Some questions answered, some answers questioned, and Chemotherapy scheduled.
I exchanged emails with the MO over the weekend regarding the combination trials of Docetaxel and Radium 223. Below is a portion of the exchange. Part 1 explains why there was no treatment for 90 days. Part 2 the Medical Oncologist paragraph talks about his familiarity with the Docetaxel/Radium 223

Advice sought: on four day high dose dexamethasone
I'm about to start four days of 40mg dexamethasone. Any advice as to how to best deal with this drug experience would be appreciated. What should I eat, not eat, do, not do? I really don't like speedy drugs but I'm hoping this will knock my platelets back into line. I will take the ten 4mg pills with

Preparation for Treatment Decisions 90 Days after Immunotherapy Stopped.
When I ran a business, I always prepared an agenda. I find that taking the time to write things down and review them sets the agenda and keeps meetings moving in a positive direction while avoiding the possibility that something important gets lost. The week before last, I exercised moderately a few

Wherever the evidence leads…
Ivermectin! I think that given the dilemma posed by CLL with regards to compromised immunity, I think we need to be open this option in light of the paper I have linked below and in the absence of any suitable alternative. If there are others that have recovered because of this drug, I want an unimpeded

SST SYNACHTEN TEST
Hi all, I feel bad for many years, got a bit improvement with my thyroid after hearing for years “it’s all in my head”. Now I know my adrenals respond unwel to t3 treatment which I know I need. I was rejected by all endocrinologists in the Netherlands, and went to Ukraine to try here. They have checked

High Dose Dexamethasone Pulse Treatment
Hello Everyone, As I stated earlier, I am newly diagnosed with ITP. I see most of us have had disappointing results with various treatments. I originally had a Count of 15 with no other symptoms except petechiae on my legs. My hematologist put me on a 4 day course of DEX 40mg per day x 4 days. After

Feeling Conflicted
My dad’s PSA has been doubling for quite some time now, he has PSA checkups every 3 months. It seems like Zytiga is failing/has failed. My dad’s PSA 11 months ago rose from 0.05 to 0.07. 6 months ago it went up to 0.11. Then 3 months ago it went up to 0.19. With today’s PSA checkup, his PSA rose to 0.34

The current status on third Pfizer COVID Booster
The CDC, the NIH and even Fauchi seem determined to run behind the curve of the best available information. But must face the facts of the need for a booster after six months. Perhaps it will become available by September? In the meantime on a personal note, my wife recovered smoothly and progressively

CAR-T follow-up at City of Hope for Prostate Cancer to Bone
They pulled me back into City of Hope hospital with high Iron levels after a CAR-T discharge from hospital. Treatment started working, lowering my PSA from 60 to 50, but high Ferritin (Iron) hit 6000 indicated t-cells could start attacking non-cancer places it shouldn't attack. Dr calmed it down with

Sadly, I haven't been well enough to write a proper blog post that's up to my standards, but am functioning well enough to give a quick update.

2WW, here we go again
This really is the worst part of it right!? Id happily take all the side effects from the stims again over this. Sadly, as expected, our 2nd cycle ended with a BFN. My bleeding started around 7/8 days after transfer and only got heavier. We started cycle 3 straight the way again. I couldnt wait, i

Ongoing updates--back pain, MRI, and AMG 509
I had MRIs done on the Lumbar, Thoracic, and Cervical spine. I ended up doing it at Jefferson Methodist Hospital. It took close to 4 hours and was an ordeal, but I managed to stay still and get very good images. The technician said he has never had anyone get through that long without moving or quitting

Zytiga with Dexamethasone or with Hydrocortisone?
Hello, I really appreciate your continuous sharing and supports since I joint this forum. We have many worries that we don't know who to ask, so we'll bother you again. The question is: My father should keep using 1000 mg zytiga + 0.5mg dexamethasone or switch from 0.5mg Dex to 30mg hydrocortisone. As

Zytiga with hydrocortison
Dear all, My dad just took a test of cortisol level at 7am and the result’s 1.5nmol/L (the lab’s threshold’s 133-537nmol/L.).

Try a Little Dexie !
If you are taking Prednisone for any reason see if your doctor will substitute Dexamethasone instead. they perform the same function but the Dexamethasone also can restore your apatite, relieve moderate pain, and generally make you feel better..It's worth trying..
