Could This Alternative Regiment Be Decelerating My PSA?
Between Summer of 2021 and Summer of 2023--two solid years--my PSA went from 11.5 to 15.3, roughly two points per year. Having concern about my PSA, I ventured into a more "aggressive anti-prostate cancer diet," centered around legumes/black, purple, wild rices/walnuts/flaxseed/tomato paste

Best alternative PET for PSMA negative PCa
Asking for a friend. He was diagnosed 3 years ago with high risk high volume (Gleason 3+5) PCa. Treated with EBRT + LDRBT + ADT (18 months). His PSA was undetectable but is now rising (3+) but PSMA-PET was negative, even in the prostate - implying PSMA non-avid cancer. What would be the best non-PSMA

Post radiation and low(er) testosterone
Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had similar experience. I had radiation for prostate cancer in December/January (getting out to about six months post treatment). My testosterone is sitting in the low 300's so on the low end of the reference range but still within it. I had been on testosterone replacement

ADT failure
We saw my Dad's MO on 5/23. Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's PSA moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto. My

How's Remission?
Hi friends, it's been awhile since I've posted here. I've been in remission for 3 and a half years. First treatment was Ibrutinib for one year then Obintuzimab and Veneteclax for 2 years.
