PSA rising after salvage RT. What next?
My PSA is low but on the rise. <.006 in January and .042 now. I'm not on ADT. See bio for history. I hate to stand on the sidelines and watch it rise. Is there something I can do, or do I have to wait until PSA rises then have a scan? What is SOC? Your comments are appreciated.

Has anyone come across research that speaks to what is the best diet strategy in terms of macros? I just finished my last radiation treatment! However, I will still be on ADT/Lupron for another 4 months. So it’s time to buckle up and get back to a cancer-preventive diet along with my current exercise

Success with PSMA-lutamide
Hi Everyone, I might get long winded in this, so the brief summary is: rechallenged with Pluvicto after a 4-year break while enhancing PSMA expression with darolutamide. PSA dropped from 44 to 3 after two treaments. I have lymph-node metastatic disease with neuroendocrine differentiation. I was on

ADT and Increased Blood Sugar
Prior to my diagnosis, my morning blood sugar levels were just on the cusp of normal ranging from 99 to 120 each morning. My primary care physician prescribed Metformin, which seemed to reduce or maintain these levels. I have been taking Orgovyx since 9/23 and expect to complete the regimine in early

Psa results
A little disappointed. I got my psa results today, went from. 06 on 4/23/24 to .88 today. I have my visit with my MO on 7/29 and will find out the next course of action. I was surprised as I was undetectable from September of 2020 right up thru January of this year. Granted I had sbrt and was subsequently

Orgovyx: Check, Barrigel: Check, Next Up: Ray-Gunz!
After 16 weeks on Orgovyx (relugovix) my PSA: 0.71 (from 16.5) and my Testosterone: 25-ng/dl (from I don't know what. Normal T is 250-800 I'm told.) I want to pass on that I've been able to greatly diminish some SEs from the drug. I now take the pill in the evening vs morning, at approx. 9 to 10 pm.

biopsy
Is there any advantage to a prostate biopsy after initial radiation and 3/4 year of ADT…..? Salvage high dose brachytherapy is being considered and a third prostate biopsy has just been done. What might they be looking for…..placement,grade,Gleason?

Testosterone
Good morning, After years of hormone therapy and low testosterone, my bloodwork from Thursday shows an increase of testosterone. My chart shows it’s been less that 7 for a number of years, now it’s listed as 8. Does this mean that the Xtandi/Eligard is not working anymore?

Finding consensus on treatment and side effects
As per earlier posts I’m 72 yrs old with Stage 4 Gleason 9 with some spread outside of prostate. I started ADT treatment in April and finished 4 weeks of radiation therapy on July 5. Statistically I think I’m doing well. My PSA went from 8.4 to .012 in two months. Until recently I had really no side

intermittent ADT+Abiraterone
Six months ago I ended a 12 month holiday from my ADT + abiraterone. (In this post, I’m not asking for evaluations of the advisability of intermittency.) In making the decision to do the intermittency, my MO, among other things, said that the fact that I was on abiraterone was a positive factor for

I owe you an update
Many thanks to the members of this forum. FYI, I was diagnosed with a DRE last October, 2023. I had a biopsy in November and confirmed an aggressive stage 5, Gleason 9 in 6 of 12 cores prostate cancer. A series of scans did not detect involvement beyond the prostate. My PSA was 9 at that time. I began

catheter for urinary retention
Does anyone have advice or tips on getting a catheter removed? My husband had it inserted due to urinary retention. The oncologist said his prostrate is full of cancer and pressing on the urethra. He has started adt with casodex and lupron. Soon to add zytiga. He also takes flomax. He’s tried twice

Looking for support in supporting my husband
This community has been so informative and I truly appreciate the information I have received from so many incredible people. Thank you! This is the first time I am posting to this group. In October 2023 my husband noticed more frequent use of the bathroom. He had his PSA tested in January which was

Should I insist on Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy (WPRT)?
Given my condition (see profile), should I ask for Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy (WPRT)? Multiple doctors have said I don't need WPRT due to my low Decipher score, although it would give me better peace of mind. However, I am concerned about the additional side effects. Here are my questions, and I

Is this decision right for me
I had a PSMA pet scan on 7/16/2024. The result shows a single tumor in my left lung measuring 8mm. My MO wants me to have the tumor radiated and monitor the PSA and its doubling time. A little background, I'm just short of 83 years old. I had prostatectomy in 2009, PSA undetectable until 2017. I had

ED, ADT and Orgasm
I've been on Lupron for prostate cancer and am in my 4th of 6 months. I finished radiation therapy a month ago. I'm able to get a really good erection from 100 mg of Viagra but require direct stimulation. Before ADT, I could get hard just *thinking* about sex. Several guys have told me I'm lucky I
