Toronto Prostate Cancer Specialist for Dad
He got a bilateral
orchidectomy
done as well, so no Lupron. I wanted to get recommendations for oncologists especially those dealing with Prostate cancer in Ontario, Canada. Please help. Thank you.

Orchidectomy vs ADT
For anyone who had the bilateral
orchidectomy
, I would like some advice for my husband. When was it done? Before or after BCR occurred? What are the side effects? Do you take any other ADT meds after? How is your QOL and is there anything you'd do differently. He had RP in Dec 2021.

Chemo Failed
Things he tried: Lupron (on for years before failed) Zytiga (worked for 18 months)
Orchidectomy
Then the chemo. He is not a candidate for radiation because of a previous cancer. He is going to get a PET scan and go back to oncologist in 6 weeks.

Pluvicto
My dad had his 1st pluvicto injection beginning of May He had his PSA taken 3 weeks later. It went from 16 to 23. I’m hoping this isn’t an indicator that this will fail too. He has been dealing with prostate cancer for 20+ years -prostate removed - watching till number doubled - maybe 5 years

I'm tired of all the side affects of cancer drugs and all the problems they cause to my body so I'm concidering having an orchiectomy. Yes I know all about what happens when you get this but as far as I'm

Walsh's Folly?
I posted earlier that I had to ask ChatGPt "who came up with the 'gasoline on a fire' characterization regarding the relationship of testosterone and prostate cancer" and that Chat GPT had answered -- Dr. Patrick Walsh -- (father of the radical prostatectomy.) In that post, discussion turned to Walsh's

Gasoline?
A question for anyone who has found an answer... From 2018, when diagnosed, I have been told by doctors, urologists and oncologists that; "Testosterone, in prostate cancer, is like gasoline on a fire!" When I first heard this it seemed dubious since what I "knew" about PCa was that young men with

What's the best combination with Xtandi after orchiectomy?
Genetic tests are negative. Learning what are options available with Xtandi so I can talk to my MO better.

Castrate levels of Testosterone
My husband's testosterone level is 3nmol/L (86.5 ng/100ml). In the past year, his levels have ranged between 2-8 nmol/L. He's on quarterly Zoladex. I understand that castrate levels are ideally < 20 ng/100ml. If I understand correctly, his testosterone should be much lower. Can anyone please shed
