Polymer-coated nanoparticles loaded with therapeutic drugs show significant promise for cancer treatment. These particles can be targeted directly to tumors, where they release their payload while avoiding many of the side effects of traditional chemotherapy.

My post chemo hair is growing but slowly. In contrast my fingernails are griwing fast and strong. Toenails are similar but slower. Why, IDK? I was taught that hair, skin, nail all grew at similar speeds. It seems that was wrong.

Anyhow, tips here for hair growth. May be useful to someone?

"Researchers from RMIT University in Australia and Indian institutions unveiled a novel gold-based drug that shows significant promise in the fight against cancer. The drug has demonstrated the ability to slow #tumour growth while selectively targeting cancer cells more effectively than traditional #chemotherapy agents."

I went with my mum to take her third #chemotherapy this morning. Seeing so many people struggling with their sickness day by day gives you completely different perspective what's important in one's life. #wellbeing
I'm happy she's dealing very well so far.
And I'm truly #grateful we do have decent #public #healthcare in Poland. It's not perfect, but everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.

I've started on a #chemotherapy journey, along with additional hormone suppression. This is week 3, cycle one; cycle 2 starts next Monday.

Feeling more or less OK today. Will be feeling really grim this time next week.

But, hey ho, although I've got a diagnosis of a terminal illness, it's gonna take a while before I shuffle off. I've got more stuff to do before I go

New cervical #cancer treatment regime ‘cuts risk of dying from disease by 40%’
#CervicalCancer is 4th most common cancer in women globally, with about 660,000 new cases and 350,000 deaths every year
In the study, one group received the new regime of six weeks of carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy. Followed by standard radiotherapy plus weekly cisplatin and brachytherapy #chemotherapy, known as #chemoradiation. Control group received only the usual chemoradiation. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/oct/14/new-cervical-cancer-treatment-regime-cuts-risk-dying

In 1910, the first cure for syphilis was created by Paul Ehrlich who believed a drug could target a pathogen without harming the patient. This was the beginning of chemotherapy. #Poetry #Science #History #Pharmacology #Chemotherapy #Ehrlich (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1910a.html)

"Our analysis leverages gene regulatory networks to discover an 18-gene prognostic signature and to explore a 10-gene signature that potentially predicts chemotherapy benefits. The 10-gene signature demonstrates strong prognostic power and shows promising potential to predict #chemotherapy benefits."

>> Biden could tell #DOJ since he is now $king that they have to go after #GinniThomas and #Alito and #ClarenceThomas and he can tell the #IRS to go after Thomas and Alito and everyone else’s income tax while they’re at it. But he’s a man of #integrity and he won’t do that

#Biden's #virtueSignaling and reticence on this matter would be no different than a doctor refusing #chemotherapy on a cancer patient (#US) because that treatment is poison for normal people.
