Nothing more NHS can do, so am looking at Turkey for Lu 177. I know this is an option, but want to literally exhaust anything in the

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

Not PCa related but sounds like a very promising approach
When I read "advanced pancreatic cancer" and "overall disease control of 94%" in the same document...I feel like smiling.... https://ascopost.com/news/april-2024/advanced-pancreatic-cancer-oncolytic-virus-based-immunostimulatory-gene-therapy-plus-chemotherapy/

Zytiga vs Nubeqa for Triple Therapy
Hi, I've recently received a diagnosis of Stage 4 prostate cancer, which is high volume and hormone-sensitive. I've consulted with 3 oncologist and all recommend triple therapy: Lupron alongside 6 rounds of Docetaxel, plus an ARPI. While two oncologists recommend Nubeqa, one strongly advocates for Zytiga

Minor change in psa - reason to be concern?
Hi, My dad just got an update on his PSA #. 3 weeks ago his PSA was 0.37, our family went on vacation, and he just got back and had his blood work done again. All enzymes normal, but PSA ticked up slightly to 0.47. Is this concerning at all? I thought PSA was suppose to trend to undetectable levels

Why don't doctors prescribe Dutasteride more often?
I get this question from a lot of men that have prostate cancer. Although the black label warning is a concern to some doctors, and has been discussed here in previous posts, I think the main reason is simply that most doctors don't know about it. Here is the single best paper reviewing the three major

PSMA Scans and False Positives
So I saw my MO yesterday to review my ongoing treatment of Xtandi and Lupron. Been 3 months so far with no real side effects except hot flashes. My PSMA scan showed prostate and one met to sacrum. Prostate treated with 28 rounds of EBRT. MO says since sacrum is so close to prostrate it might have

Reaction to docetaxel twice now.

Last time they tried again and it went through okay. Had meds to mitigate but not prevented a reaction. They aren’t go to try the infusion

My Prostate Cancer Journey
It has been a year since I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and it has been quite a difficult journey. However, I have been incredibly fortunate to have the love and support of my wife and family every step of the way. Their presence has been a source of immense emotional comfort and personal care

Platelets Dropping
Is this “normal” or any advice? Undergoing radiation since March, have 22 sessions done, 6 to go. Started Casodex in December to prepare to start Eligard in January. Radiation started in March. My platelets have been dropping. MO said could be due to Lupron and/or radiation. IMRT targets Gleason 9

I need urgent help for my uncle.
My uncle who resides in France and is a holder of a French citizenship, has been diagnosed with terminal prostatic cancer. He had treated this condition in the past but it ultimately came back, but this time around doctors (including a specialist in Marseille) made him know that his condition was incurable

chemo
has anyone who failed xtandi and zytiga have good outcome with chemo- does it completely eliminate the cancer or do you still have to take things after - how does it work when it stops - also can you take it in smaller doses?
