Still No Treatment for SCLC
I just don’t know how this has happened and it’s too advanced for
radiotherapy
. She’s hopefully starting Carboplatin and etoposide this week, but now has a cold. It’s all so upsetting and frustrating. Does this chemo even work? Is it going to be hell? Should we just not take it?

Afternoon radiotherapy reduces side effects for some patients
Radiotherapy
given to cancer patients could produce fewer crippling side effects if it is given to people at a time when they are naturally more active – so in the afternoon for people who are genetically predisposed to be late risers.

SRT Protocols?
I have problem with my PPO insurance as they partially approved my SRT treatment at "USC Noris cancer center" so I have to pay the "facility fees". The Blue Shield California said that the same treatment is available at Adventist Health Glendale, and regarding my 6 months Firmagone injections they said

Severe nausea after radiotherapy
My
radiotherapy
treatment for an Oesophagas tumour was completed about 4/5 weeks ago and now I have continual nausea which is seriously affecting my appetite. I have almost reached the point where I can only take nourishment drinks (smoothies).

Dermatologist says it’s just a routine apt. After saying it was skin cancer.
We have been waiting for an apt. At the hospital expecting it within 2 weeks but on chasing the apt. Found it had been put forward as routine and is scheduled for 6 weeks. Should we wait for that or get a second opinion. When the visiting dermatologist saw my daughter she told her it was likely to need

Resuming nutritional supplements after radiation therapy
I just finished 33 RT treatments last Friday. Those treatments were aimed at the 4 lymph nodes that were detected during my PSMA scan in January. The PSMA scan took place within a clinical study at Yale and was initiated due to BCR of my G9 PCa. In addition to the RT, I've been on ADT (Firmagon) and

Traditional Radiation therapy -- used everywhere/Proton Radiation therapy more targeted, safer --only in five or six centers in the U.S.
Persons prescribed radiation therapy need to know the difference between photon and proton. The proton radiation does not burn you all the way in and beyond the target. If possible refuse the traditional radiation and choose the other. Its been around for about 30 years, though some insuraqnces claim

Local ablative radiotherapy: A means to revert low volume castration-resistant prostate cancer into a hormone-sensitive status?
Sounds promising. These patients had a PSADT of 3.2 months before RT. After RT, it took 15.6 months for the PSA to increase from nadir to nadir+2. Looking forward to the prospective study. ---------- https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.2018.36.6_suppl.188 --------- Conclusions: A relevant subset
