Are Lymph nodes a filter?
Do lymph nodes simply act as a temporary filter to prevent cancer from spreading too far? I was curious about this because I have 4th stage prostate cancer, and my Lymph had swelled to the size of a golfball. When I took the ADT, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared

I got some doubts about the know-how of my oncologist
I met with my oncologist last Friday and either I am confused or she is. I am open for both scenario. :) This post is sort of a follow-up on another I did back in August: https://healthunlocked.com/advanced-prostate-cancer/posts/149892314/need-help-in-understanding-psa-level-recurrence-after-treatment

12 months post HDR Brachytherapy

side effects on Anastrazole
I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 2019 and I'm still feeling very tired and breathless and can't do much at all without a rest, is this the norm?

BAT Patient Guide
I was re-reading Dr. Denmeade's BAT Patient Guide (well worth checking out) and came across the following quote near the end. Thus far, Denmeade seems to have done his own, smaller trials. "A larger randomized study comparing overall patient survival following treatment with sequential BAT → Xtandi

Prostate cancer but normal PSA?
HI All. I had my first ever PSA at the age of 62 and it came in at over 26. I took a repeat and it came in at 25, then a week later I took another and it was 29. I had a biopsy that came back positive (cancer in 11 of 12 samples) and even though both my CT and bone. However, they indicated that since

Mr Geoff Lloyd
Diagnosed in 2010 with advanced PC. Prostatectomy in 2011 followed by the "all clear". PSA refused to disappear and so RT followed. PSA still present and PC nodules found in my lung in 2021. I then had a 6 session course of chemotherapy and have been on Abiaterone and Demoxosone drugs ever since.Nodules

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the

BAT trial
With Xtandi failing and my metastasizes not PSMA avid enough for Lutetium my MO referred me to the Kinghorn Cancer Centre in Sydney to be assessed for a clinical trial involving BAT and Carboplatin (chemo). I am now in the trial and have had my first testosterone injections plus the carboplatin infusion

PSA Risen in Last 6 months
Have been on here a week ago, explaining that my husband (who was diagnosed 10years ago) has now been diagnosed with Gastroporesis, so not eating much due to constant nausea and vomiting. We are due to see his Urologist in 2 weeks time, so had the dreaded PSA blood test. It had been almost undetectable

CRISPR: hopes and research
I will keep you posted, also because it's a very fascinating technique that could potentially solve many health problems (and of course be used for evil...but that's not CRISPR fault, it's a fault in our brain!...which obviously CRISPR cannot fix!)

1st PSA Post SBRT + ADT: A Bounce?
I had a diagnosis of Gleason 3+4, probable ECE; Decipher .63. Received 5 Fraction SBRT at MSKCC (Dr. Zelefsky) in early January of this year. 6 months of ADT (Orgovyx) ended May 23, 2023. At the end of ADT, my PSA was <0.05 and Testosterone was 4. My first PSA Test was last Wednesday at Penn Medicine

ET: Changing from HU to Jakafi or an Interferon treatment
Hello everyone, I'd be really grateful for any guidance / advice on the following: ET / JAK2 were diagnosed 10 years ago following a stroke (fortunately without serious consequences) and I was put on HU plus Aspirin. Amazingly I had no side-effects (apart from a 'rash' on my lower legs after about

does having endo mean I am at high risk for ovarian cancer?
hi! I an 26 and I have recently been diagnosed with moderate endometriosis. I am having a hard time coming to terms with it all and I consulted dr Google. I came across studies that show endo is a precursor to ovarian cancer and increases risk. I already have health anxiety however now I have gotten

delayed reconstruction
I had a subdural haemorrhage in may 2023 removing most of the right side of my scull even encroached my forehead that’s some 10 months ago now. I was supposed to receive reconstructive surgery and have titanium implant to protect the sensitive area where my skin is my only protection to my brain. That

Genetic Testing?
Does anyone have an experience to share about getting genetic testing done on your biopsy samples? I'm interested in three tests: (1) a DECIPHER test, (2) a full gene sequencing of tumor DNA and RNA (e.g., at Claris Labs), and (3) the Artera AI analysis of digitized pathology slides. Also, if anyone

Update finally on treatment
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I am finally on treatment, it took nearly 4 months from dx to treatment (due to moving from South Carolina to Seattle area). I am on Ibrance (Dec. 13th) and letrozole (Nov. 16th). And I am on palliative care for pain management since I have neuropathy in my left arm and hand

Update following meeting with MO
For those following my journey, I had a face-to-face meeting with my MO today and learnt a few things I didn't know. Firstly, the genetic test of the liver tumour the NHS do only tests for BRCA - no other genes. The reason appears to be that the only treatment they would offer is a Parp inhibitor so
