Any experience with PARP inhibitors (Niraparib)?
Hello, I am new to this forum. It seems like an amazing support community. My dad is 72, PSA is rising after radiation treatment and hormone therapy for the past 2 years. He has now become castrate resistant and mets on bones in his pelvic area, arm, spine and neck. He has the following options. 1)

Cancerland - my journey so far
Hi everyone I was (mis)diagnosed with stage 1 nsclc squamous back in March 2013. As I was stage 1 surgery was an option. Brilliant I thought. Curable I thought. Wrong! When surgeons went to remove the bottom of my right lung they also found a tumour stuck to my pulmonary artery, far to close to my

Recurrent Adenocarcinoma is now Stage IIIB
So I was scheduled to begin radiation on 11/18, but the week before, I reported pain in upper chest and back and some dysphagia along with a cough. A PET scan revealed a new lymphadenopathy above my clavicle. Also a suspicious mass-like growth above and adjacent to the very hypermetabolic subcarinal

Last chance saloon
My husband was diagnosed with nsclc in November 2018. He has since had chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He had a good response to the radiotherapy but at the scan results we learnt that he had 2 new suspected metastasis. 3 months later we were told he had a tumour in his other lung and also his liver.

Searched here for "Embelin" and found nothing
Yet, Embelin or Vidanga sounds interesting. 1) "Embelin-Induced Apoptosis of Human Prostate Cancer Cells Is Mediated through Modulation of Akt and β-Catenin Signaling" (2015). "... Embelin, isolated as the active component of the fruit of Embelia ribes Burm, is one of the important small molecular inhibitors

PSMA GALLIUM PET SCAN
Met with my University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center RO last week. She said that the experimental scan that I paid out of pocket for at UCLA "was now the state of the art" scan for locating PC. In my case it was post op, pre ADT, pre radiation therapy. Results, thank God, was only localized

Advice for men who are about to start hormone treatment for metastatic prostate cancer?
I'm writing to request advice about what tests you would recommend I should get before and during hormone treatment, which I probably will begin sometime in the near future. The treatment will probably begin with Casodex and then add Lupron. I have an appointment early Wednesday morning with my urological

I rang the bell!
Finished the Radiation Therapy! I've made friends with all the girls (and guys, but they weren't so interested in selfies) in the department - we've had lots of banter about Santa - "I've been good" - "you're on the wrong list", so I decided to make it a little more memorable. Santa in the off season

I was so scared of taking Paclitaxol chemo, but it has been ok.
Hello, I had a mastectomy in April this year with additional removal of 6 lymph nodes. One aggregate deposit of .5, so my surgeon sent me to an oncologist for “possible radiotherapy and hormone treatment.” I am Triple Negative grade 3 stage 3. You cannot imagine the shock when she laid out her plans

An inhalable nanoparticulate STING agonist synergizes with radiotherapy to confer long-term control of lung metastases
Immunotherapy is providing tremendous promise in the new era of cancer treatment. Checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive T cell transfer therapy have shown improved survival in melanoma, non-small-cell lung cancer, and renal cell cancer patients1,2. However, only a fraction of patients benefit from immunotherapy
