Effexor has reduced side effects
I take effexor for depression and has helped reduce side effects from hormone therapy after successful radiation therapy. Has anyone had similar experience?

Post lumpectomy and radiation breast infection
Has anybody developed inflammation and tenderness emanating from their lumpectomy scar? I finished radiation treatment 4 months ago and wasn’t expecting it.

Does berberine help the effectiveness of radiation therapy? I've heard that it does but I would like some opinions of all the experts on this forum.

My urinary control has been excellent, I'm walking as much as 10 miles at a time without any ill-effects, and I've recently also began incorporating some mild

Statin and COX2 inhibitor for MCRPC?
Hi all, this is my very first post on this site and I must say many of you are very knowledgeable with regard to PC and its treatment. My husband was diagnosed at 57 with PC, PSA 60, T2b following prostatectomy and Glesson 4+3. PSA returned after surgery very promptly and the next two years followed
