Update: NEPC Treatment
A few people messaged me regarding updates about my dad’s participation in Duke CHAMP trial for small cell/NEPC. He was admitted into trial Dec ‘23 and received 3 immunotherapy infusions until he had a very severe allergic reaction causing intense itching and grade 4 red rash all over his body. He admitted

Aquablation with APC
Hi there - does anyone here have experience with an aquablation procedure to improve urinary symptoms? My father is considering it. He has been on doublet therapy for 1.5 years, his PSA recently started to tick up a little. It's been difficult to get a clear answer on whether the procedure poses any

Looking for advice for my newly diagnosed dad
Hello, I was wondering if you can offer some thoughts on my dad’s situation. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February after a week in hospital with urine retention. A Ct scan he had in hospital showed 2 small mets in pelvic area. He’s had a biopsy which showed Gleason 4 +5 and his PSA in hospital

anismus
I have chronic constipation. I think it is casued by various muscles not relaxing as the symptoms fit what I have read online. There are vaious names for this, anismus, dysssergenic defaecation and obstruced defaecation. I looked on this site and this is one of the groups that seems appropriate to post

Anyone have side effects from omenectomy?
Hi everyone, I’m after some advice. I’ve decided to have a preventative total hysterectomy with salpingo-oopherectomy (one ovary is already gone with my OC tumor - I’m one year NED so far). I also have endometriosis too, so I’m hoping this helps stop that pain too. My procedure, together with a hernia

Journey to recovery
Hi everyone, I’m in my second month of recovery from IBS. Try Peppermint oil capsules (not the sweets) 30 minutes to 1 hour before your meal; 15 minutes it’s quite ok. The Holland & Barrets is highly recommended . I also take 2 glasses of water every morning before breakfast. Your mental health also

Baclofen pump
Hello my dear friends, My spasticity has gotten worse in my legs. I did a baclofen pump trial about 20 years ago. Made my legs too weak. Now I have much tone, especially my right leg. I don't think much had changed. I am still ambulatory, some days use nothing, trekking pole(s) or a rolator, depending

Reference Library of Papers about Dutasteride for Treating Prostate Cancer
Here is a library of 20 papers about using Dutasteride to treat prostate cancer. In one study, Dutasteride monotherapy reduces PSA by 50%, reduces prostate volume by 25%, and reduces tumor volume by 30%, after 6 months of treatment, compared to placebo (Moore, 2017). https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

PSMA and bladder Cancer?
I have been having various difficulties with urination and know that my bladder is messed up. I have radiation cystitis and who knows what else. I saw my urologist recently and he had little to offer, sort of said yes you are a mess and pretty much left it at that. I have had PSMA pet scans and SPECT

Satisfaction with AUS after Radiation
