Androgen Receptor [AR] Axis Therapies
Some thoughts on AR-axis therapy (androgen deprivation & AR antagonists) after reading a new assessment of the benefit of second-line drugs [1]. In a sense, I view myself fortunate to have been diagnosed in 2004. When surgery [RP] was not successful (nor salvage radiation) it was suggested that I begin

Ambiguous sclerotic spine lesion post radiation/ Taking HDT.

My friend has a new sclerotic lesion on the T2 and the diagnosis was left uncertain. Follow up in 3 months with another

Lung cancer treatments
What are current treatment options for stage 3 lung cancer ? I really don't want to have radiotherapy, I hated it when I had loads of it for cervical cancer.

Increased tumor marker after radiotherapy
Afternoon all, I am currently on ibrance 75mg and letrozole. I had a mastectomy in June and radiotherapy which ended 20th August. On 20/8 my tumor marker was steadily going down to 41 but has now gone up to 51. Am somewhat anxious, could the radiotherapy have caused the marker to rise? Any comments gratefully

Exceptions to "early salvage" radiation treatment for recurrence after prostatectomy
Sometimes, it is unsafe to wait for a biochemical recurrence; sometimes, it is safe to put it off. https://www.prostatecancer.news/2021/10/exceptions-to-early-salvage-radiation.html

Possible uptake after pet/scan but PSA is still 0.01?.
Hi Folks, I had a petscan in late August and 2 weeks later one of the Oncology team rang to say they were not sure but it looks like there maybe some uptake in the L2 where I had high dose radiotherapy last year & now have a spinal fracture of L2. Plus also possibly a spot in the Hip. I just had a

Breathless
Hi guys had my lung removed 13 weeks ago followed by 10 sessions of radiotherapy. Since radiotherapy I am very breathless worse than when I had my lung removed has anyone experienced this and if so didn’t get better. Doctor thinks it might but I’m not sure as it is 5 weeks since I finished radiotherapy

So it's finally happening. Tues and Wed 10/19 & 10/20 After endless delays, Jim finally gets his radiation treatment. Such a relief that it will be Dr Peter Carroll doing the surgical portion. Anxiety is high, but that helps a lot. Also Jim's latest PSA went to ultrasensitive test and is 0.04 Thanks

Phenytoin sodium long term links to cancer?
Hi, my girlfriend has epilepsy and was put on this drug about 7 years ago. She is 32 and since being on it she has undergone over a dozen surgeries, a hysterectomy and partial vulvectomy. Her consultant has advised it may be worth changing medication as they don’t understand why her cancer Has been so

Problems with stomach since latest treatment
Lately when I've been running, most of the time I find that within the first few minutes my stomach swells (gas I think) and make me very uncomfortable. My prostate was removed 3 years ago, I had radiotherapy and hormone therapy to follow. Since my latest treatment in January - sabre radiotherapy on
