My MO initially recommended radiation. Two days later, at our latest in-person appointment, he told me that if I get radiation now it could

Should I be freaking out???!!
Following my second biopsy just before Christmas, the preliminary results just after, Gleason 6 (3+3) before, now G7 (3+4), 4 cores all positive at target site, one was 11mm of cancer and finally, the pathologist found 'ductal cancer' and this meant they suggested some form of treatment - either RP or

Recovering after infection
My mum has completed her treatment for small cell lung cancer, about 3 weeks after her radiotherapy finished she took a severe pneumonia and was hospitalised for just over 3 weeks. Her appetite has completely gone as a result and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of this and how and if I can

I'll try and keep this brief (and there's a more thorough explanation in the previous post if anyone is interested) - long story short, Mum had advanced kidney cancer and is also convinced she has

1 YEAR AFTER RADIOTHERAPY
As I control blood every 3 months, so I took it on January 8, 2021. PSA <0.014, testosterone 13.9 nmol / L. Am I cured now, how often should I control PSA, what are my chances of getting cancer back? I have 100 questions that may be difficult to answer. Do you have any advice? best regards

Results are back from Oncotype DNA test.
Hello ladies! Merry Christmas and a very Happy 2021 to you all! 12/16 my oncologist talked to me about having IV chemo, because he was worried about “distant” cancer, because cancer was found in one sentinel lymph node. I had a total of 18 lymph nodes removed but there was only cancer in the lymph node
