Thank you Dear Friends.
Dear Friends, firstly I want to apologise for not replying individually to all wonderful people on this forum who responded to my last post. The after effects of Mondays chemo and the pain from my cancer are at the moment exhausting. My grateful thanks to you all for your uplifting, caring and understanding

Now on ADT, what to add?
My medical oncologist is now suggesting adding either 6 cycles of
chemotherapy
(Doxetaxel) or Abiraterone. I have also been looking at adding either Enzalutamide (Xtandi), Darolutamide or even Apalutamide.

Scanxiety Series 3 Episode I (?)
Hello everyone Just had a scan ordered by oncologist because ca125 jumped 10 points in September to 45. Tbh it has edged up every month on Olaparib (I have been on it since May 2021). i am really struggling with the idea that despite being BRCA 1 the maintenance treatment probably hasn’t really worked

Scalp Cooling Saves Hair in 75% of Cases
One reason for lack of use is the perceived burden on infusion center resources based on the need to perform prolonged scalp cooling both before and especially after the initation and completion of each
chemotherapy
session.

Hi everyone, it is with a heavy heart that I tell you I lost my darling partner this week from , lung and brain cancer. He was diagnosed in June 21, and was doing amazingly well, had chemo and immunotherapy for the first 7 months, then it all stopped working, and the cancer overtook his brain. We did

Next treatment options
Greetings, I've completed my 13th session of cabazitaxel/carboplatin + daily prednisone which started in Jan of this year.

I'm a 10 year survivor...
It was 10 years ago today that I had an open Thoracotomy to remove Upper right lobe , my tumour was almost 7cms NSCLC ,stage 2b .. followed by Adjuvant Chemo and all that entails. I can't really express how blessed I feel how lucky I have been and how happy that I can share this milestone on this

Struggling a bit
Hi, I was diagnosed in July with 1C Mucinous OC with a few clear cells also found. It was a bit of a shock diagnosis (for consultant as well) as after bloods and MRI etc, nothing appeared sinister. The original affected ovary was only found by chance (random unrelated question to GP and no symptoms

Mucousitis or Chemo Mouth! Ugh!
Yep, got it! Sorry but I feel like 💩! Started Affinitor a little over a week ago along with Faslodex and woke up two days ago with the worst tongue and cheek (haha) pain ever. Swelling. A lesion! I feel as if little knives are cutting inside my mouth. Difficult to talk or eat. As anxious as I get I

HU wait time to take effect
Hi good folks! In your experiences, how long does one wait for the chemo (hydroxyurea) to significantly lower the platelets? 74 y/o male with ET/jac2. I started 500mg 2X/day 8 days ago. Had blood work done yesterday and down from 664 to 579. If the threshold is 430, then I have a long way to go. I

Opinion?
Newly diagnosed, Gleason 9, PSA about 40 at biopsy, aggressive, PET shows low burden, two bone mets. At my age 82, although health "very good", Onc wants to avoid chemo. Just started on Casodex and will add Lupron, until PSA under control then add (switch to?) Zytiga and radiation to clean up prostate

4th surgery
Hernia and post Ovarian surgery. Hi everyone, I had Ovarian cancer surgery Aug 2019 which included the bowel being scraped, the tumour had attached itself to the bowel, followed by 6 rounds of chemo. Easter 2019 had a bowel blockage, it cleared with fasting and intravenous fluids. Another blockage

Crossroads ahead
Hi, after being diagnosed with SCLC in August this year, I've been undergoing both immunotherapy and
chemotherapy
since then. At the end of October I'm due for a 4th chemo cycle review to see how treatment is working and make a decision on what's next in terms of treatment.

Pluvicto and PSA
My husband’s first dose of Pluvicto was 8/11/22. His PSA at that time was 2.29. His scans were 3/3 PSMA expression score, with more disease than just a month earlier PSMA scan. His second dose was 9/27. His PSA has been steadily climbing and today it is 6.13. He feels great. The best he has felt in
