Post radiation psa levels
Nine months out from IMRT my psa results have dropped quarterly from 3.6 to 2.1 to 1.75 but recently only dropped to 1.68 a tiny amount. Apparently the prostate dying is the cause for the decreasing levels. My question is should I not be taking vitamins etc that protect myself from radiation as these

To Go Public or Not
In a recent thread, an off-topic conversation started that deserves discussion. Specifically, whether or not I, or you, or anyone else having an unfortunate medical condition, should go public with that information. Let me introduce myself. My name is Cary Jensen, and I was diagnosed with prostate cancer

Questions for follow up visit?
I have moved and need to set up a local urologist so I have an appointment with the guy who did emergency surgery on me when I was assaulted in the local ER room by a horrible doctor. Recently I had a rather large increase in PSA much higher than after brachy IMRT years ago. Some of the tests were while

HUSBAND'S LATEST PSA AFTER ZYTIGA
PSA now 4.20, down from 7.58 in late November, 2018 Below is my husband's signature showing his history. Due to rapid doubling in PSA last summer, he restarted Lupron in September, 2018 then added Zytiga/Prednisone 2/9/2019, three weeks ago. PSA is going in the right direction. He got the report after

ADT Holiday to Locate and Zap Metastases?
My RO has suggested I might wish to consider an ADT holiday and then, when PSA reaches a sufficient level (1.7?), doing an axumin scan. If there are no bone or non-lymph visceral mets, then radiate the pelvic lymph nodes. This was in response to my question about maybe just radiating them now. I will

More proof that results of SBRT are equivalent to IMRT (yet faster and cheaper)
I am pleased that SBRT was my choice of primary therapy 8 years ago. The randomized comparisons are showing that it is at least as beneficial as IMRT, but it takes only 4 or 5 treatments and costs a lot less too. Here are the results of two more randomized clinical trials so far: https://pcnrv.blogspot.com

I'm new here, but been reading for a while! Really need help from all the knowledgeable people here!
My husband was dx with aggressive PC July 2014 at age 57 by 12 core prostate biopsies - 6 on left negative, 6 on right side all with high Gleason scores 3+4, 4+3, 4+3, 4+4, 4+5, 4+4. PSA was only 3.2 but had risen from 2.5 in only 3.5 months so PC was suspected. Due to high GS decided on RP using Robotic

PSMA Scan and HU Altered my Treatment Plan
Thanks to an NIH Clinical Trial and sage advice rendered and received on this forum my treatment plan has changed. I have gone from waiting for my PSA doubling time to reach a critical level to moving forward with aggressive treatment in hopes of beating or beating back my PCa. My background is: RP

Clenil Modulite Inhaler
Is Clenil Modulite (Brown preventer) causing me more problems? Reason I ask is that I'm being told by my GP to puff once in morning and once in the evening. However since I started doing this I have had a severe deep tickle in my chest. I remember the same thing happened a few years ago so I stopped

PSA and testosterone post radiation
Completed 25 IMRT (45 Gy) and brachtherapy "boost" (110Gy, 39 seeds) with ongoing Firmagon/Eligard (5 mos thus far. Btw, hate the hormones.) Most recent PSA 0.1 and testosterone <3. Methinks both numbers are unreliable given continued hormone therapy but who knows? Anyone out there with similar experience

Initial Diagnosis PCa Stage 4 Mets to Bone (Pelvis)
Age 68 at diagnosis July 2018, prostate biopsy showed 12 segments positive, Gleason=8, subsequent biopsy of pelvis bone positive. Stage 4 metastatic at original diagnosis probably attributed to no PSA test for several years. On degarelix 3 months then switched to Lupron 1 week ago and will continue

Metastasis to lung?

Best asthma memory?
There’s always going to be a lot of negativity on forums like this and that’s totally fine because this is not a positive condition. We often hear about people’s terrible experiences with meds, doctors that don’t understand, etc. etc. But what’s everyone’s most positive asthma memory? For me, it’s Christmas
