I just got back my PET/CT results from yesterday. Bad! I have never had so much progression. Little spots, some new, some growing from last time, mostly in thoracic and lung area.

Hello, Just received call from hospital saying MRI shows diseases stabilised ( no progression) and the doctor is very happy with it. This is after 3 rounds Caelyx/ Carbo with small decrease of ca 125 from 595 to 515 last time. I don't know what to think... Was expecting and praying so hard for decrease

Hello, in December 2023 I was diagnosed with stage 1c2 ovarian cancer after having an op to remove my ovary and fallopian tube due to a large cyst.

Hi all, i appreciate this is a little TMI, but I’ve occasionally been experiencing vaginal bleeding after pooping. It’s definitely vaginal bleeding.

Hi, I've just had my third colonoscopy and I found it very painful. I was in agony during various times of it being done. I managed to get a report (some pictures this time too!)

just wanted to provide an update on using immunotherapy, in my case Opdivo and Yervoy.

Hi all. Hope you are keeping your spirits high. This is a follow up to a post I made in 2022 about my father. I haven't posted since, which reflects the period of relative normalcy that followed the commencement of ADT (triplet therapy) at MSK. I want to pause to appreciate that since I know most of
