Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment? I am faced with starting a six dose regimen of taxotere now since ADT does not seem to be working according to PSMA scans. My psa remains at 1.8 even though the

hi there Very low. My midway scans are showing my lymph nodes that grew after my huge debulking surgery in March have not shrunk with the chemotherapy and I have some nodules on peritoneum ( nothing in any organs) So he can’t say that the chemo hasn’t worked in other type cancer but it’s not doing

Thyroid cancer
I have a close friend who’s just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer so is waiting for surgery. She has been told this is not the worst cancer to get and it will not kill her. So she is trying to be upbeat about it. Can you live normally without a thyroid please? I’d really like to give her some optimistic

Needing to hear some encouraging stories about stage 4 inoperable OC

ctDNA - signatera
has anyone had the signatera bloodwork test? It is somewhat new science and compares a current blood draw to original tumor biopsy tissue. It then look for a match and works to to detect circulating tumor dna (ctDNA) in blood. It assigns a numbers as to how much ctDNA is found. My Mets are bone only

Going in for a radical Cystectomy, stopping Biologic.
Hello lovely people. My first six monthly Cystoscopy after getting the all clear from bladder cancer in January showed that the cancer was back with a vengeance. So on Monday I'll be undergoing a Radical Cystectomy. I'm OK and positive with the outlook of living without a bladder and lots of other bits

PSMA scan costs part 3
So in two prior posts, I wrote about what I was told a PSMA scan would cost. Then I wrote about what the hospital charged for the procedure.Now I have the EOB from insurance. So this is in the USA, for those international patients. So hospital billed $29,610 for the scan plus $7,305.70 for the facility

Acalabrutinib/COVID/swollen lymph nodes under arm

Can NDT help with low calcium levels?
Since my total thyroidectomy in April I have been on put on 125 mcg of Levothyroxine and am tolerating it quite well ( no gastro problems like with most tablets and energy levels ok ) except for extreme muscle stiffness and joint pain. Calcium levels tend to be fluctuating between ‘ normal’ and low.

If it’s not one thing, it's another! Update
Following on from the previous post, I had my appointment with the Ophthalmology Surgical Unit yesterday. Basically appeared to be a couple of pre-op tests to take measurements of my eyes. I’ve been given a contact number to call in a day or two to find out where on the waiting list I am. Hopefully

Ibrance and supplements
I belong to those who are very careful in taking food supplements. My oncologist recommended not to take calcium and vitamin D because I have a high level of calcium in my blood. I mainly use vitamin C, and I try to compensate everything else from food. I am 69 years old and use Ibrance 100 + fulvestrant

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.

mCRPC- What is double negative prostate cancer along with the other 4 subtypes.
In research trying to understand my PSMA-negative FDG-positive current scenario I've come across some interesting articles that I thought I'd share with the group. I'm consulting with a new MO on Wednesday and I'm hoping she can shed some light on my progression. This paper came out 2 weeks ago- it's
