Hi, has anyone else found that laxative treatments containing Macrogol increases their pain and bloating considerably? I have just been put on this and Mebeverine, but am still in a lot of pain, which seems worse when I take Macrogol. Thanks

Successful Pluvicto Treatment
I completed six Pluvicto treatments in December 2023 and returned to Mayo in Rochester on January 31, 2024 for a Choline Pet scan to see if it would reveal any non-PSMA PCa.

Possible NHS misdiagnosis saying clear for HPV when private home test says positive with variant 16 (the test and smear were 14 days apart)
I have tested HPV positive for 2 smears a year apart, the last one was Oct 2023. So I went for my third on 18 Jan this year and have just been given the all clear and told it will repeated in 5 years (which I doubt as I will be 71 then). HOWEVER, I had already done a home test with Medicines Online

Uncertainty is the worst
Hello!To cut a long story short, I had Hodgkins lymphoma in 2005 and therefore am at higher risk of breast cancer. A CT scan showed that something in my right breast took the dye. The follow mammogram is not showing anything but I have very dense breast tissue. The right breast is now a whole cup size

Scared and Feeling Helpless
Let me start by saying that it was my intention to wait for an official diagnosis for my dad before I started posting here. I found this group recommended on the Prostate Cancer Reddit Forum. I’ve been really struggling lately with absolute utter fear and lack of control (more on that later). My dad

Niraparib Time Line?
Hi ladies I am a bit confused re the length of time you are kept on PARP treatment and what happens when you stop. I have been on Niraparib for over two years now, my oncologist said they will review after three years. I haven’t any problems, my bloods and CA 125 have always been good. I read so many
