Lupron unjection not reducing PSA
I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016. It has been contained in the prostate ever since. For 3 years I treated myself with vitamins and nutrients. Kept my psa down until I had a kidney stone operation and for some odd ball reason loss control of the psa after the operation, it shot up to

adrenal crisis?
i have been on pred for almost 3 years trying to wean myself off. i never seem to get below 8mgs until the symptoms return. i found that having half my dosage early in the morning really helped so thanks for that advice. i now have managed to reduce to 6mgs. and was beginning to congratulate myself.

Father with Stage 4 prostate cancer in 8 bones.
On 10/25/22 I took my dad (79 at the time) to the ER at the VA for escalating back pain and we walked out with a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. When I brought him to the ER I expected them to tell me he had lung cancer as he is a lifelong smoker. Additionally, I had been worried about him all year

Successful Pluvicto Treatment
I completed six Pluvicto treatments in December 2023 and returned to Mayo in Rochester on January 31, 2024 for a Choline Pet scan to see if it would reveal any non-PSMA PCa.

Post Transplant Fatigue
Hello, I had my liver transplant just over 6 years ago now and apart from an issue right at the beginning, I have been well. I’ve not even had covid! Recently though I’ve begun to feel very tired again, almost as if I’d never had the transplant at all. My question is, has anyone else experienced chronic

Treatment for low-PSA mHSPCa
Does anyone have a clue for treatment of low-PSA metastatic PCa? For neuroendocrine PCa? The only study I can find on treatment for low-PSA: "Mortality Risk for Docetaxel-Treated, High-Grade Prostate Cancer With Low PSA Levels: A Meta-Analysis | Oncology | JAMA Network Open" | indicates that

Scared and Feeling Helpless
Let me start by saying that it was my intention to wait for an official diagnosis for my dad before I started posting here. I found this group recommended on the Prostate Cancer Reddit Forum. I’ve been really struggling lately with absolute utter fear and lack of control (more on that later). My dad

Failing ADT
Hi- I thought I would seek some advice before I meet with my MO tomorrow morning. I have responded well to treatment of metPC since my dx 11+ years ago. About 2+ years ago my PSA became measurable and was rising. After about a year or so I think it reached .37. Following a PSMA scan, my MO saw only

PSA to have stabilized after skyrocketing. What does this mean?
With PSA rising very rapidly four months ago after finishing Eclipse Trial, I had SBRT done immediately followed by Provenge. PSA on the day of SBRT was 2.0. It’s my understanding that Provenge will not affect PSA testing so it’s hard to determine progress. Obviously, there is still cancer still there

mHSPCa with undetectable PSA - chemo-only?
Is chemo-only justified, without ADT/androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, in a case like mine with two new mets discovered and with PSA less than 0.1? I have had no SOC medication since 2.5 years, after SRBR to a single identified met. Gleason 9. This study points to ADT not being of benefit to low-PSA
