Does anyone else have a fave song for helping with the stress of having advanced PCa?
Dx in early 2022. A lot of tension and stress built as treatment escalated -- from Firmagon through radiation and since then abi+lupron. Especially during daily RT sessions with the big honking IMRT machine rotating around me. Tension exacerbated by knowing that PSMA-CT scan spine spots (3) were

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and prednisone. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle. His PSA dropped until the sixth infusion

Lycopene
After my brachytherapy my PSA start to increase (0.18). I started including tomato paste (high in lycopene) in my morning breakfast smoothie (about 2 oz). My next PSA was 0.09. Will have another PSA in about a month and see what is happening. Best wishes

bleeding after hyperbaric oxygen therapy
I had prostate cancer and prostate removed late 2018, 6 months later had 35 rounds of radiation in prostate bed because PSA was rising. All was ok until October 2022 when I had a heart attack. Cardiologist put me on blood thinners and 3 weeks later I had severe hematuria and had to be hospitalized.

Xtandi failure?
After a successful - but short - period on Bicalutamide + Leuprorelin my PSA has risen from 1.1 to 1.7, to (now) 3.3. My last scan showed some micro-mets on my back, but organs were clear.Is it safe to say that Xtandi does not work for me? To be honest, I've had a miserable time on it, culminating in

PSA post salvage radiation
My husband, at diagnosis had 3+4 on a couple of samples and chose to have surgery. He had clean margins and reached undetectable PSA after Prostatectomy. Near the end of 5th year after surgery his PSA became detectable. I’m confused, If clean margins how would cancer be outside the prostate? He

Has others received treatment at MSK, how did they do
I am being referred to MSK for a trial or treatment due to the treatment not working. Liver Mets had increased not decreased, getting a liver biopsy on Monday. The PSA had gone up instead of down, the trial is plivicto so we will see what happens. Since I am over 4 hours away and the only driver I will

New Bone Mets Throughout Skeleton
I had a bone scan done and the results show new bone mets throughout my skeleton. My PSA has been climbing and is currently at 4.66. Looks like the cancer has worked around both the Zoladex and the Abiraterone. Not sure what is next. Apparently the oncologist that was treating me has left for a sabbatical

Does a big drop in PSA a month after the start of hormone treatment possibly represent a higher chance of cure?
Hi all, I have been researching and I have been wondering if big drops in PSA right after hormone treatment should give you more hope at a cure or if this does not change the situation at all? Father PSA of 226 dropped to 3 one month after Firmagon shot, and then 0.3 a month after that, and then 0.13

Qol Sweet Season
This is my QoL life in the north country at 79. Difficult work for about 25 days but get my resistant training and cardio work done by not going to the gym. That old 43 N Ford does its only job once a year and never failed me in the sugarbush. Nice time for friends and family to help out. I will resume

PSA doubled again within three months.
My psa has doubled yet again within three months and lung mets are growing in size, while they have only grown a few millimeters they are still growing.

PSA Climbing while on Zoladex and Abiraterone with Prednisone
I have an appointment with Oncologist today. Going to ask if i can switch the prednisone for dexamethasone. Not sure if they will approve it. I was scheduled to start Xgeva. As I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis due to having ADT since 2017. What other treatment should I look forward to having

Xtandi already failing? How is this possible
hi everyone. My dad met with his new oncologist today. He consented to genetic testing so his bloodwork will be sent out in 6 weeks. His new PSA reading came back at 2.84. On February 7th, it was 1.94. He also got another lupron shot today and it’s been over three months since he received one, maybe
