Update: post-radiation and New meds
Hello Friends and warriors! Dragonfly is updating the latestest treatment... Radiation to the sacrum and L5 (10 treatments) ended on Dec 4th but since then I've had a rollercoaster of side effects...mostly stiffness and muscle spasms that catch me unawares when I get up or sit down. I truly thought

How prostate cancer transforms into aggressive NEPC following treatment with anti-androgen therapy.
This could be a game changer as it could stop PCa from progressing. Science is going to save us. The development of effective anti-androgen therapies for prostate cancer is a major scientific advance. However, some men who receive these targeted treatments are more likely to develop a deadly treatment-resistant

SIB/Flame Protocol
The RO recommends Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) as part of my treatment. PSA was 19.76 (4/2023), then 21.78 (5/2023 to confirm initial PSA). He is concerned that the PSA does not match the Gleason score (4+3, grade 3) as PSA has surpassed 20. Multiplanar MRI and PSMA PET indicated no metastasis

protein supplements: yes or no?
Since I just finished Viewray Tx at UCLA, I’m moving on to the diet & exercise research zone. I’d like input on what the latest research, if any, is RE protein supplements. Whey isolate vs. vegan protein supp? Does either one promote or suppress PCa after Tx? Also, what’s the latest on eggs? It seems

Your thoughts on next course of action
First, I'd like to thank the many good folks that contribute this forum. Your inputs have been a life send to me over the past several years, especially Tall Allen who recommended UW Medicine where my MO and RO are located. They have been fantastic to work with. The short story - Diagnosed in 2018.

PLUVICTO
I finished 6 treatments of Pluvicto in May 2023 with negligible PSA readings. In August of 23 my PSA jumped to 2.3, my September 14 PSA is 16.8. It seems like Pluvicto is losing it's grip. I have an appointment with my oncologist on September 25. I am sure he will order a PSMA scan. I am curious as to

Feeling Anxious
I have Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) I am feeling very anxious and lonely this holiday season. I live alone in Los Angeles. My family is all back East in New York. My fiancé died and 2 BFF's friends died. My "so called" friends are not there for me. I really need more support.

Second opinion on Biopsy
I am scheduled for a second Biopsy and plan to get a second opinion. I read Dr. Epstein with John Hopkins is on indefinite leave. Should I just submit it to John Hopkins, or does anyone have any suggestions for a good place for a second opinion. Previously my biopsy was 7, 3+4, but recent MRI shows

Sufficient Investigation?
My brother is a bit of an ostrich, over his prostate problems. He ignored his poor urinary flow for years, and despite my repeated advice which he ignored, he subsequently had to be admitted to the emergency department due to significant obstruction. His GFR had fallen dangerously to 10. He was in
