About Radiation After Radical Prostatectomy
Do Physicians only recommend radiation for non metastatic men? and only recently in Oligo metastatic patients? Do they use radiation as a tool to bring psa down in metastatic men? and or radiation is only used as palliative for bones and pain? My apologies, If I’m not processing this thoroughly

Avastin following taxol/carbo
Hi , I have 1 more session of taxol/carbo left and my oncologist wants to discuss going onto avastin however, I'm not sure whether that is needed at this stage. I have ovarian 4b and have been debunked. My ca125 levels were 7 before the last chemo 3 weeks ago. I feel very fit and healthy.I've not had

Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment? I am faced with starting a six dose regimen of taxotere now since ADT does not seem to be working according to PSMA scans. My psa remains at 1.8 even though the

brca 2
is there a difference between having a germline BRCA 2 mutation vs a somatic ? My dads is somatic not inherited ? They saw this by testing the tumor. I'm still a bit confused on it all can anyone clarify. Also is olparib safe with Zytiga? Any thoughts.

Crack in cranioplasty
I had a TBI when I was 6 years old and had plastic fitted into the back of my head to close it (cranioplasty). Some time ago however, I started getting some sudden pain (once I felt an electric current running through the back of my head; at age 40). After an MRI and CT Scan, it was found that I somehow

Last chance saloon or what?
My most recent PSA score went up to 9.04 from 2.45 in March, 2.14 in January 1.05 in November and it was 0.61 in August. I finished Docetaxyl chemotherapy on 7th Septemb er last year so I've only been on Prostap with prednisolone since then. My onco says he will arrange urgent bone scan and full body

Thyroid cancer
I have a close friend who’s just been diagnosed with thyroid cancer so is waiting for surgery. She has been told this is not the worst cancer to get and it will not kill her. So she is trying to be upbeat about it. Can you live normally without a thyroid please? I’d really like to give her some optimistic

Radiation safety precautions
96 yr old who's still going. A little slower but my daughter won't let me be sedentary. She's a real nag about, at minimum, 360 ounces of water, short walks (with walker) 2x day, and nutrition!! Was living on my own but live with her now, because she's the coordinator of all the appointments. Pluvitico

Clear Cell reoccurrence update number 4
Hi everyone, hope you’re all not too bad and enjoying the lovely weather. I’ve been back to The Christie, I didn’t get on the immunotherapy trial, my CA125 wasn’t high enough would you believe! I’m not a candidate for radiotherapy either but I may be a candidate for surgery. I’ve been referred for

USPSTF Update
Over 6 years later the USPSTF has yet to update the screening guidelines and we're seeing more and more men show up with mets and distant mets. The USPSTF is such a sham group of "experts in disease prevention" mitigating the financial exposure and demand on the Industrialized Healthcare Complex. Since

Testosterone
Good morning, After years of hormone therapy and low testosterone, my bloodwork from Thursday shows an increase of testosterone. My chart shows it’s been less that 7 for a number of years, now it’s listed as 8. Does this mean that the Xtandi/Eligard is not working anymore?

Theoretical study indicates the most practical natural anti-prostate cancer compound is grape seed extract
B2G2, the most active ingredient of grape seed extract (GSE), can act as an agonist for PTEN. PTEN has a key role in suppressing PCa cells by applying phosphatase activity and inhibiting cell proliferation. Investigation on the mechanisms by which the herbal remedies induce anti-prostate cancer activity

Appreciate cabazitaxel users to respond
I stopped Docetaxel at 8th round because my lower legs came down with serious edema. I plan to be treated with cabazitaxel which has less side effects. I know all individuals have different situations, Appreciate Cabazitaxel users to respond as to edema, hair loss, etc. Thanks.

intermittent ADT+Abiraterone
Six months ago I ended a 12 month holiday from my ADT + abiraterone. (In this post, I’m not asking for evaluations of the advisability of intermittency.) In making the decision to do the intermittency, my MO, among other things, said that the fact that I was on abiraterone was a positive factor for

Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

I owe you an update
Many thanks to the members of this forum. FYI, I was diagnosed with a DRE last October, 2023. I had a biopsy in November and confirmed an aggressive stage 5, Gleason 9 in 6 of 12 cores prostate cancer. A series of scans did not detect involvement beyond the prostate. My PSA was 9 at that time. I began

catheter for urinary retention
Does anyone have advice or tips on getting a catheter removed? My husband had it inserted due to urinary retention. The oncologist said his prostrate is full of cancer and pressing on the urethra. He has started adt with casodex and lupron. Soon to add zytiga. He also takes flomax. He’s tried twice
