Knowledge Isn't Enough
Hi Everyone! I've been reading and responding for several months, but this is my first OP. ADHD was diagnosed at 54, I'm almost 67 now. At the time, I was still working, and Vyvanse was a small miracle! After several years, I got breast cancer and stopped meds while I went through chemo and radiation

Flushed after chemo treatment
I’ve just had my second chemo treatment (carbopactol and taxol) for endometrial carcinoma) . The day after I wake up to red flushing on face and neck sometimes extends to chest. After second treatment it lasted into second and third day. Nurses on triage line said to take Benadryl. That did help a little

A very knowledgeable source informed me about a multi-institutional UK trial using dose adjustment in ovarian cancer. Does it ring any bells to you? [i]"How does adaptive therapy work?[/i] [i]Resistance comes at a cost to cancer cells, and so they cannot grow as well when they are competing with non-resistant

Follow Up
Hi guys, I know you will remember the farce that was my treatment - so no no need to do 10 A4 worth of words. Just say last year I never got a follow up - until almost a year later. This time I had my BCG treatment for BC and a week Wednesday I have a Cystoscopy to see if the treatment has worked

Why white blood counts can be high or low. Could a high count be blood cancer, in particular Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)?
If you are concerned about receiving a blood test result with a high white blood cell (WBC) count (leukocytosis), be reassured that the most common reason for a high WBC, is a high lymphocyte or neutrophil count, [u]most often from an infection or inflammation[/u], [u]

My beloved father and best friend has passed away, he will always be my hero.
My wonderful father Albert Moser passed away May 20, 2023. The last few months have been incredibly hard.

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
