Mr. Spouse 21 is on rewind: Stable again!
The prompt says: "Tell Your Story." Well, it's my husband's story almost identical to 5 months ago, 3 months before that, and multiple months before that, so I'm repeating the posting from 5 months ago below. He's stable again with nearly identical numbers. ALP 38, PSA 0.10. He was a Gleason 9 now in

ED Results after 20 IMRT Treatments ?????
I am g7 (4-3). 68 psa 8.
I just finished 20 IMRT treatments at UCLA .
Please advise me again the ED side effects with radiation and timelines.
I remember from my research that with radiation you should have the same baseline "good" erections for the first 2 -3 years.

Pattern Tertiary 5 PC
Does anyone have Pattern Tertiary 5 PC? What have been your experiences with it? My 50 year old son was recently diagnosed with 4+3=7 tertiary pattern 5. From what I’ve read it’s more difficult than just 4+3 = 7. I would appreciate any feedback you can give me as he’s only about seven months into

Are there a nomograms or similar tools that would predict recurrence after IMRT/IGRT (without ADT).
In 2015, I underwent 45 sessions of radiation (no ADT) for a small amount of 3+3 and even smaller amout of 3+4, with a pre-radiation PSA of 1.7. My PSA has stabilized at .2 for the past two years. Can't find any post radiation predictive models or tools.

Undetectable PSA but new bone uptake
I had my 3 month scans and blood work as part of arasec trial (Lupron + darolutamide). The good news - PSA is <0.01. Previously diagnosed M1b. The bone scan however picked up “new focus of uptake in lateral left 11th rib”. Radiologist labeled it indeterminate, doc believes it to be false positive

Tomotherapy side effects?
Hello, we saw a RO today and based on the 2nd opinion here in AZ, and his interpretation of his PSMA scan; my husband decided to start Radiation via TomoTherapy. Have any of you experienced this; IMRT (targeted ) using CT and targeted to just tumors! Our understanding is that he would have better outcome
