PSMA scans-any update?
Saw this link this morning. Any update on this research or trials? Kinda describes my situation: after surgery and radiation PSA climbing. PSMA showed metastatic lymph nodes. Rather than watch and wait, they were radiated. PSA now seems to have dropped. Thanks. https://youtu.be/usXbPe_1YYc?si=cZB8L4YZ7y0w7qSJ

Are endocrinologists of any help after ADT?
After ADT, my MO told me that handling things like Prolia management won't be in her bailiwick. I didn't ask about post-ADT SE's and recovery from same. Hot flashes, low T, BMD loss, and last not least sarcopenia. What is the community's experience with how post-treatment SE's are best handled? Are

My husband has metastatic prostate cancer. We went through all the treatments including 5 pluvicto treatments. Even though his scan shows improvement in some areas it continues to spread. Maybe this is due to no meds such as Xtandi to stop the spread. I'm trying to get more information by reading people's

PSA 1.175 Down from 21, 6 weeks ago. Is this good ?
After 6 weeks only on orgovyx my PSA has dropped to 1.175 from 21 and testosterone to 25 from 400. Are these numbers ok ? I read many here say their testosterone numbers are much lower - in single digits. Hence I am wondering if I should switch to Firmagon and see if they drop more. Do testosterone

prostate cancer that does not produce psa
Hi everyone. My dad’s PSA has always been low, so when he was diagnosed, we were very shocked. His team checks his PSA, although PSMA have been more telling for him. His PSA today is the highest it has ever been at 17. His last PSMA was better than the one before. Is it possible for prostate cancer

rising PSA
My PSA started rising after 6 years of being undetectable. July 2023 , PSA 0.10 and July 2024 PSA 0.70 . I had a PSMA pet scan when my PSA hit 0.30 in November 2023 , scan did not show any cancer. I have another PSA test scheduled for early October; my doctor wants to wait until my PSA hits 1 before

Zanda after Zytiga
Orgovyx and Zytiga brought my Gleason 9 cancer to a PSA of 0.67, but after 5 months my PSA has slowly risen to 1.59. Would it help to switch from Zytiga to Zanda? Poollover

Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

I owe you an update
Many thanks to the members of this forum. FYI, I was diagnosed with a DRE last October, 2023. I had a biopsy in November and confirmed an aggressive stage 5, Gleason 9 in 6 of 12 cores prostate cancer. A series of scans did not detect involvement beyond the prostate. My PSA was 9 at that time. I began

Robotic wedge lung resection
During my pet scan a lung shadow was reported. Biopsy failed to get tissue but Drs. do not think it is from the stage 2/3 prostate cancer. They recommend a wedge resection via a daVinci mechanism to remove it. I'd like to hear from someone who has had that surgery but since it may be tangential to this

Bad news: prostate cancers doubling by 2040
Bad news on one side, for all the guys that will join the damn club (and the trends say their age is lowering as well....I am an example actually!). On the other side we can hope for an increase of effort to solve the problem, at least for prostate, breast, lung and colorectal cancers, which are quite
