Early Breast Cancer - Radiation Treatment
I'm about to embark on a 4 week radiation therapy after my lumpectomy. I'm not looking forward to it. I have a weak heart and ultra sensitive skin. The more I read about its long term side effects, the more hesitant I become. Any advice for me? Has anyone skipped radiation treatment?

What should I do - follow-ups not feeling thorough
Hi everyone, before I start my question I want to send out love to everyone on here and I really wish being well for everyone. I wish there wasn’t a load of experts on here because it means we are all in this. I was diagnosed in 2022 - they thought they would find ovarian but they were surprised to

Effect of Age on Treatment Outcomes
Here is a recent study that shows having an older age (ranging from 65-75) results in a more favorable outcome when doing radiation treatment (i.e., older is better). The opposite is true for radical prostatectomy (RP) treatment. Namely, the older you are, the worse the outcome is after RP. https:

mHSPCa with undetectable PSA - chemo-only?
Is chemo-only justified, without ADT/androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, in a case like mine with two new mets discovered and with PSA less than 0.1? I have had no SOC medication since 2.5 years, after SRBR to a single identified met. Gleason 9. This study points to ADT not being of benefit to low-PSA

Blood Results
My husband has been in the hospital with me by his side since Sunday. He’s receiving his radiation treatment to his meninges everyday here and when he is discharged they wanted him to go into a rehab place for a few weeks but no one will take him because of his Pluvicto treatment coming up on Tuesday

biopsy - fragmented cores and progression risk
I had 3 biopsies from January 2020 to July 2022. The first two almost identical being Gleason 3+4 with <10% 4. However 6 months post HIFU it was Gleason 9 with 4+5 with 10% 5 and 70% 5 (see below). I am curious as the cores are fragmented and so it’s hard to know what this means and if it makes any

Radiotherapy for OC in lymph nodes
Hello ladies. I wonder if those on here in England, who have had radiotherapy, could please tell me which hospital trust you had the treatment under. My oncologist still says they don't use radiotherapy, though I know many of you have had it. I'm on my fourth recurrence and currently on weekly taxol

Radiotherapy for lung cancer
After an oncologist appointment I was left deflated. I did know the risk of extra damage to the lung and possibly needing oxygen. She was talking like she didn't want me to try. At the moment they said I have 18 months to 2 years left and the Radiotherapy would give me an extra year . All of this is

Please send me some positivity.
I have just had the results of my CT scan and I have been told I have a recurrance in one para-aortic lymph node. I will either need surgery (if they can), chemo or radiotherapy. I'm so scared as this is my first recurrence from Stage 4 ovarian cancer and I'm only 56 and have two teenagers. I can't
