Question, each month with rising PSA, when do I do a pet scan
Medical Oncologist suggested waiting for the next two months to see if it’s still rising… Diagnosed 06/2022 Gleason 8/9 Oligo metastatic 3 lytic lesions two resolved Started Firmagon 7/6/2022 Zytiga with Prednisone 7/20/2022 currently still on these meds Docetaxel Chemotherapy on 08/11/2022

Looking for medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
I was diagnosed one year ago with two very small tumors, one on each lobe. Gleason 6, grade group one. Less than 5% involvement in each tumor. Decipher of 0.28, which suggests low aggressiveness. PSA has remained 0.7 for a many years. Although I think Fox Chase Cancer center in Philadelphia is a fine

new drugs
I was on Eligard and Zytiga plus prednisone for about 4 years with tolerable side effects. Mostly medium fatigue. Got my PSA down to undetectable and my Mets invisible in scans after 4 years. I took a two-year break. Wonderful to be clear of the side effects and infusion. Testosterone and PSA gradually

Concern - At 4 mo on Lupron/Abi, Testosterone hits 40
While PSA was again <.1 yesterday, testosterone jumped to 40 ng/dl or 1.4 nmole/L, which is a big move toward the 1.7 danger zone for faster movement toward CRPC ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5472467/ ) , and I am interested

News: not about prostate cancer but interesting
CRISPR CAS9 starts to be recognized as something that can really help in many circumstances. It takes a while to shift to a broader view of technology (e.g “I don’t agree, you are playing with DNA” as if pollution, smoking, some food additives etc etc didn’t do the same). This is something that could

Disappointed
After Lupron, NUBEQA and Zytega … and a recent FDG Cat scan Several nodes lit up in the periodonal aorta area of his abdomen. Being totally right up against the aorta, a decision was made to remove them robotically. Surgery went well. All lymph’s were removed that lit up on the scan. docs felt PSA

RT results look good
After a bout of sepsis from a directed biopsy, 5 weeks of RT and 3 months of Eligard, my tests show undetectable PSA. I'm still dealing with side effects (interrupted sleep, urinary and bowel differences) but happy to report it looks like, for the time being, that my stage 2/3 PC may have been beaten

Disgusted with Healthcare
I had to request my PCP to do a PSA as it wasn't standard practice. I had to call the urologist, who I originally saw, after I joined this board and knew I should be starting ADT, even though they hadn't two months after my scans showed Stage IV. I saw the surgeon even though it was Stage IV and wasn't

PSA 6 months after RT
Here is a review of a presentationby Dr. Ravi at ASCO 2023, regarding measuring the PSA at 6 months post radiation treatment, for all risk groups. He found that the 6-month post-RT PSA was highly prognostic of 5- and 10-year rates of metastasis free survival (MFS), Overall Survival (OS), and prostate

Two week post SBRT update
Hello All, I completed my 5 SBRT sessions on 5/1/2024. My results have been very similar to ToolBeltZia so I have not posted repetitive daily entries. Here are some items that may be of interest. 1) Very similar issues with constipation as ToolBeltZia had following SBRT. That is just now improving

LIQUID BIOPSY: Hello friends, what do you know about Liquid biopsy of circulating tumor ctDNA? Is it usefull with 6.2 PSA ?
Hello friends, what do you know about Liquid biopsy of circulating tumor ctDNA? Is it usefull with 6.2 PSA ? Depending on the results do we get access to some novel drugs like olapariv or nivolumab, etc, that might help us ? 🫠thanks, Manilo.

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

Jevtana
Once again I am asking for any information that can be provided from this great group. Would appreciate any information for Jevtana treatment. At doctor's appt yesterday, my husband's hemoglobin had decreased to 7.6 and he had to have a blood transfusion. His Alkaline Phosphatase went up again. He

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?

Testosterone was nearly back to normal, then dropped
I had a year of Lupron and Enzalutamide in 2022. Testosterone slowly came back to a high of about 240 in June and Sept 2023. Normal for me is around 350 - 375. Now this week T is down to 156. Is this sort of fluctuation normal? I had 6 months of ADT in connection with radiation for recurrent PCa

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.
