My dear father is ill
Hello to everyone! I am concerned daughter of 76 years old father, looking for help. He was diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma, grade group 3, Gleason 4+3=7 in August this year.

Sufficient Investigation?
My brother is a bit of an ostrich, over his prostate problems. He ignored his poor urinary flow for years, and despite my repeated advice which he ignored, he subsequently had to be admitted to the emergency department due to significant obstruction. His GFR had fallen dangerously to 10. He was in

Now what? Second go-around of docetaxel not responding.
I am 65 years old and was Diagnosed 8 years ago with stage 4 PC. Metastasis to hips, pelvis, ribs and many lymph nodes. Took 6 rounds of docetaxel followed by ongoing Lupron injections and then 3 years of Zytiga. PSA was driven down to 2.0 from 76 with 1st 6 rounds of docetaxel. Zytiga drove PSA down

ART mpMRI Accuracy Detecting Serious PCa Revised Criteria for Biopsy
231211 ART mpMRI Accuracy Detecting Serious PCa Revised Criteria for Biopsy I am a big proponent for use of a mpMRI during AS (active surveillance). I also believe it has a place in the routine monitoring of PCa in men who have not been diagnosed with PCa. I had PSA’s well below 4.0 and neither

Small cell advanced prostate cancer spread to liver and lungs.
This is a request for a near neighbour and friend of mine, Justin, who lives 2 streets away in the UK. He is appx. 53. Please do not read the history in my profile as that sadly relates to me. Justin was diagnosed with a PSA over 100 and widespread to bones. Justin has burned through the treatments in

PsA diagnose
I'm told I have PsA now and not PMR. On prednisone and MTX. 20 mg methotrexate and reducing prednisone down to now 14 mgIs having PsA mean that what I read on this forum for PMR not meaningful? This forum is so informative.

Intense jaw pain (pt.2)
Three months ago my husband developed intense right jaw pain. After multiple scans showing "something" (thankfully no PSMA activity) he had a surgical bone biopsy 11/29. Two days ago we received the pathology report but have not been able to speak with the Dr. to help us understand it. The good news

3,100 PSA!
After two (2) Pluvicto infusions, my PSA went from 2,000. to 3,000. I haven't had any hormone treatments for approximately six months, and was subsequently told my Dr. should have kept me on Standard of Care (SoC) right through Pluvicto. Q1: Anyone out there know of any options open to me in this

Testosterone issue.
I had a follow up visit with my PCP last month. Of course he knows about my advanced PC. He ordered a round of lab blood exams, as always. About a week later, I got a call from his office to tell me PCP is is concerned about low testosterone count<50 and wants to repeat lab exam, they told me come early

New Here. Overwhelmed.
48 yrs old. PSA Blood test from a physical came back with a reading of 100. Biopsy results came back with 2 Gleason 4+4's and the rest 4+3's earlier this week. Appointment with urologist Monday to discuss these results. I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared. What is the next step for me? Also does anyone

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports

Chemo for an 86-year-old with stage 4 PC.
Started all this at 86, stage 4. 3 months on Orgovyx brought PSA from 72 to 1.8; next week I'm adding Zytiga, and if that helps and I can deal with this drug I'm going to press the MO to start me on Chemo. Do you think I'm setting myself up way too much?

Moved from Abi to Nubeqa and saw a PSA increase
I recently switched from Abiraterone/Prednisone to Nubeqa because of the high blood pressure that I had with Abi requiring additional BP meds. I was previously .058 a month ago when I switched and .109 today, almost double in a month. Any one with experience with this switch?

I am quite mad (not with anyone in particular). I had a steady decrease in PSA during my first 3 round of docetaxel. It was 15 before starting, 3 after the first infusion, 1.5 after the second, 1.01 after the third. Each time it was measure 3 weeks from the infusion (on the day before the next infusion
