New PSA reading update
Got the results of the latest bloodwork today - my prognosis 0.1 measured 0.1 - put a smile on my face!!! So things are proceeding in a steady enough decline that I can accurately predict the value 3 months ahead. (see the curve on my profile) Take aways are: no noticable different on the decline

Help with interpreting test results
Hello! I'm new here and have already learned so much - I was wondering if anyone could help with fathoming what is going on? I'm a 34 year old woman. I initially went to the GP in August with an irregular heartbeat and a very sudden onset of general anxiety/physical feelings of doom, as well as trouble

Low PSA, high metastasis, ready for chemo+
I was first diagnosed in 2019 with Stage 3 PCa — although I had regular DREs and my PSA always hovered between 2.5 and 3.4. Now, after treatment, and PSA rising from undetectable to .4 and .5, my PSMA Pet scan shows that the cancer has metastasized pretty extensively. I’m under the care of Dr. Eugene

Do lower glucose levels slow the prostate cancer growth? 70-85 level better than 90-100 level? Continuous Glucose Monitor usage?
Anyone w/ avg fasting blood glucose in the 85-100 range, use a continuous glucose monitor to learn how to lower their levels to 70-85? Do men with average fasting blood glucose levels below 80 live longer than guys above 90? These are not diabetes or pre-diabetic figures but is it possible or likely

Salvage radiation is in my future. What kind / technique is available for Salvage radiation?
hi, I have a RO who says I am being observed for possible salvage radiation. I had a RP about two years ago with a Gleason 9 and stage T3a. My post RARP PSA was not detectable. However, Recently my PSA is creeping up. I think at PSA of 0.1, the Salvage RT process will begin. Are there several

If I Could Turn Back Time (Think Cher's dynamic voice...)
I found this post by RMontana on the Active Surveillance forum and think it deserves more attention and discussion. Wish that every new member here would read it. It is never too late to think and operate in this mode. A lot of this is applicable to Those of us with Advanced PCa. Scout Do-Over

Duration of ADT
I need to make a decision about the duration of ADT. I had a prostatectomy in 2017. The pathology was great - everything suggested the disease was confined to the prostate. My PSA never went to zero. It has increased very slowly since then. I refused to have radiation until we has something to shoot

Update after 6 months on SARMS Osterine and Carderine along with ADT
I said I would keep my experiment n=1 with SARMS updated for any fellow warriors. PSA still undetectable: 12/7/2022 PSA <0.1 all liver numbers normal. Briefly: RP 2015, then 37 treatments of EBRT after PSA started rising shortly after. Bio recurrence 2019. May-25-2022 TEST RESULTS: PSA 15.2, T

Metformin and hormonal resistance
I was looking over my notes from a Snuffy Myers talk at the PCRI in 2014. Here are my notes from the talk: Men with metastatic PCA and on hormonal therapy often become hormone refractive. If PTEN is present, then hormonal failure is almost guaranteed. If PTEN is blocked, hormonal resistance is

SUVmax ???
Hello All , from a previous post : The SUVmax can discriminate PCA metastasis degree & oligo-metastasis status. The ADT treated oligo-metastasis patient may still have disease progression when the primary prostatic carcinoma focus SUVmax is greater than 28.22 . This was sourced from Frontiers in Oncology

ADT or no ADT
Diagnosed with 4+3, mri shows 2 lesions in prostate only. Starting proton therapy soon, urologist and oncologist recommend 6 mos of ADT. The latest stody for unfavorable is a difference of .7 years?( hard to understand the study results). Trying to make the decision whether or not to do the ADT.

How long have you warriors been on ADT for advanced low volume PCa?
I’m 62, diagnosed 3 months ago with advanced prostate cancer, metastasized with bone involvement. Started Lupron 2 months ago and Zytiga 2 weeks ago. They tell me I’ll never come off the meds.😕 I’m looking to see how long some of you guys have been doing this ADT thing, either my same regiment or something

Leg Cramps
For the last week I have had severe cramps in both calves. I have also been having mild occasional restless leg syndrome for about 6-9 months very sporadic. Is this a side effect of ADT? or am I just starting to feel the effects of a 75 year old body breaking down?

ADT and IBS symptoms worse
I've been taking Bicalutamide hormone therapy tablets to lower my PSA levels prior to radiotherapy treatment. My Consultant asked that I also have a one of shot of another ADT (in addition to the tablet) immediately prior to start of RT. Since I had the shot ( 4 days ago) my IBS seems worse than

ADT Eligard
taking 6 months of Eligard. Taking 28 radiation treatments in first 3 months. if ADT Eligard starves prostrate cancer cells and reduces testosterone, what is rationale for continued use if radiation killed all cancer cells? Just wondering Thanks
