Proton Treatment - When to start the ADT relative to simulation and CT of the prostate
I am talking to two radiologists who have a strong difference of opinion. One radiologist tells me I should start ADT two months before I do the space OAR, markers and simulation, and then start the radiation. Another doctor tells me I should start the ADT at the same time as I do the space OAR and simulation

Carbo/Caelyx and CA 125
Hi Ladies, My mom has been treated for her first recurrence with the Carbo/Caelyx combo since September 2023 and she so far has finished 4 rounds. Her CA 125 went down from 258 to 18 after the third round and the CT scan showed the cancer in her peritoneum shrank significantly. After the 4th round

Concern - At 4 mo on Lupron/Abi, Testosterone hits 40
While PSA was again <.1 yesterday, testosterone jumped to 40 ng/dl or 1.4 nmole/L, which is a big move toward the 1.7 danger zone for faster movement toward CRPC ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5472467/ ) , and I am interested

Earlier surrogates of overall survival to speed up new drugs development
there are statisticians (using AI) that are trying to find even earlier predictors to speed up the progress but it seems that progression free survival could already save 2 years for a new drug to be available on the market https://www.pcf.org/news/new-prostate-cancer-foundation-funded-research-to-speed-up-prostate-cancer-clinical-trials-worldwide

RT results look good
After a bout of sepsis from a directed biopsy, 5 weeks of RT and 3 months of Eligard, my tests show undetectable PSA. I'm still dealing with side effects (interrupted sleep, urinary and bowel differences) but happy to report it looks like, for the time being, that my stage 2/3 PC may have been beaten

PSA spiked from .6 to 8.0 in 3 months
The blood test corroborates the MRI that shows spread. I am talking with Dr Goodman in the AM. Am I doomed? My PSA has never been 8. before

Best time of day to take medichecks pernicious anemia test with MMA, intrinsic factor antibodies, folate, active b12, red blood cells etc?
I'm going to take the medichecks pernicious anemia test. They don't seem to say anything about fasting beforehand, but I know that sometimes it can be better to do so even if not advised. What time of day, and/or fasting state, should I take this test? I'll be going to a clinic for a blood draw and

"treating PSA" vs "treating cancer" advice
Hi all, My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer over a year ago (history of his diagnosis is in my profile). When he was diagnosed he did triple therapy (docataxel, zoladex and nubeqa). He has now on zoladex injections (every 3 months) and nubeqa (darolutamide) tablets daily. Thankfully
