When to go back on ADT
PSA is now < 0.02. Off of ADT now for fourteen months. On vacation. Do I go back on now as a precaution or wait till PSA rises and to what number? Also, if I decide to do high testosterone treatment is this a good time ? Thanks

Nubeqa monotherapy experiment coming to end
Sadly it looks like after roughly 9 months of Nubeqa as a monotherapy, the Nubeqa alone is not going to keep PSA at bay. PSA has steadily crept up from a low of .9 to 2.6 today. Ct scan showed that the size of the largest lymph node tumors had been greatly reduced, but there are more of them (not sure

Digging into STAMPEDE data fir SBRT
The topic of whether to irradiate the prostate when there are distant metastases cones up regularly on the forum. Here’s an interview with Dr Koontz, Duke University, that describes the reasoning behind irradiating with metastatic disease. https://www.hematologyandoncology.net/archives/november-2020

My PSA is now at 47 after a high of 160 and a low of 5 after starting ADT with Firmagon, Abiraterone and Prednisone about 9 months ago
I was put on Firmagon in January and my testosterone responded almost immediately to less than 7, but the PSA kept rising, so I was put on Abiraterone and Prednisone in March. The PSA went from 160 down to 5 within about 3 months. Now my PSA is back to 74 and the testosterone is still negligible at <

Questions for 2nd Meeting with MO tomorrow about reaction to 2 months on Orgovyx and Zytiga
Just read all replies to question about ADT and castration resistance . Feeling a bit overwhelmed . Started 2 months ago with a Firmagon shot then added Zytiga and switched to Orgovyx pills instead of Firmagon injection . I start 26 sessions of radiation on 1/6. They said the size of my prostate even

Post EBRT/ Post ADT PSA readings
After 28 sessions and 6 months ADT my first PSA reading was <0.1. Three months later the reading is 0.1. Does this constitute a rise or is it insignificant?

metal vs plastic ureteral stents
I just had removal of bilateral stent placed in Sept.2021-- the urologist mentioned the possibility of stent failure requiring nephrostomies-- he said he didn't have experience with metal ureteral stents which I inquired about thinking they would withstand the cancer should the tumor grow--- I have

Help with doctors and getting to a plan
In addition to my Gleason 9 and PSA of 18, I have a metastasis on the right pubic bone, discovered by a nm bone scan on Thursday, and am going for chest, ab, pelvic scan today to see if that is the only other site. I met with Dr Cheetham from Mt Sinai because I was waiting and waiting for appointments

2 years post Taxotere and ADT, PSA increased from .3 to .4 to .8 over the course of six months. Next best step?
Hi Everyone, My Dad was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer at age 72. His PSA was 9,800 (very high). He had an issue with something pushing on his bladder. Lymph nodes were involved, but no bones or organs. He chose to do 6 rounds of Taxotere with ADT. The result was tremendous! His PSA went

ADT after castrate resistance
I am trying to get my head round the science of ADT after castrate resistance. Why do we continue with ADT after it obviously doesn’t have any effect?? Longterm ADT has long term side effects – bones especially. And if intermittent ADT (100% dose til psa rise) is non inferior to continuous ADT - can

Emotional instability after stopping lupron and abiraterone
After an initial few months of positive improvements in every sector, my guy started into a mental health/cognitive decline to the point where he is now dependent on gabapentin he takes for other reasons in order to maintain any emotional stability. He says his short term memory is also getting worse

Starting Xtandi
Almost 2 years on Lupron and Bicaludimide and my PSA is starting to go back up. The least it has been is 1.75 a few months ago then about 2.0 last month and now less than 4. My MOC wanted me to start me on Xtandi . I have read the Xtandi information and there are some severe side effects. None of them

Not undetectable any more
After 3.5 years of undetectable PSA and 2 years of ADT vacation, my most recent blood test showed a PSA of 0.01. That’s as low as my test will measure, but still detectable. Since my prostate was completely fried by radiation, this has to be senescent cancer cells waking up. My MO agrees, but says
