83 year old male with a question: My understanding is that the role of hormone therapy is to lower one’s testosterone level. Does hormone therapy provide additional benefits in fighting prostate cancer beyond lowering testosterone levels? I was diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer (Gleason 10

Ablation procedure question
Probably a silly question, but: The procedure and bed rest lasts for several hours and they pump you with IV fluid. Do you have a tube placed to collect your urine or some other way to deal with it if you have to go?

Abiraterone + Prednisone with Preexisting CAD
On November 1, 2023 a PET scan established that my metastatic prostate cancer is castrate resistance. I added Abiraterone + Prednisone to my 3 monthly Lupron shot. Same PET scan detected severe calcification in multiple coronary arteries, which was confirmed by heart CT scan and angiogram. I have severe

covid vaccine & prostate cancer
Any concerns/studies re covid vaccines bringing prostate cancer back? No politics just want to know if there are any reasons to be concerned.

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

Dental Issues with Finesteride
I am 7 years post full gland HIFU surgery. Quality of life remains good. I've been off ADT all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems.

I started a Zytiga holiday yesterday. Still on Lupron for now. How long should I keep taking prednisone? I know Zytiga clears out pretty fast.

Second Recurrence
I was originally diagnosed in December 2018 with stage 3 high-grade primary peritoneal carcinoma. It recurred in December 2022. I had the same chemo both times: carbo/taxol. It appears that I have another recurrence because my CA 125 was 8 this past November. Then, it rose to 22 in December and today

Flare
Thursday, my husband had his follow-up appointment with Oncologist. I was very alarmed at some of his blood test results. His PSA went up to 1600. Doctor said other blood work was to be expected. I researched surged in PSA and found this, The PSA flare is a well-known phenomenon. The post chemotherapy
