Iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel 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, including ferritin. My grasp of iron is poor so anyone who

Rising PSA
Hi, have updated my profile to reflect recent changes. A gradual increase in PSA (1.2) with the prospect of changes to treatment if it continues at the current rate and gets near to 4. The oncologist is suggesting probably chemo but I would like to know more about other options before that discussion

chemo break
my lovely mum just finished 6 rounds of carbo caelyx after recurrring 11 months from frontline. Her mid treatment scan showed a reduction in all tumours and post 6 a further reduction. She has a cold currently and ca125 is 113. Her oncologist said he’s very happy with her and they will go back to 3

Locally Advanced PC - should I accept offer of docetaxel?
Hi I'm UK based, new to Health Unlocked and just starting to get to grips with the chats. I was diagnosed August '23 with locally advanced PV. Spread has occurred to a seminal vesicle and, very slightly, to a pelvic lymph node (Oncologist called it 'subtle') Gleason of 4+5. I immediately embarked

R-CHOP Treatment
After FCR chemo 15 years ago and numerous oral medications since I am in chemo again. They tried a milder chemo to reduce my lymph nodes (they were huge). Some success, but not as much as I needed. So now I've had one round of R-CHOP. All that it has done for me so far is take my wbc's to 0.4. I'm

PSA increase nearly one year after triplet therapy (mHSPC), what's next?
Hello everyone, thank you for all your help for a year. My dad went from a high of 3103 PSA to a nadir of 44. He unfortunately couldn't reach a <1 result but it had stabilized for a few months after his docetaxel + zytiga + prednisone. Unfortunately his new result is 67 PSA exactly a year since diagnosis

Neuroendocrine PCa
I posted awhile back that my PCa had progressed to high grade neuroendocrine carcinoma/small cell. I was treated with 4 rounds of atezolizumab/carboplatin/etoposide (chemotherapy and immunotherapy). A pet/CT scan shows it was effective, and I fared better than I expected going in, but definitely have

Order of treatment?
My husband has been on Abiraterone for 5 months during which time his PSA has risen,. Before that he had had 6 rounds of Docetaxel which also saw his PSA rise. Having waited for 6 weeks to have a biopsy and get the results for neuroendocrine PC (he didn’t have it) his oncologist has said he can either

Xeloda after IV Chemo
Just wondering about Oral Xeloda after 6 rounds of IV Chemo didnt have the exact desired results we wanted. Wondering if there are times Xeloda achieved clear Margins on Liver Mets when IV Chemo didnt after 6rounds. Thanks for any input.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve
Also Happy Hump Day 😁 https://youtu.be/PBsjggc5jHM?si=JPeepmKsrlzyNL0E Silly Kaiser thinks that Abiraterone is chemo and won't mail it, so gotta go down to Bakersfield monthly to get it, but this time I brought Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts for the AIS Cancer Center Onco and Radiation staff.

Positiv result of cooling cap dependence on "the chemo drug"?
My friend is on Enhertu and she took the last two cycles cooling caps, the version with freezer. The result wasn't so good. Now she heard, that the reason for this could be the typ of chemo drug. Knows someone of you something about this? Or have somebody an idea if this could be possible? I'm looking

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one
