artistry 7 clinical trial
I will begin the artistry 7 trial in the next few weeks. Standard chemo has stopped working after. 4 reoccurrences , 7 different chemo/combos . Last Scan still showed progression but as low volume of disease. I only qualify for this one trial . Has anyone been on it and had success or what to expect

Loss of appetite?
Hi everyone. It’s been a long time since I have posted but I haven’t forgotten about this forum. My first post was made when I was in university but now I’ve graduated and have started the big girl life with a big girl job. My dad switched from Zytiga to Chemo this year. His left leg has gone numb

Low hemoglobin
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
