Bloody mucus in stool.
IBS was brought up also the possibility of hemorrhoids crossed my mind, my biggest fear is that it has something to do with

Life Expectancy
My father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer four years ago. Initially, he underwent radiation for a few spots on his ribs and immediately began ADT/Xtandi treatment for two years. His PSA dropped to 0.001, prompting his medical oncologist to recommend a medication vacation. For two years, he

Staring at my unopened bottle of Orgovyx
Well, D-day (or maybe O-day) has arrived (thank you FED-X). I'm about to do a swan dive into my battle against my PCa. After a week of searching for this stuff, my clinic found it in Louisville Kentucky at a pharmacy called Onco360. Not exactly a neighborhood corner market with me living on an island

Testosterone Recovery for 50% of Men
Here's an updated plot of Testosterone recovery time for 50% of men after stopping Lupron ADT, as a function of ADT duration. For ADT durations less than 20 months, the curve is basically linear with a slope = 1.0 (green line), meaning that the Recovery Time for 50% of men is roughly equal to the ADT

Understanding the Threat of Micrometastases (also known as Minimal Residual Disease) in Prostate Cancer or Don't sweat the small stuff
Greetings followers of FPC; It is time to set things straight in regards to the oligometastatic state in prostate caner. Posters will tell you that it does not exist because of micrometastases.

Did the Prostate Biopsy Pick Up What the MRI Missed? Or was it a Newer Developed Lesion
Back at the end of March (2024) I had an MRI which according to my urologist indicated 2 suspect areas he called "lesions." Two months later, at the end of May (2024), I had a prostate biopsy which after it was over, I was told (by assistant helping with procedure) there were 3 suspect

Results of MRI...
Hello, Just received call from hospital saying MRI shows diseases stabilised ( no progression) and the doctor is very happy with it. This is after 3 rounds Caelyx/ Carbo with small decrease of ca 125 from 595 to 515 last time. I don't know what to think... Was expecting and praying so hard for decrease

Odd Lesion
Anyone ever have a cancerous lesion just in tissue not connected to any organ. I have a lesion we are watching behind my left kidney. It has grown from 6mm to 9mm. I have another CT on the 10th. My Oncologist questions that it is actually breast cancer so not biopsied yet.
