Finally diagnosed after twenty years!
I have finally got a diagnosis of IBS after at least twenty years of endoscopies, colonoscopies, scans, investigations, etc, etc. Strangely I feel much better even though they say it's a lifelong condition with no cure. My problem today is that it's after half past six in the evening, I have had one

Do you that have had Orchiectomy still take ATD Medication?
I’ve been told that I will be on ATD meds for life, I’m 63 and have been taking Lupron and Zytiga for going on two years. I asked my MO about Orchiectomy and he said if I did it he would still recommend Lupron. Can you guys please share your thoughts and experiences? Thank you in advance

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

HoLEP Affect on Pca
as posted earlier, I have both BPH (80 cc) and localized prostate cancer. Clear PSMA. I’m having HoLEP surgery. Wonder how this will impact the cancer. How will PSA respond? What happens if HoLEP actually removed the cancer?

In vitro but...fighting bone metastasis
Currently they have tested it on metastasis of breast cancer, but hopefully it could work for all bone metastasis https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1032208

Nerves taken
I need some understanding. A friend just shared that he had a G8 and a psa of 10.2. He had a RALP and the doc said the cancer was contained to the prostate. Then he said that the doc took both nerve bundles (R & L). How is the cancer contained but required both nerve bundles to be taken?
