Update on Lumpy and treatment
hi all! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I am relishing it. The house is empty, I have coffee and my kitty by my side and I'm not budging until I have to. I am half way thru a radiation treatment on my inguinal node!! The node has shrunk to where I'm barely able to feel it now. I have no side effects

Lump
Hi had lumpectomy followed by 5 days of
radiotherapy
because I am at high risk from covid 19 to spend as little time out as possible higher doses of
radiotherapy
was given so basically 15 day treatment in 5.

In men receiving early SRT (PSA ≤ 0.6 ng/mL), long-term antiandrogen treatment was not associated with improved overall survival. https://ascopost.com/news/april-2020/pre-salvage-

Meeting with a radiation oncologist for the first time this Thursday.
UCLA requires that the "Treating radiation oncologist intends to incorporate 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT findings into the
radiotherapy
plan." Have you done this before? Are you capable of doing it? 2. My primary focus at this point is the potential for a cure. What treatments best fit this focus?

Cavitating lesion
Unfortunately surgery has been ruled out, as have chemo and
radiotherapy
- I am waiting results of tests to determine if I am suitable for immunotherapy. Not sure what this thing is, nor what to expect down the line so thought I'd ask here.

Possible longer-term effects of pelvic radiotherapy
I completed 7 weeks of daily RT last year as the final step in my therapy for prostate cancer. I am still experiencing some minor to moderate effects on my bowels and have been told that I can expect some improvement over the next 12 months. I am keen to discover what others have found to be helpful

Chose SBRT over brachytherapy, but is long term survival the same?
I have pretty much decided to do SBRT. I had SpaceOAR last week and I have the pre-radiation appointment this Tuesday. Then approximately two weeks later radiation starts. I am second guessing myself now as my brother also has Prostate Cancer, and his doctors telling him that Brachytherapy (In his case

Brighton 10km race cancelled 😔
No surprise really, but I’m gutted as I was on track with my training and really looking forward to it. They are offering a virtual run where you can still get a medal and t shirt or defer to 2021. What with Parkrun no longer happening it’s hard to stay motivated. Sooooo. I’ve decided to run the virtual

VMAT Radiation Treatment side effects
Last week I completed 20 VMAT sessions with little to no side effects or discomfort. However this week, fatigue is setting in as well as frequent loose bowel movements. I still have my Prostate and it is pretty sore as well. I was warned frequency was likely to occur, so I'm not surprised. I know everyone

Full body rash after treatments - related?
Hi all. My father was diagnosed with PCa at stage IIC in March, 2020. His treatments have included brachytherapy, ADT, and about 30 radiation treatments. He finished the radiation therapy in early August and is still on ADT. After he completed radiation, he broke out all over his body in a bumpy, itchy
