Experiances with Kaiser SF?
Hi All, I completed my radiation therapy 15 months ago at Kaiser SF with Dr. Mohan. Without Flomax, I have terrible pain when I urinate - urinary strictures I believe. My libido is shot and so are my erections...None of my doctors have addressed these issues except to say something akin to ****happens

"late toxicity" issues when dealing with radiation therapies.
SBRT seems like it has good results comparable to a Prostectomy, and better for side effects initially but I worry about the "late toxicity" issues when dealing with radiation therapies. From what I read, side effects can start appearing even years afterwards. Having a prostectomy, at least you get it

Introduction: Shaunjon, 47, I went through pelvic radiation in 2009. I have been through a lot, unnecessarily, unfortunately.
My profile kinda goes over the just of my situation. I've been through pelvic radiotherapy in 2009. Chemotherapy in 2014. I've learned a lot so feel free to ask anything. I have questions but nothing that important. In my situation, which would be considered pretty standard, I know without a doubt

Temozolomide Side Effects
My dad is on his 2nd cycle of TMZ (300mg)5 days on, 3 weeks off regime. He had GBM located on his left frontal lobe but due to size and depth could not be operated on. Therefore he had 3 weeks of radiotherapy along with 155mg daily TMZ. He has poor speech and his right arm is paralysed. However this

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking Bicalutamide 50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection. This month (October), after receiving his Leuprorelin injection, Urologist advised to stop taking Bicalutamide as it is no longer effective due to hormone resistance

Meridian Viewray is toast. Can Cyberkife machines use MRI the same way?
Just was unenrolled in a Phase I clinical trial using the Meridian Viewray machine at Dana Farber. Meridian went belly-up in the summer, and the hospital (Brigham and Women’s in Boston) will cease using that machine in October 25th. Looking for substitutes. Thinking that Cyberknife machines can also

cough after breast radiation
I finished radiotherapy for breast cancer 4 weeks ago and have now developed a dry cough with clear phlegm coming from upper respiratory tract. Does anyone know if this could be related to the radiation ?

Trying to get to retirement before HT
Hi All, I'm currently 65 years old. My PSA level before the biopsy was 8.1, and my Gleason Score was 4+4. Fortunately, there are no signs of metastases. Although my treatment hasn't started yet, it's likely that I'll begin radiation therapy in early December. I'm currently overseas and won't return

So far, Hifas da Terra has shown mushroom formulas to complement chemotherapy and radiation therapy by countering the side- effects of cancer, such as nausea, bone marrow suppression, anaemia, and lowered resistance, as well as enhancing the effectiveness of the conventional treatment. The current

Radiation treatment for gynecomastia? Anyone?
As we all know, ADT treatments can cause a side effect known as gynecomastia. I am experiencing gynecomastia after being on Orgovyx and am considering the radiation treatment for it. Has anyone out there done the radiation treatment for gynecomastia? How did it work out for you? Did you experience

Salvage radiation fears
Right before he got wheeled back for surgery, my husband’s dr came in. I assume it was for a pep talk, but it did the opposite. He essentially said “this is a good first step - let’s get this out and then prepare for radiation”. Surgery went fine and physically he’s recovering well (although only 4
