It’s Been A While
Sorry I am unloading here because some of you guys will understand. I was diagnosed 19 years ago at age 45. I was single then. Life was okay for a while. Then lupron kicked in. I have had no libido for 18.5 years. I’m an only child, Mom passed 23 years ago and I lost Dad 2 years ago. One month after

Letrozole alone after a year of chemo
Hi everyone, my mom is currently being treated with only letrozole after a year of chemo which didn't work very well (she is 100% Er and Pr). She took it for 5 months after taxol and it worked much better, now she has a follow-up Pet scan after another 5 months. I wanted to know if any of you have successfully

Will Estradiol 0.025 patch for hot flushes cause cancer to come out of hiding?
Hi My husband has been taking Effexor for hot flushes and it does not seem to be effective any longer . He increased the dose from 37.5 to 75 mg and that did not seem to make a difference. He has been off Effexor now and the oncologist is saying to try the low dose Estradiol patch . To be honest we

PSA rockets up to 344
Hello - I received quite shocking news during my visit to the Mayo Clinic last week. My PSA has jumped to 344 from a low of 3.6 last November, when I completed chemo with cabazitaxel. PSA did start to rise quite soon, into double digits, but this is by far my highest PSA ever. Dr. Kwon recommended

Dad is going to start ADT shortly. He has bone mets One MO said to start with Zoladex and after two weeks to add xtandi ( starting 40 mg ) The other MO says to start only Zoladex and will think of xtandi or zytiga later at some point , maybe when Zoladex starts being less effective. He says if

I'm desperately in need of help for my mum.
My mum is 89 on chemo, plus she has dialysis 3 times a week. She's also got AF and leg ulcers. She's been on pramiproxal for years and still suffers with RSL. The GP took her off that and put her on quinine but this doesn't do anything for it. They now want to take her off quinine due to the kidney

Falling ALT - Pathway to Sarcopenia? - More Exercise Needed?
Two years in to my de novo high volume metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis, I am pleased to report excellent results so far with triplet therapy (Docetaxel chemo completed, Abiraterone ARPI, Firmagon/Degarelix GnRH antagonist as ADT). However I would be grateful for any advice today.

ADT failure
We saw my Dad's MO on 5/23. Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's PSA moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto. My

Pre-approvals under Medicare
I have regular Medicare plus a supplement and Part D. I'm just starting to research this, but figured many of you have already dealt with this issue. Does Medicare (not Medicare Advantage) do pre-approvals for things like Provenge, chemo, PSMA PET scan, etc.? None of my medical institutions seem to seek

Restless Legs
Hi all - curious if any of you are experiencing pretty intense restless legs? I am a triplet therapy patient and am through the chemo and radiation (maybe quad therapy:)) so wondering if somehow Darolutamide is contributing to this? I also take a statin, a reflux pill, vitamin D, flomax, and cialis
