Radiation
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? I am faced with starting a six dose regimen of taxotere now since ADT does not seem to be working according to PSMA scans. My psa remains at 1.8 even though the

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.

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of radiotherapy accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment. I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that

Update re: My cancer and subsequent tinnitus.
This is a follow up from the success story I posted here last month. I wasn’t quite sure whether to post this update of sorts, even if it isn’t entirely a positive one, it isn’t to do with my tinnitus and this seemed like the best place for it. I am still “habituated” (whatever that means) to my new

K2 supplement
Having read on this forum that calcium/D3 is best supplemented with K2 to aid absorption, I've been taking it with my (prescribed) iCal D3 chewable tablets for some years. I had breast cancer in 2016 and was prescribed Letrozole, and as I had radiotherapy too, advised to take iCal and Alendronic Acid

Are you interested in helping with some research measuring the impact of radiotherapy?
What is the study about?
We want to understand how to best capture the health effects of being treated with radiotherapy. This will help us to understand whether we can use an existing health measurement tool (called ‘EQ5D’) in clinical practice. This survey is part of a larger study called

Aorto-caval lymph nodes
Has anyone had radiation treatment to the aorto-caval lymph nodes? I have mildly avid nodes there that are not responding to Lupron. My RO wants to treat the entire area, not just spot treat with Cyberknife. He seems confident he can safely treat the area.
