can cypron help me gain weight without side effect. ## Hi ebele, Based on my research Cypron is in a class of medications called steroidal anti-androgens; and is indicated to treat advanced stages of prostate cancer. Weight gain however, does happen to be listed as a general side effect of Cypron (cyproterone)... so unfortunately it's not very likely that it'll occur in all individuals who might be taking it. If you're truly concerned about the risk of other possible side effects, it may be best to just look into other more natural options that can help you put on more weight. Simple things like meal planning and getting on a regular eating schedule can also be of tremendous benefit if you're trying to measure your caloric intake. I hope this helps!

zolodex is goserelin(sp?) is an IV I receive every 3 mo for malignant neoplasm of prostrate with bone metastases: spine, legs, ankles, hip and abdominal area and ribs. this medication retards the mfr testosterone, which seems to fan the fire of my cancer. How long is zolodex effective? What would happen if I discontinued these IV's (which has plenty side effects)? Would it shorten my life? My psa is now around 16. In Feb 2013 it was over 600. When this treatment no longer is effective, how much time do I have??

Where can we order H-86 from? Is it available online or do and stores sell it? ## HI, Brad! How are you? You are just one in a long list of people that have been asking about this, since a certain email newsletter was sent out claiming that it has miracle effects….but there is no such proof. What's more, there is no information available on H86 whatsoever, nothing on what it actually is, where to buy it or etc. I've no idea why that newsletter was released, because all it's done so far is create a bunch of false hope in the readers and I am very sorry that it has also happened to you. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I need to find the h-86 and need to know the cost ## Santa Cruz Biotechnology!

My brother in law was just diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. It has metastasized to his brain, liver, and bones. He started xalkori a week ago and is having terrible diarrhea. He is still in the hospital and has now been told he has C Diff. He is losing weight, is weak and is always cold. Our family is concerned this is the medication, but it seems to be the C Diff. Has anyone experienced side effects that are so severe just from Xalkori alone? What else should we be looking out for? ## Hello, TJ! How is he doing? This medication does commonly cause diarrhea as a side effect, but not usually that severe. It's actually not considered a worrisome side effect. What are they doing to treat it? ## Hi Verwon. His C Diff has subsided because of the strong antibiotics. He was released ab...

I am petrified to take this pill. I am already significantly overweight with large abdominal hernias. Makes it difficult to walk. I am almost 60 and a heavy smoker. Is my doctor trying to kill me? My god... he said if I didn't take it I would probably develop uterine cancer as my lining is thick and I have heavy bleeding every month or so lasint 15 days or more. Anyone know of other options? I CANNOT GAIN MORE WEIGHT.... ## Hello, Smudge! How are you? Yes, there is a procedure they can do, basically a type of D&C that would effectively achieve the same thing, it removes the built up lining. However, if have heavy bleeding every month, it's odd that your lining would be that thick, that usually happens, when women don't bleed or have extremely light periods. You're al...

My 5 year old son is on 15mg Subcut Methatrexate injection , weekly. He has been on this drug for almost 2 1/2 years now. He also receives an infusion every 4 weeks - both are for his illness Juvenile Dermatomyositis, which he was diagnoised with when he was 18 months old. Up until now, he has tolorated both drugs very well - with almost no side effects. Just lately though, he has started to be very sick after the Methatrexate. 4/5 hours later he developes a high temtreture and is sometimes very sick. I am not able to understand (and nether can his consultants) why he suddenly, after 2 1/2 years has he started to develop this reaction. I would be more understanding, had my son reacted like this from day one but he hasn't showed any signs iof side affects to the methatrexate. Why now...

Hello, I need to be able to get Cometriq for a cousin with Medullary Thyroid Cancer in Argentina. The only problem is that I need it from a licensed pharmacy that will accept a prescription from an Argentinian doctor. Please let me know what my best options are. Thanks ## We needed Cometriq (Cabozatinib) for my brother in Russia. We used an Israeli pharmacy. They accepted a Russian prescription and had a costumer service representative who spoke Russian. I'm sure that they can ship to Argentina as well. Good luck. ## @Diego, I don't think you'd run into any problems based on information from the previous comment. However, it sounds like your best bet would probably be to speak with a local pharmacist in your area who may know about certain information or laws relating to fil...

My mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a little over a year ago. She went through a debulking surgery and platinum based chemotherapy and was in remission for just under 6 months. The ovarian cancer recurred again this fall and she has been on a taxotere / gemzar combination. It is very hard for her because one of the numerous side effects of the taxotere that she gets is the abdominal edema, which makes it hard for her to move and breath. It is also worrying because prior to the debulking, the first symptom that her doctor took seriously was accumulation of ascites in her abdomen which is very similar to the edema. It was also the first thing that recurred that alerted her to the return of the cancer. I have a couple of questions which her doctor has not been able to answer. This ...

Hi my name is Andrew I am a very big follower of the 4400 and the drug called PROMICIN. is it real? are they still running diagnostics to see if it really unlocks the part of the brain? I am a full volunteer when it comes to taking PROMICIN. please get back to me as I realy want to see what it is realy about. ## Hello, Andrew! How are you? I'm sorry, but I think you've misunderstood, it is something that is purely fictional that was created for the TV series, it has never actually existed and no trials are being done on such a substance. Is there anything else I can help with?

where are they found? ## Hi Gerard, I'm not sure what abbreviation "DBX" stands for, but lately there has been a lot of speculation about H86, how it works as a cancer treatment, and where you might be able to obtain it. Unfortunately however, there seems to be a lack of supporting evidence from credible sources explaining what H86 really is. Some say it's fermented wheat germ, others say black currant extract, and even something called Avemar...

I have been taking this medicine for 8 years....it works for me....now they tell me that i have to take this Covaryx......it is very expensive since i dont have any insurance...why??? did the manufacturer stop making estrogenmtest....it was so much cheaper....and it worked... ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? I am really not sure. Originally, it was stated that it was due to the Methyltestosterone in it, but that doesn't seem to make sense, because there are others available, such as the Covaryx, that still contain it as an ingredient. Does anyone know more about this?

I have had RA for 8 years I was taking methotrexate and leucovorin 12-16 hrs later. Just started with new doctor and he changed me to folic acid he said leucovorin interfere with the methothrexate. I feel so much better it is hard to believe such a little change could make such a differents. So happy I made the change. ## Hello, Gail! How are you? I'm glad that you've got a combination that is working better for you. However, there is nothing listing a problem between them, so I can only assume your doctor was going by experiences with other patients. You should be aware, though, that the Folic Acid is listed as possibly interfering with the absorption of the Methotrexate. Has anyone else faced similar issues?

After using Temodar for 6 weeks (for brain tumour) my sons white blood cell, platelet count dropped dramatically. For 2 months in 0,03 range. Started picking up the last month. Reaching 0.69 at highest. Been in hospital 3 months now. Did a bonemarrow biopsy 1 month ago. After the 2 months a bonemarrow biopsy was done and shown 5% activity. But after the biopsy the dr said he convinced the bonemarrow showing more activity. It's been going up so slowly every week. We keep a chart. We not keen for a bonemarrow transplant now as he has been very sick with infection twice. Want to give him all the chance to see if he can recover by himself. Are there patients that share the same story?

Has anyone experienced cold like symptoms for an extended length of time after their last Perjeta infusion? I have had a stuffy nose since last May. My last infusion was in October. People have suggested it might be allergies but these aren't the normal symptoms of the allergies I used to have. The syptoms don't come and go. It has been every day. My Oncologist doesn't believe Perjeta has anything to do with my condition. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you ## Hello, Janine! How are you? It would be very unusual for side effects from the Perjeta to linger that long after your last infusion. Our bodies do change with time, so it could very well be a new allergy or an existing one that has gotten worse. Have you tried consulting an allergist? ## Thank you so much for your...

I'm on medcare (obamacare) and see my oncologist once a year. I occasionally take my husbands 10/325 hydros (he"s had 5 back surgerys) and they definatly work (2 or 3 on a bad day). I have medicade,does anyone know of a Dr in Vegas that will prescribe these? Thank you for any help ## Hello, Valerie! How are you? Have you consulted your doctor about this issue? Arimidex can also cause bone fractures, so you need to have this checked out to be certain of what's going on.
