Recently diagnosed lower left lobe cancer
I don't know the type of cancer yet. I had a bronchoscopy, but they were unable to get a tissue sample. I then I had a positive pet scan. I've seen my surgeon and am scheduled for late August ti to have a lower left lung lobectomy. I don't know the cancer type or stage at this point. I've been told

Dramatic change to palliative from treatable after 6 and a half years
Back at the start of the yhis year my PSA continued to rise: 670 > 900 > 1167> 1600 so we stopped the trial. I was anaemic and had low haemaglobin. I felt awful, weak, nautious and had 4 days in hospital for pain management. I hadn't had this before the trial but they said I have a fractured 4th lumbar

USPSTF Update 2024
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

rising PSA
My PSA started rising after 6 years of being undetectable. July 2023 , PSA 0.10 and July 2024 PSA 0.70 . I had a PSMA pet scan when my PSA hit 0.30 in November 2023 , scan did not show any cancer. I have another PSA test scheduled for early October; my doctor wants to wait until my PSA hits 1 before

PSMA PET Scan results
For those that asked, we received my dad's PSMA PET Scan results (full resultsin bio). We were devastated to see some bone metastasis was uncovered but knew this was likely due to his high PSA score (150) and Gleason score of 9. If anyone could provide any advice and or encouragement, that would be much

Zanda after Zytiga
Orgovyx and Zytiga brought my Gleason 9 cancer to a PSA of 0.67, but after 5 months my PSA has slowly risen to 1.59. Would it help to switch from Zytiga to Zanda? Poollover

Next treatment?
We just left the Oncologist office and not good news. PSA is still climbing. It went from 64 to 74 in 6 weeks. Hubby has been through XTANDI, Chemo, targeted radiation, RADIUM 223. Been on Eligard for 7 years. Oncologist would like him to go in a clinical trial at Princess Margaret hospital in Toronto

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

Some good news yesterday
I’m 66, dealing with PCa for 6 years, have had surgery and radiation 2x. Things were quiet for a year and a half. After a rapid rise in psa this spring, the docs at Duke put me on Lupron and Xtandi. The three month check up shows t level is down to 18, psa is 0.23, a decline of 96.5%. Thank God and
