Is HT Treatment necessary after Orchiectomey?
Its been a while since I sent you gentlemen an update. I did go for Keytruda, started it in March of 2022, but stopped in September because of pretty significant skin reaction. My PSA went from 3.31 in February 2022 to 0.09 3 months ago, so it definitely worked. In the meantime I have gone through with

PSA SCREEN VS SYMPTOMATIC
My current PSA test is called PROSTATE SPC AG, SCREEN. My previous PSA test from the same lab was called PROSTATE SPC AG, SYMPTOMATIC. Both labs were off the same order from my MO. Whats the difference?

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Emotional lability and LT ADT
At certain times of extra stress, like awaiting a PSA test result, I have gotten into wrist-slap trouble by making awkward humor and remarks to Clinic staff. They get PO'ed and tattle to my MO. It's really not like me and the latest incident prompted me to look into ADT and emotional SE's. Bingo!

Possible Cure
Hi, I was diagnosed initially 2 years ago as Stage 4 with mets to the bones. Low volume. Gleason 8-9, PSA less than 2 from the onset. I had radiation to the prostate only. After 2 years of Lupron/Zytiga, everything has shrunk or disappeared via PSMA PET. Everything has been good,(but with med

GS8 in one core Brachy boost and no HT
Six years ago I was diagnosed with PC. Only one core of 13 showed GS8 ie. 4mm in a 10mm core. I wasn't willing to undergo HT and fortunately that was optional at BCCA with my PSA of 5.2 and only one core with cancer. I had all the side effects like fatigue, frequent urinating and the worst being the

Obtaining EpiSwitch PSE

CHAMP Trial/Small Cell Chemo Update
If you don’t feel like reading my bio, I’ll give a synopsis: My dad is only 53 with advanced metastatic PC that spread to his liver earlier this year. His PSA had been undetectable so it really threw us for a loop. My dad finished 6 sessions of carbo & etoposide chemo about 3 weeks ago. He is still randomly

Hello all. I am a 53 year old gay man and I have had raised PSA since 2020. My urologist performed a DRE and felt nothing and decided that we should watch the number and see what happens. 1 year later, the urologist decided to send me for an MRI and it showed no signs of cancer. Feeling relieved, I

At last I've come to a decision.
Hi all, Well after heaps of research and asking questions and discussing everything with my RO and Urologist about treatment for my 4+4 PSA 8 PCa, I have decided to go the path of EBRT and HT. Starts as soon as I get back from my trip to the USA in late November with the insertion of the barrier gel

How to find a MO Specializing in PCa
I just completed a clinical trial lasting two years. My PSA has slowly risen from 0.06 to 0.12 over the last 15 months or so. My medical team was surgical and now I'd like to move to monitoring with a qualified MO as my PSA moves upward. Where does one start to find an MO who's focused on PCa? The
