Father with Stage 4 prostate cancer in 8 bones.
On 10/25/22 I took my dad (79 at the time) to the ER at the VA for escalating back pain and we walked out with a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. When I brought him to the ER I expected them to tell me he had lung cancer as he is a lifelong smoker. Additionally, I had been worried about him all year

What should I do - follow-ups not feeling thorough
Hi everyone, before I start my question I want to send out love to everyone on here and I really wish being well for everyone. I wish there wasn’t a load of experts on here because it means we are all in this. I was diagnosed in 2022 - they thought they would find ovarian but they were surprised to

Chemo Failed
My dad finished Docetaxel in November. He went to oncologist today. His PSA went from 0.58 to 2.3. Things he tried: Lupron (on for years before failed) Zytiga (worked for 18 months) Orchidectomy Then the chemo. He is not a candidate for radiation because of a previous cancer. He is going to

mHSPCa with undetectable PSA - chemo-only?
Is chemo-only justified, without ADT/androgen receptor pathway inhibitors, in a case like mine with two new mets discovered and with PSA less than 0.1? I have had no SOC medication since 2.5 years, after SRBR to a single identified met. Gleason 9. This study points to ADT not being of benefit to low-PSA

Docetaxel results so far
People want to know if Docetaxel is worth doing due to the side effects.

Hip pain - related to radiotherapy?

GP doesn't know what the cause is (no surprise there!), but arranged an X-ray, which
