ADT yes or no
My urologist has recommended ADT treatment followed by radiation. I am concerned about the ADT because of the side effects. What are the risks with radiation without ADT?

Orgovyx + Abiaterone?
I have very high risk prostate cancer (Gleason 9, negative PSMA for spread, MRI suggests possible spread to seminal vessel, PSA in 7s before treatment). Due to cardiac history (stroke and heart attack) MO is being cautious and has started dosing Eligard at 1 Month intervals to make sure I am doing ok

Has anyone been diagnosed with 'Da Costa Syndrome' after a head injury.
Weird histories involving concussion. Da Costa syndrome first appeared in the American civil war. It was thought to be some kind of heart disease that caused fatigue. But many soldiers with this were executed for malingering and being cowards. Then it became a psychiatric condition in the 20th century

Cribiform Prostate Cancer
I have some findings of cribiform cancer in my cancer biopsy. I will start treatment with ADT this mnonth and SBRT in April, 2024. Cribiform cancer in the literature is associated with significantly worse outcomes. Does anyone have experience with this?

How to monitor PCa after you stop ADT?
I've been on Zoladex implants for coming up to 4 years in February. I plan to stop ADT next time when it's due, as my PSA is always "undetectable" and it's been 4 years of physical and mental torment for me (the side effects). I think that enough is enough now. Does anyone have advice on the best ways

Side effects of Relvar Ellipta?
Hi, I have been on Relvar Ellipta for, I think, four years now. It works well to control my asthma, but I wonder if anybody has got any side effects from this medicine? Apart from asthma, I have problems with a heart valve (Mitral), and I am hormone treatment for prostate cancer, and also I take Budesonide

How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
I started my hormone treatment with firmagon + apalutamide beginning 2023. The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my psa dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
Does anyone know of any studies or MO advice they've gotten regarding use of Dutasteride or Finasteride at very early signs of Biochemical Reccurrence (uPSA in the 0.03 - 0.1 range) prior to Salvage Radiotherapy? It's obviously going to slow PSA doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time

PSA Response From Broccoli Sprout Extract (Sulforaphane) May Due To Just Being Moderate ADT
I forgot I ran across this a 2 years ago as many with PCa diagnosis are very interested in Sulforaphane due to a lot of excitement from a few studies a few years ago. (This fueled an explosion of supplements on Amazon.) This however is one of the more expensive supplements and my jury is still out

Fed up gut!
Hi, I have suffered with diverticulitis and IBS for about 15 years. Recently I have experienced hard bloated tum with dragging sensation just under left breast. When I eat it becomes very uncomfortable and nausea soon follows. When I walk any distance my tum swells to huge proportions and only relieves
