colonoscopy query
I’m scheduled to endure a colonoscopy on 16th January. We are booked on a flight to Thailand on 1st February (14 hours) . Guidelines say two weeks should pass before flight so in theory ok. However this is a trip of a lifetime for us, much delayed and all booked before this cancer worry. I’ve no idea

Hi all, went to clinic today and as I suspected, my adenoid cystic carcinoma has metastersised to my lungs. I am told I am being refered to the head & neck cancer in Liverpool where I sent 21yrs ago! Still no idea of treatment until I go for my appointment whenever that may be! Frustrating 3 months on

AML update
Hello MPN friends, I thought I would post an update on my AML. I am now having Azacitadine and Venetoclax as an in-patient and so far so good - I just have red marks around the injection sites and constipation. I am otherwise well. Shockingly, my husband has been diagnosed with a melanoma just last

90% of skin cancer is preventable!
1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women will be diagnosed with skin cancer in the UK. With up to 90% of cases being preventable it seems ludicrous that the estimated annual burden on the NHS is £500 million!!!!! It’s not rocket science! It’s a no-brainer - Education is key to combatting the disease and SAVING

Does biopsy spread cancer?
I've been diagnosed with Stage 2/3 PC. I wonder whether biopsies, by piercing the prostrate wall, allow cancer sells to migrate outside the prostate. Certainly e-coli can be pushed into it, since I got sepsis from my directed biopsy. What is the danger of METS being introduced to organs outside it with

interesting Xeloda trial
Hi friends, I listened to a presentation summarizing reports from ASCO 2023 related to MBC, and what really interested me was that for Xeloda, a fixed dose taken one week on/one week off, produced as good results as current standard of care with fewer side effects. Also: cream form of Voltaren/diclofenac

Docetaxel not working so stopped
I promised I would update you after my scan to see how the chemo was progressing. Well, the main reason for the chemo was that spots had appeared in my liver. Last week's CT scan showed that the spots have grown "significantly" so the chemo is not working. Also, my liver function blood test results -

HIFU 2023 article does not seem positive
This article from early 2023 does not seem positive on HIFU. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00345-023-04352-9 I have a friend looking at HIFU in the setting of a clinical trial. He's Gleason 6 with just 1 of 12 portions of his prostate affected. Technically, he could do active surveillance

Promising, especially for people with LBD mutation: NEJM Evidence publishes results from Phase I/IIa CYPIDES trial with ODM-208
"In phase I, 20 out of the total 47 patients had AR LBD mutation. In phase IIa, all 45 patients had AR LBD mutation. A decrease in PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels of 50% or more occurred in 14/19 (73.7%) patients with AR LBD mutation and 2/23 (8.7%) AR-wild-type patients in phase I, and in 24/

Confusing news from oncologist

May be doing IV chemo for the first time. Need tips - really freaked out!
Hi, so I’ve successfully avoided doing IV chemo since 2019. But due to bone mets I just had hip surgery and the pills I’ve been on are not working. I was told by the surgeon 2 days ago that I need systemic treatment asap or I’ll die. I’m having a petscan tomorrow and depending on how it looks, I’ll

Advice for treatment of liver metastases.
Hi Ladies I finished chemo in February for second recurrence. Unfortunately my CA125 was rising, was 9 the 27 now 55 and it's a good indicator for me that something is happening. Had a CT and it shows one tumor 2.4cms in my liver. All clear otherwise. Lots of emotions. Disappointed but relieved it's
