Chemotherapy before surgery.
Hi I am new to the forum and just about to start my journey with OC. I am having 3 chemo sessions before surgery as they said I might of needed extensive bowel surgery if I had surgery first. Has anyone had some chemo before surgery and how it effected you going in to surgery. I feel very frightened

ET/Jak2 postive
Hello! I was recently diagnosed with ET. I had not had bloodwork done in 15 years but just decided maybe I should and my platelets came back 600. They rechecked again 2 weeks later and they were 617. So, I was referred to a hematologist. After more bloodwork there, they found I was also Jak2 positive

Abiraterone plus Prednisone and 3 monthly injection failing now in 79 year old dad with mets to bone on NHS in UK.
Hi Everyone, This site has been a great comfort and source of knowledge for me. I'm travelling down a difficult road. I've had a brain tumour/brain surgery. My mother has severe dementia. My father was diagnosed with PC in 2018. He had prostate removed in 2019, but cancer had already spread outside prostate

New To The Thread
63yo, 4+4=8 Gleason, PSA 0.05 (56 before treatment). I’m doing the triplet treatments with Lupron, Nubeqa, and taxotere (for chemo). My med oncologist has called it the STAMPEDE trial, although I’m not actually in a trial. I was diagnosed last August and recently finished chemo. I’m still on ADT.

PSA fluctuations on docetaxel?
Hello all, is it normal for the PSA to increase and decrease while on docetaxel? Dad’s enrolled in a clinical trial and is receiving chemotherapy (docetaxel). His PSA was declining but suddenly increased to 1.26 two cycles/doses ago, and to 1.39 last cycle/dose. Wondering if this is indicating his cancer

Neuropathy
Are there any new helpful remedies to ease the discomfort of this neurological disorder? I am into another round of chemotherapy, docetaxel and Carboplatin and would love to have minimal addition to the discomfort I already endure.
