THC/ Cannabis having Curative Effects for PC???
Ran across this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7503992/ But is there any proof that THC helps to cure PC or lower PSA? I believe it’s used for pain relief, but are its benefits been proven beyond that? Thank you very much.

ADT for a year?
Had intermediate grade PC no spread, had SBRT. Three months out my Psa is .03. Am on Lupron for the fourth month out of a projected 12 month stint. Do docs ever say, six or nine months is enough? Testosterone at 6 right now.

After BCR and PSA Return: An Update on My Treatment Path
Hi Everyone, I realize it's been quite a while since I last shared an update on my journey. I thought it was high time to share how things have been going for me, especially considering the somewhat controversial path I decided to take in early 2022 following Biochemical Recurrence (BCR) and the early

Preparing for my Urologist Appointment re Increased PSA -- Including possible biopsy questions
I am preparing questions for my upcoming urologist appointment to discuss increased PSA. Any guidance that you veterans of these battles care to give would be appreciated. My total PSA is now 5.2 with 18.5% free. Eight months ago my PSA was 4.4. (21 months before that, 3.9.) An mpMRI six months ago

Slow pulse after ablation
My normal sinus pulse is 55 to 60 resting. Digoxin and flecanide have sent it even lower.Also meds are giving me all sorts of different rhythms and pauses. My cardiologist will do an ablation but says I may need a pacemaker after. Anyone with experience of bradycardia from drugs ?

Switching to Lupron?
I've been on Firmagon for two years. PSA undetectable (<.064), all scans negative. Will switching to a six month Lupron shot cause testosterone flare?

Can anyone Assist?
A couple of weeks ago, I partially read a lengthy and extremely interesting post explaining many aspects of PCa..., also the link between PSA and PCa and many other facts. I flagged the post to read later but for some reason the post has been deleted. Can anyone point me to this post as from what

Need help understanding Enzalutamide
I’m a wife of a PCa fella, 75 yrs old…married 53 yrs. I do all the research, then give info to him. He decides what he (we) will do with treatments. His history…diagnosed with biopsy in 2009…1 of 12 core samples with small amount of cancer. 3+3 with a PSA of 8. He decided to watch and wait. Reality

Firmagon vs. Lupron
PSA undetectable, all scans negative. On Firmagon every 28 days. The last two shots I've had bad reactions. Chills and no sleep the day of the shot and flu like symptons for a week or so. My question is this: Would it be risky to switch to a six month Lupron shot instead of monthly Firmagon shots? The

How high must the PSA levels be before cancer can be seen in a CT scan?
Following the end of my treatment (radiation, lupron, Zytiga, prednisone) with curative intent back in May, my PSA has risen from undetectable to 0.09. As discussed on another thread this is not alarming at this stage since I still have a prostate as I never had surgery to remove it. However I am

PSA 4.5, 9% free PSA, 65 yo
65 yo, in good health, active. I've had BPH and mild cessation incontinence ~2yrs. Semiannual PSA tests have been 2.2-3.8, very weak upward trend. MRI last April was neg. Latest reading was 4.5 ng/ml, free PSA 9%. First time urologist has mentioned free PSA. He recommends another MRI in April '24. Consensus

Paying it forward for folks whose partner is undergoing treatment.
Hi all, Almost two years ago my beloved husband and I received an unexpected diagnosis. With a PSA of 73, he was quickly and thoroughly scanned and biopsied to determine he has Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Many of you know that shock and horror. As the months have gone by and we rode this unfortunate

Prostate Cancer (stage IV) identified in January and Small Cell Carcinoma (Neuro endocrine) in liver in August. Any suggestions?
In January, my dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer (Acinar Adenocarcinoma Prostate) stage 4, with PSA of 687. PCa had reached bones but not other major organs. He was put on Abiraterone and Degarelix. In August, PSA test showed that PSA had dropped to 2.7 and there was decrease in size and PSMA avidity

Medication after pluvicto
I’ve had 5 infusions of Pluvicto. My PSA went down slightly and then went up to 20.5. I will find out later this week if I will get the 6th infusion. What meds, if any, has anyone in a similar situation received?

A very long 12 weeks and 2 days
Hi Everyone, I hope you’re all feeling okay, confident that you’re handling things and that you’ll speak out to someone if you’re not. Well, I bet you hoped you’d seen/heard the last of me (hope in a nice way 🤔). So I had my ablation 12 weeks & 2 days ago. It was 2 days after that my sore throat

ALP rise after SBRT?
Hi, has anyone had a rise in ALP after SBRT? My procedure was end of July with ALP of 84 now 103 6 weeks later. PSA rose as they said it might from .057 to .075 not concerned yet about that. Thank you.

Hey guys. Glad to find this group. 81 years old- Diagnosed 7 years ago with a Gleason 9 The Onc's finally scared me into having a radical but I refused to let them take my nerves. They told me I would be gone in 5 yrs. In retrospect wish I hadn't had the radical. Info and options were very hard to come
