Optimal testing regimen
With a PCa with aggressive features (GS9,low-PSA,intraductal,BRCA2+) apparently senescent for the time being, I need an aggressive monitoring regimen. Shortly meeting a doctor at an oncology department, I will as the most important tests ask for the following four, preferably every two months (CTC

Muscle mass vs prostate cancer mortality
From this NIH study of 2,000 PCa patients who had RP, the 10-year overall survival stats for men with a psoas muscle mass in the top quartile (psoas goes from spine to femur) is approximately 90%. Cancer-specific survival is about 98%. From non-referenced studies and stats, the average age at diagnosis

Wow! Ejaculation again!
Dry orgasms, but not this morning!! After about a 2 hour session, best orgasm since pre-treatment and was surprised to have a good amount of nut butter come out. Kind of scared me to be truthful! Almost exactly 2 years since HDR Brachy, better than 1.5 years of EBRT, and about 9 months off the 18 month

Pain from Testosterone Shots
Sometimes, not always, when I inject testosterone in my thigh there is a delayed reaction a day or two later. The muscle which received the injection does not like being extended, and the center of the pain is a couple of inches below where the injection was made. It goes away in a day or two. I've

On buserelin again
Hi girlies, so we’re on round 2 day 5 of down reg. I feel absolutely fine 🥳. When we started back in May the buserelin killed me, the first 5 days were awful and I had every side effect! This time nothing, just a bit hungrier than normal. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m not complaining one bit

PSA Starting to Rise.
After 2 years of Firmagon/bicalutamide monthly and 1 year of PSA below 0.01 (lowest they measure in St. Louis) I went off in April. PSA rose to 0.01 in June and is 0.04 now. Should I worry? History: PSA 172 (10/17); Surgery (05/18); Radiation (spring 2019); Chemo (Fall 2019). Oncologist said undetectable

Increasing Muscle Mass
Hello all! I am writing for my husband. I heard that working out can increase energy, but does it stop the muscle loss? He is taking Abiraterone (Zytiga generic). I am aware that testosterone can temporarily be increased by weight lifting.. Please, share if you have found success with certain supplements
