First MO visit
Prostectomy in 2017 and radiation in 2020 with no further treatment. PSMA test in November 2023 was negative with PSA of 0.14 at that time. My PSA has now increased to 0.34. I have my first visit with an MO in a couple weeks. Any suggestions or hints as to what to expect for treatments following

PSA in lower range, yet PSMA PET SCAN shows diffuse bone Metastasis
Dear all , my father latest Total PSA level shows 6.24 which is down after touching 10.45. He was given one infusion of Docetaxel, however, he has been weaned off due to adverse reactions he has had, as his overall condition worsened and he had lot of prolonged mouth sores, with WBCs touching .08 and

Saxon clinical trial
Hello all, I was recently enrolled in the Saxon clinical trial combining Xofigo with SBRT. Is anyone else in that trial? Diagnosed with prostate Cancer July 2014, Gleason 7 (4+3) in 6 of 12 . After Radiation treatments my PSA was undetectable until July 2019. It rose to 3.9 in January 2020

A quick introduction
Good day to all! I’ve been faithfully reading this forum for a little while, and have found it interesting and helpful, sometimes even encouraging. So, my diagnosis was in April of this year (2023): stage four prostate cancer with considerable metastasis to bone (ribs, sternum, pelvis). PSA was

My dear father is ill
Hello to everyone! I am concerned daughter of 76 years old father, looking for help. He was diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma, grade group 3, Gleason 4+3=7 in August this year. His PSA was 528, a month later 859. Multiple bone metastases (scull, shoulder, spone, pelvis…) found on bone scintygraphy

New hope for castrate resistant prostate cancer on the horizon
A new experimental drug is in development that reverses castrate resistance and makes the cancer amenable to further treatment. Early days yet but it looks interesting. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/oct/16/new-prostate-cancer-treatment-may-be-on-the-horizon-say-scientists

The Science is Coming
Good to see the mini AZD5069 trial with enzalutamide offering another route to taming the beast. I am no scientist but as I understand it the target is myeloid white blood cells which can act to fuel tumours. The drup blocks the CXCR2 receptor and, in a small sample seems to have resulted in tumour shrinkage

my prostate cancer
Diagnosed in November 2022. Favorable intermediate with Gleason 6 & Gleason 7 (3+4), with 4 less than 5%, and low Decipher score. On AS. 13 months later, one year MRI showed “concerning” images, with irregular capsule (visible), and extra capsular extension probable (interpretation from radiologist).

FDG+/PSMA- lesions
My dad has metastatic CRPC. Xtandi failed, but at the moment he is still on it as we evaluate possible treatment options. Today we received also results of PSMA PET CT - it it stated, that there are discrepancies (loss of PSMA expression) with at least 4 bone mets when compared to findings of FDG (

post radiation. Currently on ADT. PSA slight increase ?
Hey all, My father who started at 226PSA has finished radiation treatment about a year ago.: and remains on ADT. his PSA was sitting 0.03 but has jumped to 0.08. Is this any cause for concern? I took it as a positive as it sounds extremely low but now second guessing ..

Just finished my second Pluvicto round.
After the first round my PSA went down a couple of pts. After the second round it went up about 25 pts. Have not done any scan and I would rather wait until after the third round in mid April. I see no problem with this. Increase PSA can be the result of dying cancer cells, right SUV numbers in the 20s

treatment or no treatment?
it’s been almost 3 years since i was diagnosed with a Gleason 8 prostate cancer, confined to the prostate. To date I have elected not to be treated but instead have been monitoring my PSA levels. Originally this was 6 now 15. I am 66 with no symptoms and no other health issues. I have declined treatment

Is there hope despite the pain? Is Cabometyx worth it?
My 63 year old husband LD stopped Cabo (Cabometyx) when we had Covid (because we took Paxlovid). Now he doesn't want to start up again because of side effects we believe are caused by the Cabo: jaw pain and numbness, body aches, tingling in extremities, pain in the shoulder joint emanating down his arm

Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
Hi, I'm 68 years old. Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a PSA value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle. Also the fat plane between the rectum and prostate is lost

sudden PSA rise on follow up after having biopsy two years prior. Low Gleason score, I chose robotic surgery to hopefully rid myself of cancer. Scheduled for Jan 9th & trying to get better educated about situation. Thanks

Respite from the fight
My beloved is snoring beside me: a sound I wasn’t sure I’d get to hear again. He’s spent the last two years “living” in the recliner in the living room. Pneumonia 3 times: a collapsed lung, likely from one of a series of falls last spring. On oxygen PRN since June 2023. Surgery to stretch the right

MO recommendations at Mayo, Moffitt?
Hello - After 7 months of ADT (Lupron/abi) my MOs are not offering anything but continuation until my PSA fails, so I'd like to network more; so please let me know whom you think are the best at these two places. Thanks in advance.

PSA Doubled in 2 Months
PSA end of August was 0.12 now 0.24. I met with 2 ROs to discuss treatment when my PSA was 0.20 a week ago . One suggested ADT 18-24 months and prostate bed radiation. Second RO says we can avoid ADT for now as he sees 0.70 as the value he believes requires ADT. I'm scheduled for F18 PSMA scan in early
