Newly diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of lung
My local VA blew off my frequent complaints of headaches . Turns out they were metastasis from a small nsc lung cancer. Now have had a week's worth of targeted radiation to the head and started chemo last week; pemetrexed and carboplatin. Turns out I didn't have any of the "good" mutations they could

I recently learned that I have four mets on my lungs, one on a rib and one on my pelvis. Had prostatectomy in March 2014 and follow-up radiation during June 2015. Over last year, PSA has climbed from 2.12 in September 2016 to 16.8 in October 2017. Currently, considering either hormone + chemo or hormone

GOOD NEWS - NEW TREATMENT APPROACH
Hi friends! Just returned from a visit at MD Anderson and had good news I wanted to share in case it helps someone else here. My case is a bit unique - I have advanced prostate cancer, but the only place I have any sign of metastatic disease is in the T8 vertebra. (I’ll leave the rest of my history

Greetings, I haven't posted before, but have been impressed by the courage and care shown by so many of you. I was diagnosed in 2007 (yeah, ten years ago) and had a robotic prostatectomy that November - they almost got it all. Gleason 5+4=9. Since then, I have failed salvage radiation, ADT, Casodex

A Little Prednisolone Advice Please
Good morning all. So I began my journey with PMR in July 2016, on 15mg which worked wonders. Since then I have been able to reduce down to 9mg which is where I've been for about 6 months. I have always split the dose morning and evening as I found at the beginning it wasn't lasting me 24 hours and would

Help - is this right?
Hi all, I have read yesterday's comments about DEXA scans and taking AA with interest - and concern. After initial diagnosis and getting going on meds (Pred only) my GP said she didn't need to see me until I had reduced to 5mg. As time went on it was clear that this wouldn't happen in a rush and I asked

Cancer remains after prostatectomy
I was a reasonably fit 52 year old guy when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March this year 3TB Gleason of 9 and was operated on in May (open
radical
prostatectomy
). Unfortunately after the operation I was told that I still had cancer (lymph, base and apex) and told I was 'still high risk'.

UV lamp for Osteoporosis?
Hi, I’ve just started taking alendronic acid after being diagnosed with OP. I have been taking Adcal for years for osteopenia but fell whilst cycling fracturing both wrists hence a dexa & the resultant diagnosis. Does anyone have any experience of using a UV lamp?

I am new here and started hormone therapy
I am 59 years old and had my prostate (PSA) test done in the fall of 2016. It came back at 40, after a biopsy found the Gleason score to be 4 + 3 (7). I had a Prostectomy at the end of May 2017. The surgeon was sure it was contained and that they got all the cancer out. After healing up for 7 weeks
