Afternoon radiotherapy reduces side effects for some patients
Articles reported in several UK newspapers today regarding work done at Leicester University. Giving some cancer patients radiotherapy later in the afternoon could reduce their risk of side effects, researchers have found. Breast cancer patients who are night owls could be left with fewer painful lumps

Radiation or Chemotherapy on Prostate?
Hi All, I wish I was back with better news but we met with my Dad’s oncologist for our 3 month checkup after completing chemo and found that although the cancer has stopped growing in my Dad’s bones and lymph nodes, it continues to grow in the prostate gland in specific. My father actually suspected

If cancer has spread beyond the prostate, is RP best first treatment option?
My husband PSA was 33 in November 2018. He was suffering from colitis and the PSA was an unexpected part of getting him on the path for that treatment. Biopsy finally done in February 2019 showed cancer in 11 of 12 spots, one with 4+3 GS7. Bone scan and CAT scan were negative. Met with surgeon on April

Onc's visit results
Traveled to Adelaide to visit my Onc on the 9th April. My PSA has been at <.05 since November 2018, and the last test came back the same. Good news, for me, is that my mets (left ilium, right iliac crest, t5, 7th right rib, and both clavicles) are now undetectable. I've been fighting this bastard since

Hi all, Sorry to be here but grateful that you are here to support and inform me. I’ve been reading posts every night for a while. I’m a generally fit and healthy 62 year old guy, was diagnosed in January after 3 months of unfortunately misdirected management on prolonged antibiotics as prostatitis.

Radical Prostatectomy or Radiotherapy for High and Very High Risk Prostate Cancer?
New study from MD Anderson. "Long-term outcomes appear similar among high and very high-risk prostate cancer patients deemed eligible for either RP or RT and treated after consultation in a multidisciplinary prostate cancer clinic." So, to those who are beating themselves up over making the wrong choice

🤭Sex???🤭
Hi🌺 It's a bit of a shameful subject. Sex after radiotherapy and chemo for me is very painful. The dryness of the mucous membranes is extreme. I could not solve it with lubricants. Only me ???? Thank you

Severe nausea after radiotherapy
My radiotherapy treatment for an Oesophagas tumour was completed about 4/5 weeks ago and now I have continual nausea which is seriously affecting my appetite. I have almost reached the point where I can only take nourishment drinks (smoothies). My current antisickness medication doesn’t seem to help
