Hospice
Sharing that my daughter and I are meeting with hospice for in home hospice care this afternoon. I was going to wait for one more CT scan and oncologist visit, but this past weekend I spent the whole weekend in bed and had so much weakness and breathing problems that I can't put it off any longer.

Next steps after PBRT
Hi all - First and foremost, Happy Holidays. I had my prostate removed 8/22, with subsequent Proton Beam treatment ending 4/23 (after PSA did not drop to undetectable) brought upon after a mild uptake (during a Petscan) in an obturator lymph node. I’m on Orgovyx and Xtandi, with a plan to stay on them

Recurrence?im scared
I don't know where to start because I'm scared to death. I already made a post about my situation but I need to talk more about it with people who understand my situation. My mother, my beloved mother... my reason for living. In 2020 she underwent surgery for stage one seromucinous adenocarcinoma

Androgen Receptor Activity (ARA) for BAT
I read somewhere (here?) that ARA is a good predictor of BAT efficacy and that Johns Hopkins has a test for it. I have been trying to track down such a test, at Johns Hopkins or elsewhere, with no success. Any suggestions? Androgen receptor activity in prostate cancer dictates efficacy of bipolar

Is nmCRPC potentially curable?
I would appreciate any input on this. I searched the internet and found this article from Fred Saad: Treatment of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: focus on second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-020-00310-3 I couldn't find anything

another step in the right direction: AI Tool Precisely Matches Cancer Drugs to Patients
"In a proof-of-concept study, researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH, Bethesda, MD, US) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that leverages data from individual tumor cells to predict how well a person's cancer might respond to a specific drug." https://www.labmedica.com

Rising T Bili on Xeloda
Hi ladies!! my mom has been on xeloda and her T bili continues to go up last few weeks. Her last scans showed shrinking lesions on liver. Her Tumor Markers went up 28 points this month. Her scan is bumped up to next week . She s checking for blockage that would require a stent in the liver I guess

colonoscopy and endoscopy concerns
I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy and endoscopy in 1 week. My last colonoscopy was 8 years ago and the two colonoscopies before that found nothing but hemorrhoids ( all colonoscopies were pre CLL diagnosis in Oct of 2017). I have never had an endoscopy but I do have a cough that seems to start after
