Treatment after RP with affected lymph nodes
Hello! This is my first post to this forum, which I am following from some time ago, since I have some doubts about next steps of treatment of my advanced PC and would appreciate very much your help, in order to take best grounded decisions. My basic history on this matter is: • 2016: 58 years. PSA

Extracts from two papers on exercise and cancer. Paper 1 investigates the blood from 25 patients with mCRPC exercising. Paper 2 is a review.
The first paper indicates that a phase 3 trial INTERVAL-GAP4 is recruiting. I have not checked this. The patients used in this study were recruited to the INTERVAL-GAP4 trial (2016- 2020). I include the Abstract and the section about the exercise program used. I include the extract from the second paper

Acute, major depression after 3-month Lupron injection, from a new poster
I haven't posted my prostate cancer bio here yet but I intend to in the future. I had a prostatectomy along with my seminal vesicles and the left side lymph nodes proximal to the prostate. Gleason 4+3 N0. The cancer had escaped the prostate which could only partial be removed since it was microscopic

Effects of estradiol on bone in men undergoing ADT
Seems a long time coming. ("6-month randomised, placebo-controlled trial") "In men, many effects of
testosterone
(T) on the skeleton are thought to be mediated by
estradiol
(E2), but trial evidence is largely lacking."

Sudden PSA increase
Hoping for some insights around what might be going on here. Thanks in advance for taking a moment with your thoughts. I started ADT vacation after a 1-month lupron in February after 7 months of on-cycle. Since then my PSA has done this: Feb 2022 = 0.17 March 2022 = 0.06 April 2022 = 0.04 May 2022 =

6yrs on ADT (Firmagon )
I have been on firmagon for the past six years. My PSA stays around 1.1. My testosterone stays at about five. These numbers have been steady for the past six years and I asked my doctor many times if I should take a break. When they found my cancer it was in my pelvis bone with three mets .I also took

Prostap (Lupron) Effects
Diagnosed 11 years ago, I am T3b non-metastatic and have had one month of Bicalutamide and six months of Prostap (Lupron). Indeed my PSA has dropped dramatically and my testosterone is currently not in production mode. This is common treatment prior to IMRT. The effects have been quite severe. Apart

Hypogonadism & upgrading of low-risk PCa.
New meta-analysis below [1]. By now, the association of low testoterone with more serious PCa has been established IMO. (But I continue to post on such to counter the old "fuel on the fire" belief.) Upgrading means that the pathologist, after radical prostatectomy [RP], found more serious cancer than

Treatment Decision
MO has agreed to let me restart Lupron because of CT result showing size increase of couple of existing metastasis in lymph nodes and a new suspicious lymph node. But he wants me to take Bicalutamide for two weeks before that. Do I understand correctly that Bicalutamide prevents prostate cancer cells

2 days until test date, naughty and did one today!
Hi all I had my second cycle but first frozen embryo transfer 05 May, with test date to be 16 May.. I did the very silly thing and tested today (two lines eek, trying not to get ahead of my self). I know with my first cycle I strictly didn’t test due to trigger injection still being in my system, however

Need to make some decisions about an ADT holiday or adding a secondary agent. Please advise!
In 2010 at the age of 59, I had Da Vinci surgery with a Gleason 4+5=9 and PSA of 9. Post surgical biopsy showed all margins clear with no seminal vesicle involvement and Gleason post-op score was changed to a 4+3. Subsequent PSA was non-detectable as tested every three months. Five years after surgery

For those on or thinking about going on ADT short or long-term, I suggest you read through this comprehensive document in detail, so that you will understand the full nature of the challenge your body faces when deprived of Testosterone. The older you are, the greater will be the challenge. It covers

No More Orgovyx, Continuing with Abiraterone and Prednisone
My MO and I have just decided to try the methodology reported in the study titled: "Suppression of testosterone production using abiraterone acetate (AA) with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)". Here is a link to the study: https:

Progesterone Levels & Semen Analysis Results- Confused!
Hello lovely ladies🥰, I hope you're all doing OK. So last month my partner and I had some fertility tests done and after we saw the GP for results (NHS), we were left with more questions than answers. I had some basic bloods done- LH, Prolactin, Testosterone, FSH, TSH...ect all came back normal.
