ADT failure
We saw my Dad's MO on 5/23. Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's PSA moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto. My

Success with PSMA-lutamide
Hi Everyone, I might get long winded in this, so the brief summary is: rechallenged with Pluvicto after a 4-year break while enhancing PSMA expression with darolutamide. PSA dropped from 44 to 3 after two treaments. I have lymph-node metastatic disease with neuroendocrine differentiation. I was on

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

Dramatic change to palliative from treatable after 6 and a half years
Back at the start of the yhis year my PSA continued to rise: 670 > 900 > 1167> 1600 so we stopped the trial. I was anaemic and had low haemaglobin. I felt awful, weak, nautious and had 4 days in hospital for pain management. I hadn't had this before the trial but they said I have a fractured 4th lumbar

PSMA PET Scan results
For those that asked, we received my dad's PSMA PET Scan results (full resultsin bio). We were devastated to see some bone metastasis was uncovered but knew this was likely due to his high PSA score (150) and Gleason score of 9. If anyone could provide any advice and or encouragement, that would be much

Next treatment?
We just left the Oncologist office and not good news. PSA is still climbing. It went from 64 to 74 in 6 weeks. Hubby has been through XTANDI, Chemo, targeted radiation, RADIUM 223. Been on Eligard for 7 years. Oncologist would like him to go in a clinical trial at Princess Margaret hospital in Toronto

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

Time to adjust my course, any suggestions?
Psa is on a steady increase again. I was taking extandi for a year up until 11 /23 over that yr my Psa had dropped from 29, 11/22 to 1.4 ,11/23. I was having significant SEs, brain fog mainly so I decided to switch to nubeqa (daralutimide) even tho there was a steady drop in PSA on extandi. Nubeqa

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?

intermittent ADT+Abiraterone
Six months ago I ended a 12 month holiday from my ADT + abiraterone. (In this post, I’m not asking for evaluations of the advisability of intermittency.) In making the decision to do the intermittency, my MO, among other things, said that the fact that I was on abiraterone was a positive factor for

Some good news yesterday
I’m 66, dealing with PCa for 6 years, have had surgery and radiation 2x. Things were quiet for a year and a half. After a rapid rise in psa this spring, the docs at Duke put me on Lupron and Xtandi. The three month check up shows t level is down to 18, psa is 0.23, a decline of 96.5%. Thank God and

on exercise again
not randomized, but still a very interesting study that wants to check the relation between PSA decline and quantity of exercise per week in men with localized prostate cancer https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/article-abstract/2821207

diarrhea flares ?
My dad had radiation that ended in January. Currently on Lupron. Had his last shot July 7th and his PSA was .02. He had a lot of issues post radiation, with diarrhea and gas, but that subsided and he has been good for a while. All the sudden these symptoms are happening again. When he had his last Lupron

Is this decision right for me
I had a PSMA pet scan on 7/16/2024. The result shows a single tumor in my left lung measuring 8mm. My MO wants me to have the tumor radiated and monitor the PSA and its doubling time. A little background, I'm just short of 83 years old. I had prostatectomy in 2009, PSA undetectable until 2017. I had
