Stage 4 ~ Now Losing Blood Somewhere
Hi, my husband was diagnosed stage 4 with lymph node and bladder neck margins involvement 3/2018. He has done chemo, radiation, and hormone therapy over the past 5 years. His PSA increased quickly starting in October 2022 and by December it was 27. Hormone therapy isn’t working as before, it appears

Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone level seems to have plateaued at 250 post 2018-19 IMRT, ADT and brachyboost; was never more than 270 pre-treatment. Criteria for starting/stopping TRT? What are its pros and cons? Responses to it from men here? Many thanks, EdinBaltimore

Incontinence after RP and ADT
I had a RO approximately 2 1/2 years ago with a recurrence 12 months later. I have had 37 sessions of radiotherapy and am in month 16 of 18 hormone therapy in the UK. My incontinence seemed to solve itself around 12 months after RP but never fully. In the past 12 months I still suffer from minor involuntary

Enzalutamide or Darolutamide
Hi, I have advanced metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer and as well as my usual three monthly ADT (Lucrin-Depot) injection, I have been offered either Enzalutamide (Xtandi) or Darolutamide (Nubeqa). My PSA is currently below 0.1 due to the Lucrin-Depot. I am a bit nervous at taking additional

If all treatment has failed do you continue with ADT?
Now that all treatment has failed to stop the beast do you continue ADT ? Husband has failed out of 6 pluvicto and now 6 Jevtana. No further treatment is planned. Any reason to continue?

Followup on friend I mentioned.
He just got biopsy back. Lotta 4+3. His wife however, is telling me the Doc is saying it's Stage 1., which is absurd unless I'm woefully ill-informed. There is a good chance of miscommunication here. They go back to Urologist Thursday, so perhaps I'm posting this prematurely. (I have their permission

PSA after 4-5 months on Lupron (Scholz)?
Just watched a Scholz (PCRI) video posted last week about PSA. He said multiple times that PSA should reach a nadir of <0.1 after 4-5 months on 1st generation ADT and that if it didn't "[i]something's wrong, that is an unusual type of prostate cancer that has some hormone resistance and studies over

Triple Therapy
I started with Lupron+Abiraterone + Docetaxel. As I mentioned before elevated liver enzymes caused MO to place me on an Abiraterone vacation after cycle 1 of Docetaxel. Docetaxel was reduced to 3/4 dosage. Yesterday, I received my 3rd cycle of 3/4 dosage of Docetaxel, my 3 month injection of Lupron

Almost forgot I have PC
I have been off the grid for a while. Back in late November, I started having bladder problems including bleeding, urgency, frequency and incontinence. In December I was diagnosed with stage 3/b bladder cancer. In late January I had open Cystectomy and was in the hospital for 10 days. My MO put my PC

Enzalutamide/Xtandi monotherapy as ADT with fewer side effects than Lupron
Enzalutamide monotherapy can improve the quality of live for advanced prostate cancer patients. Thank you, Prof. Tombal, for promoting this arm in the Embark trial! Enzalutamide does not lower testosterone and estrogen, it even increases the level of these. This avoids the following side effects of

Xtandi (enzalutamide) alone is superior to ADT alone at preventing metastases in "high-risk" recurrent men
"High-Risk"recurrence was defined as men who have had primary therapy (prostatectomy or radiation) but have had rising PSA but no detectable (on bone scan/CT) metastases yet and T≥150 ng/dl, and: • PSA doubling time ≤ 9 months, or • PSA≥ 1 ng/ml post-prostatectomy, or • PSA≥ nadir+2 ng/ml post-primary

Low T
My husband has been on "vacation" from ADT, zytiga and prednisone for a year. His PSA is tested every 3 months. Today's number is still <0.1 ng/ml. However, his T was slowly building...17, 24, 42 and now dropping to 34. Should I be worried?

Rethinking Radiation to spine
Has anybody here had radiation to spine mets as treatment only? Not for pain relief necessarily. I am waiting for approval from insurance to radiate 4 smalls spots only seen on Pylarify PET. I had the risks explained to me and my concern is that maybe I should let the ADT and 2nd gen do its work and

Additional Drug Choice
I started my ADT treatment with Eligard and Xtandi but had to change due to the cardiovascular side effects. I have been on Orgovyx alone for 10 months. My PSA is undetectable and my testosterone is 13. The drug is doing what it should. Side effects are hot flashes, fatigue, weight gain, and muscle loss

Next Step?
I have been treated for more than 10 years (except for 3 vacations during the first 5 years) and for the most part have been on Lupron and Zytiga. Starting 2 years ago my PSA starting rising from below .05 (MSKCC doesn't measure anything lower than that) up to about .32 over the course of a year. At
