Diagnosed today with an acoustic Neuroma.
Hi Everyone. I have just been told this morning that my MRI confirmed an acoustic neuroma. The ENT Doctor said he is now referring me to a specialist in Manchester. Can anyone tell me what to expect now ? Did anyone have any treatment for it ? Thank you.

Wondering if I should get a Partial Thyroidectomy?
I have a nodule on the left side of my thyroid which grew from 11 x 5 x 7 mm to 14 x 9 x 7 mm over the last 6 months. My endocrinologist and ENT believe it’s cancer. No impact on my lymph nodes. My surgery is in a few days and I’m just nervous I’m removing a part of my body that could be fine. Any

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
Do lymph nodes simply act as a temporary filter to prevent cancer from spreading too far? I was curious about this because I have 4th stage prostate cancer, and my Lymph had swelled to the size of a golfball. When I took the ADT, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared

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

Mr Geoff Lloyd
Diagnosed in 2010 with advanced PC. Prostatectomy in 2011 followed by the "all clear". PSA refused to disappear and so RT followed. PSA still present and PC nodules found in my lung in 2021. I then had a 6 session course of chemotherapy and have been on Abiaterone and Demoxosone drugs ever since.Nodules

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023.

PSA Risen in Last 6 months
Have been on here a week ago, explaining that my husband (who was diagnosed 10years ago) has now been diagnosed with Gastroporesis, so not eating much due to constant nausea and vomiting. We are due to see his Urologist in 2 weeks time, so had the dreaded PSA blood test. It had been almost undetectable

ET: Changing from HU to Jakafi or an Interferon treatment
Hello everyone, I'd be really grateful for any guidance / advice on the following: ET / JAK2 were diagnosed 10 years ago following a stroke (fortunately without serious consequences) and I was put on HU plus Aspirin. Amazingly I had no side-effects (apart from a 'rash' on my lower legs after about

does having endo mean I am at high risk for ovarian cancer?
hi! I an 26 and I have recently been diagnosed with moderate endometriosis. I am having a hard time coming to terms with it all and I consulted dr Google. I came across studies that show endo is a precursor to ovarian cancer and increases risk. I already have health anxiety however now I have gotten

delayed reconstruction
I had a subdural haemorrhage in may 2023 removing most of the right side of my scull even encroached my forehead that’s some 10 months ago now. I was supposed to receive reconstructive surgery and have titanium implant to protect the sensitive area where my skin is my only protection to my brain. That

Genetic Testing?
Does anyone have an experience to share about getting genetic testing done on your biopsy samples? I'm interested in three tests: (1) a DECIPHER test, (2) a full gene sequencing of tumor DNA and RNA (e.g., at Claris Labs), and (3) the Artera AI analysis of digitized pathology slides. Also, if anyone

Update following meeting with MO
For those following my journey, I had a face-to-face meeting with my MO today and learnt a few things I didn't know. Firstly, the genetic test of the liver tumour the NHS do only tests for BRCA - no other genes. The reason appears to be that the only treatment they would offer is a Parp inhibitor so
