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!

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

NCCN re-revises 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

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.
