Hi! We’re beginning to research facilities for second opinions, next step guidance to supplement what we’re learning from our local doctor. My husband is BRCA2 positive, had a prostatectomy, salvage radiation and now his PSA is starting to creep back up. I know it’s too early to take additional treatment

Neuroendocrine Prostate cancer (NEPC) questions.
I’ve had some very concerning symptoms lately so I started looking up more about NEPC. I have some of the listed symptoms. I’ve been under enormous stress lately, caring for my mom who’s in her 90s. The stress may have cause my cancer to mutate. Last year I remember reading something on this site

Making a Case for Intermittent ADT in Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
FPC'ers, Many times, we hear people claim that you should only stop ADT if you can't tolerate it any longer, and that it will not slow castrate resistance; that it increases risk for stroke, and heart attack; that it will likely take years for your testosterone to recover; that it increases mortality

Hi everyone, My Dad (77) diagnosed in January w/ stage 4 PC, mets to L5 spine. PET scan showed no other spots elsewhere. PSA was 19 at time of diagnosis, Gleason 10. BRCA negative. PSA is now at 0.2 since starting hormone therapy. Feeling good, no pain. Still works (owns his own company). Started

Metastatic prostate cancer in the lungs
Radical prostatectomy in 2003 with PSA of 3.9. PSA slowly rose to .07 in 2023. PET scan in May, 2023 found nodules in my lungs with the largest being 1.4 cm. Needle biopsy identified it as metastatic adenocarcinoma from prostatic origin. 5 sessions of 50Gy cyberknife treatments on the 1.4 cm nodule

Trying to make sense of things
Can anyone explain why some people have Gleason 8 PC, high PSA and have metastatic disease, yet some with Gleason 9 and 10 have low-ish PSA (as far as PC goes) and no obvious metastatic disease (confirmed by PSMA)? I am trying to understand this damn disease and sometimes there doesn’t seem to be any

Ct scan of abdomen and pelvis and full body bone scan?
Hello, I have been advised to get a ct scan of abdomen and pelvis with and without contrast, along with a full body bone scan prior to my next appointment with my urologist. PSA has been undetectable since completion 9/9/20 of image guided radiation to the prostate bed and lymph nodes with a 6 month

Not great news for hubby today. What is next?
Just updated my husband's profile so you can see his journey from 2016. Oncologist today said to continue the Abiraterone for another month and see where we are at with PSA results. Was up again today. He did have 6 rounds of targeted radiation last month, so would that cause PSA to go up. We were hoping

Olaparib for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 Alterations
I know these results have been known for a while but me being germline and somatic BRCA 2, I thought it would be important to post this for those warriors with this condition. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE The phase III PROfound trial showed that patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

My experience with Docetaxel
I know everyone doesn’t respond the same but here is my experience and what I went through with 10 rounds of chemo. Before I started I had already been on Lupron for five years, I had radiation to multiple bone Mets, took zytiga/xtandi, had Provenge and did a clinical trial. October 26 2023 I started

What comes after, what comes next?
I have posted a few times about my dad. Stage 4, mets to 8+ bones at time of diagnosis, PSA at 137 (10/22.)

PSA rise
2 months ago my PSA was 20. I have had extensive screening done prior to starting a clinical trial on Tuesday. My PSA has gone up to 367 since then. CT scan showed no significant change and I had bone scan yesterday. Onco says it may just be increased activity of existing cancer cells and not necessarily

Phase 1 trial shows promising results for fractionated dose of 225Ac-J591 in PCa treatment
The fractionated dosing achieved promising results with 95% of patients experiencing any PSA decline and 71% achieving a PSA50 response. In contrast, the multiple cycles cohort saw 72% of patients with any PSA decline and 28% achieving a PSA50 response...fractionate good! https://www.urotoday.com/conference-highlights

177Lu-PSMA-617: Trial shows it's more effective than changing ARPIs
"Patients who enrolled in the trial were assigned to either a change in ARPI, for example from abiraterone to enzalutamide or vice versa, or 177Lu-PSMA-617, a prostate-specific antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy. This analysis found that treatment with 177Lu-PSMA-617 prolonged radiographic progression-free

Active Surveillance Still a Good Option?
The results of the latest one was similar to the other 2: IMPRESSION:
Benign
prostatic
hyperplasia
with peripheral zone scarring. PI-RADS2. Elevated PSA density, increased from prior study. Continued follow-up is recommended if repeat biopsy is not elected.

radiation treatment delayed
2 years since prostatectomy. Psa still non detectable. Will get it checked again in 6 months or 1 year depending on urologist suggestion. I feel blessed since standard protocol was radiation to the pelvic area had 6 Month Lupron shot since they found positive pc in limp nodes and tissue extracted.

Hi all, apologies for the long post, hoping to give as much info as possible. Background: Diagnosis: Unfavorable int-risk prostate cancer (T2a, Gleason 4+3, PSA 5.2) (I spoke to a surgeon today who said it was T3a so now I am confused) Age: 59 PSA 5.2 (H) 01/31/2024 PSA 4.4 (H) 11/06/2023 PSA
