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

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

Hi again just to update my progress on Zytiga. Saw my consultant last week and this time he was armed with all the latest CT and bone scans along with bloods and PSA (still creeping up). Basically he proposed to move my drug to Xtandi (with no steroids) and give me one session of radiotherapy on my

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

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.

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. I was a 7-year veteran, having had radiation HIFU and Zoladex (quarterly), none of which prepared me for my reaction to enzalutamide. I get up in the

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
