Salvage Brachytherapy
has anyone here had salvage brachytherapy? High dose radiation Brachytherapy is being recommended for me at MSK pending results of a very recent MRI to determine if I can have it. Sounds promising….administered with carefully placed needles over two sessions two weeks apart. Current PSA is 0.02 on

Pluvicto results (good news), next steps
I completed six Pluvicto treatments at Mayo in Rochester in December 2023. Choline-11 Pet scan in January 2024 showed no evidence of PCa, and PSMA Pet scan on May 22, 2024 continued to show complete remission. Pretty incredible to compare scans from a year ago, riddled with PCa, to the most recent scans

What happens next
My 68 year old husband was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer to the bones Oct 22 with PSA at 220. Since then he has been on Zoladex, Enzalutamide and has just finished 8 rounds of Docetaxel. Apart from this cancer he is very healthy - but what happens now when the PSA starts rising again. He

chemo re challenge
hi there my father is about to start another cycle of carboplatin and etoposide this week. He had good response to this 5 years ago- much better than docetaxel or jevtana. I’m wondering your thoughts about whether this could be effective again.. it has been 5 years but has other treatments and progression

Severe side effects with enzalutamide.
I’ve been on enzalutamide monotherapy for about 2 1/2 months. The side effects are quite debilitating even though I train hard, lift weights and hike almost daily. After sailing through Orgovyx with very little side effects I am surprised it is so difficult with enzalutamide. During the night, the lower

Please advise about treatment
I posted recently about my Dad’s PSA going up from 0.008 in December 2023 to 0.029 in March 2024. He had a PET Scan that showed some activity in a rib and prostate, MRI showed nothing. The PSA started dropping to 0.026 at the end of March and then 0.025 in April without any treatment. We didn’t anticipate

Testosterone is increasing? Should I be worried?
Hello everyone, Since my father’s surgery in 2022, his PSA levels have been undetectable. He receives a Zoladex injection every three months. Until this month, the reference range for total testosterone was 1.93 - 7.40 ug/L, and his result was 0.126 ug/L. This month, the lab's reference value format

I need facts on nutrition, vitamins and supplements.
I am a 5 year survivor, currently in recurrence with a rising PSA. Doc has started me on Lupron and Enzalutamide. I’m interested in learning factual info on the effects of diet, nutrition, vitamins and supplements on PCa. I’ve read tons of theories. Where are the clinical reports? Thanks!

Eligard (Lupron) vs. Zoladex
One month ago, Doctor changed the drug from Eligard to Xtandi + Zoladex, It seems to work. The PSA went down from 2.25 to 0.18, and Testosterone went down to 23 from 1080. Why Eilgard not works and Zoladex work??? The are same drug which removes testosteron????? I thought Zoladex is used for women and

Dad 2nd BCR. Advice needed...
After a very late salvage radiation + 1 year Lupron. He has been off ADT for 1 year when PSA began to rise again. From 0.01 to 0.03 in less than 2 months then 0.05 after another 3 months. Is this indicative of an aggressive progression and metastasis? The oncologist said that the doubling time is not
