radiation proctitis
I am almost 3 years out from radiation therapy and I’m still suffering from symptoms of radiation proctitis. I did have it confirmed by colonoscopy about a year and a half ago, at that time the gastroenterologist told me he thought it would resolve eventually but it persists. Have any of you had G.I

My PSA seems to be definitely on the move, latest is 0.11 up from 0.085 taken 3 months ago, full history is in my profile. I am sure SRT is now on the cards. There seems to be much to consider about dose (64-70Gy), target area (prostate bed with or without lymph nodes) and short term ADT, which is summarised

Most cases of xerostomia are due to local factors such as multiple medications (polypharmacy),
radiotherapy
for treatment of head and neck malignancies, and lifestyle factors, such as alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine consumption. Dehydration can also cause xerostomia.

As there had only been one lesion seen on lower left lung I was offered
radiotherapy
. After last scan which showed another lesion adjacent to the first, I am told that '
radiotherapy
is off the table'. At present awaiting conclusions of MDT.

28 day versus 3 monthly Zoladex side effect -
I know it’s a bit unusual to have the monthly ones for long but it just happened with me as they weren’t sure if I could cope with the standard 18-24 months ADT due to my other conditions but seems I am probably able to - so going for it, given my G9 high risk and
radiotherapy
course.

rux plus epo: any info as to effects on skin cancers?
and as I had sarcomatoid sccs triggered by the rux (excised,
radiotherapy
) I’m reluctant to take any meds that might make them worse. I’ve seen something somewhere ( can’t recall where- brain fog) that suggests EPO nit a good idea with solid tumours.

Advice on bloodwork after radiation treatment?
Hello all, I have been coming back to this forum since finding it a few weeks back, and am looking for some advice and thoughts on my father's case.

Prior to

ADT was ceasing to be effective and my PSA had risen to 6.75. Since 2020 my PSA has been slowly rising to its present level of 1.14. I am getting some intermittent pain from the site of the met on my rib (the other was on vertebra T10).
