I'm 75 years old and during a colonoscopy today, my doctor found 10 precancerous plops and one, malignant-looking mass at the end of colon.
He is confident that it is cancer but doesn't know what stage. He has referred me to a good surgeon, whose office will call me next week to set up an appointment. Meanwhile, he gave me a referral for a "CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis with PO & IV Contrast." He wants to see if the cancer has spread

2Nd Biopsy in 3+ years of Bone Met
Greetings All, A question about biopsies: Upon PC-stage 4 diagnosis per discovery of pc lesions causing spinal compression in 2020, my husband had a biopsy taken during his back surgery-which showed his already metastatic pc not to be an inherited condition. He went on to radiation of the spinal

PSA and Eligard and bicalutamide
My PSA keep rising. Today, PSA went up to 1.1 (Today-03/13/24) from 0.37 (January). Doctor told me to take another Eljgard injection next week. This is the 2nd time. Doctor asked me to stop taking bicalutamide and dutasteride, as they appear not to be effective any longer. He said I solely rely

Hormonal therapy ?
Hi, I was diagnosed with extended DCIS with ER+, PR+.I had a total mastectomy with a diep flap 2 weeks ago, My surgeon referred me to medical oncology for hormonal therapy. I am curious do I still need hormonal therapy as I already had a mastectomy, as far as cancer recurrence and preventing cancer

I'm just starting out on immunotherapy and would like to share experiences with others on the same drug. - Pembrolizumab. I'm due my 2nd treatment tomorrow. For someone who avoids taking anything stronger than paracetamol, it's all a bit scary. I haven't met anyone with lung cancer yet, and other

My mom just got diagnosed with CLL at 59 - we have questions - thank you for all the support on my previous post!
1. We live in Southern California - does anyone know a great specialist near by? 2. Her ABSOLUTE LYMPHOCYTES are 9533 - does anyone have similar numbers but they have increased 24% from a month ago when they were at 7732?? Is this alarming? 3. Her IGHV test came back at 6.87% - what does that mean?

post-op incisions
Hi everyone, I had surgery (ovarian cystectomy & excision of endometriosis) on 18/02/24 One of my wounds seems to be open. I feel ‘fobbed off’ by doctors who state it will close on its own. Did anyone else’s incisions look like this? Did they heal okay? Also, my belly button scab has now fallen

At what point for scan ?
Hi. Currently just had # 4 chemo. Live in Canada so PSMA has never been done . Bone scan and CT scan. I'm wondering at what point it would be good to get a scan ( they already said it would probably be a CT scan as that's all we have in my province and eventually another bone scan which He has to fly

Similar question to Ezzedine. PSA rising
March 19 I was diagnosed with Gleason 9 prostate cancer. PSA was 0.9 (it turns out I have a non secreting prostate. I had 37 sessions of EBRT and 3 years zoladex. Whilst under ADT and for 1 year after ADT conclusion my PSA was 0.01 (indecipherable) Then a year ago my PSA was 0.02, then 0.03 and last

Spotting - ovarian cancer
I have stage IIIb ovarian clear cell, and I had my first chemo infusion 10 days ago. I've just started to feel a little better after all the side effects. A worrisome new symptom has come up today (Sunday), which was a little spotting when I went pee. I had a total hysterectomy in September, and I can't

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. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science
