Who directs treatment plan?
My husband has stage 3b with 1 lymph node involved. He is going to have radiation for increasing PSA. His urologist has been directing his care. Is this the norm?

Should i include docetaxel with lupron +darolutamide.
My PSA =15 naïve ADT. Had RP, and RT. 5 lymph node locations 3 in pelvic 1 in chest 1 in clavicle. Ive read the trial results but they don’t include ADT+darolutamide with docetaxel. Im 64 and healthy with no symptoms. I was thinking in lieu of chemo, I could include a 5aReductase inhibitor RAD-140

Treatment Plan- I Need Your Ideas...
Hello, My father's PSA value was 24 in February 2022. According to the biopsy results, 8 of 13 foci had a Gleason score of 10. Ga-68 PSMA PET scan revealed metastatic prostate cancer. There was no spread in his bones. Her chemotherapy started in February 2022 and ends in June. He also gets a Zoladex

Wondering which arm of STAMPEDE dictated my 18 to 16 month ADT plus Zytiga treatment plan ?
I have “ low metastatic load “ based on a clean PSMA -PET scan but I am high risk based on PSA 61 ( I was Gleason 6 on only biopsy in 2009 ) and “ probable” seminal vesicle EPE . Taking Avodart for ten years and doing many lifestyle changes per Snuffy Meyers kept my PSA low for a decade but when I

I learned of my prostate cancer metastasis about ten years ago in 2012, which was four years after radiation therapy to my prostate in 2008, following a urinary blockage and biopsy Gleason 8. I chose RT over surgical as my mets were microscopic, confined to prostate. The discovery of Stage 4 was after

***Six months scans are back ***
Good morning my Brother, I got my six month scans back and all in all I'm very pleased with the results. CT scan shows no progression to any vital organs, or soft tissue. There has been no change from last scan six months ago. Bone scan shows very slight uptake to one met ,all other mets are stable

The battle rages on
A few days after Jeff had his first infusion of Keytruda, his eye was droopy. I was concerned about additional brain tumors and called oncology. They brought Jeff in the following day for an appointment. Keytruda is prone to making muscles weak. It generally presents in the eyes, but has the potential

What do you make of this?
Three and 1/2 years ago, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer with numerous bone mets from his hip up to his skull. He was put on Lupron right away, and his PSA has never gone over <.02. (He also had Chemo & Radiation). My understanding is that Lupron supresses testosterone

I had a PSMA scan in late Nov 2021. A few bone mets and lymph nodes in abdominal area. I had been on just Eligard for 2 years. And before that Lupron and Casodex since 2011 with some vacation time in between and a year, 2017, in a clinical trial using estrodoil applied by applying to shoulders daily.

Any association between rising PSA and falling T during BCR?
To recap briefly - 65YO, G9 PCa, RP in '16 followed by RT/ADT. BCR in '18...detected in pelvic LNs via PSMA clinical trial. Then RT to that region and 18 months of ADT.

Enzalutamide (Xtandi) side effect
I became hormone resistant two months ago and was perscribed enzalutamide. While it did hold my PSA down to 0.1, I found the side effects devastating.

XGEVA , Dosing change?
Question. I've been receiving Xgeva injections every 4 weeks for about two years now. My MO says we're going to reduce that to every 3 months. I didn't get a clear explanation as to why. Any thoughts? Also I began Eligard every 4 months with daily Zytiga 1000 mg and prednisone 5 mg x2 daily in June
