Interesting PSA observation
For my prostate cancer journey, please see my bio. In 06/2023 I was also diagnosed with testicle lymphoma, maybe as a side effect of earlier radiation. Testicle has been removed, PET/CT & co showed no other evidence of cancer. So I perform four cycles of R-CHOP chemo regimen. Why I post this here? After

What testosterone test should I get in my final blood test prior to HT starting?
Hi All, I intend on getting my own blood test that will form the baseline for how the future HT is working. When it comes to getting testosterone tests, I note there are a few to select from. Which one should I get from the following list? 1: Testosterone Free/Total + SHBG 2: Testosterone Total

Provenge Underway
Morning folks, Well I completed my first cycle of Provenge yesterday and all seems well so far. I also met with MO to review recent genetic testing results and have confirmed a mutation BRiP1 which is associated with autosomal dominant hereditary ovarian cancer, autosomal recessive Fanconia anemia,

Could PSA of 3.0 be a problem?
My 48 year old son lives in Norway. He was recently contacted by their hereditary cancer clinic and advised that his PSA had increased to 3.0 from from last years 2.5. They felt that's a little high for his age and are going to call him in for an MR and a new PSA test. Is this any cause for concern

Fatigue after eating
Husband is getting very sleepy after all meals. His sugar is always below 100 when tested, he takes levothyroxine for low thyroid (waiting for over 2 weeks now on latest blood work and TSH results from PCP. *sigh* He's taking a statin (can't remember the name) and Tamsulosin. Current cancer treatment

BP with abiraterone + prednisone, eplerenone, dexamethasone
I have been on Lupron and abiraterone with (initially) prednisone for 4.5 years, which has maintained my PSA at <0.1 since 111 at diagnosis. I have all the usual side effects. One that doesn't bother me day-to-day, but definitely concerns me, is hypertension. Before PCa, I had moderately high BP, which

ADT before Surgery?
I have a prostatectomy which is probably 6-8 weeks in my future. My outlook is that metastasis in imminent. (T3bM0n0 and no evidence of cancer outside the gland as of May 25 PSMA PET scan, but I am told I am intermediate/unfavorable and my PSA went from 10 to 12 in only a month.) Today is August 18.

Blood in urine and clotting 3 weeks after starting Zytiga
After starting Zytiga I noticed a few drops of blood but only after a bowel motion. Yesterday after a big bowel motion I couldn’t pee and headed for hospital though on getting there I suppose my bladder was full enough it forced the clot out while going to the toilet. I’ve had blockage problems ana

FYI: New data on progression of visceral mets without PSA progression (discordance) and ARAT/docetaxel therapy
Interesting study, folks. We know physical progression of PCa (i.e., new metastases) can occur without PSA progression. This is known as a discordance. But we don't know how often it occurs or why it occurs. In these instances, our greatest fear is "therapy-induced neuroendocrine prostate cancer

Brain metastasis
New (Portuguese) anecdotal case study below. [1] When I began reading PCa studies on PubMed, I saw a lot of cell studies that used LNCaP (from a lymph PCa cell), PC3 (from a bone PCa cell) &/or DU145 (supposedly a brain met cell, but now described as "derived from a central nervous system metastasis

AUA 2023: PSA Response and Time-to-Castration Resistance Among Patients with mCSPCa Initiated on Apalutamide, Enzalutamide, or Abiraterone
The objective of this study was to describe a “real-world” experience of mCSPC patients treated with apalutamide, enzalutamide, and abiraterone acetate, with a focus on PSA response and development of castration resistance outcomes. This study identified patients with mCSPC newly initiated on apalutamide

Abiraterone and food
My husband has been on Abiraterone for 2 months, during which time his PSA has doubled. I’ve recently read posts about the advantages of taking Abiraterone with food instead of taking it an hour before eating as recommended. The posts are quite old (5 years) - is taking Abi with food still a consideration

Positive results, Pluvicto
I’m at Mayo for my third Pluvicto (Lutetium-177) treatment. Yesterday, I had a PSMA Pet scan to check on progress. I’m happy to report that it’s all positive at this point in the game. I include below the “findings” on the radiology report from the scan which speaks for itself. I look forward to hearing

Rapidly Rising PSA
As some of you know, I am now under the care of two excellent oncologists, including Prof. De Bono at Royal Marsden Cancer Centre. I was originally deemed to have a non-aggressive cancer (in 14 years my PSA has never exceeded 4.1) However, over the last 6 weeks (when I have been on no treatment whatsoever

PSA drop after ADT
My PSA went from 14.9 ug/l in May to 5.9 ug/l in June to 0.24 ug/l when tested 2 days ago after Lupron injection 3 months ago. Naturally I'm very relieved over the drop.My oncologist has pretty much left the decision to me on the ADT duration. I had earlier voiced my reservation about ADT on account
