1st Bone Marrow Biopsy
Hi all. I just had my first bone marrow biopsy yesterday. I have been dealing with MBL / CLL over the last decade and my count is around 50. I do not really have any symptoms except swollen lymph nodes in the neck and groin. I am 52 years old, quite fit (exercise hard 5 times a week) and work full time

Chemotherapy again?
I completed 6 cycles of Docetaxel in March 22, I had a CT scan on 1-15-23 and on the 16th my MO requested pre-approval for docetaxel and was approved. I am currently on Lupron and Zometa and wondering if I am jumping to conclusions that there must have been something on my CT scan that prompted the request

Docetaxel and gemzar together. Too much?
My soon-to-be 77-year-old husband is on a double regimen of chemotherapy. Before starting chemo for advanced prostate cancer, he underwent a PSMA Pet Scan. The scan showed a small node on his left kidney duct. It was decided to give him two infusions, docetaxel for prostate cancer, and gemzar to

antibiotics while on chemo?
Hello, ladies. I am on cisplatin and Gemcitabine (Gemzar) and have developed an infection near an ancient root canal that I believe has finally failed. Has anyone safely taken a basic antibiotic such as amoxicillin while on this chemo combo? I have emailed my oncologist, but it’s just 6:00 am here,

Chemo for recurrence easier?
I'll be having carbo/taxol chemo for my first recurrence, which is the same chemo I had initially. I was wondering if those of you who have been through it found the second go-round easier, harder, or different from the first.Thanks for sharing your experience. It really helps.

Jevtana (Cabazitaxel) before Xofigo (Radium 223)
Hi I was speaking to an Oncology nurse last week who suggested that after Docetaxel, Oncolgists were inclined to prescribe Jevtana before Xofigo. This apparently is because it is less effective the other way round. I have to say my instinct was to try radiotherapy before going back to chemo. The Docetaxel

Halfway through chemo, new scans, seeking advice
Have now completed 4 of 6 Docetaxel/Carboplatin treatments and went to Mayo in Rochester for PSMA Pet scan (Ga-68, see results below). My PSA remains undetectable (<0.05), which, given my historically low PSA, is probably not the Most reliable indicator but I assume means the Lupron and Nubeqa might

Getting Xeloda delivered Wednesday
Yesterday I got a phone call from a specialty pharmacist who will be sending my first round of Xeloda out on Monday. She had questions for me and told me I will be on a 3 week schedule, 2 weeks taking Xeloda twice a day and then 1 week off. They will phone me to see how I am doing and then send me

QoL and personal decision-making
I came across this article, which was published in a general interest magazine, written by a noted researcher in Medical Ethics who is also a long time practicing oncologist. The title given to the article was the publication's and the author made pains in an interview to say it is somewhat misleading

Docetaxil first, then Pluvicto or Pluvicto first
Zytiga failed and Dr Milowsky, my MO at Lineberger Cancer Ctr recommends I go on chemotherapy first and if or when that fails, go to Pluvicto. Dr Almaguel, a nuclear radiologist, who is doing trials for Pluvicto which I did not qualify for, having crossed over to Xtandi, recommends Pluvicto without

3rd surgery
Hi everyone, I am 3c low grade and happy to say after debulking and 1 round of chemo last year, I was Ned. I have had a small nodule underneath one of my laparoscopy scars so going back in on Monday for it to be taken away. I know this is a much smaller op than the other two and I shouldn’t be worrying

Price of chemo meds pills 💊
WTF! $1900 copay for 21 day round. Tired of calling around for grants, etc. I am very angry and disgusted!
