Any tips welcome on how to tolerate chemo
As you know, my 88 year old warrior of a father, has battled his cancer HARD for 16 years. He has been optimistic despite all of this, and has always KNOWN he can beat this. A great attitude to have. He has declined quite a bit after having a spontaneous fracture of his pelvis 8 weeks ago - after 5

New MRI finding
Yesterday I had an MRI due to some back pain. I had an MRI, pet scan in February and clean CAT scan in June. Plus all of my labs have been perfect. Now they’re telling me that they see a 2.1 CM metastasis on my L2 area of my spine. I am a bit freaked out but I’m trying to wrap my head around this.

I am the wife of a husband who has advanced prostate cancer. He has just finished 6 rounds of Taxotere chemotherapy and has been taking Orgovyx and Nubeqa since his diagnosis. I am interested in exploring more holistic approaches in going foward with his treatment.

Hello strangers.
Hello, just thought that having been banned from the Cllforum years ago for no good reason, I would catch up with what has been happening to some of the people I liked so much. (I was banned for complaining about the ALT-MED stuff that used to appear so regularly there, and the fact that it was treated

Clinical Trial with Abemaciclib and Olaparib
Hey Queens! I am reaching out to see if anyone is participating in this clinical trial. I am having a hard time deciding if this is a “favorable” option for me. I’d love to get some type of feedback from an actual patient. It’s fairly new, so any findings seem impossible to come by. Also, I’

Muscular pain and sciatica
Hello, I have high grade serous OC 3c and i'm on my second round of chemo. My symptoms started at the beginning of April and was diagnosed with cancer in mid-May. By then I had started to develop muscular pains in my body, which have intensified. The second week after my first chemo I developed sciatica

Feeling utterly helpless
Hi, my mum (early 60s) has been diagnosed with glioblastoma on her right side of her brain spreading to her corpus callosum. Surgery was considered too risky so we choose radiotherapy and chemo. However, the oncologist is now saying he thinks radiotherapy will do more harm than good. Her mobility

CEA Fluctuations
My husband has just completed his 3rd cycle of Carboplatin and Etoposide for prostate cancer liver mets. Before the first cycle his CEA was 38 (should be <5) This number is being used as baseline. After 1st cycle it was 30.3 but after his 2nd cycle it rose to 32.7. Is it normal for CEA to fluctuate

Abiraterone - alternatives
Only 3 months after completing 6 rounds of Docetaxel my husband was put on Abi as his onco felt the chemo had been unsuccessful. However the onco is now saying he will pull him off the Abi as his PSA has doubled for the each of the 2 months he’s been on it. In the UK once you’ve been on Abi for 3 months

Diuretics and maintenance daily potassium?
HiOn a high level of tabletted furosemide. Deep joy. Off and on my potassium has been low and is topped up by fizzy tablets and has always worked so far. The problem is the symptoms are quite similar to low bp and...heart failure...and beta blockers...so I tend to struggle on and this time it's 2.9 and

Worried
I was due to have a polyp removed on the day of surgery (4 Jan) I attended for day surgery but the anaesthetist wasn't happy that I had only been diagnosed with angina by my GP. My GP had referred me to cardiology around the middle of 2022, but due to long waiting lists I had not seen a cardiologist
