Wish me luck,
Well I now have four out of four mets. I have liver, spine , lungs and now brain. Start my whole brain radiotherapy on Monday. Looking at this board it seems I am going to be exhausted for a couple of months. Not looking forward to wearing the mask either, as I am very claustrophobic 😢

neutropaenia long after Rx
Has anyone had low neutrophils long after Radiotherapy? Nearly a year after it, my neutrophils are only 0.6, way below the lower normal range.

Breast surgery after radiotherapy
Has anyone had surgery after having radiotherapy on their breast. I am faced with this dilemma so am interested to find out how things went, did you heal ok. Good/bad results cosmetically? Any problems. Anything else you can share would be most helpful. Many thanks

All down hill from there on in. To cut a long story short I ended up in hospital on two occasion both times with Gallstone

Diet advise to beat rectal cancer
Hi guys! I am 26 years old, and I got diagnosed of rectal cancer in 2 months ago. It was said to be 8cm in size, but localised. I have had two doses of the chemotherapy treatment already, and still have others including radiotherapy scheduled. I would like to know if there are things to eat, and diet

Looking for a good MO specializing in prostate cancer treatment.
I have been receiving treatment at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota for the last 3 years. Urologist is Matthew Tollefson. As psa is just starting to rise after radiation therapy, 6 months of Lupron and a 6 month period of being undetectable, I am thinking that I should have a good MO involved. Any

Fatigue
My mum has terrible fatigue to the point that she couldn’t move out of bed this morning. She eventually got up and has taken it very slow and easy all day, but she says it feels like all life has been sucked out of her body. She’s due to start second-line treatment a week tomorrow after the chemo/immunotherapy

Dexamethasone and Enzalutamide
Hi everyone! Dad is currently undergoing radiotherapy on his lower spine due to compression. They have also prescribed him dexamethasone. I have read there is a moderate interaction meaning that it decreases effectiveness of the Enzalutamide. Does anyone know of this and should it be of concern? Thanks

HIPEC
Has anyone here had, or knows of someone, that has had HIPEC for metastasised stomach cancer? My husband has one metastatic tumour 4 yrs after his gastrectomy. It is in an awkward position and 6 months of standard chemo has had little effect and they’ve had to lower the dose of radiotherapy for fear

PET scan / Cancer has returned
At the end of 2019 I stopped immunotherapy and all was quite well with my lung cancer. I was left with a 19mm tumour that was "inactive" the cancer had gone from my lymph nodes. Roll forward January 2021 after a CT scan it had shown 2 lymph nodes in the middle of my chest had enlarged to 2cm plus each

Supplements and Radiation Therapy
I am 69 and was diagnosed approximately 4 months ago with locally advanced Ductal Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate, Gleason 8, with seminal vessel involvement. I've been on Eligard for 3 months and had blood tests yesterday but I don't have any results to share yet. I also had a CT SIM yesterday in preparation

Post SABR (SBRT) side effects
My father underwent 5 rounds of SABR alongside a 4-month injection of Lupron. He finished his last radiation treatment on Feb 18th. The last three days he has been experiencing a lot of gas and diarrhea. I messaged the radiation oncologist and he suggested Imodium and the BRAT diet. Anybody have any

Radiotherapy Bleeding
Hi everyone, My dad is is currently half way through palliative radiotherapy on his prostate. He said he's started to see blood on the tissue when he wipes. He says sometimes only a bit then other times a bit more. The radiologist said this is about par for the course at this stage. I suppose the main

Bone Pain Remedy
For those unfortunate enough to have had bone pain, was you able to remedy it? And if so how ? My Dad has had some sharp pain running up outside of one of his legs around the side of the calf when he walks and some pins and needle in both feet. Obviously nerve irritation or bone infiltration could be
