Metastasized to Bones
I have been seeing post saying poeple being diagnosed with metastasized PC. I was diagnosed with PC metastasized to my bones, after being under urologist care for 18 months I am wondering if poeple who get initially diagnosed with metastasized PC, whether it is because they were not under medical care

Need help understanding Enzalutamide
I’m a wife of a PCa fella, 75 yrs old…married 53 yrs. I do all the research, then give info to him. He decides what he (we) will do with treatments. His history…diagnosed with biopsy in 2009…1 of 12 core samples with small amount of cancer. 3+3 with a PSA of 8. He decided to watch and wait. Reality

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

PSA 4.5, 9% free PSA, 65 yo
65 yo, in good health, active. I've had BPH and mild cessation incontinence ~2yrs. Semiannual PSA tests have been 2.2-3.8, very weak upward trend. MRI last April was neg. Latest reading was 4.5 ng/ml, free PSA 9%. First time urologist has mentioned free PSA. He recommends another MRI in April '24. Consensus

Limbo period after BCR post RP and SRT and prior to PSA enough for PSMA PET?
Quick background: RP 2/02, Meyers' PSA suppression until 2016 when PSA jumped from 17 to 28 in a month, 6 mos. adjuvant ADT3 before, during, after SRT, undetectable PSA until 5/30/23 at .1; .14 6/6; .12 7/11; .17 9/5. I have talked to a uro friend and seen my rad-onc and the plan seems to be to wait

tumor in spleen
my husband is having his spleen out very soon due to 2 tumors. We won’t know for sure if they are cancer until pathology done. He had radiation plus Lupron and has been in remission 2 years. 4 + 4 Psa still non detectable. Tumors picked up on pet scan to check kidney. Radiologist has said rare

PSMA PET scan
Hello everyone, pardon the simplicity of my question. Is PSMA the same as PET Scan? I ask this because I specifically asked my MO to have a PSMA pet scam but no where in the order or appointment a mention of PSMA pet scan it only says pet scan. I am concerned because MO doesn't seem to be very involved

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of radiotherapy accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment. I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that

castration after 7 years of ADT
I have been on Zoladex for nearly 7 years and am fully over any regrets of Chemical castration. My psa is now slowly rising and ghastly taken 2 years from undetectable to 0.65. I am considering surgical castration now as it would mean no more 3 monthly Zoladex injections and a reduced chemical load on

Can Radium 223 kill PCa in the prostate and can Docetaxel kill bone Mets?
Radiation is what l plan to do in the coming week. I would appreciate if you could tell me whether Radium 223 can kill PCa in the prostate and whether Docetaxel can kill bone Mets? Thanks.

Pluvicto Failed - Next step
Hello Warriors: Pluvicto has failed. I went through four sessions and had severe side effects of exhaustion and GI problems as well as it seemed to stimulate my foot neuropathy. My PSA went down during injection 2 and 3 but then came back up in 4. Disappointing... I just met my new MO at the Mayo

Does this mean we sould not use ubiquinol?
I would prefer not to drop ubiquinol, but this makes me think maybe I should? “Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) poses a major clinical challenge with the androgen receptor (AR) remaining to be a critical oncogenic player. Several lines of evidence indicate that AR induces a distinct transcriptional

Relugolix and Apalutamide
Any experience with elevated AST and ALT after being treated with Relugolix and Apalutamide? My AST and ALT were normal on Relugolix for 6 weeks.....added Apalutamide and after 4 weeks my AST and ALT are now 3X previous level. I feel fine. Oncologist is wanting to stop the one of the drugs.....I convinced

What a long strange road it's been.
Nov 2007 I had DaVinci surgery Gleason 7. I got the surgeon's notes and he said margins were clear, took s bunch of lymph glands, all clear. Held my dick in his hand and said it would come back. It did, but never quite lost the "happy bladder" and I shot pee about 50% of the time. PSA never went

Prostate Cancer (stage IV) identified in January and Small Cell Carcinoma (Neuro endocrine) in liver in August. Any suggestions?
In January, my dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer (Acinar Adenocarcinoma Prostate) stage 4, with PSA of 687. PCa had reached bones but not other major organs. He was put on Abiraterone and Degarelix. In August, PSA test showed that PSA had dropped to 2.7 and there was decrease in size and PSMA avidity

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

Infections during Chemo
After my LRP (2010) I had UTI's continually for ~2 years. I have no idea what finally shook them off -- a change from a tropical to a temperate climate, maybe? I am not coming to the end of the oral treatments available to me. At some time in the not too distant future I will be moving to docetaxel

Alternate prostate treatment
I saw a brief article in the current AARP magazine. Wondering if this is accurate: “In a recent study of 115 midlife and older men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who had their prostate gland completely treated via TULSA-Pro (ultrasound heat), 96 percent of participants saw their PSA

Doxazosin
I am on 4 mg Doxazosin twice a day, combined with 2.5 mg Bendromethiazide and 100 mg Losartan. The Doxazosin was increased due to an increase in BP reading, and we opted for Doxazosin as at the time I had an enlarged prostate. The prostate has now been treated with a TURP operation. I am suffering from
