Thanks and hope to all
No questions …just wanted to thank everyone for all your input and support …especially during the holidays. Had my Christmas radiation treatment yesterday and 7 of 15 linac dose today.. Brachytherapy prior with ADT for the last 7 months. Things seem to be going as smoothly as it sometimes does. Appreciate

Diagnosed with all the arrhythmias and a 40% ejection fraction and I'm a little confused about what's to come...
Hi, So (I'll try and keep a long story short) 8 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I had chemo, radiotherapy and surgery. 3 years ago I gave birth to my son and (in lock down) I'd walk for miles and miles with him in a sling. Around 2 years ago, while pregnant with my daughter, I got tired

Is nmCRPC potentially curable?
I would appreciate any input on this. I searched the internet and found this article from Fred Saad: Treatment of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: focus on second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-020-00310-3 I couldn't find anything

I had my appointment at the Late Side Effects clinic on Tuesday 19th December. I met the senior radiographer an oncologist and a nurse all of whom were very helpful and kind. They had all my notes dating back from my cancer treatment in 2015 to date including all the hospitals and consultants I’ve seen

GBM and Keto Diet - Urgent
My brother was diagnosed with GBM (grade IV) in May 2023. I wonder, please, if any of you know about the Keto Diet and how effective it might be in treating GBM. He has had CV (Awake Craniotomy), followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Thank you

Next steps after radiotherapy
Hi, In Oct 2023, My dad's MRI revealed that cancer had spread to few vertebral bones and has reached a rib bone. He got a PET scan and then underwent ~20 days of radiotherapy in Nov 2023. But his doctor has not asked him to do any follow-up tests after the radiotherapy ended. Is this the norm? Should

Cyproterone and Blood Pressure
I am currently on LHRH hormone therapy in preparation for radiotherapy followed by HDR brachytherapy for my locally advanced PCa, T3a Gleason 8, no visible mets fortunately.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT EFFECTIVE SALVAGE TREATMENTS IN CASE OF A REOCCURRENCE IF YOU HAVE HAD SBRT,IMRT, WITH PLACEMENT OF GOLD BARS?

gold markers
you cannot do any of the following
salvage treatments in case of a reoccurrence
: Proton therapy, Hifu, Tulsa Pro , Etc. Is this true???? Again a significant fact left out before treatment...

Body jerking/spasms
Since finishing radiotherapy in August for lung cancer, I have these uncontrollable body jerking throughout the night, arms, legs, head etc. Also, twice now, I've fallen to the floor jerking on and off for nearly 30 minutes.

Help with getting a diagnosis
Hi all, I have been struggling for years now with symptoms of hypothyroidism. It’s all really come on over the last couple of years. My weight is out of control, I’m freezing all the time, my hair is dry and brittle, plus many other textbook underactive thyroid symptoms. I’ve been to the doctors
