Off topic Friday, late as usual.
I had a tough appointment with my oncologist last week. She told me that she anticipates that my current medication will control my stage IV cancer for the remainder of this year and possibly for the next. After that she has only chemotherapy (docetaxel) in her armoury. She thinks this might prove too

Capecitabine(Xeloda) dose change
I have been on Capecitabine for about 9 months at a dose of 2000 mg per day (2 weeks on 1 week off). My scans have shown good results with the last scan showing no progression. My question is, has anyone had experience with reducing dose to 2000 mg 1 week on then 1 week off? My Dr. Has suggested changing

Anyone have experience with Provenge? Especially on PSA tests?
For my history, I was diagnosted with Prostrate cancer in 2018. Now 70 years old. I had Surgery in late 2018 where they removed my prostrate and found cancer in 2 lymph nodes. I have had 2 salvage radiation sessions, which appeared to be successful. I have been on Lupron, essentially since surgery

Stem cell transplant starts on Monday
A bit of background - In October 2021 I had a rapid and florid relapse following the end of my Ibrutinib treatment in FLAIR so I was started on Acalabrutinib with no effect and also had investigations for Richter's. Tests showed that I was resistant to the currently available BTKi's (two synergistic

bowel obstruction
It looks like there’s no more options for me as I’ve been in hospital for a week with a bowel obstruction. HGSOC 3C. Had 2 lines chemo close together. Just had Carbo/gemcitabine but it made me so ill. Now I’m just waiting to see what happens. No food or drink. Any hints you brave ladies?

Postponing chemo because of radiation?
Hi all, My dads first radiation has been sheduled for June 21st. However his 3rd chemo is set for June 26th. When briefly speaking with his RO he mentioned that chemo would be postponed in order to do radiation. This confused a me a little bit as from my understanding the radiation would be for pain

A Wish Fulfilled, and a Legacy

The Arm Saga continues...to chemo or not to chemo
Eric's nerve damage and pain from his chemo leak over two weeks ago has been pretty severe - he's on Cymbalta for the nerve pain, and it's very sloooowly improving. It also kicked his butt - he had been bouncing back from his 3rd round pretty well - until he wasn't and the nerve pain came on with a roar
