Liver detox after chemo?
I am starting Taxotere next week and received some advice from a friend fighting serious colon cancer. He told me how he detoxed his liver after each cycle. He used TUDCA Bile salts and PectaSol from ECONugenics Company. https://econugenics.com/collections/pectasol?Wickedsource=Microsoft&Wickedid

health spa
As the end of my chemo radiation is in sight I have been wondering about treating myself to a break at some sort of health retreat or spa that includes helping cancer patients. Just wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations? It would be nice to have something pleasant to look forward

Will begin a Pfizer starting on Monday. I will post more later as it goes. We are adding a drug to Xtandi to treat solid tumors. I have been on and off Xtandi a few times. I am chemo naive. In the past had a very heavy tumor load and received 3 rounds of Lu-177 from Ishita Sen, Fortis health in Delhi

So I’m pretty much closing the book on my 4th year on Keytruda (pembroluzimab). I’ve recently completely my 33rd Pembro infusion. Keytruda was my Hail Mary after running through most other SOC. My PSA was rising while on chemo the second time when I found out I had the markers that made me eligible

Chemo and social life
My husband and I are both freshly aware of his need to avoid getting ill due to low white blood cell count - his is only 1.93, and that's 10 days after his first treatment. He's opting to work from home (on the days that he's not wiped), but with holidays coming and plans to gather with family, we're

May be doing IV chemo for the first time. Need tips - really freaked out!
Hi, so I’ve successfully avoided doing IV chemo since 2019. But due to bone mets I just had hip surgery and the pills I’ve been on are not working. I was told by the surgeon 2 days ago that I need systemic treatment asap or I’ll die. I’m having a petscan tomorrow and depending on how it looks, I’ll

Recap and update
hi, Well today I had my scan results. Just to recap, I’m stage 4 snd IDS was not attempted due to significant disease remaining in mesentry. I’ve had 6 rounds of chemo now and was hoping to have debulking at this stage. However my MDT, having looked at scan have said no. I was still responding to treatment

Still true that using same scan type is preferable to changing scan type?
Mr. Spouse 21, ten years since dx with Gleason 9 in 80% of cores, has only had bone and CT scans to track progression. That's how it was done in 2014. He's been stable since chemo with his current Eligard & Xgeva treatment--see full Profile for his record of Lupron, radiation, Zytiga (failed), Docetaxel
