Happy Holidays - And staying positive
My father is 87. He has had advanced prostate cancer for 15 years. He did many treatments and then stopped because the cancer spread anyways. Now, he's doing a new treatment and is VERY positive that it will slow the spread. He is going to Florida with my mom for 3 months (he'll fly back to do

Advice after diagnosis due to Chemo
Hi I have just finished 8 cycles of chemo and 15 rounds of
radiotherapy
for breast cancer and all is good. However my recent heart scan compared to the one I had before treatment and one half way through shows that my heart has dropped a little.

Diverticular management
Back in 2020 a colonoscopy discovered a diverticular (a kind of pouch in the wall of my large intestine) during the diagnostic phase before I started chemo-
radiotherapy
for anal cancer. It’s been grumbling along since then, giving me occasional left sided discomfort.

Immunotherapy
hi everyone I’ve been advised that I can start immunotherapy within 41 days of my 6 week chemo / radiation treatment ending which means mid January … I’m very apprehensive about immunotherapy as I’ve only heard mainly bad stories I guess ….. can anyone offer any positivity about it at all ? Re side effects

Pubic/Pelvic area swelling
Hi, I have post-endometrial-cancer Lymphodema in my right leg and pubic/pelvic areas. I can just about manage the leg with compression garments, self massage, exercise and diet, but the lower belly area underneath where I had radio therapy seems impossible to manage. Nothing I do seems to help it. I

ER+ HER2- MBC treatments
If on next pet uptake (SUVmax) increases, then
radiotherapy
on the tumors, but stay on same treatment. I'm puzzled because this doesn't seem to be the way most of you are treated. Thanks for your comments Lovexxx Lucie

radiotherapy
or surgery which he mentioned robotic, and that was it, and then told we would be having blood test in 12 weeks . Any advice

acoustic neuroma 1.9cm
Either
radiotherapy
or surgery. Really scared of the surgery due to the risks. And the risks of radiation from
radiotherapy
. How did you guys decide what option was right for you?

Considering options regarding salvage radiation.
"I had robotic radical prostatectomy in April 2019 with Gleason Score of 4+3, clear margins, and unilateral nerve sparing, (one seminal vesicle implicated). Since surgery I now have no problems with incontinence, and using Trimix injection (12 units) has work well for the ED. 18 months post-operation

Thyroid cancer after radiation therapy
But now I found out that people who underwent
radiotherapy
of the head before the age of 5 are particularly vulnerable to thyroid cancer and... it upset me a lot.
