PSA 8 months after EBRT
I need some reassurance. I tend to worry a little bit so please let me know if the following is or could be somewhat normal. As per my history, I had 4+3 per Dr. Epstein, had Pylarify with no mets, seed implant LD brachytherapy in July 2023, EBRT 28 treatments finishing first of Oct 2023. RO said ADT

Falling ALT - Pathway to Sarcopenia? - More Exercise Needed?
Two years in to my de novo high volume metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis, I am pleased to report excellent results so far with triplet therapy (Docetaxel chemo completed, Abiraterone ARPI, Firmagon/Degarelix GnRH antagonist as ADT). However I would be grateful for any advice today.

JUN protein could slow prostate cancer growth, study finds
"The results, which have just been published in the top journal "Molecular Cancer", provide a new starting point for the development of therapies..... Our research suggests that activating JUN could potentially be a promising therapeutic option for slowing the progression of prostate cancer" https

Could This Alternative Regiment Be Decelerating My PSA?
Between Summer of 2021 and Summer of 2023--two solid years--my PSA went from 11.5 to 15.3, roughly two points per year. Having concern about my PSA, I ventured into a more "aggressive anti-prostate cancer diet," centered around legumes/black, purple, wild rices/walnuts/flaxseed/tomato paste

Best alternative PET for PSMA negative PCa
Asking for a friend. He was diagnosed 3 years ago with high risk high volume (Gleason 3+5) PCa. Treated with EBRT + LDRBT + ADT (18 months). His PSA was undetectable but is now rising (3+) but PSMA-PET was negative, even in the prostate - implying PSMA non-avid cancer. What would be the best non-PSMA

Post radiation and low(er) testosterone
Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had similar experience. I had radiation for prostate cancer in December/January (getting out to about six months post treatment). My testosterone is sitting in the low 300's so on the low end of the reference range but still within it. I had been on testosterone replacement

ADT failure
We saw my Dad's MO on 5/23. Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's PSA moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto. My

Question for Oncologist
Tall_Allen, if you are around, I would especially appreciate your thoughts…….my husband, Dave is still on Lupron/Zytiga/Pred for M1a pc. only in a few abdominal nodes per PSMA scan.

Side effect of Lupron

Time to adjust my course, any suggestions?
Psa is on a steady increase again. I was taking extandi for a year up until 11 /23 over that yr my Psa had dropped from 29, 11/22 to 1.4 ,11/23. I was having significant SEs, brain fog mainly so I decided to switch to nubeqa (daralutimide) even tho there was a steady drop in PSA on extandi. Nubeqa
