No but it is the PCa mets in your bone marrow that will ultimately kill you.

Right-on. Interesting posts, even if at first reading not immediately of significance to pca, should be encouraged.

It is easy to be a critic One Eye, but so far that is all you have done.

Not one post made by the One Eyed complainer in Chief.

What "truths" do you bring to the table Jack?

Please point to one contribution you have made on this forum.

LOL Right back at you buddy

No point in pooh poohing and belittling anything someone has posted for everyone's information and benefit. Let me assure you that all cancers will be cured by this approach of tweaking the genetic code to get the immune system to attack the cancer. This is a very pioneering work and ultimately will help in curing prostrate cancer as well. How long it will take and the cost is anyone's guess. I understand that now they are able to remove and change single bases of DNA instead of snippets. This has given the impetus to look at tweaking the immune system.

That's interesting.I like idea of fighting just specific cancer cells.

I'm on chemo with no hair and many other chemo related side effects!!!

It also makes me think diagnosis should be more specific, especially in the cancer cell area???

Fascinating trials. Maybe contributing to bispecific antibody treatment for PCa.

Hi all - yes immunotherapy would appear to be the way ahead - no surgery - radiation - or chemicals - just let the bodies defences know what to attack and not what to attack ( which it does daily - apparently ) it just need a little help ! kindest Raoul

My husband has had prostate cancer since 2016, went four years after surgery before rising PSA. Nothing "lit up" on his PetScan that seeks only pc cells in 2020 but had radiation of the prostate bed. He's been on Orgovyx this past year and is doing well. However in 1986 my beloved sister at age 46 after a valiant battle, died of multiple myeloma 18 months after cancer was found in an ovary during a regular checkup. The ovary was not the original site of the cancer and after exhaustive tests, scans, MRI's it was never found. Then in 2012 when I was a church secretary, our Director of Missions died of multiple myeloma having undergone a stem cell transplant at the begging of his wife. Knowing my sister died of the same disease, he shared with me if he had known what the stem cell transplant would put him through, he never would have done it. He was never the same after the transplant and before his death but worked as long as he could. So this news is VERY important to me, to my husband, to my family and to any person who has ever had or will have cancer. There is still no test for ovarian cancer 35+ years after my sister's death and no lasting treatment for multiple myeloma either. My husband is extremely grateful as I am, to Scout4answers for posting about this trial regardless of the eventual outcome as it could be an opening door to any and all cancers. Thank you to all of the contributors here as it has helped me greatly on the journey of learning about aPC, giving me the ability to better understand the various treatments for this type cancer and to be able to ask questions. His doctor wants input from his patients (and their spouse) so we have a good relationship about not only the physical aspects but also the mental and emotional affects of dealing with his cancer. This forum is important and so very helpful so thank you all!

Thanks for the kind words.

This one is a stretch for PCa guys but as you point out "it could be an opening door to any and all cancers." As my name implies I am scouting for answer to the question " How do we Survive this disease? Often answers come from unexpected places. Be positive and live what ever time we have left in the best way possible.
