Working with Stage IV
First time posting (be gentle) Anybody else still at work with the disease. I’ve contributed to a pension for 24 years, and with being diagnosed, am I being foolish staying at work. Note-minimum retirement is 58 at my work. Also, did read this right, ADT only gives about 10 mos. to 1 year increase

Stopping Lupron
Today I’ve had my next medical check. PSA still undetectable after RT IMRT/VMAT to prostate bed and pelvic floor accompanied by 24 months of Lupron. This was my third regimen after DXed in 11/2017, for more details pls refer to my bio. I will now stop Lupron, let’s see what the future will bring.

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,

Does ADT work for Gleason 9?
About to start ADT for Gleason 9 (5+4) for locally advanced prostate cancer, followed by IMRT in 1-2 months. (Plan to ask about HDR boost). PSMA Pet negative for spread but MO had another radiologist look at initial prostate MRI suggests extracapsular extension along neurovascular bundle with possible

restricted urinary flow
Finished IMRT/ SBRT radiation to lymph nodes last week. Since then Ive begun have early AM restricted urinary flow - Very narrow stream. Rad Onc suggested tamsulosin or ibuprophen. MO, tamsulosin. Any work around for the early AM problem that I could take overnight? Ibuprophen has to be taken all

Oral Thrush from Inhaler use
so I was only diagnosed with asthma last year, and I started using a
clenil
modulite
inhaler. It was all good and fine for the first year, and then I got my first bout of oral thrush :( I have been using the max dose of my inhaler a lot and assumed that that was likely a part of the problem.

Diarrhea after 8th IMRT
Hello, We were told one of the side effects of radiation could be diarrhea. My husband has felt the effects after his last 2 treatments. I was reading that the use of strong probiotics like VSL #3 helped patients. Any thoughts on this issue? Did it go away after the first two weeks or did it get worse
