PSA after salvage Brachy
an update for those that have asked questions about Salvage HDR Brachytherapy: I’m nearly 3 months out and had PSA test yesterday. Results were: 0.5. Using Abbott CMIA. This equals the nadir in 2014. Headed in right direction. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Metformin and rosuvastatin
It is hard to find a report/article on Metformin's possible positive association with PC that is not full of medical speak. How does anyone know if their NKX3.1 is low or high? 3 years ago I was diagnosed with unfavorable Gleason 7, with an initial psa of 6.4. Three months later I had an RP and have

Treatment Update IMRT with ADT 18 months later
Follow up 18 months later. I am due for another ADT injection in December. Spoke to the Urologist and he feels 18months is enough keeping with the European standard while the Oncologist would like me to stay the course and do the full 2 years. I am in favor of 18 months also, that would be nice. Still

PSMA Score 5
My husband has a PSA of 0.97 following a prosatectomy 10 years ago and radiation. He is on Zytiga but PSA doubled in the last 6 months. He had a PSMA Scan this past week and came back with a Score 5. Wondering if anyone else out there has gotten this result and what the next line of treatment is.

Vacation from Lupron/Zytiga - Temporary or Permanent!
I have been on ADT (Lupron/Zytiga) for 2.5 years. PSA and testosterone immeasurable currently. Looking to go on "vacation" from meds. History: Gleason 8/9 with a PSA of only 1.89 (on Finasteride). CT/Bone scan did not show any definite metastasis. PSMA PET showed "possible" metastasis in 4 spots

Starting Abiraterone and predniSONE
Tomorrow morning I take my first dose of Abiraterone (Zytiga) and predniSONE for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. I don't know what kind of side effects I would get. I hope I would tolerate the treatment well. Reaching this stage of my cancer I reflect on my 12 year journey with prostate

Latest PSA! Undetectable
My latest (11/8) PSA was <0.1 ng/mL. This is my third in a row that was undetectable since finishing chemotherapy and radiation. All of my other labs look excellent and my Hemoglobin A1c was 5.4% Consistent exercise has contributed to that greatly and also how well I’m feeling I am feeling

PSMA pet scan negative
My PSA was 0.1 on july 17th and 0.3 on Oct 16th. PSMA scan was done on Nov 7th but was negative. Am I safe to assume there must be some prostate cancer cell present that are not showing up on the scan? I am meeting with my MO at Dana Farber next week Any suggestions moving forward? I appreciate the

Bone Pain
I have been having significant bone pain in my shoulder that keeps me awake at night. I thought that maybe I was just being a hypochondriac and assuming that every ache or pain was due to "my cancer". Or maybe I fell but forgot about it. Well it has been getting a lot worse and I just had a PSMA scan

PSA & T is up
We started this journey in June 2022 and hit this PC with triple therapy to stop the cancer that had already attacked his whole skeleton. My husband has now developed a cancerous tumor in his head in the sinus cavity and behind his eye which has caused him double vision and pain. It’s wrapped around

Post Transplant psoriatic arthritis treatment
So, here goes! I'm 48 and just "celebrated" 3 years Kidney-versary September 14th! I have PKD and was having a lot of pain and other issues before, so even though I was still around 17% function I was listed for transplant. I was very fortunate though to have a living donor come forward to donate and

Hi- I have posted a few times about my brother who was diagnosed in March 2021. For 18 months he did really well on Abiterone. His PSA went from his initial diagnosis of 52 to under 0.03 for several months. He has Kaiser HMO and unfortunately his oncologist retired at the time his PSA starting trending

UCLA RO says that since it's been only 4 mo since stop of 4 ms RT & 4ms orgo and my T is 80 - more t than baseline (286) may trigger cancer
I thought that you could take TRT of 100 ml and you would be safe from reoccurrence.
Oncologist today at UCLA says he wants me to work with a specialist in TRT and he would only feel comfortable then giving his OK if ONLY if the testosterone specialist takes my testosterone back to ONLY my baseline
