My Journey - Breast Cancer
So far - I'm Lucky. On March 8th - my husband found a lump on my right breast. He was so sweet - Honey - when was your last Mamo. July 2023 - Why. And then he showed me what he felt. After a sleepless night - right to the Gyno - no worries about apts. I needed to see them. They got me a Mamo

My Experience with Chemo/Radiotherapy
I was diagnosed with a brain tumour back in December 2012. At that time it was misdiagnosed as a GBM4 but a recurrence in 2019 sent me to hospital again where it was finally rediagnosed as an AO3. Like the GBM4, an AO3 is still terminal but gives one plenty more time on this earth. I never had radiotherapy

Thought I would never say this but I’m struggling!!!!
I’m 7.5 years into the journey aged 57 yrs old. I have done chemo, (x3) radiation and Pluvicto. It feels like the Pluvicto accelerated the disease into the whole right side of my pelvis. Scans were ugly and for some reason I have agreed to jevtana as I live for my family. Trouble is I'm miserable and

Pluvicto works but at what cost
70 yo with Stage 4, multiple bone mets, on Orgovyx daily and Xgeva every 3 months. DaVinci in past. Previously on Firmagon, Xtandi worked for awhile, nothing with Xofigo and a few rounds of Jevtana didn’t help and caused problems, also had localized XRT - but had to have chemo to qualify for Pluvicto

PTH and aggressive PCa? I need guidance
Hello, everyone! I can really use some guidance. My husband’s PTH (Parathyroid hormone) has been elevated since his Dx (pre & post treatments) Being that his blood calcium is at normal levels, his MO ruled out Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, and moved on. But that never sat right with me. Why the elevated

Sore leg muscles
Hi....I had a double mastectomy in Jan 2023 and finished my 4th and final chemo treatment one month ago. Since my 3rd treatment I have experienced extremely sore leg muscles 24/7 with no improvement. Has anyone else had this side effect?

SCT update
I went into hospital today to start my chemo, only to be told there is an issue with the donor! Obviously don’t know if there’s a family issue or they’ve changed their mind. I knew it could happen, but doesn’t make it any easier. Thanks for all your love & support, best wishes. Shirley

Unknown Territory!😔
About 18months on Ibrance/Letrozole then progression to Liver. Been on Verzenio now for a short period thus far and Oncologist wants to do 9 Rounds/Weeks of IV Chemo. Has anyone had a similar experience? After the 9weeks possibly back on Verzenio or on Xeolda. Diagnosed De Novo so this will be first

Treatments after Y 90
I tried to find the answer online but failed so I thought this site might have the answer. Can you have treatments like plivucto or chemo after the SIRS microscopic treatment or is that the end ? Hopefully people will have the knowledge I cannot find or know. Thank you for solving this head scratcher

Advice for treatment of liver metastases.
Hi Ladies I finished chemo in February for second recurrence. Unfortunately my CA125 was rising, was 9 the 27 now 55 and it's a good indicator for me that something is happening. Had a CT and it shows one tumor 2.4cms in my liver. All clear otherwise. Lots of emotions. Disappointed but relieved it's
