Decision making of a patient with stage 4 glioblastoma
I want to know if a person with a stage 4 glioblastoma who has had radiation therapy is capable of deciding if family members can be updated on his condition? What info can a doctor share with the personal representative if the patient objects?

Palliative radiation
As far as treatment is concerned,the doctor has recommended pelvic
radiotherapy
for bone pain followed by enzalutamide /docetaxel. Does the radiation have any serious side effect? What about the elevated temperature? Need suggestions. Thanks

First RT session
No issues at all with first
radiotherapy
therapy treatment of 6 gy this morning. Long may it last!! I will now double down on exercise and consumption of supplements in the expectation that weakened cancer cells are less able to resist any benefits they may offer.

NCCN re-revises low-risk guidelines
This is probably a tempest in a teapot. NCCN, one of the top organizations that establishes the standard-of-care in the US, has once again changed its low-risk guidelines. It caused a bit of a storm earlier this year when they removed the word "[i]preferred[/i]" after "active surveillance" for low-risk

My health history includes several late effects from
radiotherapy
to head and neck, previous hyperparathyroidism, and ME. I was meant to have annual blood test to include thyroid function, but these have slipped.

What are your thoughts / experiences regarding SBRT versus using standard of care / palliative
radiotherapy
in mCRPC ? My radiation oncologist is saying that the SBRT could be curative while the other would be palliative.

Constipation cycle
I guess this is because of narrowing of part of the bowel by
radiotherapy
although it is just classed as PRD. Dietary changes don’t seem to have any effect and I have tried stool softeners with not much success.

Questioning modern cancer treatment.
Hello, I have kept my cancer treatment to a personal basis sharing it only with some family and friends. Almost 7 years ago, I was diagnosed with Stage 4, Prostate Cancer and a Gleason Score 9, positive margin. As most, I went through prostate biopsies, the radical robotic proctectomy, radiation treatment

Muscle Loss During Androgen Deprivation Therapy Is Associated With Higher Risk of Non-Cancer Mortality in High-Risk Prostate Cancer
We measured the skeletal muscle index (SMI) and total adipose tissue index (TATI) at the L3 vertebral level using computed tomography at baseline and within one year after initiating ADT in 125 patients with high-risk prostate cancer treated with
radiotherapy
and ADT between 2008 and 2018.
