PLEASE HELP ... REALLY NEED YOUR INPUT ... THANKS !
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.

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.

Does anybody else suffer with constant UTIs despite being on antibiotics
I also have bowel issues and recall my
Radiotherapy
consultant saying that the wall between my bladder and Bowel would become very thin and I might need a graft but current consultants don’t seem to agree

For Those Interested....what a journey. My new Prostate cancer that has gone into my brain's lining....and also my brain...Stone Crabs
WELL...(deep subject) everyone wants to know what happened with my new Radiation Oncologist who is a BRAIN specialist. We celebrated with late lunch at Catfish Deweys...lf a bunch of stone crabs for me...and baby back ribs for Richard. The doctor gave me some incredibly bad news. He showed me the MRI

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.

Timing of Radiation treatment after starting ADT
From the few studies I have seen the sweet spot ( for maximum shrinkage of the prostate) seems to be 12 to 24 weeks after starting on ADT ( I am on Lupron and Zytiga). I want to hit the cancer with radiation when it is at it's weakest. Is there and reason to wait longer or conversely any reason to wait

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.

A large injection of hope required. Please.
I then had five consecutive
radiotherapy
sessions which reduced the size of the main tumour but didn't get rid of it. This was followed by carboplatin chemotherapy and immunotherapy with the chemo only for the first 4 sessions.

Treating recurrence with Doxil: Side Effects?
I am three years from the end of carboplatin and Taxol chemotherapy for my Stage 3 ovarian cancer. Prior to chemo I had a complete hysterectomy, omentectomy, appendectomy, and transverse colon resection. I now have a recurrence, with a tumor near the sigmoid colon and rectum. There is no surgery or radiation

New PRD
I suggested it may have been some sort of blood clot due to
radiotherapy
damage as my bladder also sometimes bleeds, however he did not agree, but why else would it have disappeared. He plans to do a sigmoidoscopy just to check. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem.

An outcome I was told wasn't possible ..
When I completed my
Radiotherapy
I asked my NHS oncologist if I could have a scan to assess the results, he refused explaining that I would only be eligible for a scan "When" my condition deteriorated.

Rising PSA after prosectomy
Hey guys want your thoughts. I had a prosectomy in March of 2020, which is approximately 18 months ago. All went well with minimal side affects. However, now my psa has been rising slowly, which in most instances indicates not all of the cancer was removed during the prosectomy. My PSA .2.

Sad upsetting post (new member)
We were told we had to wait to hear what his consultant wanted to do, biopsy or operation or
radiotherapy
. So we waited a week and dad had awful care with his diabetic insulin jabs, he was still able to walk with help and could eat solid food.
