16cm Fibroid
Hi all, I have just had a phone call from my doctor advising I have a large mass in my pelvic, 16cm which looks like a fibroid. I’ve had pain and bloating for the last few months which is why I had the scan. It’s caused me a lot of worry as the doctor said ‘they think it’s a fibroid’ so now I’m googling

Liquid Biopsy
Has anyone had experience with having a Liquid Biopsy done? It is a blood test that can identify cells in the body which may show cancer, then enabling doctors to target therapies that can help. It’s recently been approved by FDA, so insurance can pay. I just had this done at Stanford Hospital (California

CA 27.29 Blood test
My new oncologist wants to add a new tumor marker test to my regular tests for CA15 and CEA. I know these guys all have widely varying ideas on which ones - if any - mean anything. So just looking to see if you all have any experience with this. My Ca15 has always been an accurate indicator and predictor

Colostomy
I was diagnosed with Ovarian ca IVa involving the omentum and liver tumors in September 2023. Since then, have undergone 6 cycles of chemo (avastin, Carboplatin, taxol). Now, am anticipating for surgery on Feb 27 ( in 3 weeks). My surgery told me there’s a 50/50 chance I will need colostomy ( tumor

Radical prostatectomy consultant in the south of England
I've been diagnosed with prostate cancer, quite aggressive with a Gleason of 9 (4+5). No spread has been detected on a CT scan and I'm due to have a NM bone whole body scan on Friday to detect any spread to the bones. Assuming there is no or little spread, I am keen to have a radical laparoscopic prostatectomy

Blood biopsy
My last PET scan showed progression in my T1, manumbrium (top part of the sternum) and in my pelvis. My oncologist ordered a blood biopsy and the results show that there is no treatment for my mutations. So I had 5 sessions of radiation, each time treating all 3 of my lesions. She is keeping me on

How was your Ovarian cancer diagnosed?
So, I'm 42 and have been on waiting list for nearly 12 months having been diagnosed with multiple fibroids. My GP recently ordered an ultrasound for me, to see if I could get in the 2 week pathway - as my FBC showed elevated levels of CA125. My ultrasound showed 2 small cysts on ovaries and some

What You Wish You Knew About Breast Cancer Once you receive a breast cancer diagnosis, a million things run through your mind. One of the big things is how much you don’t know before getting caught in the cyclone of treatment with no time to process until you’ve entered the survivorship stage. This

Father with Stage 4 prostate cancer in 8 bones.
On 10/25/22 I took my dad (79 at the time) to the ER at the VA for escalating back pain and we walked out with a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. When I brought him to the ER I expected them to tell me he had lung cancer as he is a lifelong smoker. Additionally, I had been worried about him all year

Risk vs reward in clinical trials
Morning folks, I just finished reading my clinical protocol consent paperwork and don’t get the good warm feeling that the risk is worth the reward. This trial is through Sarah Cannon Research and involves a first in human investigational drug called TAK 280. It utilizes an approach already in clinical

What should I do - follow-ups not feeling thorough
Hi everyone, before I start my question I want to send out love to everyone on here and I really wish being well for everyone. I wish there wasn’t a load of experts on here because it means we are all in this. I was diagnosed in 2022 - they thought they would find ovarian but they were surprised to

ibrance/letrozole - when did tumor shrink?
For those of you taking ibrance and letrozole, when did you notice a reduction in your breast lump? When you first started on the meds, how long did it take before you noticed things were changing and tumor started shrinking?

treatment side effects vs cancer side effects
”Pain” vs “discomfort” in abdomen region following radiation and on Lupron- is it side effects or the cancer itself? Dad was diagnosed November 2023 and received radiation for 5 weeks that ended Jan 3rd. Started Lupron end of November. Cancer has spread to part of hip bone and pelvic lymph nodes.

NY Times Darolutamide Ad
I wonder how much a two-page ad (pages 12-13) in the Sunday edition of the New York Times costs? It begins with a story about Dr. Tom Green, urologist, who has had PCa for 19 years, however, it became metastatic only recently . He has opted for Darolutamide. Segue to Dr. Matthew Smith, lead in

Statin use and outcomes of oncological treatment for castration-resistant prostate cancer - From the Finnish poulation, Nature, 11/01/23
As a follow-up to recent posts on statins and PCa, here is another Euopean study, this time from the Finns. As noted in the Abstract below, they come to the conclusion of no/little benefit for crPCa, but maybe some for csPCa. The apparent pooling of data for specific type/form of statin does not provide
