Does anyone have experience of Lenvatinib as a treatment for liver cancer?
After a scan I was told that I had one large tumour and several smaller ones, that the large tumour was near the main artery and was of a size that ruled out conventional treatment, liver transplant,
radiotherapy
, embolisation or any of the current methods of dealing with the tumour.

Follow up on new bone met
Follow up; starting 2 weeks of radiation therapy on the new bone met, It is one centimeter and not causing any pain yet so treating it and a small area around it on femur in case of micro mets. Radiation Oncologist said that SBRT is an option but harder to get approved and best used to direct only

Update on Nuclear Scan and where I am at now.
First: thank you all for the kind support I have received since - Much appreciated. To the Nuclear Scan ordered by my GP for suspect spread from bladder cancer to the bones. I got a call from my GP surgery today telling me Dr wanted to let me know, NO bone cancer found. Thant's one worry gone.

Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment? I am faced with starting a six dose regimen of taxotere now since ADT does not seem to be working according to PSMA scans. My psa remains at 1.8 even though the

New bone met
I have a consult with radiation oncologist on Wednesday and wanted to ask if any of you have had very targeted radiation therapy to one small new spot on bone when your systemic treatment (Ibrance and Letrozole) is still working on other mets. I saw there is SBRT and IMRT. Are these appropriate options

My PSA seems to be definitely on the move, latest is 0.11 up from 0.085 taken 3 months ago, full history is in my profile. I am sure SRT is now on the cards. There seems to be much to consider about dose (64-70Gy), target area (prostate bed with or without lymph nodes) and short term ADT, which is summarised

Final STAMPEDE results for Abi with/out Enza when starting ADT.
Although abiraterone-containing trials shared patients who received standard of care (control) with the
radiotherapy
trial, none were randomly assigned to the study drug groups so we are unable to comment on the interaction between
radiotherapy
and hormone intensification.

Next Move?
If you have minimal disease you could be a candidate for very localized
radiotherapy
which could control the disease for a reasonable time. Another approach would be to restart anti testosterone therapy which would need to be continued indefinitely.

Silicon Cock Rings and Blood In My Pee!
Do any of my fellow unfortunate PC travellers out there know if using a stretchy silicon cock ring could aggravate the post-RP scar tissue and radiation enhanced vascularity in my bladder neck/urethra so much so that I get blood in my urine. Been using fairly tight stretchy silicone rings for a few

radiotherapy
has just chosen not to take the anti-estrogen meds and what led you to that decision. thanks for an insights!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last March had surgery, chemo and
radiotherapy
. Towards end of chemo started with severe back pain which oncologist was great at following up. Long story short after pet scan, mri and bone scans then ultrasound they found a large complex cyst on my right ovary.

Aorto-caval lymph nodes
Has anyone had radiation treatment to the aorto-caval lymph nodes? I have mildly avid nodes there that are not responding to Lupron. My RO wants to treat the entire area, not just spot treat with Cyberknife. He seems confident he can safely treat the area.

hemochromatosis?
Can pelvic radiation therapy cause hemochromatosis? I went through 44 days of EBRT and six months later diagnosed with hemochromatosis which I've never had in my 73 years.

When the drugs don’t work
Where to begin… my poor Mum had her first hip replacement in 2007, but it broke and she had a revision in 2008. Unfortunately she was in more pain than ever, and they were about to write the pain off as psychological but thankfully she got referred to an Orthopaedic Specialist hospital who discovered
