Talzenna
Has anyone tried Talzenna ? My dad was just started and after 2 weeks his PSA spiked 47 points to 105. He’s been battling hard, Lynparza worked like a miracle for 7 months then had to decrease dose d/t low hemoglobin and low RBC, had to have transfusions twice. Then Lynparza stopped working after

PSA declining?
My PSA was 5.18 in 11/22, 3.26 in January 2023, and 5.88 in March 2023. I had a biopsy in July 2023 which found cancer in 3 of 13 cores. On October 4, my PSA dropped to 1.5. I had another PSA test on 11/8 and it was 1.0. I stopped taking an IM testosterone shots in March 2023 and my testosterone

Information overload and now decision time!
Okay, so I am at that stage of making a decision. Mind you I am about to embark on a 10 week overseas 45th anniversary trip. Dr says that should be fine. So whatever decision i come up with now could change by late November. So then a month ago, I had 42 biopsy samples taken and 8 of them were found

Metformin and rosuvastatin
It is hard to find a report/article on Metformin's possible positive association with PC that is not full of medical speak. How does anyone know if their NKX3.1 is low or high? 3 years ago I was diagnosed with unfavorable Gleason 7, with an initial psa of 6.4. Three months later I had an RP and have

Orgovyx stopped woking.
Started orgovyx 2 months ago. PSA went from 35 to 5 in first month. Second month, PSA went from 5 to 8. This month PSA is 18. Looks like cancer is castrate resistant. Anyone else had this problem. If so what did your doc switch you to and how is it working for you? I talked to my doc today, he said he

12-year post surgery PSA
Hi All, Hard to believe that it’s been 12 years since my prostatectomy. So many health issues since then that PCa has moved down my list of worries. My PSA for the prior 2 years was .008. This year’s result just back and it’s ticked up to .009. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about, but of

Switching from Abi to Enza?
Hi everyone, my father has been taking Abiraterone since 2.5 years now (along with prednisolone 5mg). It has nicely brought down his PSA from 500 to less than 1 and kept it steadily less than 1 since the past one year. He, of course, takes Lupron alongside. However, Abiraterone has resulted in some side

PSMA Score 5
My husband has a PSA of 0.97 following a prosatectomy 10 years ago and radiation. He is on Zytiga but PSA doubled in the last 6 months. He had a PSMA Scan this past week and came back with a Score 5. Wondering if anyone else out there has gotten this result and what the next line of treatment is.

Update on 8/4 post from alperk
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated, 35 grays in 5 fractions. PSA crept back up to 4.2 on 9/6 and scan showed again only one active site in nearly the same location

After APCa treatment ends
A lot of folks will see their APCa treatment come to an end, hopefully due to good PSA levels and scans. But the end of treatment is the beginning of living with no net under you, with periodic checkups and scans, with emotional stress especially since LT SE's may continue, change or crop-up, and last

Now my cancer is now under control, my wife no longer wants to be with me.
I was diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer, bladder and pelvis in late 2019. I went straight on Casodex and 2 years of Eligard shots. 9 rounds of Docetaxel, kidney stents and VMAT radiation therapy. Following my last PET scan, no new growth was evident and my PSA has been under 1.0 for the last

radiation whack-a-mole?
My stage IV prostate cancer has gone castrate resistant ... I've been taking androgen blockers (Eligard injections 90 days plus daily 1gm of abiraterone) for five years. The primary treatment in summer 2018 was external beam radiation. In 2021 I had cyberknife radiation to new lesions in spinal vertebrae

Bone Pain
I have been having significant bone pain in my shoulder that keeps me awake at night. I thought that maybe I was just being a hypochondriac and assuming that every ache or pain was due to "my cancer". Or maybe I fell but forgot about it. Well it has been getting a lot worse and I just had a PSMA scan
