PSA raise
Hello once again. My father completed 6 courses of docetaxel chemotherapy (last one on 23/05/2023) and he is getting Zoladex injections every 3 months. Last PSA result was 0.89 (14/07/2023). But as he was getting better and the effects of chemotherapy (mainly neuropathy) were subsiding, the PSA test

degeralix vs lupron
Hello, Any thoughts on which ADT treatment is better? My husband received his first injection with Degeralix today to prevent the testosterone flare and next month the doctor is planning on a 3 month Lupron injection. From what I’ve been reading, it seems that the Degeralix may be better than Lupron

I will try and make this the short version. My husband has advanced prostate cancer 4+5=9 (Gleason 9). One year ago it metastasized to the T9. He had radiation to the spot. In the meantime, he has had severe pain in the neck area. after scans, they said it was from an injury. (he has never had an injury

Just completed 6 rounds of Lutetium-177
Been dealing with advanced prostate cancer since 5/20 and have undergone several treatment options available. Life has changed significantly because of the treatments but I feel good generally and looking forward to the next viable treatment. Happy to share experiences with any other advanced prostate

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans

Big decsions regarding SRT/ADT due to BCR post RP
My husband was had a robotic radical prostatectomy 1/2019 with no major complications or side effects. Gleason 4+3, negative margins and no positive lymph nodes. There was cribiform invasion of a nerve but all margins of the prostate and 0/13 LN were negative after surgery. His post surgical PSA was

PSA bounce after LDR brachytherapy?
Hi all, First, an update, as my last full update about various issues was five weeks after LDR brachytherapy (almost two years ago), in which I reported that, thankfully, I had no urinary, bowel, or sexual function issues. That update is here in the link below, and I'm happy to report that it's all

SGLT-2 Inhibitors to (partially) “Starve” Glucose Dependent Cancers
There has been many theories proposed about how to “starve cancer”. And many have gone down rabbit holes chasing unproven theories about how to do so. Unfortunately, IMO, they simply do not work. Cancers are very metabolically flexible. They will take what they need to survive and grow and adapt to whatever

Stopping Orgovyx after six months
My brother has PCa as well. We keep it in the family... He had a PT ten years ago but his PSA rose so he got salvage radiation and went on Orgovyx. His MO said he would be on it for 18 months, as is SOC. He didn't like his MO so he switched to a GU MO. That MO said the research showed six months of ADT

Small psa rise
RP in 2021 followed by recurrence 12 months later. 37 x RT and 18 months of zolodex which the last 3 month injection was April 2023. PSA less 0.01 consistently until last week 0.03. Do I need to wait until PSA is 2.0 or is there anything I can do before then?

Pluvicto
Would appreciate any replies regarding Pluvicto treatments and side effects. Yesterday had follow up appointment with his oncologist to go over scan results. Doctor said obviously the Docetaxel did work some but not enough. Next treatment will be Pluvicto. My husband had his first chemo treatment

Is it worth it?
I'm a 64 year old gay man married for 30+ years. I went to get my testosterone checked and it was slightly low but the doctor said before he prescribed T he wanted to do a PSA test. My PSA was 8, so he told me no sex or biking for 10 days and we retested and it was down to 5 which he said was still

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
I am participating in an NIH study combining Docetaxel with an immunotherapy. I had my first treatment of only Docetaxel this Tuesday. I lasted 2 minutes and 7cc before I had a severe reaction - severe flushing (glowing red from head to toe), difficulty breathing, sweating, uncontrollable shivering.

Taking vacation from meds bad idea?
I am 64 year old restaurant owner that works hard and manages 30 employees. I am polymetastatic with the usual side effects and my PSA is undetectable. Anyone know what the science says about taking a break from the medications? Good idea? Bad idea? Is there any real evidence to prove either way?
