Hi I am new here, and want to join the team!
I have completed 13
radiotherapy
sessions and 4 out of a planned 35 immunotherapy visits. We live in North Staffordshire having moved here in January from Cambridgeshire which has also contributed to my feeling isolated, this definitely wasn’t part of our plans this time last year.

Pet Scan results are in.
They also found a large area of inflammation in my right lung, a possible side effect from the
Radiotherapy
. So I am now on a high dose of Prednisolone yet again ( weight gain and chipmunk face 🙄. ) X-ray next week to see how things are and progress from there.

Advised to have 3 more chemo cycles to reduce more before starting

Radiotherapy
starts. Comments please

Possible uptake after pet/scan but PSA is still 0.01?.
Hi Folks, I had a petscan in late August and 2 weeks later one of the Oncology team rang to say they were not sure but it looks like there maybe some uptake in the L2 where I had high dose
radiotherapy
last year & now have a spinal fracture of L2. Plus also possibly a spot in the Hip.

Docetaxel/Taxotere stopped after 1st Infusion & Radiation
After chemo went radiation therapy within few days to treat tumor in spine shown MRI. The PSA went from 24 prior to chemo to 33 after 3 weeks after chemo. Fatigue was off charts and neuropathy/ numbness in feet / legs became worse after chemo/ radiation. Considering Xofigo infusions to treat tumors

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?

Husband diagnosed with Glioblastoma just before retirement!
He has had surgery,
Radiotherapy
and Chemotherapy . He is about to start the 6 month course of Chemotherapy in a couple of weeks. Our daughter lives in NZ and has been very upset about her dad. I have read through the comments made and they have been very encouraging. It is a hard journey!
