Rise in CA125
Hi ladies, Hope you're all well! My Mum has really had a bit of a knock back after being told of a rise in her CA125 levels. It was 16, then 22, and now shot up to 92. She's stage 4 borderline, had 6x chemo, optimal debulking surgery, and was declared NED August last year — she's also completing a year

Results are in (Update 2/17/23)
So recurrent after radiation and 2 years ADT. PSA pretty close to 3 by now. Bone and CT scan done because my cheap insurance company denied the Pylarify until after the other 2. I don't mind the extra contrasts, barium or whatever hell else they gave me. I keep asking is it nuclear. Only the bone scan

Education is the key!
90% of skin cancers are preventable and 98% treatable or curable if diagnosed early! It’s not rocket science - education is key to combatting the disease and saving lives. That’s why Skcin are dedicated to and specialise in the prevention and early detection of skin cancer through educational intervention

PSMA PET/CT scan: 18F vs. 68Ga
My post-RP BCR has creeped up to 0.56, so after discussing this with my oncologist, I decided to get a PSMA PET/CT scan before deciding on a treatment plan. My local radiology center uses the Pylarify (18F PSMA-DCFPyL) tracer, but I'm thinking I might get a better result with the newer Illuccix (68Ga

length of time for biopsy results
Hi, had a partial lung lobectomy and lymph node removal, was told biopsy results would be back in 7-10 days. It’s now been 41 days and I’ve heard nothing. When I contact various people I’m just being told this length of timeframe is not uncommon.. this does not sound right to me… Anyone else had to wait

Hi all I’ve not been here for nearly 3 months time has disappeared recently. Last time here was the night before my surgery.
Surgery was ok ( In hindsight ! ). total hysterectomy bilateral salpingoophrectomy .., they took my appendix and also omentum. Histology came back as Stage 1c2 mucinous adenocarcinoma . Was suspected ( as most mucinous are ) that it was a secondary tumour from GI origin ( stomach / bowel) I’ve had

Lymph node spread
My husband was recently told he had a mass on lungs and so far we’ve had CT, MRI and are awaiting PET. Specialist nurse has told us CT showed no evidence of spread and I think she said that included no spread to lymph nodes, can CT confirm that or could PET still pick up spread to lymph nodes?

Rising PSA numbers
I completed my 4th infusion with Doxetoxal last week. Between my 1st and 2nd infusion my PSA went from 5.3 to 9.8. my ONC said not to worry as it takes a few infusions before the PSA turns down. Between my 3rd and 4th infusion my PSA went to 11.4. Being an optimist I read this as the curve being put

Critical illness cover for ET
Hi, my husband who is 50 has just been diagnosed with ET CALR following a bone marrow biopsy. Initially he went to the doctor for a well man check which revealed high platelets (917). Diagnosis was finally confirmed at the beginning of January 2023. At the moment he has been classed as low risk

Feeling lonely
Hi I was diagnosed in August 2022 and I am happy to report I am 'stable' after my first three month ct results with some reduction. So fingers crossed my results come soon for my last ct on Monday just gone. Had a bit of scan anxiety and feeling very much alone on this journey. My husband and children

alkaline phosphatase
So I read somewhere after googling can cancer be detected on regular CMP panel because I had a CMP panel in October 2021 (normal) and then X-rays in January 2022 (also normal). I had a chest X-ray, lumbar spine X-ray because I fell in my house and feared a broken bone. All clear. Neither blood work or

? Any progress in the history of "War on Cancer"
When you take a break from reading research articles on Prostate Cancer..... I recently read two books that give a background look at cancer research, and the influence of government and big pharma. Some significant progress into some childhood malignancies and perhaps immunotherapy for lung Ca/Melanoma
