RP in 2020 Gleason 7 (4+3) PSA 14 Been on Orgovyx for 6 months of an 18 month prescribe. Just finished 39 daily IMRT treatments. PSA remains <.05 Should I be thinking about adding Nubeqa or not? And if so, when?

My 5 Year Blood Test Results
Thanks to Professor Richard J. Wassersug PhD, I started applying estradiol gel (tE2) to lower my testosterone levels in an effort to suppress the proliferation of my PCa recurrence. It has been a miracle hormone for me with ONLY tiny boobs as a side effect, and I haven't seen a doctor in about 6 years

Fluctuation in free PSA (fPSA)
I am on AS and diligent about the psa test. Thankfully psa readings have been stable. However, fPSA fluctuates between 21% and 28%. Current one was 26% why the fluctuation in the fPSA level? Any significance to the fluctuation ?

Is Bicalutamide needed after Orchiectomy
Hi, My 73 years old dad has been in remission since last summer. I would like some opinion on the current medication that his doctor has put him on. - Bicalutamide (50 mg): He has been taking this daily since June 2022. His doctor has told him that he might have to take it for two more years. Is this

zytiga and me
After I completed radiation to my prostate they started me on zytiga and prednisone. For eight months it dropped my PSA and then stopped working. I now take xtandi which, unfortunately, has also stopped working. The Zytiga was okay but the prednisone was a bit of a problem. A bit of mood changes and

Not the news I was hoping for
Just had my second PSMA/PET scan - the first one was in October and was clear - my PSA had risen to 0.2. My PSA has been jumping around but has trended up the last two months to 2.5. So I went to Mayo for my scan today. Impression 1. Worsening of T9 hypermetabolic lesion (miPSMA score 3). 2. New

Travel insurance and prostate cancer
I have had HIFU for prostate cancer that was only partially successful. Subsequently my PSA started to rise again so I was treated 5 years ago with docetaxel followed by decapeptyl hormone therapy starting 4 years ago. I want to go on holiday. Can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that will

Best use of Psa to guide intermittent hormone therapy
presently on relugolix + Darolutamide for local reccurrence and will go off these drugs if Psa is less than .65 three months ago tested and go back on when Psa reaches 3-5.. Seems it will be about 6months and hopefully 6 months off, Tentative protocol so far. Input from all and for all welcomed. Thanks

Physical, Mental, and Diet to slow PC progression.
Ever since being diagnosed with PC last October, I’ve watched my PSA go from 9.2 down to 5.3 and bounce up to 7.0 and back down a bit. After the initial shock of the diagnosis wore off, I got busy living again practicing a healthy lifestyle with diet, exercise, and supplements. Then came Covid in March

Intro
Good day! I’m 62, male living in South Carolina. Was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer (PC) last year. Had a Radical Prostatectomy with clear margins, and for a year have had PSA tests less than the 0.1 level. Most recent test jumped from 0.047 to 0.075 concerning me that the surgery was not fully successful

Xtandi

Effect of low endogenous testosterone
PSA now at 7.9. Biopsy showed 1 sample was Gleason 8. Starting ADT and radiation soon. Have had low testosterone (<150 ng/ml) most of my life. Non-existent libido, depression and tired most of the time. Recent studies have shown that aggressive prostate cancer more common in people with low testosterone

Vacation time again
I had the follow up appt with my MO. My PSA is down a notch to 0.2. We decided to follow the original plan of intermittent ADT and I’m starting another ADT vacation. This round of ADT had started with minimal SE’s but in the last month or so it’s gotten worse. My energy level has noticeably decreased
