Any suggestions for supplements to augment Docetaxel/ADT?
Halfway through chemo with Docetaxel. PSA at 0.02 for last two measurements. Anyone aware of any supplements that may help? I am also on Lupron and darolutamide. Treating Pulmonary mets.

Not the news I was hoping for
Just had my second PSMA/PET scan - the first one was in October and was clear - my PSA had risen to 0.2. My PSA has been jumping around but has trended up the last two months to 2.5. So I went to Mayo for my scan today. Impression 1. Worsening of T9 hypermetabolic lesion (miPSMA score 3). 2. New

Travel insurance and prostate cancer
I have had HIFU for prostate cancer that was only partially successful. Subsequently my PSA started to rise again so I was treated 5 years ago with docetaxel followed by decapeptyl hormone therapy starting 4 years ago. I want to go on holiday. Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that will

Best use of Psa to guide intermittent hormone therapy
presently on relugolix + Darolutamide for local reccurrence and will go off these drugs if Psa is less than .65 three months ago tested and go back on when Psa reaches 3-5.. Seems it will be about 6months and hopefully 6 months off, Tentative protocol so far. Input from all and for all welcomed. Thanks

Xtandi
Pet scan Aug 8, 2022 showed 5 lymph nodes with CA. Urologist started me on Xtandi and referred me to an Oncologist who started Degarelix injections. Oct 25, 2022 stopped taking Xtandi due to intolerable side effects; started Bicalutamide. PSA was 0.47 in Oct with gradual increase to 4.8 in Apr. Oncologist

Effect of low endogenous testosterone
PSA now at 7.9. Biopsy showed 1 sample was Gleason 8. Starting ADT and radiation soon. Have had low testosterone (<150 ng/ml) most of my life. Non-existent libido, depression and tired most of the time. Recent studies have shown that aggressive prostate cancer more common in people with low testosterone

Vacation time again
I had the follow up appt with my MO. My PSA is down a notch to 0.2. We decided to follow the original plan of intermittent ADT and I’m starting another ADT vacation. This round of ADT had started with minimal SE’s but in the last month or so it’s gotten worse. My energy level has noticeably decreased

thoughts on virtual second opinions
Hi all,My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer about 5 weeks ago. He is 65 years old. His current MO has him on a zoladex injection and next ADT has yet to be added. I was looking into getting a second opinion at MD Anderson, Mayo and Sloan Kettering. I noticed that all offered

Cardio performance abrupt decline
Currently on Orgovyx for the last 18 months with very little side effects due to wrestling, lifting weights and hiking. Then suddenly four days ago, only a block from the beginning of my daily 2.5 mile hike my energy unexpectedly ran out. I pushed forward another block assuming I could shake off whatever

First psa test was 0.1, month later psa 0.8 month later psa 0.22 Psa remained at 0.22 for next 3 months.My urologist who did RP said it could be "reactive lymph nodes".

Is there hope? I’m dreading asking the question of “how long”…
My father was diagnosed in September ‘23 with a PSA in the 900s. It had already metastasized throughout his body in several parts of his bones (ribs, spine, hips, femur and a spot at the base of his skull) but no organs had been affected other than his prostate. We were hopeful when it began to climb

RO Advice for Salvage Rad
One of the ROs I've had a consult with wants to do salvage rad soon (Post-RP PSA is north of 0.1). However, he wants do the SRT w/o ADT. His rationale is that if we do ADT concurrently, there's no way to tell if the SRT was working. Plus, he says that if the SRT fails, then I'll be in the same boat
