Lung cancer update
It's been a long time since I posted and much has happened. A tumor in my lung which my oncologist and I have been following for 3 years has finally reached the point where we are looking into treatment options. The most promising one so far is stereoscopic radiation therapy. An appointment was originally

hi, just joined this site, i have been seen by the oncologist, due to severe copd im not a candidate for lung surgery, radiotherapy for 4 weeks has been agreed, there is also a lump in my breast so another ct scan is needed along with biopsies so radiotherapy will be delayed until the results come back

Bladder Cancer Blood Test
I have damage to my bladder as a result of Prostate Cancer Guided Radiation Treatment, in 2013. I have had a couple of instances this year of small clots, in my urine. The last Urologist that used a scope up my penis to check for Bladder Cancer, a few years ago, caused a lot of pain and bleeding. I

PSA 3.12 after 3/17 radical prostatectomy. Future treatment thoughts?
I'm new to Advanced Prostate Cancer, moving "up" from Prostate Cancer Network due to recent pathology results after da Vinci radical prostatectomy (RP) on March 17 in Spokane, WA, with Dr. Raymond Lance, who had more than 2,000 da Vinci RPs under his belt. I feel very good about this choice. Surgery

Radiotherapy.
Has anyone had radiotherapy after the removal of a lump from the breast? If so, can you let me know, if after the treatment had stopped the breast area treated became extremely sore (and red)? My three-week course stopped a week ago and the soreness has got much worse and is so very painful. The ointment
