What is major source of PSA Expression after ADT Vacation?
Once one has become PSA undetectable, with prostate zapped with IMRT, and goes on ADT vacation what is the most likely cause of increased PSA expression? Micro tumors in blood? Remnants of prostate tumor (if any), or existing mets?

Hmm... Why am I on Zytiga?
Here is an email that I sent to my MSK MO yesterday (Dr S is my RO). I'm blessed to have both of them caring for me. They give me all the time that I need and answer every question I ask, with patience and clarity. Just want feedback from our great forum. "Happy (belated) New Year, Doc! I'm prepping

SBRT
Regarding SBRT and no spaceoar. Procedure completed today for markers however Spaceoar was tried to be injected but due to prostate space between rectum it was too small a space. Now not sure what to do. RO is considering 28 day IMRT vs SBRT since no protection in place. Incredibly agitated that placement

Non standard Firmagon dosing effective for 3 months from single injection.
My ongoing one-person trial of non-standard dosing for Firmagon (degarelix) for ADT continues: I'm now 3 months out from a single injection of 120Mg. in abdomen fat. (Not the usual starting dose of 240 mg.) as short term adjuvant ADT for RT to pelvic nodes. Total testosterone level is still castrate

Puzzled - stepping up preventer medicine when symptoms come on so quickly
I was diagnosed at age 60 close to 6 years ago after a series of winter illnesses left me breathless and with a constant cough. My asthma was well controlled after a number of weeks on Clenil Modulite. Then a GP suggested I step down to 1 puff twice a day from 2. All was well until I got a chest infection

When to start ADT for metastatic disease
I was wondering when started ADT and what was the threshold and/or symptoms that made you decide to start? As a little background, I was diagnosed back in June 2008 with Gleason 8 - my PSA was about 4 at the time but had risen quickly. I had robotic surgery in Sept. 2008. Small encapsular extension and

PET PSA etc
Reading some of the recent posts has me thinking again about a couple of issues. So I thought it made sense to ask the group for confirmation, ideas??? Not sure it I mentioned/asked before but... I have started seeing a medical oncologist as recommended on this list. I do like his "take it slow" approach

I need to choose between zytiga and xtandi since now am castrate resistant - have some very specific questions
Summary: Dr. wants me to to choose zytiga/pred or xtandi since now am in castrate resistant state (lupron only does not work anymore) and he wants me to research both re side effects and patient experiences, etc. *** Sorry for such a long post but in past I've been told that I did not include

Clenil Modulite
Hi, thank you to all of you for helping me with my reaction to the above. Have seen GP this morning and now have a prescription for a new inhaler, I have to collect from pharmacy shortly, can't remember the name of the new one but fingers crossed. Still coughing and spluttering from my Clenil dose

stricture surgery before radiation
I’ll be 70 in a few weeks and was diagnosed with prostate cancer about six weeks ago. My biopsy showed a Gleason 3+4 in right base involving 30% pattern 4 and Gleason 3+4 in right-mid involving 10% pattern 4. My PSA is 17. I’ve gotten two pathology reports and one is from John Hopkins. They were mostly

Oligometastatic PC and Radiation
Hello all. My 68 year old husband had a routine physical about six months ago that showed a PSA of 77. His PSA had not been tested for seven years prior (which infuriates me). He then had a biopsy that showed Gleason 9 (4+5) prostate cancer. Twelve samples were taken; only one sample was benign. Two

My Final Lupron Injection
After tolerating 44 IMRT treaments and 21 months of ADT pretty well, I am glad to report that my eighth and final three-month Lupron injection was yesterday. My PSA is still undetectable. Admittedly the ADT has taken a it's toll, leaving me somewhat flabby and tired, although I managed to stay very active

Has it been enough years...
...to compare the cure efficacy of SBRT to IMRT over ten years? Does SBRT have a lower incidence of salvage radiation?

Which scans are suitable for recurrent PCa with very low PSA
I had surgery in 2011 and adjuvant IMRT to prostate bed in 2012. Pt3b, Gleason 8 (4+4) with tertiary 5. Psa recurrence 5 years ago, PSA rose from nadir 0.003 to 0.8. Treatment with Casodex since recurrence. Current regimen 50 mg / day. PSA gradually went down from 0.18 at the beginning of 2019 to 0.05

Fast PSA Rise
I just got back from vacation and had another PSA test. The time between tests was 3 months and the rise was from 12.79 to 29.5 resulting in a doubling time of 2.5 months. I am waiting for the oncologist to find my records and call back so it will be a while before I get his opinion as to what to do.

ore details on degarelix (Firmagon)
After a single dose (120 mg) of degarelix to support my ST-ADT in conjunction with pelvic lymph node IMRT, my Testosterone level is castrate (>20 ng/dl). I added this as estradiol patches were slow to get there (T = 63 after 2 weeks). And I am feeling surprisingly good as previously reported with no

D-dimer, Radiation & Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation [DIC]
New study below [1]. I have a number of old posts on coagulation/nattokinase /D-dimer. Cancer increases the risk of life-threatening coagulation, as well as metastasis. Nattokinase, which can dissolve the fibrin in clots, is thought by many men to be protective, but I suspect that most simply take
