Radiotherapy - are there any disadvantages?
Doctor says he wants to do
radiotherapy
to eliminate the last stubborn active cancer cells in my prostate. But is this the best option? Will I suffer any problems after
radiotherapy
? Will it affect any future treatments?

Gentle steps to next HM
I had the lump removed on 13th March,
radiotherapy
the last week of April gave it a few weeks to work through my system. Finally, on 22nd May I put on the running gear and followed the C25K week 4 run following advice from the medical team of starting with walk/run.

Nanoparticle urine test diagnoses cancer and pinpoints its location
For those who have received radiation treatment. This is a way to keep an eye on secondary cancer. Does anyone know generally how long it takes to start generating secondary cancer?

Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment
Gadolinium vs Iodine for Radiation Treatment A long-standing problem with cancer radiation therapy is that it is not effective at the center of tumors where oxygen levels are low due to the lack of blood vessels penetrating deeply into the tissue. X-ray irradiation needs oxygen to generate DNA-damaging

‘100,000 parameters’: WVU researcher leads effort to reduce data-transfer error in radiation therapy.
Just as helicopter traffic reporters use their "bird's eye view" to route drivers around roadblocks safely, radiation oncologists treating a variety of cancers can use new guidelines developed by a West Virginia University researcher to reduce mistakes in data transfer and more safely treat their patients

Dilemma Stick or Twist?
He believes that they might end up only being able to give me 40 gray rather than 47 gray once they have done the
radiotherapy
planning which would reduce the chance of cure. Standard treatment would be 47 gray in 20 fractions.

Cannot take antioxidants during radiotherapy
I will be starting a treatment consisting of 38
radiotherapy
sessions in about a week from now. As part of that treatment I must stop taking any antioxidant one week before the treatments begin until two weeks after the treatments have ended.

Implications of PSMA PET Imaging for Prostate Cancer Presentation & Discussion - Oliver Sartor, and FDA approves F18 DCFPyl
As Sartor stated about the ORIOLE trial-- "In conclusion SABR, stereotactic body
radiotherapy

Understanding the Abscopal Effect and its Potential Role in Developing a Cure for Cancer-Part 1
Greetings FPC members, One of the more intensely studied phenomenon in cancer research has been the abscopal effect. As a true believer in SBRT and the abscopal effect, I have faced posters questioning the existence and benefits of the effect via SBRT in treating PCa. But what is the abscopal effect

Cramps! :(
I understand that crampy pain is quite common with IBS, and PRD is essentially
radiotherapy
-induced IBS, but it's never been this bad.

Has anyone experienced severe stomach cramps while taking Faslodex injections?
I recently started Faslodex treatment, about 5 days later these horrible pains started in my upper abdomen. I just wondered if this is due to injections or my Y 90 radiation treatment I had on May 26. Has anyone had these treatments together ? I would love any suggestions. Please share your advise or

Sensitive to radiation
I began my
radiotherapy
(prostate plus lower abdomen lymph nodes) on Tuesday. 5 hours after the treatment I became nauseous so the following day they gave me pills that help with that.

Mets to T-9
I underwent
Radiotherapy

Is Bicalutamide the right treatment and when is a PET Scan required
I am a 64-year-old retired Army man living at Delhi in India diagnosed purely by chance…was taking meds for Rheumatoid Arthritis and the doc suggested getting an ultra sound to see if my liver was okay. It was but also showed a mildly enlarged prostate, so got a PSA test for the first time
