Gleason score 8 and lots of questions...
Hi all! First time posting here but I have been lurking the last month or so and thanks so much to all of you who take the time to contribute. It has helped me ramp up the learning curve so quickly and the comradery and support here are powerful. My story: 63 year old reasonably healthy male. PSA

Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
I was recently blindsided by my "under control" prostate cancer, turning into High Grade Neuroendocrine Prostate cancer (NEPC). After 13 years of various therapies, the last few years included Lupron/Eligard, Zytiga, Xtandi. This kept the PSA low (around .2) and kept my MO happy. In 2021, I asked my

ADT/Exercise and QoL thanks
While attending a 10 day Vipassana silent meditation course (you do not speak for the 10 days and have no electronics/connection with the outside world - very liberating) I was not able to exercise, other than about 10,000 steps per day.

Oligomets and SBRT: "Whack a Mole"?
"PSMA-PET guided SBRT for oligo-metachronous PCa recurrence in appropriately triaged patients results in excellent local control, low toxicity and over 50% ADT free at 5 years."

When to introduce ADT after RP failure
I'm progressing well on Triplet Therapy coming up 12 months after Chemo and comparing myself to my brothers situation. He doesn't belong on this advanced prostate group but I hope his cancer does not advance to the point that he does! [i]Diagnoses[/i] [i]Biochemical failure following radical prostatectomy

pBAT update after two cycles.
I started BAT using testosterone propianate which requires injections every other day during high T cycle. The beauty of that is fast clearing and slamming the jail cell shut on the beast with darolutamide. My recent PSA came in as 0,05 which is almost at end on my 2nd darolutamide cycle. My Numbers

Kidney Stones
I’m 19 months into ADT (Lupron) following open RP and 38 rounds of radiation last summer. All treatments or for Gleason 9 (5/4) PC that had spread outside the prostate. A few weeks ago I started getting loose bowels, incontinence and blood in my urine. My urologist thought I had radiation cause cancer

ADT for a year?
Had intermediate grade PC no spread, had SBRT. Three months out my Psa is .03. Am on Lupron for the fourth month out of a projected 12 month stint. Do docs ever say, six or nine months is enough? Testosterone at 6 right now.

Cortisone Injections?
Hi Does anyone have information on whether one can receive cortisone shots for various injuries unrelated to PC without adversely impacting one’s ADT treatment? I am in physical therapy for an injured shoulder and recently had a cortisone shot and forgot to consult my MO before receiving it. I was

Acupuncture and Hot Flashes
Throughout my life as an athlete, I have always worked out and continue to do so. I have also always tended to run hot and sweat a lot. I am now 15 months into ADT and hot flashes have been epic. Every 1 to 2 hours - full body flop sweats for 3-5 minutes. I have gone to wearing black shirts so it

anaemia and ADT
just had full blood test before I press on with ADT aiming for 18 months and done 9 months adjuvant with RT for G9 - as posted before my oncologist seems to lean to me stopping ADT now as worries about the effect in my polio - though she isn’t a polio expert of course, she just thinks the extra gain

Is my recovery typical or more novel
I had 7=4+3 prostate cancer PSA=5.4 with a Gleason of 0.7. MRI showed the tumor had not compromised the wall of the prostate. It was an aggressive cancer genetically and was at stage three. Bad news but apparently ample margin for victory. I had ADT from 7/22 till 12/22 and received Proton beam therapy

Heme iron versus ferrous gluconate
Recent bloodwork shows a low iron problem accross several measures. PCP says to take ferrous gluconate. I remember iron discussions from a previous site in which heme iron was recommended for its better absorption, though ferrous gluconate is superior to some other forms in terms of absorption. I

Proton Therapy timeline question
For those who have had proton therapy, what was your timeline? What period of time elapsed after you began ADT and had the simulation? And then, how long after that did the actual therapy begin? I've been reading and can't seem to determine a timeline, other than one guy wrote that he had the simulation
