my 58 y/o partner diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer in mediastinum with lymph node involvement and bone mets
hi there. Not really sure what to ask as this is such a huge shock as it has been so quick. However, after much hassle and pushing for tests the above diagnosis was made. We were told they may not give chemo due to his deranged bloods and liver function tests. However, if they do decide it’s platinum

Chemo for Pelvic Lymph Nodes
Hi all, When I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer 3.5 years ago, I had small mets scattered on my spine and mets in prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. The ADT has eliminated the spine mets, but the lymph nodes continue to grow. Will Chemo kill the lymph node mets or is it more effective for

Relation between reduction on blood thinning meds and reduction in GFR at the same time.
My GFR dropped to 51 after finishing my chemo and a change from anticoagulant injections to 10 mg per day apixaban 2 years ago. Had a DVT whilst undergoing chemo even though i tried to stay active. Four months ago my apixipan was reduced again to 5mg a day. My GFR has gone down to 41 not long after

Other Gleason 8 guys, I see in studies, research and in on going trials, Radical Prostatectomy shows better over all survival
On another site yana, ( you are not alone, a prostate survival story site) a site of survival stores all the Gleason 8 with Radiology Prostatectomy, have longer survival, some guys are still alive after 10, 12 years and I talk to a few that actually had RP after metastatic spread… There are now

Lu-177 as SOC vs Clinical Trial
Many thanks to all contributors! Since I've now just had my 16th cabazitazel/carboplatin chemo treatment, we're looking at options and working on Lu-177. I'm curious that, since Lu-177 is now FDA approved and is Standard Of Care, is there an advantage to seeking a clinical trial vs receiving it as

Finally, my MO's treatment plan:, no Triplet Therapy. Let's do Eligard, XTANDI, Radiation, XGEVA
After waiting for two months to get a CT guided bone-biopsy and the results, my MO has discussed her best treatment option as follows: Eligard, XTANDI, Radiation - and XGEVA Her rationale is that my metastatic "load" isn't big enough to warrant chemo since it's only in the bones, not in any other organs

Chemo/Pluvicto or Clinical Trial?
I have stage 4, mcrpc with mets to pelvic lymph nodes and prostate. ADT (Firmagon and Zytiga) kept PSA undetectable for ~2.5 years, then PSA started to rise. I had radiation to prostate in March of this year, which did not help. I started a clinical trial in October at NYU (LAVA 1207 immunotherapy)

Non secreting PSA - How often will PC be monitored
Hi all, my husband has just completed chemotherapy and he will have scans middle of January and will start radiotherapy beginning of February. My concern is how he will be monitored as he’s non secreting. His PSA was within normal limits when he was diagnosed with APC but did drop when treatment

Pluvicto increases radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) before chemo
This is the early topline results from the

trial. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04689828 It tested whether giving Pluvicto increases radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in men who: (1) have failed one of the second-line hormonals (abiraterone, enzalutamide, darolutamide

When a surgeon says he "got it all," it doesn't mean he did
It just means margins [i]seem[/i] to be clear, pending pathology report, and the surgeon has no way of knowing if microscopic spread has occurred. Good article in the Washington Post. It may be behind a paywall, so I'll paste it here: "It’s a common scene: A patient recovering from cancer surgery speaks

Mastecomy tomorrow update and new question
I would like to thank all of you who wished me well with my surgery a couple of weeks ago. I was humbled by the sheer number of you sending me such caring, encouraging messages. What a gift to receive just prior to my surgery! My surgery went well and the healing is much less painful than my dislocated

Husband with Advanced Prostrate cancer.
My husband has been fighting adv prostrate cancer for 4 years now. I have never heard of this red meat as part of treatment. As we get older we are advised to avoid too much red meat in our diets at least thats what I have always been led to believe. We are in the UK. His treatment was 6 courses of Chemo

Should my dad continue docetaxel? He seems weakening so much.
My Dad with mHSPC (GS8 and PSA 50) and we found this in June 2022. ADT was first treated in July and Docetaxel was started in Aug. After the 5th injection of docetaxel, my dad at the age of 75 seems very weak. The PSA drop from initial 50 to 0.28 before the 5th docetaxel. The first 2 docetaxel seems
