P-Afib from cancer treatment causes different part of heart to misfire.
Hello Everyone,So I was diagnosed with P-Afib nearly 7 years ago. Beta blockers were a disaster and made me exceedingly ill.....Once on a calcium channel blocker, Verapamil, things however settled down. At the time I was told Ablation isn't an option for me as it could be my heart is misfiring due to

Amar Kishan, MD, on Optimal Sequencing of ADT With RT in Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer
"For patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer, the optimal sequencing of short-term androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) when delivered with radiotherapy (RT) has been uncertain.

28 day versus 3 monthly Zoladex side effect -
I am wondering about the different side effects experienced by any others here on 28 day monthly goselerin (Zoladex) implants as opposed to the 3 monthly version. I have had 5 monthly implants and note that the fatigue and muscle aches seem to subside somewhat 2 and a bit weeks after the implant. It’

To treat or not to treat
In 2017 and 2019 I had SBRT to two bone metastases identified using a PSMA scan. No other sites were identified. By March 2020 this had caused my PSA to drop to virtually undetectable and I decided to come off ADT which I had been on (with some breaks) since April 2011 after RRP and RT to the prostate

My sct progress
Here's an update on my sct. I had my donor cells 31 Jan following 6 days radiotherapy and 5 days chemo. My neutrophils have crept up in the last 3 days to 1.15 which is good. However I am really down because of the nausea and am regretting my decision unless this improves

Duration of ADT needed with salvage radiation
6 months? 24 months? New data from the "Formula 509" trial shows that hormone intensification with adjuvant apalutamide+abiraterone+ADT for just 6 months with salvage radiation therapy (SRT) may be all that's needed: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2023/02/duration-of-adt-needed-with-salvage.html

Choose Capivasertib or 177Lu-PSMA-617 clinical trial or stick with ADT + radiation?
Hi Folks, My PSA is up to 49 from 24 last summer. After bone scan, CT scan indicated 3 sites of mets (2 on pelvis, 1 on L5, overall “low volume”). Otherwise feeling great, working out most days. 58. I was finally able to get in this month to see a Medical Oncologist. Starting on ADT next week. Meeting

Immunotherapy
Having had a lobectomy a few years ago on right lung, I now have 2 opacities on lower left lung. As there had only been one lesion seen on lower left lung I was offered radiotherapy. After last scan which showed another lesion adjacent to the first, I am told that 'radiotherapy is off the table'. At

Firmagon and PSA
Hello All I just wanted to drop in and share my recent progress towards HDR BT. I took my first Firmagon shot on January 9th and had hot flashes and cold clammy sweats two weeks later. Since then they have increased in frequency but I just step outside and the cold air takes care of them in seconds.

Well, as with all things in life, hindsight is 20-20. So it is with my experience with my IPP (inflatable penile prosthesis) after 2 1/2 years of PCa treatment. I was operated on in June, 2020, had IMRT RT Radiation treatment ending May, 2021 and finished a total of 21 months on ADT this past December
