HoLEP for BPH followed by SBRT several months later for 4+3 = 7 PCa. Is it preferable to do the HoLEP before the SBRT?
Diagnosed with BPH (80 cc prostate) and prostate cancer - Gleason 4+3 in 2 cores - less than 30%, 3+3 in 2 cores, benign in 8 cores. Stage T1c. PSMA-Pet no metastasis. PSA 8.8. Decipher 0.51. PSA density 0.11. Having HoLEP in May 2024 then SBRT several months later.

Bilateral frontal calvarial metastases
Has anyone in the forum experienced bilateral frontal calvarial metastases associated with their PCa? I recently had a brain MRI where this metastases was identified. The assessing physicians impression was that there is no worrisome parenchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement and did not recommend any

covid vaccine & prostate cancer
Any concerns/studies re covid vaccines bringing prostate cancer back? No politics just want to know if there are any reasons to be concerned.

Dental Issues with Finesteride
I am 7 years post full gland HIFU surgery. Quality of life remains good. I've been off ADT all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems.

I started a Zytiga holiday yesterday. Still on Lupron for now. How long should I keep taking prednisone? I know Zytiga clears out pretty fast.

Second Recurrence
I was originally diagnosed in December 2018 with stage 3 high-grade primary peritoneal carcinoma. It recurred in December 2022. I had the same chemo both times: carbo/taxol. It appears that I have another recurrence because my CA 125 was 8 this past November. Then, it rose to 22 in December and today

Flare
Thursday, my husband had his follow-up appointment with Oncologist. I was very alarmed at some of his blood test results. His PSA went up to 1600. Doctor said other blood work was to be expected. I researched surged in PSA and found this, The PSA flare is a well-known phenomenon. The post chemotherapy

Docetaxel and Carboplatin
I’ve been on the PC journey for 12 years. I’ve had lupron and all the standard “poisons” that we get, including Pluvicto. My PSA is now up to 99.5. I have bone mets in my lower back and sacrum w periodic pain that’s controlled w pain meds. My oncologist is recommending a chemo concoction of Docetaxel

Right phrenic nerve paralysis
Path from RP showed extensive perineural involvement. No other risk factors for phrenic nerve paralysis. Haven't talked to MO yet, but sure concerned it's tumor invasion. PSA still <0.04.

Total thyroidectomy - anyone have a positive story ?
Hey everyone - I’m very nervous about having a total thyroidectomy in mid February. I have seen so many horror stories. Do any of you have an experience that didn’t turn sour ? Some have said they have levithyroxine issues … I’m not sure if this is the right decision but my heart rhythm is being seriously

Prostate cancer treatment and sexual mutilation
Well well. In the midst of the club no one wants to be a part of and just wanted to add my input. It seems that the treatment of prostate cancer often glazes over the fact that you will be sexually impacted severely. Depending on treatment outcome that could be a 0 to 7. Seems like the topic isn’t really

options after Docetaxel
Hi- I have posted before concerning my brother’s prostate treatment. To give a brief overview- my brother was diagnosed in March 2021. He responded well to Abiraterone for 18 months. Once his PSA starting trending upwards he was put on several sessions of Docetaxel. Unfortunately at this time, he

Lymph node Metastasis
After 7 years, and multiple PSMA scans, my husband had a FDG CT scan and it showed what they quoted as “several” metastasis In the lymphs In the para aortic area in abdomen. One doc wants to biopsy to check if cancer DNA has changed from original pathology in 2017. Another doc says… No to biopsy due

My MO suspects that I am non-metastatic, castration resistant but will not approve any treatment until metastases develop.
Gleason 9 at diagnosis, BRACA 2 germline and somatic. RP five years ago but cancer escaped the capsule; PSA of around 2.5 after surgery. Had radiation to pelvic area a few months later along with Eligard injection. Renewed Eligard after 3 months and PSA went down to undetectable. T was close to zero
