Why no maintenance medication?
I was diagnosed with stage 3C1, grade 3 endometrial cancer October 2022 and had surgery, chemo and 25 sessions external radiotherapy. I haven't been put on maintenance medication to prevent recurrence. Is this usual? Are others in this position? I live in the Uk.

clinical trails for metastatic castrate resistant pc
It appears my husband may have become castrate resistant. PSA has risen from undetectable <.1 to now .2. We speak with oncologists on Wednesday. I believe he might have the possibility of radiation as a treatment bc he was oliogometastic at diagnosis 15 months ago. He had chemo along with hormones

1st reccurence and a 1 year prognosis
my mum is currently tolerating her second line of chemo after a ‘significant’ reccurence just under a year after frontline. Her oncologist has supported her medical retirement and wrote her prognosis is less than a year. How can this possibly be :(

Was Chemo "Successful"?
I just had my first PSA test after waiting to allow the results to mean something, after 10 rounds of doxytaxel. I was supposed to wait three months but for convenience pushed it by a week. I was hoping for a close to 0 PSA but that is not the case. I see my oncologist in a little more than a week

Good Morning, I am a newbie. I live in Suffolk, near Ipswich and was wondering whether there were any others near me who would be interested if I were to set up a local support group to meet up. I had stage 3 ovarian in September 2021. I was operated on and had 6 lots of chemo. To date I have

Any tips welcome on how to tolerate chemo
As you know, my 88 year old warrior of a father, has battled his cancer HARD for 16 years. He has been optimistic despite all of this, and has always KNOWN he can beat this. A great attitude to have. He has declined quite a bit after having a spontaneous fracture of his pelvis 8 weeks ago - after 5

New MRI finding
Yesterday I had an MRI due to some back pain. I had an MRI, pet scan in February and clean CAT scan in June. Plus all of my labs have been perfect. Now they’re telling me that they see a 2.1 CM metastasis on my L2 area of my spine. I am a bit freaked out but I’m trying to wrap my head around this.

chemo
I have been told to strongly consider
Chemotherapy
both Intravenous and oral: oxaliplatin and cepecitabine. I am looking for anyone who has had this
chemotherapy
and any feedback (I understand everyone reacts differently) as I am scared and don’t know anyone who has.

Hello strangers.
Hello, just thought that having been banned from the Cllforum years ago for no good reason, I would catch up with what has been happening to some of the people I liked so much. (I was banned for complaining about the ALT-MED stuff that used to appear so regularly there, and the fact that it was treated
