Starting my prostate cancer journey after radical prostatectomy. Looking for info, suggestions or recommendations on future treatments.
Hello everyone, I am 67 and had a PSA of 8.9 and a grade group 4 Gleason score of 4+4=8. I had radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection on 12/1/2022. I am on the road to recovery. The pathology report showed 60-70 % of prostate involved by tumor with extraprostatic extension present, non

Is ADT beneficial after castration resistance sets in?
If PSA is rising at the same doubling time (3 weeks) as it was without ADT (when I was Castration sensitive and did intermittent ADT breaks), then is it useful to keep taking ADT? If so, why? Is that because the ADT would be slowing some castration sensitive cancer, even though the castration resistant

ASH2022 is happening in New Orleans, right now. Yesterday, there was a great webinar hosted on the PeerView platform that covered Personalized Models for Upfront and Sequential Care With Groundbreaking Treatment, which should be of interest to anyone contemplating firstline or relapsed/refractory treatment

Suddenly Glad....
In my first post to the community, I was wondering if I should get an ablation or not, based on the advice of a somewhat snarky cardiologist. Since then, I have had a second opinion from both a new cardiologist and a new electrophysiologist. BOTH said they saw no reason to rush into this. The cardiologist

Lu-177 as SOC vs Clinical Trial
Many thanks to all contributors! Since I've now just had my 16th cabazitazel/carboplatin chemo treatment, we're looking at options and working on Lu-177. I'm curious that, since Lu-177 is now FDA approved and is Standard Of Care, is there an advantage to seeking a clinical trial vs receiving it as

Feeling really down
I am week 7 post my first cryoablation for paroxysmal AFib. For the first week or so I had NSR fluctuations with mild AFib. Since 6th September I have been in constant AFib with HR ranging from 80-120bpm. I have tried and failed to get any real advice from AFib nurses and the EP who did my procedure

New drug for treating hot flashes under FDA review
This article appeared in Natl Geographic's online daily. Because it is behind a paywall, I have copied it below. While the drug is primarily intended for menopausal women, the article notes that future beneficiaries could include men taking drugs for prostate cancer. Is it possible to cure hot

Chemo/Pluvicto or Clinical Trial?
I have stage 4, mcrpc with mets to pelvic lymph nodes and prostate. ADT (Firmagon and Zytiga) kept PSA undetectable for ~2.5 years, then PSA started to rise. I had radiation to prostate in March of this year, which did not help. I started a clinical trial in October at NYU (LAVA 1207 immunotherapy)

An exciting new clinical trial called STEM-PD is due to start in Sweden and the UK for Parkinson’s.
The symptoms of Parkinson’s are caused by the loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells or neurons in the brain; and researchers have long proposed using cell transplantation as a treatment option for replacing these lost dopamine cells. One challenge presented to research teams however has been generating

Post Ablation change in meds
I have/had PAF and had been taking Sotalol 120 2x daily, Diltiazem 120 1x and Eliquis before my ablation which occurred in January 2022. Since I had no further occurrences of Afib, my EP reduced the Sotalol to 80 2x in April. During my follow up visit with my EP this week he discontinued the Sotalol
