Can I drive myself to/from Docetaxel chemo treatments?
My wife is recovering from Pneumonia and has very little energy. I'm 60 and in good shape, so should I be able to drive myself?

End of IBrance …
After 6 months of consistently rising tumor markers and increasing back and leg pain, a recent flurry of scans and an MRI have finally brought us to the realization that the IBrance and Anastrozole combo is failing to control the bone Mets in my pelvis, sacrum and L5. I’m in the process of starting

Complementary therapies?
I have just come to the end of the chemo radiation and seemingly I now wait about three months before having a PET scan and a fibroscopy to see how effective the treatment has been and what might be the next steps. Just for my own sense of well being I am thinking about trying some complementary therapies

1st Recurrence
Hi, we received the results of my mums recent scan last week and it showed that she has lesions on both of her lungs and her liver. They are numerous and all around 1cm in size. It was a shock although not unexpected as her CA125 had been rising over the last 6 months. She is due to start the same

Things I Like About ADT
I know that no one, like NO ONE, actually wants to be on ADT. There are a lot of downsides to it, and complaints about the fatigue, lack of sex drive, etc. are a common theme on this forum. I'm about a year out now from starting on Zoladex shots (a drug that works in the same way as Lupron), and I

Medication-induced nerve damage to brain. experience?
Hi, still totally on my own trying to live with this. Anyone experienced this? The medication i took years ago was for acne but also is used for chemotherapy, i’ve since found out. Pretty sure, after years of trying to find answers, it has damaged the nerves in my brain. (i get horrible tingling, pain

Hello. Low grade Serous
Hi everyone. I was diagnosed with low grade serous ovarian cancer in Sept 22, I’ve had 2 massive ops and chemo and now take Letrozole. My recent scans have been clear, which is the best news. I haven’t really reached out to many support groups but feel I need to as I feel pretty isolated with my experience

Peripheral neuropathy
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is safe during this awful weather I have been told in my latest review that I have Stage 1 peripheral neuropathy. Bit of a blow as having read up it means I have to tell DVLA as I shouldn’t drive. All treatments and appointments are an hour away by car, longer by bus. No

Treatment after Lu /Pluvicto?
It seems that there is paucity of data related to the effectiveness of treatments after Lu/Pluvicto. I'm beginning to suspect that pubished survival benefits for Radium 223/Pluvicto and chemotherapy cannot be assumed to be anticipated if the patient has had Pluvicto. My husband has completed 6 sessions

Hi Everyone!
Well, I've been on quite a journey. To say the least. I've had MS for22 years and I stopped all treatments back in 2018. I've had 17 years of injections. I still ended up in a wheelchair while on them. This July I was dx with Cancer of the mouth. It started with white patches. I had ALOT of Dr, PA, nurses

Anyone tried hyperbaric Oxygen therapy?
My bestie who is battling ovarian cancer is using this as part of her overcoming cancer plan and reckons it really helps. It gives her a boost of energy and seemes to have helped get her through the chemo stages with hardly any fatigue or sickness. It seems to be endorsed at least unofficially by many

Hello all Hope everyone is doing ok. I am new here. I found out end of August that I had a 17cm cyst on my left ovary. The MRI did not determine if the cyst was malignant or benign. My gynae-oncologist arranged for emergency surgery on the 6th September but during surgery it burst. I had my left
