Hi all, My husband Scott was recently taken off of Pluvicto after four treatments because his PSA skyrocketed and he developed liver metastases. He will be treated with chemo in the next month or two. In the meantime he is sleeping all day long and has no appetite to speak of. I just checked

newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer
Hello. I’ve just had my second chemo and I’m finding it is taking me longer to bounce back compared to my first time. Just wondering have you experienced similar symptoms each time or do the symptoms accumulate with each chemo sessions? I know it’s very individual and experiences and symptoms vary

looking for advice.
My husband Martin was diagnosed in 2019 with prostate cancer. Gleason score 7 (3+4) Biopsy showed 12 out of 16 cores. In June 2019 he had Robotic surgery. We were told everything went very well. His PSA dropped to <0.05. This lasted until September 2020 when his PSA started to increase 0.46. And continued

Life beyond Myelofibrosis
I progressed from ET to Myelofibrosis a couple of years ago. I had an enlarged spleen and ruxolitinib lowered the platelets too much so I was switched to fedratinib. Depending on what predictive tool was used, I had a median predicted life span of between 2 and 14 years - not terribly helpful! I was
