HDR Brachytherapy
I’m resting up in my UK hospital bed after going through HDR-brachytherapy (as a monotherapy) the past two days, to treat intermediate stage (G3+4) PC. I had radiation delivered in two fractions, about 18 hours apart. People can obviously read up all about this treatment option online at various sites

ADT or Hospice?
My 96 year old FIL was recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer which has metastasized to his liver, lymph nodes, pelvis and spine, with a compression fracture in L12. The family is at a crossroads, deciding between starting him on ADT or having him enter hospice. As the urologist described

Radiation after Radical Prostatectomy with Lymph Node Removal in Non Metastatic and Metastatic Men. Need some answers.
For anyone following this post, just asking for clarity on the differences and to share your individual experiences. I had a radical prostatectomy with lymph node removal only 8, negative for pca. But, found with positive EPE margins, bladder wall, and microscopic bladder neck. A RO mentioned radiation

Bowel endo surgery
I was diagnosed with endo via lap four years ago. At the time i had an endometrioma removed but they left some endo (including a nodule) on my left uterosacral ligament as it was too close to the ureter. I also had mirena fitted at the same time and discharged straight after the surgery. Although there

About Radiation After Radical Prostatectomy
Do Physicians only recommend radiation for non metastatic men? and only recently in Oligo metastatic patients? Do they use radiation as a tool to bring psa down in metastatic men? and or radiation is only used as palliative for bones and pain? My apologies, If I’m not processing this thoroughly

Radiation safety precautions
96 yr old who's still going. A little slower but my daughter won't let me be sedentary. She's a real nag about, at minimum, 360 ounces of water, short walks (with walker) 2x day, and nutrition!! Was living on my own but live with her now, because she's the coordinator of all the appointments. Pluvitico

Long Story then Question: Ibrance or Pikray?
BACKGROUND. On 20 Feb, I had five or six cancerous lesions ablated from the liver. The PET done right afterward indicated one lesion left. On 6 April, that lesion was ablated but a very bad thing happened. The ablation instrument slipped and made a hole in my colon. I have been down and out, ever

Clear Cell reoccurrence update number 4
Hi everyone, hope you’re all not too bad and enjoying the lovely weather. I’ve been back to The Christie, I didn’t get on the immunotherapy trial, my CA125 wasn’t high enough would you believe! I’m not a candidate for radiotherapy either but I may be a candidate for surgery. I’ve been referred for

numb chin syndrome
I seem to have a numb chin syndrome, a good week now. The cause should be a metastasis on my skull, pressing on a nerve and causing the numbness of the chin. Next week I will have a ct of the skull.Anyone more info?
