No more enzalutamide: docetaxel next up
Also got a new lesion in my thoracic spine so in addition to docetaxel, a single dose of
radiotherapy
. Hope that will all be underway within a couple of weeks. Some fear for a while about the meds not working and progression but feeling more confident about the treatment plan now thankfully.

New Mets, PSA 0.4
He had a scan and one spot detected on his rib so he was recommended to try
radiotherapy
! Please let me know your thoughts, what do you think it’s happening to my dad based on you experience, is his cancer morphing to small cell? Is it becoming Castration-resistant prostate cancer?

Side effects back 6months after treatment.
I was given a choice of treatments and I opted (rightly or wrongly) for external beam
radiotherapy
as it seemed to be the least invasive procedure.

Chemotherapy
Followed by 6 Fec-T Chemotherapy Sessions and 15
Radiotherapy
Sessions. Whilst the chemotherapy is a dreadful treatment to have to endure and can have lasting permanent effects (I have neuropathy in my legs and feet and my hair has returned thinner).

Does anyone have experience of Radical Prostatectomy surgery or External Beam Therapy (with hormone therapy)?
Now I have been diagnosed with localised T2 Prostate Cancer and the two courses of treatment are a Radical Prostatectomy or External Beam
radiotherapy
(with hormone treatment). Research time….

Wondering if anyone can relate to these symptoms
I had
radiotherapy
and was prescribed hormone therapy tablets. My PSA levels have fallen and my progress seems ok. Re. EPI - my haemoglobin and red blood cell count has slowly, slowly dropped over past few years until slightly below lowest ref level but GP said not low enough for concern.

Bad flareup :(
I usually have the opposite problem, but if my bowel has narrowed, or there are adhesions from the
radiotherapy
damage, I suppose this can happen; especially as I have to live on Loperamide in order to eat. :/ Perhaps this time, it just worked too well. I just don't want that to happen ever again!

Body jerking/spasms
Since finishing
radiotherapy
in August for lung cancer, I have these uncontrollable body jerking throughout the night, arms, legs, head etc. Also, twice now, I've fallen to the floor jerking on and off for nearly 30 minutes. I'm conscious, can hear things, but cannot stop the body movements.

Does this sound like Lymphoedema?
I was treated for triple negative breast cancer in 2019 and had a horrible time with chemo, a lumpectomy with SLNB, a second op to clear the rest of the lymph nodes, and finished with 4 weeks of
radiotherapy
ending in Jan '20.

Recently diagnosed and trying to work out what to do! All advice gratefully received.
He dismissed all therapies other than surgery and
radiotherapy
. When I said that I was concerned with side-effects he asked if I were to prefer to be able to get an erection or to be dead. Not a very nice consultation and left me feeling low.

Health Update
A lumpectomy and
radiotherapy
. I also saw my heart surgeon today who says he is happy with my progress , considering the team thought my brain wouldn't survive the CABG. I have plenty to be positive about..! Naturally I'm upset but I'll rise to this new challenge! 💪💪💪💪💜💜💜💜

immunotherapy damaging kidneys
We are awaiting a scan appointment & they may then discuss
radiotherapy
, wondered if anyone has had a similar experience? As my Mum is 80 I know she would not take chemo, but wondered what the side affects may be like if she is offered
radiotherapy
? Love to hear from you!

RT with ADT Relogolix (Orgovyx) vs Enzalutamide (Xtandi) Side Effect Differences?
There may not be a lot of people that can offer anecdotal reports on both as monotherapies but the reason I ask is some studies in the last 3 years are showing administration of Xtandi during
Radiotherapy
has shown outcomes as good as if not better than RT + ADT.

Treatment Recommendation for father with advanced PCA to regional lymph nodes
Radiotherapy
will not begin until September/October - 20 treatments EBRT daily for 4 weeks. He has suggested he will hit the prostate and all the nodes up the pelvis and into the lower abdomen with a little beyond that as well. We will be meeting with him again and the MO shortly.
