Disappointing recent Consultantation with Neurologist. Disregarded all the information I provided about ferritin and iron / RLS

13 year Battle with Stage 4 PC
This is a long post - patience is advised. My warrior husband passed away on Nov 19 after a 13 year battle with Prostate Cancer. He was originally diagnosed in 2008 with a Gleason of 3+4 and PSA of 35 at age 59. He had a radical prostatectomy followed by 34 radiation treatments. His PSA remained undetectable

Removal of greater number of lymph nodes during RP associated with better survival
Removal of greater numbers of lymph nodes during radical prostatectomy for intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer is associated with improved survival, according to data presented at the 22nd annual meeting of the Society of Urologic Oncology. In a propensity score analysis, removal of 10 to 19

NCCN re-revises low-risk guidelines
This is probably a tempest in a teapot. NCCN, one of the top organizations that establishes the standard-of-care in the US, has once again changed its low-risk guidelines. It caused a bit of a storm earlier this year when they removed the word "[i]preferred[/i]" after "active surveillance" for low-risk

MBC Baggage
Excited off to Gretna Green in Scotland tomorrow to take our renewal of wedding vows before Christmas. We had to laugh at our baggage and oh how it has changed since our honeymoon baggage there many moons ago. My suitcase now exists of Ibrance, Adcal and painkillers if needed, hopefully not.

Need help to fight GP
At the end of the week I will finally have a telephone consultation with a GP through having a good moan to a practice nurse when I went for my B12 injection.

Increased tumor marker after radiotherapy
Afternoon all, I am currently on ibrance 75mg and letrozole. I had a mastectomy in June and radiotherapy which ended 20th August. On 20/8 my tumor marker was steadily going down to 41 but has now gone up to 51. Am somewhat anxious, could the radiotherapy have caused the marker to rise? Any comments gratefully
