Use of CDB 10 mg pills
I am currently on 12 mg prednisone and 20 mg methotrexate a week for PsA and maybe PMR. I have heard that taking CDB can help with relaxing, sleeping and general feeling down due to the way this illness makes you feel. Is this safe?

Retzius sparing techniques during RALP
Dear All,Since I live on the other side of the pond then we have a very different health service structure but irrespective of that fact I am very interested in the views of the forum on the cancer treatment which is available to me and how others may have found it.

Just joined the club no one wants to be a member of in April 2023 - can Gleason 9 be cured ?
Doc says that our goal is a cure despite the fact that I am a Gleason 9 with Decipher score of 1 , the highest for metatastic spread. (PSMA PET was negative.) The highest my PSA has ever been was 5.48 in December 2022 and it dropped to .09 with Testosterone of 14 in August two months after a shot of

Been on Firmagon with Zytiga and Prednisone PSA rising, what can I do next?
Information in Bio Hoping to try a PARP inhibitor or Provenge perhaps, I don’t know much about this, but my medical oncologist keeps mentioning pluvicto, I’m not interested in doing that yet. Information from Bio below: Diagnosed 07/01/2022 Diagnosed By PSA Score 942.40 06/24-2022-07/06/2022

Psa doubled in less than a month

Just had My Monthly Injection of Firmagon Monthly Labs PSA is Up <0.06 to 0.09
That’s pretty modest. I’m assuming I will wait till next month to see if it goes down. Kind of stressed with this new diverticulitis and blood bowel thing AND Moving. Got results of psa after I saw My Medical Oncologist so haven’t discussed modest jump. Even with bleeding from rectum the gastroenterologist

I got some doubts about the know-how of my oncologist
I met with my oncologist last Friday and either I am confused or she is. I am open for both scenario. :) This post is sort of a follow-up on another I did back in August: https://healthunlocked.com/advanced-prostate-cancer/posts/149892314/need-help-in-understanding-psa-level-recurrence-after-treatment

Prostate cancer but normal PSA?
HI All. I had my first ever PSA at the age of 62 and it came in at over 26. I took a repeat and it came in at 25, then a week later I took another and it was 29. I had a biopsy that came back positive (cancer in 11 of 12 samples) and even though both my CT and bone. However, they indicated that since

Cancer return alert without scan or PSA ?
I'm more curious than anything to hear if you knew the cancer had returned somehow before any scan or blood test really told you? Pain? Bladder issues? Other signs ??? I'm wondering how many really knew somehow or sensed it and it was later confirmed ? Most people are very in-tuned to their own body

SBRT alternative
So I've been trying to decide on what treatment I wanted to do and finally decided that I'd go with SBRT. Well unfortunately the MRIdian SBRT is going away at the end of the month. I reached out to Dr. Kishan to verify and this was the response "Unfortunately that is likely correct. We will be doing

BAT trial
With Xtandi failing and my metastasizes not PSMA avid enough for Lutetium my MO referred me to the Kinghorn Cancer Centre in Sydney to be assessed for a clinical trial involving BAT and Carboplatin (chemo). I am now in the trial and have had my first testosterone injections plus the carboplatin infusion

1st PSA Post SBRT + ADT: A Bounce?
I had a diagnosis of Gleason 3+4, probable ECE; Decipher .63. Received 5 Fraction SBRT at MSKCC (Dr. Zelefsky) in early January of this year. 6 months of ADT (Orgovyx) ended May 23, 2023. At the end of ADT, my PSA was <0.05 and Testosterone was 4. My first PSA Test was last Wednesday at Penn Medicine

Lynparza - warning!
I'm writing this in pure agony in hopes, that it might help someone in the future. My father is castrate resistant and when Xtandi stopped working, his MO put him on dexamethasone + abiraterone + Lynparza (olaparib). This combo is now registered in European Union even for men without BRCA mutation

bladder stones
When my urologist did my biopsy he also removed bladder stones by breaking them in pieces and retrieving them thru my supra pubic catheter portal. Unfortunately all of them could not be be retrieved and they moved down my urethra to the point where the enlarged prostate pinched off urine flow. They

Question for my father
I haven’t posted in a couple of years but have been following along daily with this forum’s wealth of information. I had my prostate removed 2 years ago at MSK and have recovered well with a still undetectable PSA. I’m writing for advice on my 91 yo father. He was recently found to have bone metastases
