which steroids and what dosage.
Don’t know if the steroid Dexamethosone would be appropriate for brain cancer but your doctor should know. It is given to me every 21 days at Docetaxel chemo infusion for PCa and absolutely eliminates pains. Can last for 12-18 hours. Ask your doc about it. Mike Seattle

Holding very low stable usPSA - 0.03X range for six years; no ADT, no chemo.
Eight years ago this month had RP after considerable investigation - nadir 0.050. Eleven months later had salvage RT; done at 0.10. Then after a year of pondering ADT and chemo, when my usPSA was back up to 0.10, I went to Europe for Ferrotran nano-MRI combined with Ga68 PSMA. The nanoMRI lite up

Age and timing for Triplet therapy?
I am age 81, active and neither fit nor frail, radiated in 2021 without hormone therapy. Radiated again in 2023 for a pelvic node. In December the PSA rose to 3.78 and a PSMA-PET scan showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, and spread to one abdominal node. I started ADT with

Divergent second opinion
My husband was recently diagnosed with PCa with 6-7 mets to the bones as seen on the PSMA Pet scan (see profile for details), The first MO we met at an NCCN center recommended triplet therapy. He has started Firmagon + Darulotomide with Docetaxel planned in the coming weeks. We also got a second opinion

PC no longer castrate resistant
Hello all, my latest pet/ct scan indicates my PC is no longer castrate resistant as there is new disease growth in my lungs. Largest lesion is 2.5 centimeters. I'm no longer taking xtandi, so it can be "washed out" of my system prior to new treatment, however I'm still getting quarterly lupron shots

Constipation from PARPS
Hello, I had a recurrence last year after being in remission for over 6 years. I was diagnosed as being a 3C and am BRAC2. I did really well with the chemo and now I have been taking Olaparib for a little less than 3 weeks. It's been rough especially at the beginning. They had to wait a few extra

Venatoclax mono therapy
I'm Interested in the Vanatoclac monetherapy which I am getting right now since summer. I cannot get a straight answer from my oncolog/hematologist at St. Joe's in Toronto or a clinical scientist at Sunnybrook about why I'm getting monotherapy and not dual therapy. I have had fewer side effects than

MSK Consult Today
Thanks to everyone who has given me excellent advice regarding my husband’s pca recurrence. Today we met with an MSK uro oncologist for a second opinion. He completely agreed and supported the plan of radiating the high pelvic nodes (including the lower abdominal nodes along the bifurcation) and slightly

Recurring Lung infection

what to expect
Is the loss of energy and weakness due to the
chemotherapy
or to the ADT? How long will it take to begin to recover from the side effects of
chemotherapy
? Am I going to remain at this level of energy or will I begin to get that back? When make that happen?

Why ADT after Ray treatment?
OK, I'm sure there is a logical answer to this question but at present it is evading me. So for all of us who decide to take the ADT path for a few months to stabilize our PCa and then hit it with the big guns such as a month (or more) of IMRT and in my case a follow-up of HDR Brachy Boost therapy,

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
Hello, I wanted to provide an update on my husband's progression and, hopefully, some of you may have some knowledge to share or have a similar profile. His psa has risen from <0.04 since RP for Stage 3b to 0.06 in 9/23. A recheck a week later showed a rise to 0.1. This was followed by a drop to <.04

unending chemo
Hi everyone. I’m currently on Enhertu and have been since last April. Right now, I only have Mets to my bones. Everyone is always asking me when I will finish chemo. I have asked my oncologist this as well. Her response was “when it no longer works “ I guess I just assumed that at some point I could

Blood Test Results/Niraparib
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with High Grade Stage 4 ovarian cancer in July 2016, and have since had chemo, then surgery, and then 2nd line chemo following a recurrence. After that, in September 2019, I was offered Niraparib, which has worked wonderfully for me! My GP has recently requested repeat
