Do I need to worry?
My blood tests results were very good until now, like normal. The consultant even said I was in remission. But the latest blood test is showing HB, RBC, WBC etc all under the recommended level. No one said anything today at the Chemotherapy Unit. Only that some were a little bit low. Is this a normal

Update: Carbo/Etoposide for Dad’s Liver Mets
My dad has his 6th round of Carbo/Etoposide next week. The last 2 rounds have been very difficult on my dad. We thought he was lucky in the beginning as the side effects were manageable and attributed it to my dad being young and previously very active. It’s definitely true that chemo is cumulative.

hi lovely ladies, I have done 5 rounds of the carbo-taxol treatment and have 1 more to go. After the last 2 rounds I get this crazy itching episodes mainly on the soles of my feet that continue for about an hour. The itching is so bad literally want to chop my feet off. The oncologist found it uncommon

DDS treatment.
Hi. I saw my oncologist a few dsys ago for the result of my scan which was done after three rounds of chemo. It wasn’t the news I wanted to hear but it wasn’t all bad news. I had a partial response, which is positive, but IDS is not suitable as I still have significant mesenteric disease, which they

P.I.P advice.
Due to work becoming more tiring and being back on chemo. I am considering applying for pip so I can reduce my hours. I have applied twice in the past but was awarded zero points. Would very much appreciate any advice from those in the uk regarding this. Many thanks.

Diclofenac for neuropathy/HFS caused by Xeloda
hello everyone I suffer from hand and foot syndrome and neuropathy so I have been looking for ways to ease the pain. I have been on Doxil (IV chemo every 4 weeks, Doxorubicin) since June 2023 and the pain has been hard physically and emotionally. Yesterday my oncologist’s nurse practitioner mentioned

Shortage of Chemo drugs
I just thought it would be wise to post that in the United States at the moment, and probably world wide, there is a shortage of key chemo drugs at this time. Platins are short and being judiciously given when doctors can get them. Xeloda (Capecetabine) is in short supply right now as well. For anyone

Does triplet Therapy still work if you've failed Enza?
As most posters know the UK doesn't allow for other 'mides' once you've failed Xtandi (as I have done) But I am considering buying Abi from India to add to my Lupron and Docetaxel. Has anyone had success with Abi after Xtandi failure? Is the triplet therapy likely to work for me? And does it have to

After your endometrial cancer diagnosis, did you do any research? If so, where did you find the most useful information about your cancer?
I was diagnosed in 2015 with Stage 1A Grade 3 endometrial cancer. I had a robotic hysterectomy, with BSO and removal of 16 lymph nodes, followed by 6 rounds chemo and 5 of brachytherapy. After chemo, I was followed with CT scans every 6 months until 2018. From that point, I have not had a recurrence
