Lycopene + Sulforaphane - Forms, Dosage, Upsides, Downsides?
I've got Gleason 3+4 PCa, PMSA PET, 3T MRI, CT Bone Scan show nothing outside capsule, but 31 PSA (Age 53). Have Robotic Prostatectomy scheduled in a couple months. Done tons of research and the area I'm most "unsure" of is CAMs (Complimentary Alternative Medicines). From what I've gathered, Lycopene

PSA plateau

ADT Vacation Ending - What are your Triggers
Hey guys. For those of you who take ADT vacations, what are your triggers for resuming ADT? PSA => ? Testosterone =>? Others? Also, do you proceed with a scan once you come back from vacation or focus on the numbers 1st? I appreciate your feedback. My goal here is of course to learn from your experiences

PSA going up
So after being on lupron/zytiga for 2 years and having a PSA of <0.1, I stopped ADT last Feb. It took until about September for my testosterone to start to reappear. My PSA went up to 0.1 in September so about the same time my testosterone came back. I just got my results back and it is up to 0.2.

SBRT or Lu-PSMA for Oligometastatic HSPC? How about Both?
Here is a personal update about my case. I have been doing follow up PSMA PET scans of pelvic lymph nodes in left pelvis since that region was treated with EBRT in late 2019. PSA dropped from 0.28 to 0.14 following treatment and drifted lower but never undetectable. I have been off of ADT and using cyclic

Zytiga one week in
A week ago I ask a question about the effects of Zytiga a treatment I was about to start. The replies were all very helpful so thanks to all. For the first couple of days I felt quite rough tired and a sort of fussy brain but that has now faded and it more or less feels the same as other ADT treatments

Does PSADT calculation make sense when testosterone is increasing
During ADT break PSA increases as testosterone increases. How relevant calculation of PSADT is when testosterone is increasing?

ADT and hip replacement.
I had a hip replacement about 15 years ago and finished a year of ADT with my last Eligard injection at the end of 2020. Recently I have noticed pain in my affected hip and was wondering if any others have experienced similar. I suspect from the symptoms that I will need a hip surgery revision and that

Effect on Hair of Ending ADT
I was diagnosed with my cancer at age 56. At that time, I had developed a good sized bald patch on the top of my head. I am one month away from completing a 24 month ADT treatment plan. During that time, my wife tells me that my hair has considerably thicken over my previously bald spot. It's still pretty

Sources of PSA During ADT Break
I asked this question several years back and TA gave me an answer, which I cannot find. So, I am asking the question again. My prostate cancer took an unusual path since brachytherapy in 2011 for Gleason 3 + 3 low volume cancer. First I had a local recurrence in 2016 and lymph node (pelvic and abdominal

Anyone with metastatic prostate cancer who has refused Androgen Deprivation Treatment?
The specialists still offer only one initial treatment, androgen deprivation therapy, which may lower PSA levels for a time, but opens the door to a host of deleterious side effects, some of which doom the hapless patient before the cancer does. After reading hundreds of academic studies, learning

Bone met shrinking?
Hi all, Is it typical for bone Mets to shrink after ADT? My first scan 7 month ago showed single met on hip bone 2.8 cm x 2.1 cm in size and showed as a solid spot. My most recent scan last week showed the same met is now 1.3 cm x 1.0 cm and now appears as a very faint spot. I didn’t have any other

Endo referral
Hi I've been going through a diagnosis for about 12 months and I was about to be referred to the gynaecologist but my GP wants me to try some treatments first such as painkillers or hormones. I was on the pill when I was 17 for a few years and I didn't get on with it and I really don't want to go back

In rare flop, Merck calls it quits on Keytruda-Lynparza combo in prostate cancer
The combination of two powerful drugs with excellent clinical track records isn’t necessarily a guarantee for success. Case in point: Merck & Co. just found out that a pairing of Keytruda and Lynparza wasn’t any better than an anti-androgen therapy in patients with previously treated metastatic castration-resistant
