Paclitaxel and hair loss
hi everyone, I have just had my 3rd paclitaxel today, I am on weekly doses via IV and have no signs of my hair falling out? Not even a slight bit? I’m concerned that it means it’s not working, has this happened to anyone else or does the hair loss come a little later down the line?

PSA 4.5, 9% free PSA, 65 yo
65 yo, in good health, active. I've had BPH and mild cessation incontinence ~2yrs. Semiannual PSA tests have been 2.2-3.8, very weak upward trend. MRI last April was neg. Latest reading was 4.5 ng/ml, free PSA 9%. First time urologist has mentioned free PSA. He recommends another MRI in April '24. Consensus

Autophagy could be bad for those who have cancer?
I was already aware for a few years that autophagy, which is triggered by intermittent fasting and long fasts, is very useful to prevent cancer as it is recycles old damaged proteins that could otherwise turn into cancer and also because it helps your body produce new cells and refreshes your immune

Blood on toilet paper
hey everyone, So for a while I have been seeing blood on my toilet paper. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it does happen frequent enough that I’m a bit concerned. It usually takes for me to wipe twice to actually see the blood. It’s not much and it is bright red. For what I can tell I don’t think

why so much stool?
hello I’m posting to this forum once again as my Ibs symptoms continue to worsen. I don’t know if I’m constipated or have diarrhea but simply put, my colon is always filling up with mushy stool containing food fragments. I have 10 to 15 bowel movements every day but never get any feeling of relief

Hello everyone .
Hi all , hope you all managed a reasonable Christmas despite various treatments etc ongoing … I’m interested to hear from anyone who had chemo / radiation treatment for lung cancer stage 3 and didn’t follow up with immunotherapy either because it wasn’t an option or because they chose not to or other

Is my recovery typical or more novel
I had 7=4+3 prostate cancer PSA=5.4 with a Gleason of 0.7. MRI showed the tumor had not compromised the wall of the prostate. It was an aggressive cancer genetically and was at stage three. Bad news but apparently ample margin for victory. I had ADT from 7/22 till 12/22 and received Proton beam therapy

Radiation, Focal or Removal?
I was just diagnosed last week. Here is the layout of the biopsy results. 13 cores with a combination of 3+3=6 and 3+4=7. I meet with the doctor on Monday, He has already ordered a PRolaris Genomic test. Should get that back in 4 weeks. I am going to look at all options before making any decisions

COLONOSCOPY
Gooday, I have been short listed for a colonoscopy to exclude bowel cancer. The first step is to speak with the surgical consultant. I believe a local anesthetic may be administered. Currently I am on a low dose of Ibrutinib. What are other peoples experience regarding the stopping and starting
