CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE FOR INJECTION vs DOCETAXEL

I had initially written this up for r/sciences (consider subscribing if you are looking for a new science subreddit!), but I thought people here might appreciate it as well: ___ Yesterday, the *Jerusalem Post* ran a story with the headline: [A cure for cancer. Israeli scientists say they think they

On July 27, reddit, WIRED, and Nokia brought us the first-ever [AMA with Stephen Hawking](https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/3eret9/science_ama_series_i_am_stephen_hawking/) with this note: At the time, we, the mods of /r/science, noted this: "This AMA will be run differently due to t

Two weeks ago I landed in the emergency room. I thought my appendix may be bursting, I was in easily the worst pain of my life. My blood work revealed I was in the very early stages of pregnancy and it seemed to be an ectopic pregnancy, where the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube. The cells we

I work in a care home. Challenging behaviour, aggression, dementia, schizophrenia, health issues, bed bound, nursing, the lot. 80 plus residents, 4 units. I didn't realise until I worked in care how rude, arrogant, entitled, nasty, racist, homophobic some elderly are. Out of all 80 plus only about 8

First off, I want to thank everyone who stron

Before I'm asked, I read for 4-5 hours a day and don't have a conventional 9-5 job so I have plenty of time to read throughout the day. That's how I've been able to devour book after book. **Edit: Bc I'm constantly asked, I use the site Goodreads.com to track what I read and its how I made the foll

WARNING! This is about needles! I am an EMT and am currently volunteering at my local vaccine clinic. Up until yesterday I had been working as a monitor but I had been through all the training to vaccinate as well. Yesterday they had me as a vaccinator. They showed me to my station, asked if i had

It was the advertisement’s outright simplicity that caught my attention. “Revolutionize science! Earn $5000! Call us now!” I wish I could say I didn’t know why I called them. I wish I could say it was some act of God or deception that drove me into their waiting arms. But that would be a lie. The tr

I just want to share my experience, I have frequented this sub occasionally since my diagnosis. I am a 37y old single gay man. Apparently breast cancer in men my age is incredibly rare. Just bad luck I suppose as there was nothing striking on the genetic tests. I was diagnosed in Nov 22. Since

I HAVE ACHIEVED PCR!!!!!!! I had my lumpectomy on Monday morning and the pathology just came back this afternoon. All margins clear, all lymph nodes clear. I was diagnosed in February at age 36 with TNBC, Stage IIB, and a Ki-67 of >90%. I joined the SCARLET clinical trial and did 6 rounds of Key

Hey everyone, It’s been just over three months since my father passed away, in April 2025. I feel like I’ve only now finally processed enough of the initial grief to put it all together. I’m sharing his story from the beginning to the end to honor him and in the hope that it can be useful to othe

I’m not asking for anything specific. I feel like I am all alone and that my experience with breast cancer is so different from others’. I feel so isolated and hopeless. I’m 51 and was in good shape and otherwise healthy when diagnosed with IDC hormone negative HER2 positive in late June. Small pri

Yesterday I was convinced that I will not need chemo due to what my surgical oncologist told me... she said if I'm HER2 negative (which I am) and if they find no lymph node involvement after surgery/SLNB (also true for me) then I can skip chemo and move directly to radiation and hormone therapy. But

First off, this is a follow up to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/cancer/comments/1hcxvaz/today_i_have_officially_crossed_the_halfway_point/) where I discussed my progress at halfway, so it felt relevant to follow up now that I'm on the downside and headed towards healing. Secondly, this is no

Hey everyone, I’ve been reading this subreddit for a while but finally decided to post. My dad is 59 and was diagnosed with prostate cancer about two years ago. It had already spread to his bones when they found it (de novo metastatic). He started with androgen deprivation therapy, which worked for

At my wife's job in an infusion center, she mixes chemotherapy drugs like Taxol, oxaliplatin, docetaxel, and cytoxin. She does the mixing under a fume hood, wearing a gown and gloves. There is no separation in her mixing room between the chemo drugs and the rheumatology drugs. The room is not negati
