New bone met
I have a consult with radiation oncologist on Wednesday and wanted to ask if any of you have had very targeted radiation therapy to one small new spot on bone when your systemic treatment (Ibrance and Letrozole) is still working on other mets. I saw there is SBRT and IMRT. Are these appropriate options

Imaging Guidelines - Salvage IMRT Planning
I'm planning to start my post-op salvage treatment after my PSA breached 0.1 few weeks ago. I'm OK with the extent of the treatment proposed, which is 5 weeks of IMRT (VMAT) to the prostatic fossa and pelvic LNs. However, I'm not confident with the accuracy of radiation delivery to the target area. Knowing

Update post follow up PSMA PET/CT
Just updated my profile to include recent events. In brief, in March 2023 I had a PSMA PET/CT which Dr. Kwon at Mayo clinic somehow got my insurance to pay for even though my PSA was undetectable. It defined a abdominal retro-aortic mass that was significantly avid. Underwent 4 weeks of standard

3 Months post ADT (Orgovyx) Still having hot flashes and fatigue-doing blood test in two weeks..for hopefully nadir..
Stopped taking Orgovyx May 30th .... August 30th will be my 90 day blood test I presume to see if my Testosterone is BACK TO NORMAL (I hope) and my PSA is less than .o2 ?? I understand that the Testosterone back to NORMAL is more possible in the short term (90 days) than longer term use of adt? Is

Anyone have a dramatic drop in WBC bordering on neutropenia from pelvic radiation (not chemo)?
Husband is 3/4 of the way through an escalated course of IMRT Prostate bed only radiation (plan was for 33 days but they gave larger doses per day and are trying to do it in 20 days). Today (Saturday) we ended up going to the ER because he was having some strange symptoms. Labs showed his WBC counts

metallic taste in mouth during pelvic radiation
Has anyone dealt with a metallic taste in mouth during radiation to prostate bed? Husband is 3/4 of the way through his IMRT pelvic radiation and the last few days the sour metallic taste is ever present plus he’s been nauseous with vomiting occasionally and more fatigue. Anyone experienced this during

Brain metastasis
New (Portuguese) anecdotal case study below. [1] When I began reading PCa studies on PubMed, I saw a lot of cell studies that used LNCaP (from a lymph PCa cell), PC3 (from a bone PCa cell) &/or DU145 (supposedly a brain met cell, but now described as "derived from a central nervous system metastasis

Well, so much for feeling normal....
Some of you may have read my long story on the Enhertu infusion. I have it in my lungs, spine and then it spread to my liver and the next treatment (Xeloda, I think) and after three months still progression. If you have the time, grab a cup of coffee and read. OR, if you are having trouble sleeping

ED No More (the prequel)
I've had so many comments since my post "ED no more" that I felt I should offer more. I'm a neophyte on this site. As a matter of fact I avoid this site. I have always adopted an "ignorance is bliss" attitude towards life and my PC. My wife, on the other hand, is a nervous but adventurous individual

hello, my partner has been in
intensive
care
coming up to 5 months now. I feel incredibly lonely, and would love to speak to someone going through a similar thing and maybe be able to support each other.

My case is unusual in as much as I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer four years ago. A bone scan identified many areas where I had bone mets, even one between my shoulder blades on my spine that looked like structural surgery was inevitable. My PSA topped 1000 and I had zero treatments of any

Change from Ropinerole to Rigotine patches
I saw a new Neurologist at my local hospital last week as my RLS has been made worse by the chemo I am on. I am stage 4 and Palliative care for Sarcoma with mets in liver, chest wall and spine. I told him I can’t wean off Ropinerole so he suggested changing to Rigotine patches which, as I also have IBS

Question to my NJ sisters
I got to the point that I can’t stay with my oncologist any more for many reasons. One of them is that she doesn’t see me as a patient, but just as cancer. No symptoms that could be seen as a sign of cancer or side effect of the therapy are of interest. After I was hospitalized for urosepsis and anemia

ART ADT n Life Without Testosterone for Prostate Cancer Patients

😪😡😪 Need to vent.
So palliative care and the transplant team have asked the gp to provide particular care and meds, have they NO!!! Can I make an appointment to speak to a gp? NO!!! The only thing to reduce me to tears is trying to deal with the incompetence of my gp surgery.

Some hopeful test news:🙏🏻
My son had a PSA of 20 just 3 mo after RRP last October 24th. Prior to that we had no idea from his test results that the PC was outside of the prostate. It had gone to his pelvic lymph nodes plus he’s tertiary five. He’s been on generic Zytiga and prednisone and Lupron and finished six weeks of IMRT
