Prazosin - Game Changer?
BruceSF sent me this message and it looks like a game changer for those trying to prevent recurrence, to me: I’ve been taking Prazosin for 4 years since my radiation therapy, it is a drug that helps urinary flow (same family - alpha blocker - as Flomax) and lowers blood pressure and still have an

Was anyone not offered any treatment?
Hi, I often read here about what treatments people were offered and how they are finding the chemo and radiotherapy. My mum was diagnosed last year with stage 4 glioblastoma to the left side, whichever came completely out of the blue. She was a fit, healthy late 70's lady who was physically still good

Bruising - random, quite deep?
Hi all, just wondering if anyone else here has found they develop occasionally random, fairly deep bruises from time to time, in places where one hasn't (and often _couldn't_ have) bumped? It's faded quite a bit from yesterday when I suddenly noticed it but the picture shows the latest one I've noticed

Treatment Decision
I have been treating my lymph node metastatic prostate cancer ( about 10 abdominal and pelvic nodes) with Lupron since November 2018. Previous imaging were performed with PSA around 0.1 and were clean. On June 1, I had Xray, CT scan, and bone scan one year into ADT break. CT scan found enlarged lymph

New research article about cancer DNA damage repair.
It’s a genetic disease, and as such, understanding DNA repair mechanisms is critical to figuring out how cancer develops and how to prevent and treat it. While “DNA repair” may sound like an exclusively good thing, it actually isn’t. This is because the leading anti-cancer therapies, ionizing radiation

News on Pluvicto delayed production
As I was waiting to get my second Lu-177 dose yesterday, I asked one of the Dana Farber people involved with my trial what he knew about the Novartis delay in production. He said an FDA report had just been released, and I found the following with a quick search: https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/novartis-surprise-radiotherapy-production-halt-could-be-drawing-close

Number of radiation treatments for prostate cancer
I’m new here and recently diagnosed for prostate cancer. Focused on radiation therapy as likely treatment option. What are pros and cons of number of treatments when considering 5 treatments over two weeks versus 25 treatments over five weeks?

Once Hopeful Prostate Cancer Drug Fails Phase II Test
Does anyone have a list of the drugs that were fast tracked for PCa? Might be a good place to look for trials. "RV001 is an immuno-oncologic drug that presents to the immune system as an antigen. It works by stimulating the T-cells to spot and destroy cells that carry the RhoC protein, which is over-expressed

How to determine what is a normal PSA after radiation therapy?
As I understand it, when PCa is treated with radiation therapy, the theory is cancer cells are more vulnerable to radiation because they divide more rapidly than normal cells, and they do not repair damage from radiation, while normal cells can. The situation seems to be complicated if the person has
