Adrenals or Not Adrenals
Well, further to my post last week, I've had the results of both my faecal occult blood test (for new re-occurring digestive issues) and BNP blood test (for indications of heart failure) and all have come back normal with no further action required. The extreme fatigue has improved significantly

Update on my Pace and Ablate
Last Friday I went for the ablation of my sinus node in great trepidation but I needn't have worried as it all went like clockwork. The sedation was wonderful and I was back on the ward within an hour and home in time for tea! The first couple of days were a bit uncomfortable and I dropped off the

PSA fluctuations on docetaxel?
Hello all, is it normal for the PSA to increase and decrease while on docetaxel? Dad’s enrolled in a clinical trial and is receiving chemotherapy (docetaxel). His PSA was declining but suddenly increased to 1.26 two cycles/doses ago, and to 1.39 last cycle/dose. Wondering if this is indicating his cancer

Chemo vs Xofigo
I am seven years from diagnosis (PSA 1,666). Still have my prostate. Firmagon brought PSA to undetectable in five months. After continuous Eligard, Xtandi, and Clinical Trial, back up to 800 PSA. My decision now is this: Chemo or XOFIGO (RA 223). Anyone out there that can help me with their experiences

Thyroid Blood Test Results
Hi all, I finally managed to get a copy of my thyroid blood test results but there is so little information on there that I’m unsure of what I should do next. I’ve posted before but my situation is that I had a partial thyroidectomy back in July 2022 and I’ve been getting symptoms such as tiredness

Is ADT beneficial after castration resistance sets in?
If PSA is rising at the same doubling time (3 weeks) as it was without ADT (when I was Castration sensitive and did intermittent ADT breaks), then is it useful to keep taking ADT? If so, why? Is that because the ADT would be slowing some castration sensitive cancer, even though the castration resistant

Oregovomab Clinical Trial
Hello, I was recently approved to participate in the Phase III trial. I am wondering if anyone has participated in the Phase II trial and what their experience has been. Also, do you think participation may exclude me from future treatments? https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04498117?term=oregovomab

‘Liquid Radiation’ promises new cancer treatment- DrMichael Hofman, Lead-212 and Lu-177 sounds very promising !
(Sorry for the cut and paste) Jill Margot Mar 31, 2023 – It’s described as “liquid radiation” and it promises to be a new pillar in the treatment of cancer. And among the groups around the world working on this technology, Australia is a leader. Professor Michael Hofman, a nuclear physician-scientist

Suddenly Glad....
In my first post to the community, I was wondering if I should get an ablation or not, based on the advice of a somewhat snarky cardiologist. Since then, I have had a second opinion from both a new cardiologist and a new electrophysiologist. BOTH said they saw no reason to rush into this. The cardiologist

Feeling really down
I am week 7 post my first cryoablation for paroxysmal AFib. For the first week or so I had NSR fluctuations with mild AFib. Since 6th September I have been in constant AFib with HR ranging from 80-120bpm. I have tried and failed to get any real advice from AFib nurses and the EP who did my procedure
