Diclofenac for neuropathy/HFS caused by Xeloda
hello everyone I suffer from hand and foot syndrome and neuropathy so I have been looking for ways to ease the pain. I have been on Doxil (IV chemo every 4 weeks, Doxorubicin) since June 2023 and the pain has been hard physically and emotionally. Yesterday my oncologist’s nurse practitioner mentioned

Shortage of Chemo drugs
I just thought it would be wise to post that in the United States at the moment, and probably world wide, there is a shortage of key chemo drugs at this time. Platins are short and being judiciously given when doctors can get them. Xeloda (Capecetabine) is in short supply right now as well. For anyone

Does triplet Therapy still work if you've failed Enza?
As most posters know the UK doesn't allow for other 'mides' once you've failed Xtandi (as I have done) But I am considering buying Abi from India to add to my Lupron and Docetaxel. Has anyone had success with Abi after Xtandi failure? Is the triplet therapy likely to work for me? And does it have to

Hi just thought would say hi as not been on for awhile 😊 I’m considering applying for PIP … I’ve had ET now for 27 years CALR… chemo for 22 years. I’ve had to reduce my hours and leave my job as an NHS Paramedic… fatigue was killing me and just had to leave. I’m a trainer now working part time, money

After your endometrial cancer diagnosis, did you do any research? If so, where did you find the most useful information about your cancer?
I was diagnosed in 2015 with Stage 1A Grade 3 endometrial cancer. I had a robotic hysterectomy, with BSO and removal of 16 lymph nodes, followed by 6 rounds chemo and 5 of brachytherapy. After chemo, I was followed with CT scans every 6 months until 2018. From that point, I have not had a recurrence

For those who have followed me, my pc has taken a backseat to my Glio tumor. I had SBRT and Eligard for my PC in June after my 2 yr vaca and that seems to be addressed.

Interesting PSA observation
For my prostate cancer journey, please see my bio. In 06/2023 I was also diagnosed with testicle lymphoma, maybe as a side effect of earlier radiation. Testicle has been removed, PET/CT & co showed no other evidence of cancer. So I perform four cycles of R-CHOP chemo regimen. Why I post this here? After
