Interesting PSA observation
For my prostate cancer journey, please see my bio. In 06/2023 I was also diagnosed with testicle lymphoma, maybe as a side effect of earlier radiation. Testicle has been removed, PET/CT & co showed no other evidence of cancer. So I perform four cycles of R-CHOP chemo regimen. Why I post this here? After

Looking For Prostate Cancer Survivors For Friendship And/Or Dating
I am a 65 year old prostate cancer survivor of almost 10 years. I did have a small scare during COVID and had to undergo 36 radiation treatments. There was no metastasis and there has been no indication of cancer metastasizing since. My PSA has been 0.04 since the treatment ended. I know it sounds weird

Any ideas for hot flashes? Getting worse.
Dx in 8/2020 with Gleason 8. Had RP 11/2020. One lymph node involved so MO/RO at MGH recommended aggressive treatment. Went on Lupron and Abi for 2 years and 39 radiation treatments. All drug treatment ended in April of this year. Hot flashed started after a few months on Lupron and were bearable

My MSK Precise / SBRT Journey -- Two Years Post Treatment

I have spoken on here a few times about my dad who is on Erleada + ADT but it has failed. They have done quite a few scans recently because he is in significant pain. But all scans have come back “clear” in that there is no significant change in metastasis etc. we are at a point now where he barely

Switching to Lupron?
I've been on Firmagon for two years. PSA undetectable (<.064), all scans negative. Will switching to a six month Lupron shot cause testosterone flare?

A couple of weeks ago, I partially read a lengthy and extremely interesting post explaining many aspects of PCa..., also the link between PSA and PCa and many other facts. I flagged the post to read later but for some reason the post has been deleted. Can anyone point me to this post as from what

What to do?
Hi All, At the end of August 2023 I completed 8 rounds of docetaxel. On 9/13/23 my PSA was 5.7, 10/30/23 8.25 and 11/27/23 it’s now 16.72. This year has been a shit show. I know my MO will put me on pluvicto. Here’s my quandary: I am a single gay man. Parents gone. No siblings. All I have to really

Sudden onset of severe leg pain
Yesterday my husband was strolling about the house as usual. Last night he experienced debilitating pain in his right thigh to the point he collapsed when trying to put weight on it, and then could not sleep because of the pain. He has needed a walker for even a few steps. We visited his PCP today

BAT trial update
I commenced the trial about 2 months ago and I have now had 2 cycles of treatment consisting of testosterone injections and carboplatin infusions. 5 days ago I had my first CT and bone scans and the trial leader tells me my 3 detectable rib metastases are 'stable'. The stable assessment is good enough

What is reco diet to take abi with food?
I am on Lupron and Abi two months now with <.1 PSA down from 2.2, MO says I can do abi w food if I want, so is it an okay idea to go with 500 or 250mg per day vs 1000, and if so, how many grams of fat constitute the low fat breakfast to eat with the abi? 🙂

Firmagon vs. Lupron
PSA undetectable, all scans negative. On Firmagon every 28 days. The last two shots I've had bad reactions. Chills and no sleep the day of the shot and flu like symptons for a week or so. My question is this: Would it be risky to switch to a six month Lupron shot instead of monthly Firmagon shots? The

FYI: New data on progression of visceral mets without PSA progression (discordance) and ARAT/docetaxel therapy
Interesting study, folks. We know physical progression of PCa (i.e., new metastases) can occur without PSA progression. This is known as a discordance. But we don't know how often it occurs or why it occurs. In these instances, our greatest fear is "therapy-induced neuroendocrine prostate cancer
