New on here
Her scan shortly after finishing
radiotherapy
showed a reduction in the tumour by 22mm (almost half). The doctor said that it's excellent news. The doctors also seem so surprised that my mum looks so well for her age and is in such good shape (she turns 71 on Sunday). My mum is doing really well.

A biochemical definition of cure after brachytherapy for prostate cancer - Radiotherapy and Oncology, Published: April 27, 2020
Looks like 4 years of <0.2 PSA post-treatment gets you a "biochemical cure". (= disease-free beyond 10 years.)
[i]Study Highlights[/i] [i]• Close to 80% of men 4–5 years after LDR prostate brachytherapy will achieve a PSA of 0.2 ng/ml or less.[/i] [i]• PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/ml is associated with 97–99%

Has anyone changed from letrozole & ibrance to tamoxifen after progression of tumors?
Oncologist has suggested
radiotherapy
for the new tumor (she had 2 days ago and so far so good) and a change of meds to tamoxifen (she had after first treatment for breast cancer 11yrs ago!) just wondering if tamoxifen will help slow the tumors? Has anyone has this experience?

Spots on brain discovery
So this is very rare apparently and I'm now on a ten day
radiotherapy
treatment cycle over the next two weeks. I feel ok, sleepy and a little sickly but nothing too bad.

Anyone with SSC and breast cancer?
Im having a lumpectomy and intensive
radiotherapy
next week- possibly chemo aswell if there are any cells found in my lymph nodes. I know SSC has an increased cancer risk- with breast cancer the most common. Has anyone on here gone through this? How did it affect your Scleroderma ?

In need of advise for my father
He immediately had bi-lateral orchiectomy, and thereafter when the PSA began to rise, he was prescribed Xtandi (lasted ~6 months) and subsequently had some
radiotherapy
to the pelvis and spine (pain management). The pain returned and the MO suggested Docetaxel.
