Flomax Issue!
I was treated for aggressive Prostate Cancer in 2012 with ADT followed by two months of Radiation Treatment. (Gleas 9 and PSA 6) My recent PSA Test Result was 0.15. (6/21)I have been most fortunate to this point. A constant problem I have is Extreme Dry Mouth. I know Flomax can be a cause of this condition

Myhubby58 went to Dr today.. The Dr told him about a new trial that’s not even approved by FDA yet.. RU33 or something like that.. it is a type of radiation treatment to kill cancer cells, but what else does it kill .. I say no, just live out your life and do healthy regimen.. But Myhubby58 wants to

Can radiation cause kidney pain?
Started getting a sharp pain in my kidney and/or lower back a few hours after my radiation therapy today. Don't know if it is related to the therapy or not and I didn't find anything about this online but since we have pros here, I figured I'd ask the question here.

Adjuvant Radiation Therapy After Radical Prostatectomy Decreases All-Cause Mortality
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE In this study of 26,118 men with adverse pathology, the authors investigated the impact of adjuvant versus early salvage radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy. After a median of 8.16 years of follow-up, 8.06% of men had died, including 25.62% from prostate cancer. Adjuvant

Radiotherapy
Other active modules were found after pet scan. Have been offered radiotherapy instead of surgery as near blood vessels behind my right kidney. After speaking with me by phone stated I would need to attend hosp daily for five weeks to receive treatment which only takes a few min. I have been informed

6 Months Post Treatment Report
8 months post treatment at present. Had six month review with RO. Decided on SBRT due to surgical, erectile and urinary issues with RP. Prior abdominal surgery means DiVinci machine could not be used, and few doctors do a lot of open procedures. Used SBRT on a MRL machine (MRI guided radiation treatment

Bone scans can lie!
I had 3 bone scans in the last 18-months, the last one in May 2021, all negative. Then I had a PSMA scan on 2nd June, due to my rising PSMA, which went from < 0.1 when I stopped ADT to 3.2. It showed - "Bones: There are three or less osseous metastases (Oligo). -1.3 x 0.8 cm lesion with central lucency

SBRT or LDR Brachytherapy Treatment Options for 54 Year Old w/GG2 Diagnosis
Recently diagnosed in late January 2021 and am exploring treatment options. I turn 54 in August, and my urologist is concerned with radiation therapy at my age. We’ve discussed HIFU and TULSA-PRO as a possible alternatives to RP or RT. Meeting with an RO yesterday to get his perspective on SBRT as it

Follow up appointment
I have just just had my phone appointment with my Oncologist with the results from last month's CT scan. A lot of questions about my breathing, walking distances, if I had a cough and weight loss led me to the news that there was an increase of shadowing around the tumour. I was then asked if I was happy

Advice on when to start salvage RT
Hi all, I am in UK aged 56 and had PSA of 32 late 2014. After RP in Feb 2015, analysis slowed 3+4 T3aN0M0 with bladder neck invasion, negative margins. Initially PSA was undetectable, then 2.5 years later detectable PSA (moving up and down 0.03-0.06 since 2017). My latest reading is 0.076 and I am

Long-term overall survival of radical prostatectomy patients is often superior to the general population
New German study below [1]. An odd observation. Perhaps the lifestyle changes that men make after diagnosis really do make a difference? It is not surprising that the benefit would diminish with the seriousness of the cancer, but even the high-risk guys did slightly better than the life table. "A total
