Modified Citrus Pectin
This sure does not boost my confidence in MCP. Doesnt really give any specifics, just a general, "it is better than nothing, but not by much"? Again, any insight would help. Modified citrus pectin (MCP) increases the prostate-specific antigen doubling time in men with prostate cancer: a phase II pilot

The Thymus & ADT
New paper below [1]. The thymus has an important immunological role during childhood, but strangely, shrivels up at puberty. A PubMed search of gives 1,753 hits, going back 100 years. Many years ago, I discovered that castration could cause the thymus to regenerate. I wondered what that meant for

Got the Second Opinion
And I am SO glad I did! In a prior post, I had told about events leading up to a cardiologist getting snippy with me because I questioned the need for an ablation. The more research I did the more convinced I became that my gut feeling was right and I set up an appt. with a different doctor. Monday

I have not used 2d line AR drugs yet. CRPC just started six months ago. My PSA is below 1. One small, suspected area on last month's PSMA PET scan. That is the same area that looked suspicious on PSMA PET in 2016 and on Axumin in early 2021. I did IADT 2016-2020, with continuous ADT since Jan 2021

radiation cystitis?
My husband has had blood in his urine recently. The urologist did a cystoscope late August after he had blood in his urine then. The bladder looked fine. He also checked his AUS device for erosion but it also was working properly (although he still leaks and has to wear pads or depends). The urologist

Switching OAB medication to solifenacin
Hi All, My son has just started solifenacin after being on oxytrol patches. On the patches he had become dry overnight and his incontinence had decreased to small daily leaks. Because he wasn't completely dry in the day our urologist wanted to change his medication. It is only day 5 of taking solifenacin

what’s typically after taxotere?
My father did 10 days radiation to lumbar spine and pelvis, is doing ADT (zytiga,Lupron) as well the xgeva. He just did his first round of taxotere last week and we’re gonna get him through the 6 rounds, god willing. What’s typically the next step after chemo? Does he then do immunotherapy? Also,

Pain after TURP
I underwent a TURP about 2 weeks ago. This was after having total urine retention, and subsequently living with a Foley catheter for 7 months. I had a Suprabupic catheter put in when under with the TURP, and lucky they did, as so far I still haven't any sort of normal urinary function. The question
