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

A CT scan and bone scan revealed nothing

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

PC drugs and Kidney Disease
My husband has kidney disease and I am wondering if any of you out that may also have kidney disease may know of any drugs we need to avoid regarding ADT? And/Or procedures? Thank you!

Semaglutide et al
I have never been obese (BMI >=30) but I have certainly been overweight (BMI>=25). There are many PCa papers associating "obesity" with poor survival. BMI is a surrogate for visceral adiposity (not always very accurate). Mortality risk with a BMI of 29 is presumably not much different than for a BMI

Consulting on next steps
As I am 10 months PSA undetectable and clear on basic bone scans I have started the process of consultation re staying on ADT (zoladex) and Apalutamide continuously or moving to intermittent (and what would that involve) or getting more treatment (J591 for example aimed at micromets).

I'm reading a book by Dr Edward Friedman [i]The New Testosterone Treatment. [/i]I am finding it fascinating and confusing. He claims that the acting hormone for promoting Pca growth is estradiol and not testosterone at all. He makes a very convincing case for his claims. I'm trying to reconcile this

On path for an MRI-guided SBRT
April 2023: After not too much activity on my side on this forum (aside from following a few threads), thought it time for a little update, as I am getting closer to a "definitive" therapy, after my initial diagnosis in Oct. 2019. In the last year or so, I have been doing imaging - PSMA PET-CT in March
