Sclerosis due to cancer or treatment?
I recently developed sclerosis in my left hip area...painful to sit on a hard surface. PSMA tech wrote 'sclerosis developed consistent with treatment'. Oncologist seems unconcerned. I've read that sclerosis can sometime happen when ADT reduces tumor size, which means the bone has to adjust. The recent

Next step options after lupron/zytiga failed
I have been on monthly Lupron for 7 years (starting in 2014) after the spread of prostate cancer to my bones following a prostatectomy in 2014. Lupron alone was very effective until December 2021. I then added Zytiga/Prednisone which had worked well. But current (June 2024) scans show substantial disease

Phase 3 trial enrolling: MK-5684 Versus Alternative Abiraterone Acetate or Enzalutamide in participants with mCRPC
Previously Treated With Next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based Chemotherapy...which would be the case for people that did the triplet. It's the "old" ODM-208 molecule! https://uvahealth.com/clinicaltrials/phase-3-randomized-open-label-study-mk-5684-versus-alternative-abiraterone-acetate

I’m 36, so lucky to have two beautiful, healthy children (both ICSI babies), but I had always dreamed of three. I don’t want this to come across as insensitive in anyway (the reason for our infertility is as a result of years of chemotherapy my husband endured, after being diagnosed with an aggressive

Chronic cough and Enhertu
Have had mets to my lungs for eight years now and progression has been relatively slow with periods of stability. Interestingly, though my mets in my lungs haven’t materially changed since last year (though too many to count most nodules are less than 1cm with a few in the 2cm range), I now have a chronic

Hi Everyone……I just joined and would like to introduce myself. My name is Kate, 67 yr old female. In 2005 I was diagnosed with Stage III Uterine Cancer. I had high doses of radiation and chemo. Initially, all my problems were urine incontinence, UTI’s, urine retention, and multiple trips to ER. My bladder

feeling abandoned
hello I have posted on here before, I was first diagnosing in 2020 Stage 3C. I had absolutely no idea on that day I was to be told this devastating news. The Consultant that day never even looked up from his papers and just continued to write. When I looked shocked he said you must have known of

Finished my 6th Docetaxil infusion a month ago. Didn't get the results I was looking for. Psma scan shows some gone, some smaller, nothing new. MO wants me to do 3 more.

Lansoprazole
Anyone taking Lansoprazole as well as Levothyroxine? If so how do you take it? I always take Levo first thing on empty stomach but apparently that’s how you should take Lansoprazole. I have been told I need to take it as I am on daily aspirin and now chemo tablet daily. Anyone else could advise please

Jevtana
Once again I am asking for any information that can be provided from this great group. Would appreciate any information for Jevtana treatment. At doctor's appt yesterday, my husband's hemoglobin had decreased to 7.6 and he had to have a blood transfusion. His Alkaline Phosphatase went up again.

Not sure how to help/plan
Hi all, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but felt like typing this might somehow make something better. I'm late 30s, single, only child, single parent, no other family left alive. My mum was diagnosed with stage 4B ovarian last August. She's done chemo (CA 125 down to 6), and debulking.

Ca125 started to creep up ( lymph nodes ) so back to chemo which seemed to work but 5 months later its back. Told

Signifficant PSA LEVELS
I'm an 81 year old man who has had an enlarged prostate for several months. PSA tests levels 9.1 and 8.1 (several months apart). My Father died of prostate cancer, which had spread to other parts of his body. Follwing a Digital Anal test, my prostate was reported as "smoothly enlarged and sulcus palpable

And now this.
I’m waiting to start Carboplatin after Docetaxel was stopped. PARP inhibitor not indicated. The Oncologist is talking about non-standard treatment and I’m feeling like it’s the end of the road. In addition, I’ve been diagnosed with heart failure. Wonder if that is due to chemo 25 years ago for Hodgkins

Docetaxal chemotherapy
I have had prostate cancer since 2017. First I had radiation and then Lupron for three years. When my PSA started to rise I took abiraterone and Lupron for 3 more years and was undetectable. It started to rise again to 1.78. Then I was put on Xtandi but after a week I developed a full body rash. When

Hi all. Unfortunately after 3 additional rounds of Carboplatin and Etoposide chemo has failed and the cancer is growing both in Martins Liver and his bones. We have a meeting with his MO this evening. Not sure if there is anything left to try. Have been checking out clinical trials etc but if anyone

Secondary surgery
Hello I just had my CT scan and it shows some disease progression in the liver area where a small bit of tumour couldn’t be removed at initial surgery. My bloods are good and I’m really well. I’ve got a plan for Chemo. I’ve been reading about secondary surgery and chemo at first recurrence. Has anyone

chemo nausea/vomiting

Anyone find cold plunge or sauna helpful?
I'm six weeks in on ADT. Working to stay ahead of fatigue with resistance training and weighted vest walking as I gear up for radiation and chemo in the next few months. Anyone done any cold plunge or sauna to help battle side effects or get better sleep? What was your experience?
