Low testosterone is associated with extremely poor survival metrics, post-ADT.
These companion plots compare: (A) median survival times, (B) PSA doubling times, and (C) Time to PSA Failure for two different levels of testosterone: Low and Normal. The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL. The cohort is 58 men with unfavorable

Low Testosterone reduces Survival by a huge amount.
This plot compares prostate cancer specific mortality probability versus time for two different levels of testosterone: Low and Normal. The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL. The cohort is 58 men with unfavorable intermediate risk who underwent

upcoming PET scan
so, hereās where we areā¦ My Joe has been experiencing increasing pain in his left hip and thigh. Today he said the thigh is numb. PET scan scheduled this coming Tuesday. He thinks itās a hairline fracture. Is it wrong of me to hope heās right, vs his cancer having landed there? Heās 4 months post-Pluvicto

My own PSA values over time: 70% drop in just 3 months on Dutasteride and no ADT
Here are my own PSA values versus time plot. You can see there is an exponential rise in PSA starting at around 6/1/23, and doubling from PSA = 5 to 10 in about 8 months. My MRI at PSA = 10 showed a T3a tumor about 1.3 cm long (PIRADS 5). A subsequent targeted biopsy showed Gleason 3+4 in 4 cores,

PSA levels will increase over time, depending on the level of testosterone - Part I
Here's a schematic plot of the increase in PSA level (or increase in tumor volume) over time, for various levels of testosterone (while the tumor is relatively small). At very low levels of testosterone (for example, T = 10 ng/dL), the increase in PSA level is very small after a given time (for example

Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer. I have an appointment with md Anderson in 4 weeks which seems like eternity. I ended up at md Anderson emergency room due to some blood clots. They ran a ct with contrast & this is what report says Bilateral segmental/subsegmental pulmonary

Baseline PSMA-Pet scan?
My MO has given me instructions to end treatment 7/31. I've been on Lupron & Zytiga/5mg prednisone since 8/1/2022. I started out with Gleason (3+4) 7. Last May I had pelvic radiation to hit lymph nodes as per a 2021 PSMA-Pet scan. Now it's time to stop all treatment at the 2 year mark. My MO just kind

Minor psa increase again
Just over 12 months since adt finished. All clear at <0.01 2 months ago when it started to rise to 0.03 then 4 weeks later 0.05 now 0.07. Have Dr's app in 3 weeks which will probably be a referral back to oncologist. Do we need to wait until 2.0 then a PET scan or can I be proactive now? My adt was

Help! Anyone here try zytiga holidays. Like one week off a month. Or weekends off?
Help! Anyone here try zytiga holidays for 2-7 days every so often? Also, any recommended medications recommended to stop these hot flashes. I only take the 250mg because I get the same affect. With 1000 mg I have heart problems.Thanks4673

MRI scan results
I have had back issues for many years but in March this flare up seemed different. I finally went private for a consultation which quickly lead to an MRI scan last week. The consultant called me within 5 days, this set off alarm bells as usually takes 2 weeks plus, to say I have a growth which he would

Non metastasis castrate resistant
When you are on ADT and become Non metastatic Castrate resistant and your testosterone levels are below zero, what is the cancer feeding off to cause the PSA to still rise? Hoping for your replies so as to give me some understanding. Thank you.

MY pBAT Stats From June to March 8 months
Hi All, Just thought I would give an update on my pBAT (Testosterone propianate BAT) for the last 8 months. I do T propianate injections every other day while on High T for 2 weeks then slam the door with Darolutamide for 2 weeks and then one week to clear the Daro. Rinse and repeat. I also take intermittent

Statins
Hi, new member here, 60yo. Cholesterol 5.1 overall, CT scan showed potential CAD - echo and possible angioplast to be done in due course. I've been told in no uncertain terms I have to take statins. I'm not overly enamoured about that as there seems to be so many varying studies; some say they'll give
