Is My Urologist Telling Me the Truth About Prostate Biopsies, or is He "Painting a Rosy Picture" of them?
I have concerns about the discomfort and after-effects of a prostate biopsy scheduled soon. But my urologist seems to be saying [i]
"No worry. It'll only take 30-40 minutes and it'll be over so that you can return home. You'll have some soreness for a few days and you'll be okay."
[/i] Is this

Will Androgen-nourished Prostate Cancer Cells Succumb to "Glucose/Glutamine Starvation"?
If prostate cancer cells are enriched with androgens that normally propel their growth and spread, could they still be "starved" by selectively inhibiting their GLUT receptor expressions to block their uptake of glucose and also by limiting their ability to turn to and utilize glutamine as a backup

The role of PSMA PET/CT in predicting downgrading in patients with Gleason score 4+4 prostate cancer in prostate biopsy - W Jour Uro 5/21/24
[i]An interesting investigation aimed at validating the use of PSMA PET/CT in patients to adjust the Gleason score (downward) of their cancer based on conventional pre-surgery biopsy, scans (ultrasound & MRI). In this instance the focus was on downgrading from a high-risk of 8 to an intermediate-risk

hello! I’ve been on here for a few weeks reading everyone’s posts, which have been helpful.

How much targeted radiation to mets?
Hi, Warriors. I've been through Zytiga, Pluvicto and Xtandi - all failed. Have aggressive metastatic cancer and mets head to toe. Starting to get pain in bones and already had one major blast of radiation to ribs. Can they keep blasting spots as they get painful, or is there a radiation limit?

Large Prostate more difficult to remove ?
In 2013 I had robotic prostatectomy. My prostate was quite large, volume 130ml, size 7.43x5.61x5.97cm. As a result, prostate was removed in two pieces, no seminal vesicles where removed and path: "pT2c bilateral, pNx, GL 4+3 Tertiary 5, EPE not identified, SUV not identified". I understand, pNx means

Husband getting extremely tired on Zytiga
Tim began Zytiga one month ago. He is also doing Lupron and EBRT which will be over in 5 sessions (he had 5 weeks of them all together). Up until about 5 days ago, he was working and then going to Pilates once a week and to the gym, but now he is coming home EXHAUSTED from work and barely has the energy

Has anyone heard of trial DB-1311-O-1001?
Hi all, I’m wondering whether anybody has heard of the above trial? My Dad had been put forward for this and was advised yesterday he got through onto the trial but the paperwork says “first trial on humans”. They aren’t sure of the side effects and we are all feeling a bit apprehensive… My Dad has

Finally Something’s Working
I have had this mutherf*cker of a disease 19 years. I have had numerous rounds of Lupron. I have been on Casodex, Erleada, Nubeqa. Zytiga, Provenge, 8 rounds of Docetaxel and, now, Pluvicto. As is standard, after my third round of Pluvicto I had a PSMA PET scan. Finally, something seems to be working

How many treatments of Chemo can the body handle
I have had 7 cycles of docetaxel and 3 of cabazitaxel. The oncologist wants to continue with another 7 cycles of cabazitaxel. My question is how much of this poison can the body handle. Does this chemo destroy things permanently in the body. I know that the fatigue is taking over. I couldn't run

Kindly seeking advice about my options
I'm metastatic HSPCa on Lupron/Erleada over two years now. Three periaortic lymph nodes and two ribs lesions. Sooner or later, I will go metastatic HRPCa (average about 3 years to become hormone resistant). So, my question is what kind of treatment coming next Thanks for your input

My Cancer Journey Repost
It's time for a repost of my two-part cancer journey diary. Some "starting the journey readers" might find it helpful. Originally posted as two Health Unlocked "replies" - maybe I should make them an actual full "post". So I am pleased to report that
other than fatigue, I feel sort of normal right
