A warrior’s journey, QOL, wisdom?
From initial diagnosis through every lab test, imaging study, and treatment decision, this journey took enormous physical, emotional and spiritual fortitude. No matter the course or the length, hold your loved ones close, continue to plan adventures, and never give up hope. My husband used to say “

Anecdotal, but running could boost immunity
I am reading a lovely book of essays called These Precious Days by Ann Patchett. In the title essay a friend of the author is taking part in a clinical trial, having chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. As you will know, Chemo destroys white blood cells which provide immunity, so you have to have a high

Suboxone works!
As I stated in my first post, in May, 2023, I have had severe RLS for many years. I suffered augmentation after taking 4 mg Mirapex daily. In September, 2023, my sleep study doctor, at The University of Michigan, prescribed Suboxone. Also known as Buprenorphine and Naloxone 2 mg/0.5 mg. It is a sublingual

In vivo: nanocarriers to deliver precision chemotherapy

Accuracy of PSMA PET scan?
What would you venture to guess is the accuracy of the PSMA PET scan? How many of you showed "no spread" with your PSMA scan, but then learned via surgery or otherwise that there WAS spread which wasn't detected with the PSMA scan? And, how much better is the new Posluma scan vs Pylarify? My husband

Pluvicto Question
Hi Fellow Warriors! Six months of Taxotere failed miserably. After 8 rounds, I was done. After chemo, my second PSMA-PET showed additional bone mets and a spread to the lymph nodes. My MO told me I was a good candidate for Pluvicto, so, three months after finishing Taxotere, I started that therapy

Dutasteride Reduces Tumor Volume by 30% after 6 months.
This chart compares prostate cancer tumor volume measured by MRI, at baseline and at 6 months, comparing placebo to Dutasteride. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The cohort included Low and Intermediate Risk men, GS-6-7, baseline PSA = 6-7, median age 64 y.o,

CGA and urogram
Hi All good advisers. Have been on pred for CGA since July 2023, starting at 60mg. now at 12 mg with very slow taper. I am having a kidney urogram this April. I am also on metformin 3 x daily 500 mg. I have read that I should stop taking metformin before this procedure. How many days before should

borderline tumor
Hi, my consultant can see a 2.2cm cyst on my ovary that he said might be a borderline tumor. Needless to say I am worried, what are the chances of the tumor being actual cancer? Does anyone know how accurate an ultrasound is? They are doing an MRI soon but I am going out of my mind with worry.

Faslodex et ses effets secondaire
J'ai été opérée d'un cancer du sein en 2018 et traitée par chimio et radiothérapie ensuite, j'ai reçu de l'anastrozol pour 7 ans.

Bilateral frontal calvarial metastases
Has anyone in the forum experienced bilateral frontal calvarial metastases associated with their PCa? I recently had a brain MRI where this metastases was identified. The assessing physicians impression was that there is no worrisome parenchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement and did not recommend any

I take 3000 a day and I weigh 135 lbs. My regime is 7 days on and 7 days off. However I started with 3500 and that really affected my hands and they lowered my dosage. I am still having challenges with my hands but it’s not bad. They get extremely dry and crack, so I try to keep them moisturized

Temporary stoppage of Ibrutinib
I need to stop IB one week pre/post surgery. Today is day 3. Has anyone started feeling reversal symptoms? I’m feeling more fatigued. Hoping my lymph nodes issues don’t return. Just curious.

Advice? Anyone taking Herceptin Perjeta and Faslodex? And bye Ibrance
Hi everyone. My onc switched me off ibrance and Exemastane bc initial breast tumor is growing and has become resistant to these meds. I knew like all of us here that first line of treatment would end sometime (almost 4 years) but I’m really nervous about this new normal I’m entering into with 3 week

Princess of Wales
Many of you will have seen the Princess of Wales is having preventative chemotherapy for cancer. It must have been very difficult for her to speak about when still trying to digest the information herself. I rarely tell anyone I am suffering from a cancer, I usually say I have a bone marrow disease.
