Emotional lability and LT ADT
At certain times of extra stress, like awaiting a PSA test result, I have gotten into wrist-slap trouble by making awkward humor and remarks to Clinic staff. They get PO'ed and tattle to my MO. It's really not like me and the latest incident prompted me to look into ADT and emotional SE's. Bingo!

Insurance Rant
Sorry folks, I just need to sound off about the way insurance companies treat us in their medical screening. Generally I feel quite good, yes I have had challenges and times when I have been very poorly but today, this month I am pretty much cancer free and I feel like a survivor. But the insurance

No difference in SBRT vs conventionally fractionated radiation for intermediate risk patients

Insulin
Im reading about Insulin and diabetics are more prone to PCa. What's the consensus on insulin with peeps that already have PCa? Im now on insulin until I can stop L/Z/P, or change to another ADT.

Prostap/tibolone - regal study
Hi all, I'm 1 week into prostap and tibolone as part of the reval study and I'm not coping well. I dont want to be another horror story on the internet so to keep it brief my main concern is constant nausea (but I cant function) and worsened allergies (and I have a history of anaphylaxis as it is).

steel hardware in spine and ADT and Radiation
We are off to Mayo Phoenix tomorrow for three month post RARP check up. Not sure what will be suggested, but definitely looking for referrals to oncology and radiology oncology, due to his high/very high risk findings and pathology. He has two steel rods and 9 screws in his thoracic and lumbar spine

BCR May Not Be a Strong Surrogate End Point for Prostate Cancer Survival
A new study, below [1] & [2]. In 2004 I came across old studies that showed that ADT promotes changes to the androgen receptor [AR] environment. At diagnosis, the AR is invariably "wild type". When ADT failed, AR gene amplification was common. True mutations were rare. {This was sufficient for

ADT + darolutamide + docetaxel (ARASENS trial) has anyone tried it?
Hi people! My first update since the diagnosis. After less than one month of regrouping and ADT only (decapeptyl - triptotrelin, which got my PSA from 70 to 15), my MO decided to do the ARASENS trial triplet (with my full approval, I was going to propose him this protocol). Has anyone tried it?
