I have questions about Tamoxifen, aka Hormonal Therapy
Hello all, & blessed wishes during the Holiday Season. 🎄 I must admit I haven't been on here for a while, but I hope someone can give me some answers. I was diagnosed with Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer stage 4 in 2021. I have had 6 rounds of Chemo, & a total hysterectomy. I've been doing Avastin since

Good News
It seems unfair to share my good news as I know many on this site are unsure how there diagnosis will go, as I was too at the beginning of my journey. But it is also good to read how many have good results. I was diagnosed with stage 3 Ovarian cancer over two years ago now. I had a hysterectomy, six

What do you think?
I’ve been on Lupron and Xgeva since 2014 and have had many other treatments along the way. As my PSA rose I found my best treatment was Xtandi. I had pretty good results from 2017 to 2020 , then my PSA moved upward again. Looks like I’m going to fail with Nubeqa, which I have been on for 2 1/2 months

I want to cancel the surgery and just hope for the best. 18mm mass in lower left lobe. I still work, i am fairly

updated scans post chemo
My dad has done 2 rounds of chemo, the third was delayed by hospitalization for sepsis. He has also had 10 rounds of radiation. His third round will be near Christmas and they completed scans to compare to his pre chemo scans. His full body bone scans state the following “Diffuse skeletal metastatic

Verzenio
I have stage 3 lobular cancer. So far had surgery, radiation and currently on Letrozole. I am considered high risk. Did not do chemo because it is not always effective with lobular cancer. Oncologist wants to put me on Verzenio but I am reluctant due to side effects. I am 68 and a full time teacher and

Do Sulforaphane, Melatonin, and Cayenne Pepper work?
I've been a lurker for a while. First time post. I have had a radical prostatectomy, chemo (docetaxel - 6 infusions 3 weeks apart), radiation (38 doses) and Lupron (18 months). I am done with all treatment for now. PSA minimum was 0.02, now at 0.04. I've been reading a lot about sulforaphane (BROQ)

Those being treated with Eligard, Erleada and Docetaxel
Have been taking Eligard and Erleada, my Doctor wants to add Docetaxel Chemo. Would like to hear about others being treated the same way!

Researchers from WEHI and Trento University (Italy) have answered an age-old question: which function helps mutant p53 fuel tumour growth?
The study revealed that the
loss of function
in the mutated p53 protein is the critical factor in cancer growth, disproving the previously suggested gain-of-function role. Using CRISPR gene editing, the researchers removed various mutated forms of p53 and found no change in cancer cell behavior

Be Careful Out There (UK)
As temperatures fall in UK I listened to warnings about falls on ice and made a mental note. I have been trying to walk every day while on chemo (carbo/Caelyx for 3rd recurrence). i was about 200 metres from home yesterday when I looked down and realised the pavement which had looked fine was actually

continuing back pain
I was diagnose with 2b Ovarian Cancer in April 22. I had surgery and 6 rounds of Chemo. I have a very supportive team . I have had an MRI , CT and spinal x-ray all have shown degenerative changes to my spine. There is no evidence of recurrence. My CA125 is 13. The problem is I’m consumed with anxiety

What to do?
Hi All, At the end of August 2023 I completed 8 rounds of docetaxel. On 9/13/23 my PSA was 5.7, 10/30/23 8.25 and 11/27/23 it’s now 16.72. This year has been a shit show. I know my MO will put me on pluvicto. Here’s my quandary: I am a single gay man. Parents gone. No siblings. All I have to really

Sudden onset of severe leg pain
Yesterday my husband was strolling about the house as usual. Last night he experienced debilitating pain in his right thigh to the point he collapsed when trying to put weight on it, and then could not sleep because of the pain. He has needed a walker for even a few steps. We visited his PCP today

Neutropenic fever landed me in the hospital after 1st Taxotere infusion
3 days after my first infusion I woke up to a cruel new world. The neuropathy I had previously dealt with in my feet lit up like a Christmas tree and had spread to the whole of both legs. Walking was nearly impossible due to the numbness, crippling weakness in both legs, and horrible pain in my ankles

BAT trial update
I commenced the trial about 2 months ago and I have now had 2 cycles of treatment consisting of testosterone injections and carboplatin infusions. 5 days ago I had my first CT and bone scans and the trial leader tells me my 3 detectable rib metastases are 'stable'. The stable assessment is good enough

was it the wrong time to take myself off ibandronic acid?
Hello folks, feeling a bit out of my depths at the moment. I am now 5 years on prednisolone and, after discovering this wonderful forum was on a very slow tapering, got to 6.5 mgs but a bad cold followed by stressful events and I’m back to 7.5 mgs. My husband has recently been diagnosed with non-hodgkins

Can anyone help with iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel Posted a couple of days ago but hoping for a better response this time I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low,
