Enzalutamide (Xtandi): Start at half standard dose to extend efficacy time span?
Since January 2018 I have been on ADT, had docetaxel chemo in April 2018,
radiotherapy
to the prostate, seminal vessel and pelvis in November 2018 when PSA dropped to <0.1. PSMA PET CT scan in March 2019 showed metastasis on spine and hip joint which were treated with SBRT.

Starting again after cancer....
Now it's almost August, and I have completed my treatments of Chemo and
Radiotherapy
. I am down to 12 stone from 14+. I am also still weak as a kitten, suffering from fatigue and only just starting to eat solid foods again. (Almost up to 1200 calories a day!)

7: I had 2 sessions of palliative
radiotherapy

radiotherapy
can be given. True, or not true? Sorry to be a pain and keep harping on, and I am NOT chasing compo.

lupus and cancer
I’ve recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and won’t be able to have
radiotherapy
or chemotherapy due to the lupus. Has anyone else found themselves in this situation and how was it dealt with? I’m having surgery on 2nd of August so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Extra Mammary Paget's Disease.
Due to Ulcerative Colitis, unable to have
radiotherapy
, so now it's incurable. In March 2023, diagnosed with this new cancer. The frequent leaking was assumed to be the cause of the rash around the scrotum. Please be aware of this rash which is often mistaken for eczema and often is missed.

I’ve had
radiotherapy
at the start of this year for prostate cancer. Although the outcome seems to be satisfactory regarding the cancer in the last 3 months I have been suffering from pain and numbness in my feet and left hand and I also have restless legs syndrome.

No scan offered!
I'm treatable but not curable.I had
radiotherapy
in January to reduce a recurrence and my Ca125 went down to 21. It's now 48 ash's I'm told I can't have a scan until I have symptoms which strikes me as odd. I was having 3 monthly scans and was expecting one next month.

Radiotherapy
Next week I go for
radiotherapy
for a lumpectomy. I have 5 days of it, being fair skinned I am worried about the 'sunburn' effect that it will probably have on me, as I stay out of the sun due to burning. Not to mention, the feeling sick! Any suggestions please?

? If so can I do anything about it and what pain medication can I take that doesn’t dope me out.

cost of Gold Fiducial Markers
I had three markers put into my prostate to assist targeting the Xray for
. Whereas my Medicare advantage plan Humana paid for the procedure, the office nurse said I need to pay $75 for the markers as it is not covered. Is this true??? I have found no evidence for this.

Could long term sleeping on the right hand side of the body affect the working of the liver on the same side?
Have been through various 'diets' for diabetes 2 aftereffects of prostate cancer
radiotherapy
and hormone injections did not help although cholesterol considerably reduced blood sugar 88, lowest weight in ten years!🤔

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of
radiotherapy
accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment.
