Sclerosis due to cancer or treatment?
I recently developed sclerosis in my left hip area...painful to sit on a hard surface. PSMA tech wrote 'sclerosis developed consistent with treatment'. Oncologist seems unconcerned. I've read that sclerosis can sometime happen when ADT reduces tumor size, which means the bone has to adjust. The recent

2nd pBAT cycle results: AR upregulation? Double strand breaks? Darolutamide?
Started 2nd pBAT cycle on 4-22-24 with a PSA of 0.62 measured 2 days earlier. All 6 injections were 50 mg eod of T propionate with .625 mg letrozole every 5th day as an aromatase inhibitor. The hiT cycle was cut short by 2 injections because of a plan to SBRT treat a pelvic lymph node chain that lit

Next step options after lupron/zytiga failed
I have been on monthly Lupron for 7 years (starting in 2014) after the spread of prostate cancer to my bones following a prostatectomy in 2014. Lupron alone was very effective until December 2021. I then added Zytiga/Prednisone which had worked well. But current (June 2024) scans show substantial disease

Targeted Biopsy

Lupron Question
Received a 3 month Lupron injection last week. Can someone share how long it takes to feel the full effects of the medication ? I'm awaiting insurance approval for Xtandi but I should start this week. Will Xtandi make a big difference in how I feel ?

Phase 3 trial enrolling: MK-5684 Versus Alternative Abiraterone Acetate or Enzalutamide in participants with mCRPC
Previously Treated With Next-generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and Taxane-based Chemotherapy...which would be the case for people that did the triplet. It's the "old" ODM-208 molecule! https://uvahealth.com/clinicaltrials/phase-3-randomized-open-label-study-mk-5684-versus-alternative-abiraterone-acetate

Abiraterone dosage
This is somewhat related to my question concerning my elevated alt/ast levels that I asked about last week. Some of you mentioned that while on Abiraterone, you experienced a significant increase in those levels. My question here has to do with the proper dosage of Abiraterone. I'm currently taking

Hey all, I am waiting on a colonoscopy I have scheduled for June 27th due to some symptoms and have a question for you all. Did any of you that got a CRC diagnosis have a really low fecal calprotectin score? I have been worried (as we all are) about what will be found on this colonoscopy, but I had a

Enzalutamide Plus 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors for Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
Phase II trial exploring the combination of enzalutamide with five alpha-reductase inhibitors (ARIs) for castrate-sensitive prostate cancer. Driven by observations from geriatric oncology, the study seeks alternatives to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for older, frail men who struggle with its side

Medicare- under 65
Good Morning Everyone, I am under 65 and will be eligible for Medicare in a few short months. I never thought I would get a Medicare card at the age of 51. Anyone out there under the age of 65 (taking Ibrance and Letrozole with Zolodex injections) that would be willing to share the supplemental coverage
