No more PSA tests until 6 months post radiation?
Hi all, it has been a while since i've posted but have been following the posts pretty much daily. I hope all is going well. I am just posting on behalf of my father today. He did ask this PSA question to his team and they told him that this is the standard practice. So.. they may be right but I of course

Post Xofigo, where do we go from here?

Systemic Inflammation Score [SIS] & PCa Survival
New paper below [1]. Over the years, I have posted PCa studies on inflammation markers. The Systemic Inflammation Score [SIS] hasn't been used in a PCa study until now. In essence, almost any marker of inflammation, or combination thereof, can be used to determine how bad one's subclinical inflammation

Testosterone return?
I had my last Lupron injection 6/14/22 after 18 months of ADT and Radiation. PSA at the end of December was <.03 and testosterone was<3. My question is can I expect to return any time soon? My age is 75 and I am physically fit I am doing 5 or 6 miles walking everyday. Do they ever boost ones testosterone

The old vegan vs other nutritional diet comparison persists
I have been following a strict vegan diet program since 2015. I began to hopefully slow or reverse my diagnosed heart disease. Did the conversion help with either? Who knows? It is, I believe, not something that can be definitely proven. But, I believe it has helped, so I’m content with the change. But

Time for a vacation, but worried about IADT
Decision time is approaching but should I take an ADT vacation? Any new data or articles to support decisions on intermittent ADT? I'm looking forward to an improved QoL but just worried about giving the beast room to come back. I've been undetectable (<0.01) since treatment started 11 months

Questions about hormone therapy...
Greetings, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, Gleason 8, no indication of metastasis in January. I just had a radical prostatectomy, including the removal of nerves.

ED Results after 20 IMRT Treatments ?????
I am g7 (4-3). 68 psa 8.
I just finished 20 IMRT treatments at UCLA .
Please advise me again the ED side effects with radiation and timelines.
I remember from my research that with radiation you should have the same baseline "good" erections for the first 2 -3 years.

bone pain after ADT
my husband had three years of adt plus 45 rounds of radiation. One lymph node Was involved so he was considered stage iii at dx. His psa went from 49 to >.04 In the first three months and never went up. He now has NED and will be checked every three months. Problem is, after coming off three years

PSA elevated due to Covid
Has anyone experienced an elevated PSA due to Covid? I have been testing my PSA in 3-4wk cycles, and it has been on a nice downward trend the past 140 days or so (9.2 ->5.7), no treatments, just supplements and lifestyle change. However, I had a jump of 1.3 in a 3wk timeframe. My 2/15/2023 test was

Pluvicto Update: Second Treatment Coming up
Will be getting my second treatment on Tuesday. Unfortunately, my PSA has not dropped a whole lot. It went from 248 to 222. My Alk Phos shot up from the mid 300s to almost 600 now. Hoping things improve after the next infusion. Hope it's just dying cancer cells affecting the PSA. I still feel better

Radiation treatments for oligometastatic lesions
I have read on here and it’s just an observation from reading bios of different patients “ we treated the bone Mets and psa exploded afterwards “. my question is: could the reason for that being the effects of the SBRT or whatever kind of radiation to the Mets ? More than once I have noticed that.
