Cramps! :(
I understand that crampy pain is quite common with IBS, and PRD is essentially
radiotherapy
-induced IBS, but it's never been this bad.

Help with Nocturia (night time urination)
Compared to others on this group, I have got off lightly with late side effects of

Has anyone experienced severe stomach cramps while taking Faslodex injections?
I recently started Faslodex treatment, about 5 days later these horrible pains started in my upper abdomen. I just wondered if this is due to injections or my Y 90 radiation treatment I had on May 26. Has anyone had these treatments together ? I would love any suggestions. Please share your advise or

AI could help cut waiting times for cancer by automating mark-up of patient scans prior to radiotherapy.
Doctors at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge aim to drastically cut cancer waiting times by using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate lengthy
radiotherapy
preparations. Planning
radiotherapy
treatment can be a lengthy process.

Off label use of Mekinist (Trametinib)

Radical Prostatectomy vs External Beam Radiation Therapy for High-Grade, Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer
We therefore emulated a hypothetical target clinical trial of radical prostatectomy (RP) versus external beam
radiotherapy
(EBRT) for high-grade, clinically localized prostate cancer.

Is Bicalutamide the right treatment and when is a PET Scan required
I am a 64-year-old retired Army man living at Delhi in India diagnosed purely by chance…was taking meds for Rheumatoid Arthritis and the doc suggested getting an ultra sound to see if my liver was okay. It was but also showed a mildly enlarged prostate, so got a PSA test for the first time

Time from finishing cycles until scans?
I was just wondering what the typical sort of time is between finishing chemo cycles and
radiotherapy
before having scans etc to see how much they’ve worked?

Positive Progress
Point 2: My experience of
radiotherapy
and chemotherapy wasn't that bad, My view is that if you are fit and healthy going in, you'll probably be ok. Point 3: Look into an integrated therapy approach.

Blood test finds 50 types of cancer is accurate enough to be rolled out
For anyone who has been treated with radiation therapy, this could be handy to keep an eye on potential secondary cancers. A simple blood test that can detect more than 50 types of cancer before any clinical signs or symptoms of the disease emerge in a person is accurate enough to be rolled out

Flomax Issue!
I was treated for aggressive Prostate Cancer in 2012 with ADT followed by two months of Radiation Treatment. (Gleas 9 and PSA 6) My recent PSA Test Result was 0.15. (6/21)I have been most fortunate to this point. A constant problem I have is Extreme Dry Mouth. I know Flomax can be a cause of this condition

Salvage Cryoablation
So..my UroOnc wants to pursue cryoablation after my failed
radiotherapy
(EBRT/LDR Brachytherapy ). I don't know yet if I can have focal only cryo or have to have whole prostate ablation. I know the ED outcome is bad, but has anyone else had this treatment and how are you doing afterward?
