I have an amazing ability to pick relevant podcasts while driving. Just had my blood work done in preparation of starting Pluvicto and not being able to choose wisely while driving I picked this podcast which i have heard before and have even advocated on this forum before. Dr Chetty is so brilliant

Abraxane
Hi ladies, I’m absolutely over the moon to hear that my oncologist has been able to get the Abraxane chemotherapy funding for me! I am due to start in January, I wonder if any of you ladies have had this chemotherapy in the past and if so what side effects you had, how you found it in general, did

Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
Hi, I'm 68 years old. Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a PSA value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle. Also the fat plane between the rectum and prostate is lost

Interesting article about curing autoimmune diseases
You don't get to view very many free articles, but the Epoch Times had this to say about potentially curing autoimmune diseases. https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/can-autoimmune-disease-be-cured-scientists-say-we-may-be-close-5579207

Raised platelets and Eylea injections question for moderators or anyone with special knowledge
I suffer from a rare type of blood cancer in which my platelets are too high. They have been controlled during the last three years but recently have risen again. During the last six years I have been having Eylea injections for macular degeneration in both eyes (somewhere about 60 injections altogether

anyone know how long chemo & radiation & effects remain in your body? Thx in advance.
I’m a year past these treatments. My oncologist said during treatment to stay off of vitamin E & C. Just wondering.

First line of treatment
Well, I finally got to see my oncologist at Fred Hutchinson cancer center today. And finally a treatment plan! This all took time because I moved from South Carolina to Seattle for cancer treatment and to be with my kids. My oncologist was grateful I had done all the tests and biopsies prior to my appointment

Chemo pills
My husband started his radiation and chemo pills Monday. It is recommended to take the pills before bedtime. After taking the pills he won't go to bed. He's up all night, going outside....it's like a teverse effect. Has anyone ran into this? Any suggestions?
