Order of treatment?
My husband has been on Abiraterone for 5 months during which time his PSA has risen,. Before that he had had 6 rounds of Docetaxel which also saw his PSA rise. Having waited for 6 weeks to have a biopsy and get the results for neuroendocrine PC (he didn’t have it) his oncologist has said he can either

Hi I was deemed inoperable after 4 rounds of
chemotherapy
. I had a diagnostic camera, and was sent back to have 2 further
chemotherapy
treatments. During this time I decided to go for a second opinion with Professor Christine Fotopoulou, as she was recommended to me.

Xeloda after IV Chemo
Just wondering about Oral Xeloda after 6 rounds of IV Chemo didnt have the exact desired results we wanted. Wondering if there are times Xeloda achieved clear Margins on Liver Mets when IV Chemo didnt after 6rounds. Thanks for any input.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve
Also Happy Hump Day 😁 https://youtu.be/PBsjggc5jHM?si=JPeepmKsrlzyNL0E Silly Kaiser thinks that Abiraterone is chemo and won't mail it, so gotta go down to Bakersfield monthly to get it, but this time I brought Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts for the AIS Cancer Center Onco and Radiation staff.

Positiv result of cooling cap dependence on "the chemo drug"?
My friend is on Enhertu and she took the last two cycles cooling caps, the version with freezer. The result wasn't so good. Now she heard, that the reason for this could be the typ of chemo drug. Knows someone of you something about this? Or have somebody an idea if this could be possible? I'm looking

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one

I have an amazing ability to pick relevant podcasts while driving. Just had my blood work done in preparation of starting Pluvicto and not being able to choose wisely while driving I picked this podcast which i have heard before and have even advocated on this forum before. Dr Chetty is so brilliant

Chemotherapy again?
I completed 6 cycles of Docetaxel in March 22, I had a CT scan on 1-15-23 and on the 16th my MO requested pre-approval for docetaxel and was approved. I am currently on Lupron and Zometa and wondering if I am jumping to conclusions that there must have been something on my CT scan that prompted the request

anyone know how long chemo & radiation & effects remain in your body? Thx in advance.
I’m a year past these treatments. My oncologist said during treatment to stay off of vitamin E & C. Just wondering.

Olaparib? Chemo? or both ?
Hi All, Fathers latest PSA reading is 3.87 (up from 2.3 in 9/23) , he was switched from Enza to Abi last month but apparently it hasnt worked. He was also tested for germline mutations and found to be BRCA 2 +. His blood counts are relatively low with Hgb at 10.7 and RBC at 3.9 What are the options

Triplet Therapy Failed. Now what?
Doctor started with hormonal treatment while waiting for him to regain some strength, added Abiraterone (Zytiga) and Docetaxel
chemotherapy
as soon as his body could handle it effectively starting triplet therapy.

waiting for breast cancer index test results to see if continuing Anastrozole will help prevent recurrence. Diagnosed at age 60 w/IDC St1bn0 Oncoscore 33 so did 4 rounds of tc, radiation after lumpectomy. Did 18 mo of Tamoxifen and switched to Anastrozole due to liver changes and had gallbladder removed

The endo biopsy revealed cancer
The doctor sends me to do
chemotherapy
, but I don't want its side effects, I want to live the rest of my life healthy without help or pity, and I'm already alone anyway 🤭😥. Do you think I'm doing the right thing?

Lutetium 177 for "early" grade 4 pc or amino acid suppression ?
