Orgyvx + alternative treatment
On Dec 1 I took two Orgyvx and dropped my PSA from 70 to 27.8 on Dec 15. I took one more Orgyvx Dec 15 and it dropped to 14.8 on Jan15. At this level I believe the alternative, clioquinol + zinc + ivermectine, will kill more cancer cells than my body produces new ones. On Feb 13, I meet my oncologist

Not sure what’s happening. It’s not vomit. He keeps spitting blood with Saliva without his knowledge, no pain. Not a dental issue either. It looks like clot. No clue. Please help with your advice.

Will Estradiol 0.025 patch for hot flushes cause cancer to come out of hiding?
Hi My husband has been taking Effexor for hot flushes and it does not seem to be effective any longer . He increased the dose from 37.5 to 75 mg and that did not seem to make a difference. He has been off Effexor now and the oncologist is saying to try the low dose Estradiol patch . To be honest we

Orgovyx + Abiaterone?
I have very high risk prostate cancer (Gleason 9, negative PSMA for spread, MRI suggests possible spread to seminal vessel, PSA in 7s before treatment). Due to cardiac history (stroke and heart attack) MO is being cautious and has started dosing Eligard at 1 Month intervals to make sure I am doing ok

CTC circulating tumor cell count
I haven’t seen too much mention of CTC tests when PSA rises. Some rises at very low levels are not clearly correlated or confirmed by PET scans. So why isn’t CTC used, too expensive, inaccurate, most men lack a baseline test? Just curious if anyone tests this and what their experience has been

Cancer returned.
Back in 2006 I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer with a PSA of 17, treatment was 20 sessions of radiotherapy followed by Zoladex implant every 3 months for 3 years, my PSA then dropped to 0.10. There it remained until 2011 when it went up to 0.40. From then until 2018 it varied between 0.40 and 0.71

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has PSA continuing to drop to 0.85. MO plans to monitor PSA before requesting PSMA scan (insurance) unless it is increasing. Considering switch from Eligard to Orgovyx if PSA looks good in early Feb since Orgovyx apparently has less severe SE and doesn't tie me to

Hypogonadism, heat flushing, and testosterone replacement
Hi all, It is almost a year since I had my external beam radiation for Gleason 7 (3+4) PCa (see my profile). So far so good: 4 PSA tests were reassuringly low. I am now almost 82 and I am hoping to deal with my strange heat-flushing problem, which I have had for several years. It predates my cancer

Experience, thus far with Lupron and Abiraterone
I am 78 years old. I was diagnosed in May 2022 with PCa after my PSA was measured at 23.79. I have no other health issues. Following the determination that PCa was still within the prostrate capsule and had not spread to any other organ, I was placed on Lupron (6 monthly IM injections for 2 years). Clinically

How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
I started my hormone treatment with firmagon + apalutamide beginning 2023. The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my psa dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4

Testosterone increase after injection
I recently had my 6 month dose of Camcevi 42mg and my testosterone went from 7 t0 55 rights after the injection. My PSA remained the same at 0.1 . Is this normal for my testosterone to jump 48 points. Oncologist says he is more concerned with my PSA. Also the injection of the Camcevi was in my lower

Newly Diagnosed with High Cholesterol
I’m an otherwise healthy 53 year old who had a PSA blood test, and while that was thankfully clear, I was told I had high cholesterol (above 7.5). I’ve been put on a statin and have started a healthy eating and increased exercise regime. I consider my diet was pretty healthy anyway but have cut out red

Feet tingling
For the last 8 days my toes have been not numb to touch but have the feeling of pins and needles in my toes on both feet. I am not sure if this is related to my PSA but I thought easiest way to find out was to ask on here as I cant see my GP. Any help greatly appreciated.
