Now my cancer is now under control, my wife no longer wants to be with me.
I was diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer, bladder and pelvis in late 2019. I went straight on Casodex and 2 years of Eligard shots. 9 rounds of Docetaxel, kidney stents and VMAT radiation therapy. Following my last PET scan, no new growth was evident and my PSA has been under 1.0 for the last

When to introduce ADT after RP failure
I'm progressing well on Triplet Therapy coming up 12 months after Chemo and comparing myself to my brothers situation.

Why are late effects services so thin on the ground and little known?
I help to run an online support group for people living with anal cancer. As we all have had pelvic radiotherapy, late effects of treatment are a frequent issue for discussion. A week or so ago a member was talking about the terrible late effects she has suffered from for about a year. I found the

I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment?

New bone met
I have a consult with radiation oncologist on Wednesday and wanted to ask if any of you have had very targeted radiation therapy to one small new spot on bone when your systemic treatment (Ibrance and Letrozole) is still working on other mets. I saw there is SBRT and IMRT. Are these appropriate options

Just been told I have two years to live.
Just been told I have two years to live. Male, age 73, Eligard injections, Abiraterone and Predisnone for four and a half years, some radiotherapy. PSA levels initially 69, brought down to 7 by Abiraterone. Suddenly stopped working. Went on Radium 233 trial. Never again, and it didn't work. Since then

Silicon Cock Rings and Blood In My Pee!
Do any of my fellow unfortunate PC travellers out there know if using a stretchy silicon cock ring could aggravate the post-RP scar tissue and radiation enhanced vascularity in my bladder neck/urethra so much so that I get blood in my urine. Been using fairly tight stretchy silicone rings for a few

Radiation induced lumbar plexopathy
As Hi Folks, So glad to see this website as I am finding it very difficult to find info. After 37 lots of radiotherapy for stage 4 prostate cancer Jan through March this year, I thought everything was going brilliantly until 3 months ago.
