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

clear PSMA scan but PSA still rising
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

Lycopene

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

T4 with scleratic focus
I had SBRT to L1 T9 and T10 back in july 2021. A Ga68 PSMA Pet scan from June 2022 showed no activity but identified a metastatic focus on T4 . A more recent PsmaPet scan from march 2023 showed mild activity small sclerotic foci (0.4 cm.) Some say have it ablated others say the T4 has

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

New Bone Mets Throughout Skeleton
I had a bone scan done and the results show new bone mets throughout my skeleton. My PSA has been climbing and is currently at 4.66. Looks like the cancer has worked around both the Zoladex and the Abiraterone. Not sure what is next. Apparently the oncologist that was treating me has left for a sabbatical

Does a big drop in PSA a month after the start of hormone treatment possibly represent a higher chance of cure?
Hi all, I have been researching and I have been wondering if big drops in PSA right after hormone treatment should give you more hope at a cure or if this does not change the situation at all? Father PSA of 226 dropped to 3 one month after Firmagon shot, and then 0.3 a month after that, and then 0.13

Qol Sweet Season
This is my QoL life in the north country at 79. Difficult work for about 25 days but get my resistant training and cardio work done by not going to the gym. That old 43 N Ford does its only job once a year and never failed me in the sugarbush. Nice time for friends and family to help out. I will resume

PSA doubled again within three months.
My psa has doubled yet again within three months and lung mets are growing in size, while they have only grown a few millimeters they are still growing. I have had all of the first course of treatment after the prostate was removed and have been on Lupron since 2018, Oncologist has now added Xtandi to

Seeking feedback on PSMA Scan results after 6 chemo treatments
Am at Mayo today for scans/bloodwork after 6 chemo (docetaxel + Carboplatin) treatments. My PSMA Pet Scan results are below.
