Any experience with Intraductal Cancer?
Not sure how this works. Hopefully you can read my profile to see where I'm at. If not, I repeat it here. My GP recommended biopsy after several annual PSA results around 4.0 Was on active surveillance since diagnosis in 2019 with biopsy Gleason 6 in two cores. Similar result in annual biopsies

the DARE trial....anyone familiar with it, been in it?
the trial is ongoing screening of your blood every 6 months, checking for ctDNA ( cancer tumor DNA)....if it is found you begin a treatment regimen...if not they just continue to screen you for 2 years...any thoughts? In my mind this should be the future of cancer detection as it finds the disease at

There’s no point to this post
Hi everyone, hope you’re all as well as can be. I’m approximately 3 1/2 years into this PMR. Sometimes it gets me down. I’ve been trying to start Humira for Ankylosing Spondylitis again, but the delivery company have been an absolute NIGHTMARE! It’s been so long since I last took it that I’m wondering

To Chemo or Not to Chemo--that is the ?
