What type of skin cancer is it?
We have just been told my daughter has skin cancer in 3 areas, on her shoulder, chest and back, it is non melanoma we think, how do they decide if it is basal cell or squamous cell. She hasn’t seen a consultant yet but early stage skin doctor says the one on her shoulder requires biopsy and radiation

Hello I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer last september. Big pressure to have radiotherapy but I asked for a second opinion and then declined. I've been tamoxifen since January but my legs have turned purple and mottled. Also, my body feels soo cold all the time even when the weather is good.

Survival after radiotherapy vs. radical prostatectomy for unfavorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
New study below [1]. "RP {radical prostatectomy} was associated with higher survival when compared to EBRT {external beam radiation therapy} (HR = 2.30) and brachytherapy {BT} (HR = 2.9" but: "We found no statistically significant difference in survival between RP and EBRT+BT. " -Patrick [1] https:/

Week 8 & hit the wall
So I got to week 8 which I am pretty proud of since I was having radiotherapy in March but I seem to have hit a wall & whilst I made the 25 minutes in week 7 I have only managed the 28 minutes in week 8 - once & that was hard. I will try & keep going until I have completed this 3 consecutive times.

Trying to decide Active Surveillance vs other options
I'm new to this site and am looking for feedback on active surveillance vs radiation. I'm 57 years old and via normal checkups had an elevated PSA level that went from 2.6 in June 2017, to 3.2 last fall to 4.9 this past month. Based on the elevated trajectory of my PSA levels, it was recommended I

Duration of ADT until castration resistence
If you ask your doctor how long the ADT will work until castration resistence begins, he will tell you probably two to three years. That is what I also read in many studies. However, many patients are asked to do three years of ADT after their radiation therapy. Are you usually castration resistent

Finally a diagnosis
Mum has lung cancer absolutely devastated but keeping positive. It’s stage IV as it’s spread to her spine so unable to be cured. Initially told mum would need chemo, then radiotherapy on her spine but had an oncology appointment straight afterwards and they decided as the cancer was EGFR+ they are treating

First 10k race
Did Race for Life today which for me was a first 10k race . Managed to finish sub 70mins which was my goal . This time last year had just finished radiotherapy and hadn't run at all. C25K has been the best thing that has happened to me and the support here is Amazing.

Heading for Stereotactic Radiotherapy
It is worse since surgery and having taken a lot of advice I have opted for
stereotactic
radiotherapy
to the effected area which is being done in the next few weeks. I am not going on hormone treatment until we establish if the
stereotactic
radiotherapy
is successful in keeping the cancer at bay.
