Tamoxifen switch to Femara (letrozole)
Also, I am wondering if anyone with HR+/HER2- stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma with no lymph node involvement removed through lumpectomy followed by 3 weeks of
radiotherapy
has just chosen not to take the anti-estrogen meds and what led you to that decision. thanks for an insights!

Amar Kishan, MD, on Optimal Sequencing of ADT With RT in Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer
In men who received prostate-only
radiotherapy
(PORT), concurrent/adjuvant ADT was associated with improved metastasis-free survival (10-year benefit 8.0%, HR 0.65, P<0.0001) and overall survival (HR 0.69, P<0.0001).

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

Rash from RT?
My husband is on Radiation treatment 31 of 45. Diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4+3), PSA 4.9 with all indications that it is contained in the prostate, negative bone scan, etc;. My question is, he is getting an itchy rash and some puffiness in his pubic area just above his privates. Has anyone experienced

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.

TURP and Prostatectomy
I am looking at a prostatectomy, but I had a TURP 8 yrs ago. How does this change the risk factors and my potential quality of life for a prostatectomy? If I did radiation therapy, they would like me to have another TURP to remove some of the prostate that is growing into the bladder before starting

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.

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

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.

Groin pain
I had intense radiation therapy 6 months ago and all seems to be going well; however, a dull pain (sometimes pretty intense) has developed in my right groin. I can’t think of any way that I might have injured this area, and I’m wondering if there is any correlation with my treatment.

IBRT/SBRT Radiation and ADT
I have heard so many horrifying things here about adverse reactions to those who were prescribed ADT in conjunction with or shortly after radiation treatment. Has anyone forgone taking ADT therapy or does that ruin any progress made from radiation? I have read there is no evidence ADT actually improves

PSA increasing during radiation treatment
Hi all, Please refresh my memory. Can PSA increase during radiation treatment due to cancer cells dying off? Last month 0.14 and today 0.26. On day #4 of radiation treatment. Thanks!
