Break from ADT or not?
Hi everyone, my Dad was recommended 18-24 months of Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone after Radiation Therapy. We reached that time and MO said that is up to my Dad if he wants to continue the treatment or not. Lately my dad had high blood pressure over 200 and he ended up in ER, but now the blood pressure is

Provenge Complete
Well folks, I completed Provenge with no issues or SE’s to note. I understand my PSA will not be lowered by this treatment and it has gone way up, from 24 first of October to 58 last week. I am still waiting to hear from Sarah Cannon Research to review possible clinical trials. In a way I feel like

Do Sulforaphane, Melatonin, and Cayenne Pepper work?
I've been a lurker for a while. First time post. I have had a radical prostatectomy, chemo (docetaxel - 6 infusions 3 weeks apart), radiation (38 doses) and Lupron (18 months). I am done with all treatment for now. PSA minimum was 0.02, now at 0.04. I've been reading a lot about sulforaphane (BROQ)

BROQ/Prostaphane
Last week I had my 3 monthly PSA check and was happy and surprised to see that it had remained unchanged at 0.07. It had previously been creeping up and I am not currently on any treatement since my Cyberknife to a lymph node in December 21 together with 6 months of bicalutamide. I take a large variety

bicalutamide no longer as effective?
After more than two years of bicalutamide monotherapy and repeated PSA<0.1 I just received a 0.6. Before the bicalutamide my PSMA scan showed activity in only the seminal vesicle region. PSA was 2.5 at that time. Lupron had ceased being effective. Bicalutamide had a terrific response. I don’t think PSMA

My PSA level

My trajectory after a "vacation" and a new metastasis
My backgound briefly (full details in Profile): aggressive form, BRCA2 mutation, RP in 2017, then 39 sessions of radiation, and 3 yrs of Lupron. All at Smilow Cancer Hospital. As a result, my PSA was undetectable for 2.5 years, and in 9/21 I was put on a "vacation" from treatment. Then PSA started

What to do?
Hi All, At the end of August 2023 I completed 8 rounds of docetaxel. On 9/13/23 my PSA was 5.7, 10/30/23 8.25 and 11/27/23 it’s now 16.72. This year has been a shit show. I know my MO will put me on pluvicto. Here’s my quandary: I am a single gay man. Parents gone. No siblings. All I have to really

Sudden onset of severe leg pain
Yesterday my husband was strolling about the house as usual. Last night he experienced debilitating pain in his right thigh to the point he collapsed when trying to put weight on it, and then could not sleep because of the pain. He has needed a walker for even a few steps. We visited his PCP today

Steroids and Radium 223
Hi Hopefully my husband will start Radium 223 in 4-6 weeks. He recently stopped abiraterone after 5 months as his PSA was doubling every month. While he was on abiraterone he was taking 2mgs of dexamethasone, although 1mg for the last month. He’s currently taking 6mgs of prednisilone but our question

Signatera tumor dna test
Has anyone heard of using the Signatera test from Natera to detect the presence of prostate cancer recurrence when PSA is rising but the PSMA PET scan is negative?

PSA Dropped after 22 days of Zytiga
On Nov 1, my cancer was diagnosed as castrate resistant. Abiraterone and Prednisone was added to Lupron. On November 3 I had a Lupron shot and started Abiraterone and Prednisone on November 10. Today I had a PSA test. My PSA dropped from 0.8 on November 1 to 0.44 today. I was not expecting such dramatic

Final Path Report After RALP (Dad - 74, G7- 4+3) , what’s next ?
Hi All, I had posted about a month ago about my dad with G7 - 4+ 3. We originally thought there were bone Mets but it just turned out to be another bone anomaly identified in the PSMA PET scan. We went ahead with RALP and have shared the final path report here. While the MRI showed no signs of

BAT trial update
I commenced the trial about 2 months ago and I have now had 2 cycles of treatment consisting of testosterone injections and carboplatin infusions. 5 days ago I had my first CT and bone scans and the trial leader tells me my 3 detectable rib metastases are 'stable'. The stable assessment is good enough

What is reco diet to take abi with food?
I am on Lupron and Abi two months now with <.1 PSA down from 2.2, MO says I can do abi w food if I want, so is it an okay idea to go with 500 or 250mg per day vs 1000, and if so, how many grams of fat constitute the low fat breakfast to eat with the abi? 🙂

Detection of Small Cell Prostate Cancer
I understand Small Cell Prostate Cancer (SCPC) may produce less PSA. How do you detect SCPC? Is it detectable by PSMA PET/CT scan?

Combine standard care with alternative care
The University of Maryland reported two cases of terminated PCs by combining standard care treatment with an alternative treatment. By reducing the PSAs to less than 3, the clioquinol + zinc killed more cancer than testosterone could renew, therefore termination. My PSA in three months went from 58
