Abiraterone edema management
One of the fun things I am getting as an SE while on lupron/abiraterone/prednisone is fluid retention. Edema and getting up to pee 3-4 times nightly (losing 3-4 lbs of weight during the night.) What if anything can be done about this?

Has anyone been taking Verzenio for more than 2 years?
I was diagnosed with ILC stage 3, HER2 negative, ER positive, PR positive in November 2020. I had a mastectomy, chemo and radiatin and my scans showed no further evidence of cancer. I have been on anastrazole and in May 2021 I was started on Verzenio. They said it is only approved to be used for 2

Enzalutamide + Lupron
There was a new study released last week to show Enzalutamide + Lupron for high risk patients after RP or Radiation. I had RP 3/22 and PSA rising to .14 by 8/22 when I started Orgovyx and then later Zytiga. I've been having neuropathy side effects from Zytiga and interested if this might be better.

Need Help Interpreting My PSMA/PET SCAN
About a month ago I posted the results of my Prostate MRI and got some very good advice through this forum. The Prostate MRI report recommended that I get a PSMA PET/CT. I had the Pet Scan done at City of Hope and received the results today. The ONCOLOGIC AND POTENTIALLY ONCOLOGIC FINDINGS are as follows

Hi! I'm new and excited to meet others and learn about your journey
Good afternoon. I'm new to the group. I already posted an item, but thought I should introduce myself. I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in 2010. Had a mastectomy. Went on tamoxifen for 2 years, then quit because it made me feel miserable. No chemo. In 2022, I was once again diagnosed

Docs who prescribe mebendazole and metformin
HI! I am currently taking letrozole for metastatic breast cancer. I am also doing the COC protocol, but only with mebendazole and metformin. Just curious, are any of you getting mebendazole or metformin from any other docs than COC? Thanks! Sue

It's all about delivery (not PC related but worth reading): Car T cell therapy used for brain tumors
“This suggests to us that there is important interaction between CAR-T cell therapy and the host immune system,” Brown said. Future changes to CAR-T cell therapies could be designed to further optimize the treatment, Badie added. “We could deliver agents into the tumor microenvironment to engage the

Diagnosed in November 2022. Favorable intermediate with Gleason 6 & Gleason 7 (3+4), with 4 less than 5%, and low Decipher score. On AS. 13 months later, one year MRI showed “concerning” images, with irregular capsule (visible), and extra capsular extension probable (interpretation from radiologist).

Surgery was hugely succesful, thank the Lord! 😇🙏
Going into surgery with stage 4 clear cell cancer a week ago, I was advised they will take out all cancer they can see & will have a better understanding of spreading & the way forward.Woke up to better than that! They got it all out, easily & cleanly, full radical hysterectomy and appendix. Signs they

Age and timing for Triplet therapy?
I am age 81, active and neither fit nor frail, radiated in 2021 without hormone therapy. Radiated again in 2023 for a pelvic node. In December the PSA rose to 3.78 and a PSMA-PET scan showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, and spread to one abdominal node. I started ADT with

Dad diagnosed with prostate cancer. what do I do? hindsight is 20/20 and it wasn’t my battle to fight.
For those of you who are newly diagnosed or have been diagnosed for a while or caregivers of those who are newly diagnosed or been diagnosed for a while and overwhelmed and confused and you need a care team but maybe lack the resources or support . go to your nearest hospital that also has a radiology

Ablation
Hi All, I am wondering if anyone has gone the ablation route with non small cell lung cancer? I had cyberknife in my lower right lung back in 2011. It was effective with minimal side effects. In 2020, the cancer came back in my upper left lung. Now in 2024, it is back in my upper right lung. Apparently

not so great Petscan
Friday I had my first Petscan after two cycles of Ibrance and one on Kisqali. I was really hoping for all good results. Unfortunately, it was a mixed bag. My metastasis is my my lungs and there were three spots, two were biopsies and one too small was just assumed to be my breast cancer cells. Well

PSA increase nearly one year after triplet therapy (mHSPC), what's next?
Hello everyone, thank you for all your help for a year. My dad went from a high of 3103 PSA to a nadir of 44. He unfortunately couldn't reach a <1 result but it had stabilized for a few months after his docetaxel + zytiga + prednisone. Unfortunately his new result is 67 PSA exactly a year since diagnosis

Pleur x catheter
Update:- good news: l don't need pericardial effusion window surgery. - l did get a pleur x catheter placed last Friday. The procedure went well. I've had 2 drainage at home so far. - l would appreciate showering advice. I wrapped the dressing in place and seal plastic wrap but water still seeped into

lymphedema from prostate cancer, any advice on how to manage?
One of my dad’s biggest issues with prostate cancer is severe lymphedema from the waist down. He used to just have it in his right leg from lymph node removal during RP. Since being on the lynparza in January both sides have swelled up as well as scrotum and everything else below the waist. He was told

Bicalutamide
My Dad last week was diagnosed with 3 spots of cancer on his prostate. 3+4=7, 4+4=8, and a 4+3=7 spot. The thing I don’t understand is during the visit to the Urologist to discuss his biopsy results, the urologist prescribed 50mg of Bicalutamide to begin reducing his testosterone. I believe this is premature
