Adenocarcinoma / Ductal Carcinoma PC
We just found out my 86 yr old father's "bladder cancer" biopsy is actually ductal carcinoma. The tumor was on the urethra, and has been bleeding since August 2022. His PSA was 4.2, which was the same psa I had when I was diagnosed. However, I have adenocarcinoma. With the knowledge of his cancer

No Longer Undetectable
Hello Everyone, I just posted this on APC, but want to post it on FPC also as I know some of you are not on APC any longer and I am looking for advice.

PSA fluctuations on docetaxel?
Hello all, is it normal for the PSA to increase and decrease while on docetaxel? Dad’s enrolled in a clinical trial and is receiving chemotherapy (docetaxel). His PSA was declining but suddenly increased to 1.26 two cycles/doses ago, and to 1.39 last cycle/dose. Wondering if this is indicating his cancer

Does a biopsy of a recurrent LN will help in anything ?
Hi all, short version of my Bio: RP in 2019 followed by 33 sessions SBRT with short term ADT (6 mo). Reccurence in 2021, SRT to one LN in 2022, 5 sessions with short term ADT (6 mo). As soon the ADT stopped the PSA started rising, it´s 0.53 now. A new PSMA PET last week showed a bunch of small points

Low PSA producing PCa. MO discontinued Abi +Pred. Is this right?
My partner is Gleason 9, grade 5, BRCA 1. Highest PSA at diagnosis and prostatectomy was 2.67. Started on Lupron right away. Abi and pred started when PSA went to .26 a year after surgery. We’re in Florida for a few months and went to Moffit for a second opinion. Doctor took him off abi and pred right

ART AACR Journal ; Effect of Sulforaphane in Men with BCR after Radical Prostatectomy
I have posted an NIH study with similar findings and have noted that I have taken 20mg of stabilized Sulforaphane for 2 1/2 years now (study was 60mg for M6 or 6 months)...who knows if my dosing is sufficient, but the length of supplementation is far greater. Regardless, I keep taking the supplement

Hi .So my bloodstone and PSA is at 2.58 up from 1.8 over 4 months ago As I’ve said no mets complete clear scan and PET done in 2020 with PSA around 0.2 was clear but I think my PSA would have been too low to for any positive results.So my MO has told me I have ( in his words ) incurable cancer and has

Lupron and Abiraterone post treatment expectations?
Ive had RP; PSA didn’t go to zero; started Lupron and Abi + Prednisone and then 33 radiation treatments of whole pelvic region. PSA has been undetected for 7 mos now. Hope to stop all treatments after 6/24 Has anyone walked similar path? Did PSA stay at zero? Did libido return? Did body hair return

Does anyone else have a fave song for helping with the stress of having advanced PCa?
Dx in early 2022. A lot of tension and stress built as treatment escalated -- from Firmagon through radiation and since then abi+lupron. Especially during daily RT sessions with the big honking IMRT machine rotating around me. Tension exacerbated by knowing that PSMA-CT scan spine spots (3) were

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and prednisone. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle. His PSA dropped until the sixth infusion

bleeding after hyperbaric oxygen therapy
I had prostate cancer and prostate removed late 2018, 6 months later had 35 rounds of radiation in prostate bed because PSA was rising. All was ok until October 2022 when I had a heart attack. Cardiologist put me on blood thinners and 3 weeks later I had severe hematuria and had to be hospitalized.

Xtandi failure?
After a successful - but short - period on Bicalutamide + Leuprorelin my PSA has risen from 1.1 to 1.7, to (now) 3.3. My last scan showed some micro-mets on my back, but organs were clear.Is it safe to say that Xtandi does not work for me? To be honest, I've had a miserable time on it, culminating in

PSA post salvage radiation
My husband, at diagnosis had 3+4 on a couple of samples and chose to have surgery. He had clean margins and reached undetectable PSA after Prostatectomy. Near the end of 5th year after surgery his PSA became detectable. I’m confused, If clean margins how would cancer be outside the prostate? He

Has others received treatment at MSK, how did they do
I am being referred to MSK for a trial or treatment due to the treatment not working. Liver Mets had increased not decreased, getting a liver biopsy on Monday. The PSA had gone up instead of down, the trial is plivicto so we will see what happens. Since I am over 4 hours away and the only driver I will
