Gentle steps to next HM
3 months ago I was happily training for the HM which came to an end on 12th March with a 13km run. In early February I attended my routine mammogram and a week later got the call back for further investigation. For the next few weeks various investigations confirmed that I had breast cancer. A bit

Positive Progress
So I've just had my 1st Cancerversary, in that I was diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer on the 12th May last year, I thought i'd share a couple of things i've learnt for the benefit of someone who may be in the same position I was a year ago. Point 1: If you have surgery don't assume you'll be out running

Off label use of Mekinist (Trametinib)
I came across this in chapter 43 of the Dr Mark Sholz book The Key to Prostate Cancer. It's only anecdotal evidence of course. Anybody considering taking it, should do it with agreement of their MO. Mekinist is a Mek inhibitor and used to treat melanoma, thyroid cancer and non small lung cancer. Patient

Sensitive to radiation
I began my radiotherapy (prostate plus lower abdomen lymph nodes) on Tuesday. 5 hours after the treatment I became nauseous so the following day they gave me pills that help with that. Yesterday I started having urinary problems such as if I hold my urine like I need to during therapy, then when I try

Radiotherapy for sarcomatoid sccs related to ruxolitinib: would welcome dosage experiences

Anyone Have Blood Clots Following Chemo?
I have just been diagnosed with nearly a foot-long blood clot in my right leg. An ultrasound indicates the clot's in a smaller vein near the surface of the skin, as opposed to a deep vein. But it is raising concern of my doctor as it's apparently close to a junction with a larger vein. It is extremely

Leg Pain
Hi everyone, just a question with regards to pain that my old man is feeling at the moment. It started round about the time he started radiotherapy on his Prostate. They decided to do an MRI and although this chucked up a couple more lesions than what was already known, he was cleared for spinal compression

Suspicious Pelvic Lymph Nodes. Next Action?
I have just got back to the UK from the Netherlands where I went to Radboud University Medical Centre to have a Combidex Nano MRI scan and a PSMA Pet scan. Travel authorisation was a nightmare due to a combination of Brexit and Covid 19 but that is another story which I may post on later. But I had great

Cannot take antioxidants during radiotherapy
My first run on Lupron a year ago had been debilitating making it very difficult for me to do my work as a software developer. I ended up going off Lupron following that first shot. In January of this year, I went back on Lupron but I found ways to fight the fatigue and brain fog with a combination

Hyperthermia Treatment
Hi, I have a small mass at the base of my throat and it is causing a lot of discomfort. I am unable to use radiation therapy as the area has been previously treated. It has been suggested I try localised hyperthermia treatment. Have any of you tried this treatment method and if so what are your thoughts

Radiotherapy - are there any disadvantages?
So, 7 months on enzalutamide has passed quickly and I get a phone call out of the blue from the Royal Marsden. "We want you to start targeted radiotherapy on your prostate. Please come in for us to arrange this." My PSA currently hovers around 0.18. I begun at 10.8 ("but it should have been much higher

Mets to T-9
2nd PET end February demonstrated continuation of remission to Mets in my T-9. I underwent Radiotherapy to T8 - T11, I take Ibrance, Letrozole and Denusomab six monthly. Seems my back goes through bouts of pain especially first few months after Denusomab (last one end March) any one else experiences

Getting ready for clinical trial
I agreed to take part in a clinical trial (S1802) a couple weeks ago, and with that came another round of scans, more blood draws, a chat with a urologist, and a chat with a radiation oncologist. My bone scan had a lot fewer dark spots this time around, and the report said 'mets are less conspicuous'

fasting before radiation treatment
What are the thoughts of fasting prior to radiation treatment for protecting against cytotoxic effects and also improving effectiveness of treatment.

Cll and skin cancer - An update and a warning.
You may recall I had a neck dissection followed by 6 weeks of intensive radiotherapy which finished about 6 weeks ago. This was to treat SCC of the parotid gland which had spread to lymph nodes in my neck I got through all of that ok and managed the side effects from the RT. Even my CLL was in remission

Help with Nocturia (night time urination)
Compared to others on this group, I have got off lightly with late side effects of Radiotherapy. But I still have some. I hope what I am posting does not seem trivial compared to what others are going through. I had pelvic radiotherapy 45 years ago. I believe my nocturia started about 30 years ago.
