Rising PSA
I turned 87 just 3 days' ago. My QOL is still good: no pain, and a lot of physical activity. Fatigue is mostly annoying, but I generally can work through it. The issue is my concern with a slowly rising PSA. Today's blood test showed a PSA of 1.5. How concerned should I be, and are there steps to

Bisoporol instead of Tildiem
Hoping for some advice. My wife has HCM and has had an ablation a few years ago. Her Afib seemed to calm down but recently it has increased dramatically. The ablation was carried out in London and appointments were not too difficult to obtain. We now live in Gloucestershire and it seems that getting

High ALT, AST number in blood work
Hii all , Today my father got his latest blood report . PSA down to 2.96 from 7.95 (initially diagnosed at 79.5). PSA is gradually going down which i think may be a good sign . But in todays report ALT came at 102.8U/l and AST at 67.8 U/l . In last report 2 months back it was 27.3 and 23.8 respectively

Slowly rising PSA
Hello, now 1 year of Eligard and 8 months on Erleada. The 3 months shot of Eligard is what I hate most. It burns like hell when injected.So far the usual side effects like hotflashes, humor changes which might make my wife kill me one day (better than to die from PC), fatique which I ignore. Did 25 years

Lymph Node Irradiation for a Potential Cure
I have read that some men have been cured from earlier posts that I have read. Currently I have been on abiraterone and Lupron for 21 months. I only had one docetaxel, before catching pneumonia, so chemo was halted by my oncologist, stating the chemo would kill me before the cancer. The one chemo

hair loss
I was wondering what others experience has been with hair loss during docetaxel. I completed my 10th round on May 2. After my first five treatments, I didn’t really lose any hair, and then the last five it got thinner, but I still had a decent amount. Now, over a month since my last treatment I seem

Good day to all fellow warriors, I used to post as Arnie1970, but that account stopped working. After the initial scare of a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, a lot has happened. Four grand children were born( two boys, two girls). I stopped working, and we traveled a lot. Even though I stopped writing.

Looking for vitamin C infusions in Perth, Western Australia without glutathione?
Dear all Vitamin C infusions were tremendously helpful for my Dad in 2017 when he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and underwent a prostatectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Now trying to find them again. Those I have found include glutathione which I think is not good with cancer.

After Lupron I have been having seizures
Hi, In December 2023 I decided to finally undergo treatment for my prostate cancer, Gleason scale 6, with a high PSA of 63 (or 48 on another test) I had had this cancer for eight years WITHOUT it spreading. But doctors kept warning (I would almost say harassing) me, so... I underwent one shot of lupron

How do I update my bio?
My bio on Health Unlocked website needs updating. How do I do that? I can't seem to update my bio from 2023. I'm interested in adding PSAs and testosterone quarterly blood tests from 2023 and 2024. My good new is that my PSA has been 0.01 "nearly undetectable" for more than a year. My MO said don't

T never recovered after ADT and 44 EBRT sessions.
I had gleason 7 /3+4. Completed ADT and EBRT (44 sessions) November of 2020. Undetectable psa up until 6 months ago. Then went to 0.1. I had been taking Androgel ( 2 pumps daily) my MO declared that I was " out of remission" and I then stopped the TRT. Since then, I've had two psa tests at 3 month intervals

Anyone treated with enzalutamide +cabazitaxel?
Hi, I have stage4b with extensive bone mets. I've had sequentially ADT+abiraterone; docetaxel+carboplatin; Pluvicto. PSA never got below 3. Latest CT bone scan shows progression in a few areas. RO will zap the progressing areas locally. MO suggested cabazitaxel (1st choice) or enzalutamide (discouraged

Patient refuses abiraterone
From a very concerned daughter: My father was prescribed ADT, abiraterone, and prednisone. He started ADT earlier before the other two were added to the regimen, about one month ago. Since then, he has been experiencing a lot of side effects, including serious hot flashes, elevated blood pressure,

Surprising TRT research results in PCa patients
I’ve been researching the implications of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as it relates to the odds of biochemical recurrence with prostate cancer. I went down this path because my prostatectomy surgeon, who is very well respected in the field (200+ papers) and has performed over 5000 surgeries

PSA Rising and Falling during Chemo
I have been receiving chemotherapy since November 2023. Started with Docetaxel until it failed after 7 cycles. Switched to Cabazitaxel and currently on the 5th cycle. Since starting the Cabazitaxil my PSA has been raising and lowering. I am currently having some scans done to confirm if there is progression
