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.

I am 68 with low volume metastatic to hip bones. Nothing elsewhere, at this time. Had PSA of 125 last April, and oncologist put me on Relogolix and Darolutemide. That along with going to plant based diet and adding weights and HITT exercise 3-4x per week, has brought me down to < .006. that’s the

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?

Epididymitis or something else?
Hi everyone, bit embarrassed to be even posting this, but just a bit worried, very worried in fact.

HealthUnlocked is great. I enjoy the value of the material and the personalities on the MaleCare Advanced Prostate Cancer forum. I also mostly post replies, including detailed replies that could be root posts. But I was inspired to post them as a reply in the context of a discussion initiated by someone

SOC & PSA
Three months post RT, my RO ordered a non-ultrasensitive PSA test with a lower limit of "<.1". I see posts of folks considering an increase from .02 to .06 a PSA doubling - obviously which would not be observable with my PSA test. This makes me wonder why: 1) Is there any good reason why an ultrasensitive

Side effects back 6months after treatment.
Hi all I am 67 and was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year with a PSA of11, an MRI indicated a couple of areas of concern in the prostate which was later confirmed by a Prostate biopsy (Ouch!!). I was given a choice of treatments and I opted (rightly or wrongly) for external beam radiotherapy

In preparation for my six month follow up to radiation and two months since the end of 6 months of Lupron on Thursday I got my blood work results via the portal.

Recovery of Testosterone
We all have heard about how long it takes to recover testosterone after you stop ADT. You probably also heard how age affects recovery time. The older you are the longer it takes and the T may never recover. The type of ADT you take can also affect recovery time - shot versus pill. I am 78 and I have

Stopping Lupron
Today I’ve had my next medical check. PSA still undetectable after RT IMRT/VMAT to prostate bed and pelvic floor accompanied by 24 months of Lupron. This was my third regimen after DXed in 11/2017, for more details pls refer to my bio. I will now stop Lupron, let’s see what the future will bring.

improving!
My PSA reading a few months ago was 1900+. it had been rising constantly for three years. Then I started taking Fenbendazole tablets for three days each week, and my PSA reading dropped by 400 each month and it is now 800+ and hopefully continuing to reduce! Mobellman
