Stopping Injections After 3 Loading Doses
Hi! I’m new here and learning so much from reading all of the posts here. I was diagnosed with low B12 levels earlier on this year, although my PA antibodies came back negative. I was put on injections, and was meant to have 6 over 2 weeks followed by 1 every 3 months, however my GP had to stop them

2nd Dose at Sarah Cannon Research
Morning folks, Finishing second dose of XmAb808 and all is well so far. Blood work looks good and have to wait four hours post dose. On Cipro for UTI and that is better too Let’s kill those cancer cells

HELP! Firmagon reaction?
Hi - yesterday I had my 3rd monthly (80mg) injection of Firmagon. For all my previous injections, including the 2 initial loading doses, I did not have any major side effects, just some minimal soreness at the injection site which resolved in less than 2 days. Yesterday's injection was a little bit

Acute kidney failure - creatinine is climbing
My hubby's treatment is venetoclax and acalabrutinib (he previously had obinutuzumab too). He is also taking sulfameth trimeth (for ammonia) and valacyclivor (for shingles) dropped from 1200 to 800 mg a day. We just saw a Renal Specialist Dr and she said that they really don't know the full extent

Feeling sick after HD (advice for my dad)
Hello! My dad (72) has been on HD for two years* now. Lately, he often finds that his blood pressure drops and he feels sick after he's returned home from dialysis, even if he feels okay during treatment. He says the clinic staff watches his BP closely as well as the amount of fluid they're removing

Final Pluvicto shot and things OK
I just had my 6th, and final, injection. Feeling well but everyone concerned with kidney function dropping -- hopefully transient and not an on-going trend, on the plus side this is the last time it has to deal with all that radioactive liquid. Chugging water and peeing like a champ! To review:

hepatocytes -(liver cells)

How to control thirst to avoid Fluid overload
Hi Friends My mother is on Maintenance Haemodialysis thrice a week since 4 months. She is now adjusted to this process. As she lives in the tropical country, in the summer season it will be difficult for her to limit the fluid intake. Can any one advice how to control the thirst to limit fluid intake

always question
Just this morning there was a post about questioning the legitimacy of a survey about itching - and receiving payment for completing it. Some of you reached out to The PBC Foundation (as did I) to just make sure it was 'for real'. I am just as hopeful that when any of you don't feel the care you receive

Time to PSA Nadir is related to progression-free-survival
This graph from Teoh (2014) plots the relationship between Time to PSA Nadir (months) versus Time to Progression (months) (i.e., Progression Free Survival). Cohort: ADT monotherapy (No RP or RT), all metastatic patients, median 74 y.o., GS = 8-10, N=419. A cubic spline curve fit matched the data points

Abiraterone seems to be working
An update on my situation. To review, I now appear to be castrate resistant after about 6 1/2 years of being castrate sensitive. My MO put me on Abiraterone, along the existing Lupron. I had my MO appt and my PSA has fallen from 4.5 to 2 after about 7 weeks on Abi. This is my second iteration with Abi

Cortisol test
Result of morning cortisal test was 131 which is rubbish (range 102-535) and explains why I feel exhausted some days. Have been on 3mg for several weeks. Looks like it’s a Synacthen test next. Thanks PMRpro for the info on that. Is the experience ok anyone out there who’s had one?

Leg Cramping, Ankle Neuropathy...Help!
Hello all! When I last posted 2 months ago, I had questions regarding the possibility that my daily 1,000 mcg sublingual might no longer be adequate to address PA, even though all of my test results were adequate (MMA, Homocysteine, MCV). Since then, however, I've developed left ankle numbness/pain.

PSA showing .014 - concerned?
I had RP 3/22, PSA went up to .095 3 months after. I started Orgovyx on 8/15/22 had radiation Jan & Feb 23 and started Abi 4/23. All my psa's have been 0 since 10/22. Now it is at .014. I see my oncologist next Tuesday but I don't want to wait for his answer. How bad of a sign is this? I'm guessing
