cardio and cramp
I wonder if anyone had any advice on calf cramps. My husband 51, with aPC is on Daralutomide and ADT and just finished 6 cycles of docetaxel, is keen to ramp up his cardio and weight training. The problem is whenever he tries to run or play tennis or even go on cross trainer he gets a cramp in his

Rising PSA after salvage radiation
Diagnosed March 2018 (Gleason 7), prostatectomy July 2018. PSA rose to 0.1 by September 2020 which triggered salvage radiation and 6 months ADT. This year PSA began a slow rise from <0.01 to 0.02 to 0.04 and now is 0.06. Wondering if this is worrisome? Also, I changed my atorvastatin dose from 20mg

Transdermal low dose patch Estradiol for ADT S.E.
Use it at all? start using it right away with Casodex/Lupron initial treatment or wait to see if you are having S.E. ? Does primary doc do this or ask RO/MO team?

I am trying to decide if at the end of my ADT treatment in Dec 22 if I need to go on something else or just wait and see if PSA increases.

Antidepressants and ED
I've been on ADT for 4.5 years. Lupron and Zytiga. We all know the sexual health problems with that. I was getting depressed quite badly at times so I started Citalopram a few days ago. It's already helping but I have noticed a bit more ED. Maybe I have to give it some time to see. There are other anti

Vit B12 extremely high
So, I have stage 4 de novo prostate CA. On Lupron, in between 5th & 6th docetaxel chemo. Had to stop abiraterone due to elevated bilirubin & will try restarting after chemo is over. Recently diagnosed with MGUS (Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) which is unrelated to the prostate.

Another vacation?
MO wants to take me off ADT after 5 mos PSA down .07 from 3.14 June - October Before the treatment began, the PSA had a 2 mo slope, for the first time. This would be my 3 rd vacation, and beginning of 4th year since 2018 salvage robot prost. I was put on degarelix after 6 mos biological recurrence

Dad is now 73. Lives in Sydney, Australia. Ethnicity is Caucasian. PC history below: 2020 May: PSMA test and rising PSA at 4 give rise to biopsy. Reveals Gleason 4+3 stage 2b. 2020 June: Ends up getting robotic RPC. In post surgery biopsy PC did just breach Prostate capsule. But margins negative.

2 yr since DX
Today is one of those dates a person remembers but really doesn't want to remember - it was 2 years ago today when my urologist's nurse called me to say "you have mets. I'm sorry". those two small sentences are burned into my memory, i can remember exactly where i was, what direction i was facing,

Workouts and ADT
I typically swim, bike, run 3 days a week and lift 3 others. For example Saturday I ran 6.2 mile race and today I swam up and back 30 laps (our gym pool is not olympic sized). Lifting is where I need help, Specifically related to ADT. I have PSMA test coming in a couple weeks, then ADT/Radiation. I

ADT Holiday Unexpected Consequences
After stopping Lupron and then, 5 months later abiraterone/dexamethasone, I began to experience what I believe to be arthritis joint pains. Not only in my hips (previously diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis) but other joints as well. I did a two week taper-off from the dex but I believe, and

PSA is relatively low, but I am having bone pain in my pelvis and spine
So here is my background: Dx in May 2020 Stage 4 with widespread mets from skull to knees, Gleason 9. PSA in the 800s. Started out with Firmagon and 5 rounds of Taxotere. PSA went to 0.1. We switched from Firmagon to Orgovyx in August 2021. In January 2022 we added Nubeqa. PSA has held pretty steady

Current PCa treatment options in the UK do NOT include Triplet Therapy!
Today, I had a phone discussion with my uro-oncology support team and they told me that they NEVER give both chemo and an AR drug (e.g. abi, enza, etc) to prostate cancer patients at the same time - even if advanced. Apparently, the UK "gold standard" of treatment is to give a de novo APC patient either

Is ADT beneficial after castration resistance sets in?
If PSA is rising at the same doubling time (3 weeks) as it was without ADT (when I was Castration sensitive and did intermittent ADT breaks), then is it useful to keep taking ADT? If so, why? Is that because the ADT would be slowing some castration sensitive cancer, even though the castration resistant

Legal action against all this medical negligence... How to go about it?
Has anyone ever tried to take legal action against medical negligence?? I was never mentioned the possibility that my ovarian cyst and fibroid might have been endometriosis. Was never diagnosed with it despite my many years of suffering with PMS and heavy bleeding etc. I was totally against surgery

PSMA PET agents
Hi all- I'm a yearand 1/4 out from RARP for intermediate grade PCA with 'low risk' genomics on the[u] [/u]tumor After 9 months of 'undetectable PSA', I've now started to rise and am at .09 now. So looking at PSMA PET down the road. There are 2 agents in common use- Gd68 and 'Pylarify' F18. Sounds
