Verzenio
I have stage 3 lobular cancer. So far had surgery, radiation and currently on Letrozole. I am considered high risk. Did not do chemo because it is not always effective with lobular cancer. Oncologist wants to put me on Verzenio but I am reluctant due to side effects. I am 68 and a full time teacher and

Having pectus carinatum and PC would radiotherapy or chemotherapy affect the strength of the rib cage structure?
I have had radiotherapy but would that or
chemotherapy
affect the bone strength of my rib cage structure? I have the final results of the radiotherapy [and blood tests] due on 24th March.

Do Sulforaphane, Melatonin, and Cayenne Pepper work?
I've been a lurker for a while. First time post. I have had a radical prostatectomy, chemo (docetaxel - 6 infusions 3 weeks apart), radiation (38 doses) and Lupron (18 months). I am done with all treatment for now. PSA minimum was 0.02, now at 0.04. I've been reading a lot about sulforaphane (BROQ)

Those being treated with Eligard, Erleada and Docetaxel
Have been taking Eligard and Erleada, my Doctor wants to add Docetaxel Chemo. Would like to hear about others being treated the same way!

Think I can share my success story now
With that said, I was briefly a bit of a regular in the “Suicidal” thread on another Tinnitus support forum which is probably a good indicator of how I was feeling when my tinnitus initially worsened due to Cisplatin
chemotherapy
.

Be Careful Out There (UK)
As temperatures fall in UK I listened to warnings about falls on ice and made a mental note. I have been trying to walk every day while on chemo (carbo/Caelyx for 3rd recurrence). i was about 200 metres from home yesterday when I looked down and realised the pavement which had looked fine was actually

continuing back pain
I was diagnose with 2b Ovarian Cancer in April 22. I had surgery and 6 rounds of Chemo. I have a very supportive team . I have had an MRI , CT and spinal x-ray all have shown degenerative changes to my spine. There is no evidence of recurrence. My CA125 is 13. The problem is I’m consumed with anxiety

What to do?
Hi All, At the end of August 2023 I completed 8 rounds of docetaxel. On 9/13/23 my PSA was 5.7, 10/30/23 8.25 and 11/27/23 it’s now 16.72. This year has been a shit show. I know my MO will put me on pluvicto. Here’s my quandary: I am a single gay man. Parents gone. No siblings. All I have to really

Sudden onset of severe leg pain
Yesterday my husband was strolling about the house as usual. Last night he experienced debilitating pain in his right thigh to the point he collapsed when trying to put weight on it, and then could not sleep because of the pain. He has needed a walker for even a few steps. We visited his PCP today

BAT trial update
I commenced the trial about 2 months ago and I have now had 2 cycles of treatment consisting of testosterone injections and carboplatin infusions. 5 days ago I had my first CT and bone scans and the trial leader tells me my 3 detectable rib metastases are 'stable'. The stable assessment is good enough

Can anyone help with iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel Posted a couple of days ago but hoping for a better response this time I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low,

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
When that no longer worked, he started first-line
chemotherapy
. He just completed his sixth cycle. His PSA dropped until the sixth infusion, when it rose slightly from 1.3 (his lowest number). What can he expect going forward? More infusions?

Rising PSA
Hi, have updated my profile to reflect recent changes. A gradual increase in PSA (1.2) with the prospect of changes to treatment if it continues at the current rate and gets near to 4. The oncologist is suggesting probably chemo but I would like to know more about other options before that discussion

Prognosis Stage
Then lung cancer last year, was cleared but its now returned.He is currently receiving Immunotherapy as
chemotherapy
wasn't helping. My question is why when we ask the consultant or her Registrar for a prognosis they don't know, we haven't been told what stage it's at.

How to combat fatigue and low energy from Docetaxel treatments?
Hi all, My dad is currently going through
chemotherapy
treatment for stage 4 prostate cancer (see bio for full details). He had his 3rd chemo treatment one week ago. He is feeling extremely tired and very low energy (I.e. he gets tired from even going on short 5 minute walks).
