Ambiguous sclerotic spine lesion post radiation/ Taking HDT.
Has anyone after proton beam radiation treatment and on hormone deprivation therapy gotten ambiguous sclerotic lesion(s)on the spine? If so, what recommendations did the Dr's give you. My friend has a new sclerotic lesion on the T2 and the diagnosis was left uncertain. Follow up in 3 months with another

Help with wind, please
I (like most of us on here) have a lot of scar tissue/adhesions caused by
radiotherapy
and operations. I get a lot of trapped wind because my gut can’t expand or retract like it use to, hence the wind gurgling and rumbling around like a moody and grumpy volcano.

Exceptions to "early salvage" radiation treatment for recurrence after prostatectomy
Sometimes, it is unsafe to wait for a biochemical recurrence; sometimes, it is safe to put it off. https://www.prostatecancer.news/2021/10/exceptions-to-early-salvage-radiation.html

Some questions answered, some answers questioned, and Chemotherapy scheduled.
Medical Oncologist-- "you have been on therapy-
radiotherapy
then dexamethasone which is a hormonal therapy and clinically you have done well. No protocol would allow you to enter since you had no signs of progression. That is great!

HDR Brachytherapy UCSF
So it's finally happening. Tues and Wed 10/19 & 10/20 After endless delays, Jim finally gets his radiation treatment. Such a relief that it will be Dr Peter Carroll doing the surgical portion. Anxiety is high, but that helps a lot. Also Jim's latest PSA went to ultrasensitive test and is 0.04 Thanks

PSA after salvage radiation
Hi My husband has prostate cancer. I think we are in a good, wait and see place, but wanted to get your opinions. My husband had a RP in November of 2018. He never went to undetectable. So in the spring of 2019 he had ADT and salvage radiation treatment. For the last almost two years he was undetectable

Testing Pituitary Function - Any Advice Please?
Recently researching why this might be, (yet another GP concerned about my 0.1 TSH wants me to contact private endo to lower Armour, while my T4 is currently an abysmal 11 in a range of 9-22 , and I'm feeling very low and cold) I've read that the iodine

Advice and experience would be very much appreciated
I have been told it would be best to do surgery to remove the thyroid or
radiotherapy
but am very unsure of which one to go for if any. I was told I would not be able to be around my children for 3 weeks after
radiotherapy
- which made me concerned if its unsafe for them then what is it for me?

Genetic Test prior to Radiation
Is a genetic test predictive of susceptibility to radiation therapy toxicity something that is recommended prior to starting ones therapy (SBRT)? What is this test anyway so I can ask my RO beforehand if indeed useful. Thanks.
