Stage Iv esophogeal cancer / terminal
Has anyone got any positive outcomes from stage 4 esopogeal cancer with liver mets ? My partner who is 52 has just started palliative chemo for this and they have told him it’s not curable but hopefully treatable, he’s very positive in himself and feels clinically well, he has had a stent fitted and

Chose SBRT over brachytherapy, but is long term survival the same?
I have pretty much decided to do SBRT. I had SpaceOAR last week and I have the pre-radiation appointment this Tuesday. Then approximately two weeks later radiation starts. I am second guessing myself now as my brother also has Prostate Cancer, and his doctors telling him that Brachytherapy (In his case

Brighton 10km race cancelled 😔
No surprise really, but I’m gutted as I was on track with my training and really looking forward to it. They are offering a virtual run where you can still get a medal and t shirt or defer to 2021. What with Parkrun no longer happening it’s hard to stay motivated. Sooooo. I’ve decided to run the virtual

VMAT Radiation Treatment side effects
Last week I completed 20 VMAT sessions with little to no side effects or discomfort. However this week, fatigue is setting in as well as frequent loose bowel movements. I still have my Prostate and it is pretty sore as well. I was warned frequency was likely to occur, so I'm not surprised. I know everyone

I googled the purpose of MRI and I came across few terms such as liver cancer , hepatitis , cirrhosis and Lesions that could
