Stopping Casodex before stopping Lupron
I am on day 30/34 of IMRT Salvage Radiation. I started Bicalutimide just prior to starting Leuprolide Acetate back in November. I have tolerated the ADT treatment fairly well with minimal side effects. A Decipher test was performed midway through this per my request and my Decipher score came back

Albumin protein in urine
Does anyone know what albumin protein in urine means please? My husband's last test indicates he has 50 mg/dl of albumin protein in his urine. I asked the doctor who visits him what it meant and he said not to worry, it's related to his PC. Wasn't very helpful really. He has his PSA at 19.29 ng/ml, his

STOMP - Oligometastatic PCa.
An update on the STOMP Trial.

Travel Insurance for metastatic cancer
Hi everyone, My dad is doing well at the beginning of his treatment (on a Zytiga and a double-blind trail of olaparib). His PSA numbers dropped quick and he is feeling great. He wants to go on vacation but won't go without travel insurance. I am having a hard time finding a company that will insure him

Diagnostic (Billing?) Code for PSA and T Tests?
Does anyone here know what diagnostic (billing?) code is most likely to get paid by insurance for PSA and T? It’s much easier for me to get my local PCP to issue a blood test order to my local lab than to go thru MDA but my doc always asks what billing code to use???

Hi! I'm Steve, a 61 year old who is undetectable: three PSA values 0.01 and one 0.02 for a year. I am here to listen, learn, and support. My question is at very low levels do PSA values fluctuate independent of the lab or assay used? Steve

Promising Clinical Activity of Cabozantinib + ADT in Hormone-Naïve Metastatic Prostate Cancer
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE •Cabozantinib is a small-molecule inhibitor of c-MET/VEGFR2 signaling that has yielded improved progression-free survival but not overall survival in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Based on preclinical data, the authors hypothesized that cabozantinib

Undetectable 5 years and 2 months after DX of Metastatic PC w/ a PSA of 209
Hi Battle Brothers and Sisters. I don't post much, but always follow your posts. I just had my labs done today and as usual I was suffering from pre-test PSA anxiety the past few days. I was needless to say delighted and feel very lucky that I am still undetectable. If somebody told me when I was DX'ed

Good progress on chemo .
Been a while since I’ve posted on my progress ( or lack there of) Sitting in my chair watching the deer grazing in my woods when it’s -15 F with -30 wind chill and sun coming through the window it’s going to be a good day. I finished my 4th chem infusion last week, PSA is 1.4 after starting at 15.8 .

Changed prednisone to dexamethasone with Zytiga; lowered PSA after one month
It's been advised on here by others but I wanted to update for others in our situation--where enza quits working and Zytiga may get a boost from the change. The MO easily agreed to the switch to dexa in January when my husband's psa rose 2+ points to 13.56 on 1/6/20. After using dexa for about a month
