An update on Veyonda from The Australian
Accordingly the drug produced needed to be used in combination with conventional cancer treatments, including drugs and
radiotherapy
. No-one else was researching in this area.

Time from finishing cycles until scans?
I was just wondering what the typical sort of time is between finishing chemo cycles and
radiotherapy
before having scans etc to see how much they’ve worked?

Positive Progress
Point 2: My experience of
radiotherapy
and chemotherapy wasn't that bad, My view is that if you are fit and healthy going in, you'll probably be ok. Point 3: Look into an integrated therapy approach.

Blood test finds 50 types of cancer is accurate enough to be rolled out
For anyone who has been treated with radiation therapy, this could be handy to keep an eye on potential secondary cancers. A simple blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer before any clinical signs or symptoms of the disease emerge in a person is accurate enough to be rolled out

Flomax Issue!
I was treated for aggressive Prostate Cancer in 2012 with ADT followed by two months of Radiation Treatment. (Gleas 9 and PSA 6) My recent PSA Test Result was 0.15. (6/21)I have been most fortunate to this point. A constant problem I have is Extreme Dry Mouth. I know Flomax can be a cause of this condition

Salvage Cryoablation
So..my UroOnc wants to pursue cryoablation after my failed
radiotherapy
(EBRT/LDR Brachytherapy ). I don't know yet if I can have focal only cryo or have to have whole prostate ablation. I know the ED outcome is bad, but has anyone else had this treatment and how are you doing afterward?

Can radiation cause kidney pain?
Started getting a sharp pain in my kidney and/or lower back a few hours after my radiation therapy today. Don't know if it is related to the therapy or not and I didn't find anything about this online but since we have pros here, I figured I'd ask the question here.

Noisy valve
Looking for tips In January I had emergency surgery to replace my aortic valve (at last) I also had a double bypass and my mitral valve was scrapped all due to
radiotherapy
nearly thirty years ago. It was touch and go for quite a while but after 8 weeks I was allowed home.

Adjuvant Radiation Therapy After Radical Prostatectomy Decreases All-Cause Mortality
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE In this study of 26,118 men with adverse pathology, the authors investigated the impact of adjuvant versus early salvage radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy. After a median of 8.16 years of follow-up, 8.06% of men had died, including 25.62% from prostate cancer. Adjuvant

Lupus and cancer
Opted for mastectomy to try and avoid having to have Chemo or
Radiotherapy
. He agreed it was better to avoid them if at all possible. Hopefully nothing shows up in Lymph nodes!

6 Months Post Treatment Report
8 months post treatment at present. Had six month review with RO. Decided on SBRT due to surgical, erectile and urinary issues with RP. Prior abdominal surgery means DiVinci machine could not be used, and few doctors do a lot of open procedures. Used SBRT on a MRL machine (MRI guided radiation treatment

Bone scans can lie!
I had 3 bone scans in the last 18-months, the last one in May 2021, all negative. Then I had a PSMA scan on 2nd June, due to my rising PSMA, which went from < 0.1 when I stopped ADT to 3.2. It showed - "Bones: There are three or less osseous metastases (Oligo). -1.3 x 0.8 cm lesion with central lucency
