Hi ladies I’ve seen my oncologist today for results on my latest CT scan. It’s showing 2 new growths in addition to several others which have been slowly creeping in which weve been watching and waiting on. I’ve been on Letrozole for few months which hasn’t worked. One of the new ones is in my left

Second Reaccurrence
I have been in the maintenance drug rucaparib since March 2022. After some dose reductions I settled down to it quite well apart from from blood transfusions due to low haemoglobin. However, at my last CT scan this June my lymph nodes had swollen suggesting the rucaparib was no longer working. I was

Sadly Pluvicto did not work ...
After receiving the results from my PSMA PET scan at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, I am sad to say my disease is progressing. I had four Pluvicto infusions with no SE's what so ever.. I felt that they mirrored my Docetaxel treatments again other than my hair falling out I had no other SE's. which

Our Pluvicto story
I need to begin by saying how grateful we are to have received Pluvicto at a time when so many could not. I'm grateful for our medical team that fought so hard to get approval for Pluvicto at a time when no one was able to get it. My husband was able to complete all 6 treatments with little side effects

And so it goes.
I didn't want to write this maybe because I won't have to admit it until I wrote it down - but I owe it to you guys. So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my PSA was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my PSA started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed

PSA down but mets increasing?
I've been on ADT + Xtandi for about a year (see my Bio for details) and my PSA has been slowly and steadily reducing over that time - now down to 0.05. However, my 3 CT scans (last August, December and last month) are showing a slight increase each time in the size of my lymph node mets and the bone

Next Steps?
Good morning my fellow warriors. I have reached another cross roads in my treatment. I was set up to have HDR and SbRT as salvage treatment, but a PSMA scan showed disease progression to more lymph nodes which caused my Radiation Onc. to cancel the HDR. My regular ONC is now recommending Chemo after

Think I can share my success story now
I want to preface this by saying that I do not intend to minimise or downplay others’ suffering. There are lots of people on here with cases far worse than mine is and I am all too aware of this. Also what worked for me may potentially not help you at all or in a worst case scenario make your own tinnitus

Venetoclax for dummies
Venetoclax owes its origin to a lady named Eliza Hall, I bet AussieNeil has heard of her. Eliza was a lady from Melbourne Australia who married an Englishman named Walter Hall in 1874. Walter Hall and his two brothers arrived almost penniless in Australia in 1852, coming from England to search for
