PSA bounce after LDR brachytherapy?
Hi all, First, an update, as my last full update about various issues was five weeks after LDR brachytherapy (almost two years ago), in which I reported that, thankfully, I had no urinary, bowel, or sexual function issues. That update is here in the link below, and I'm happy to report that it's all

CDK12 gene mutation
My husband continues to be hormone sensitive but Sept. 4, 2023 he developed intense and unrelenting pain in his right mandible. The oncologist and palliative care nurse prescribed morphine and dilaudid to help reduce the pain. These pain meds are helping although he can still feel pain and gets breakthrough

Just completed a whole gland TULSA procedure
This was salvage treatment after failure of SBRT by MRIdian in Mar 2020.PSA nadir after SBRT was 2.4 and it rose to 5.3 just 3 years later, when a PSMA scan showed 2 possible tumours within the gland. A subsequent biopsy confirmed local tumour recurrence with Gleason 4+4. Interventional radiotherapy

Opinion sought for ADT treatment duration
I started taking Orgovyx tablets last April. Then I went through the typical 45 radiation treatments of the prostate. 3 months ago my PSA had dropped from 8 to 0.7. Last week it had dropped to 0.1 ng/ml. A biopsy last year showed 1 sample identified as Gleason 8. My urologist thinks I can stop taking

Blood Test Results.
Some of you will remember it took me a month to get blood test results because in the first instance the Doc who arranged them wanted to give me the results. Made about 3 appointments which were cancelled because he changed his working days or whatever so eventually decided that just to get the results

PSMA PET Scan - Help Interpreting Report?
Hello, My husband had his first PSMA PET scan done today, and I am hoping someone who understands PSMA PET reports can help us interpret/understand the results as well as what to expect or ask for in terms of any further testing and/or treatment? My profile is updated with his history, but in a nutshell

PSA increase.
My PSA has increased from .13 to .73 in 3 1/2 months. Does this mean I am castrate resistant. Or does it need to increase over a couple more samples first. Can my PSA change this much for other reasons. I am currently on Lupron. Thanks for any input.
