Nagalase count
My nagalase count is declining. 1.55 -1.37 - 1.12 today. The Clioquinol +zinc +ivermicetin is still working on the way to zero. PSA is steady at 32 Nagalase is an enzyme that cancer cells produce to protect themselves from the immune system.

Side effects from Xtandi monotherapy?
after failing multiple times on regular ADT plus SBRT and finally failing LU– 177 and Provenge, my PSA went on the rise again. I’ve been on mono Xtando for six weeks and not feeling well despite trying to exercise heavily. Going in for bloodwork tomorrow. What kind of labs should I ask for? Anyone

I love this sci-fi: Swimming Microrobots Deliver Cancer-fighting Drugs to Metastatic Lung Tumors in Mice
we are getting better and better… “The nanoparticles are made of tiny biodegradable polymer spheres, which are loaded with the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin and coated with red blood cell membranes.” https://today.ucsd.edu/story/swimming-microrobots-deliver-cancer-fighting-drugs-to-metastatic-lung-tumors-in-mice

Please advice
My latest PSA on 6/11/24 was 1.06 up from 0.65 on 4/2/24. I have a meeting with my MO on 4/26 to discuss the next step. I was taking Opdivo immunotherapy from 2/2023 to 2/2024 for bladder cancer. so far my bladder cancer is in check so now I can focus on my PCA. Should I get a PSMA pet? is it time to

Opinions on my 2nd MRI results
Hello, I just received the results from 2nd MRI (results below and photos in reply), previous one was from Jan/2023 (results in bio). Having been on these forums for almost two years now, and in AS at UCLA, I highly value the opinion of those here that have similar experiences to my situation. Questions

Why is oncologist not concerned about liver lesion?
So my husband has prostate cancer with mets to the bone, diagnosed 2 years ago, and he just had a CT scan done. They detected a lesion in his liver that was not there before. But the oncologist didn't even mention it? Can they tell it's not from the prostate cancer just from a CT scan?

Iodine and Povidone - A Chemistry Lesson
Over the years, we have seen many mentions of povidone-iodine. This video is the first time I have ever come across a proper explanation as to why povidone-iodine is chosen! It then continues with its aim of extracting pure iodine from povidone-iodine. The video could be very boring if you are

When is PARP introduced?
Hi My husband is currently on triple therapy ( Docetaxel chemo , Zoladex every 3 months and nubeqa) he has one more chemo round left next week. He is responding well so far as PSA is declining ( see profile for PSA) . I have seen some men are talking a PARP inhibitor and nubeqa and zoladex ( or ADT

Recurrence :(
Hi ladies,I haven't posted on here for a while, but I've just found out that my cancer has come back. I was initially diagnosed in October 2021 with stage 4 HGSOC and had 6 rounds of carbotaxol with a total abdominal hysterectomy and omentectomy after the 3rd cycle. I then went on to Olaparib, initially

stopping Abiratrerone
I was diagnosed with PC in Jan 2001 with Gleason of 4+ and a PSA that never got above 10. From a PSMA scan, I have bone metasteses in skull, ribs, backbone, hips, pelvic bone. WE believe that in my case PSA has never been a very useful measure. I have been taking Abiraterone, Prostap and prednisolone

Diagnosed with prostate cancer with 1 lesion Gleason 7 (4+3). Have had MRI, biopsy and just completed PSMA Pet Scan. I see my doctor next week. I received the results and surprised to show some uptake in a lymph node. There is focal avid uptake noted in the anterior peripheral zone of the prostate

AI research
Recently I met a Phd post grad working for Oak Ridge National Labs on a project utilizing AI to search the whole internet for information and treatments for

. After hearing this I pointed out that the statistics for
breast
cancer
and prostate cancer were basically the same.

Expectations
I have undergone 45 radiation treatments and am on my last month of Eligard. PSA is undetectable and my T is barely existent. No mets detected on prior pet scans. My Urologist and Oncologist are giving me congrats. I understand this is probably a temporary remission (g 4+3 - stage 2/3) but I wonder

Waiting for me to die
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Sometimes i get the feeling that friends and family members are waiting for me to die. I was diagnosed stage 4b metastasis in January 2021 and have been on treatment Lupron and Xtandi since April 2021 3 years now. From an outward appearance I don't

Aquablation with APC
Hi there - does anyone here have experience with an aquablation procedure to improve urinary symptoms? My father is considering it. He has been on doublet therapy for 1.5 years, his PSA recently started to tick up a little. It's been difficult to get a clear answer on whether the procedure poses any
