Low Testosterone reduces Survival by a huge amount.
This plot compares prostate cancer specific mortality probability versus time for two different levels of testosterone: Low and Normal. The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL. The cohort is 58 men with unfavorable intermediate risk who underwent

My own PSA values over time: 70% drop in just 3 months on Dutasteride and no ADT
Here are my own PSA values versus time plot. You can see there is an exponential rise in PSA starting at around 6/1/23, and doubling from PSA = 5 to 10 in about 8 months. My MRI at PSA = 10 showed a T3a tumor about 1.3 cm long (PIRADS 5). A subsequent targeted biopsy showed Gleason 3+4 in 4 cores,

Doubling Times and PSA acceleration - Part II
This is a more realistic schematic plot of PSA levels increasing over time at an ever faster rate (acceleration). What could cause this? My theory is that as the tumor grows, the number of androgen receptors (ARs) increases proportionally. That makes sense...more PCa cells inside a tumor...more ARs

Non metastasis castrate resistant
When you are on ADT and become Non metastatic Castrate resistant and your testosterone levels are below zero, what is the cancer feeding off to cause the PSA to still rise? Hoping for your replies so as to give me some understanding. Thank you.

post menopause bleeding
Hi all, I’m a 64 year old woman whose periods stopped when I was 50, I chose HRT after a few years of non stop daytime sweats, zero concentration and bursting into tears at the drop of a hat 🙈 I stopped the HRT back in 2020 but had to start it again last year as the sweats returned with a vengeance

ok so it may be time to accept the fact that it may not be just my thyroid causing my issues.?so I’ve read quite a lot about her and think as I didn’t have a good run with levothyroxine I don’t think combining hrt tables as well is the way to go so after reading lots I’m thinking get with a progesterone

Revised Plot of PSA vs Testosterone: Estrogen vs Lupron ADT

Another brother passes
My friend, George, passed this morning after a two year battle. He was DX'd at 85 with prostate cancer (PSA of 1200) behind his eye which spread to his brain. Failed ADT, chemo and Pluvicto. He was not on this forum. He was very active, skied 120 days a year, biked the rest. He and his wife went to

PSMA Scan to be scheduled - thank you Tall Allen
I want to thank Tall Allen for his suggestion that I see an oncologist. I had a RP followed by radiation in 2013. My PSA was undetectable until 2021, when it started to rise. This week I saw a radiation oncologist (whom I found through a friend) to ask him a lot of questions and to get his advice.

One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems?
One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems? If you have had surgery, Salvage Radiation, ADT, SRBT and then stopped ADT with a continuing rise in you PSA when did you start to have pain or physical problems?
