PSA
Initial treatment brought PSA from 1044 to 1.6. This month it had gone up to 2.4. He’s done upfront Docetaxel and is on Lupron and Casodex. What does a bump up mean? Is he castrate resistant now???

Weight loss - freaking out
My father lost almost 4kg in one month, with no change in diet, apetite or treatment, I'm freaking out. Of course I will make a doctors appointment the first thing tomorrow morning but I'm so scared. He is skinny by nature: only had 68kg, now to 64kg. History: diagnosed during turp procedure in Semptember

An Update To My Profile And Entering A New Phase In My Journey
I have just had my fourth Zoladex implant and this is a summary my progress since I posted my profile. After three months my PSA had dropped to 0.5 from its previous 1.0. I was having occasional blood in my urine but was told this should settle down. At six months my PSA was 0.4. I had begun to experience

Still Undetectable at 6 1/2 yrs..
tl;dr Xtandi is the new Casodex per my Doc The good news we got yesterday is I am still undetectable 6.5 years after diagnosis at Gleason 8. I am T3N1M0 (Stage 4A). Except for a vacation 1 year after my RP (very ugly pathology showing "particularly aggressive cancer) when my PSA showed a doubling time

Frightened Daughter Needs Advice
My 84-year-old father was just diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. He has multiple lesions in his bones as well as lymph nodes in the pelvic area. Psa is14. We were shocked to hear as it had been active surveillance for so long and urologist wasn’t concerned. He just recovered from having stents

Introducing Myself
Greetings everyone. I am a 70 year old guy living in coastal South Carolina, USA. From the time I was 50, I had a PSA annually with normal results except one case of prostatitis that was easily cured. In June 2015 I was hospitalized while on a fishing trip in FL with prostatitis and sepsis and released

Muscle atrophy
My father experiences muscle atrophy. His whole life he was skinny (he can eat whatever he liks but never gains weight), but had muscles. Now that summer is coming and he is wearing short sleaves, I noticed his arms and chest became very weak. He was diagnosed in September 2016 after TURP procedure

Low Iron in Blood
Father has Low iron blood levels and he went from 0.06 PSA to 0.08 PSA in the last 2-3 months. Doc says that it is not relevant as it is a low difference. He was diagnosed in december 2017 with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer N1( in two nodes) and 2-3 mets in pelvis.I say 2-3 because the first doctor said he

Anyone one on Erleada?
Results of Axumin PET scan: NO DETECTABLE PROSTATE METS. Due to a rising PSA MO starting me on Erleada. Is anyone on Erleada? Side Effects? I read the handout and it looks like side effects are more severe than Zytiga. Recap of my journey 1/1997: Diagnosed: PSA: 95, GS 4+3-7 9/1997 EBRT + Bracytherapy

Not good news for me today.
My visit with my oncologist today didn't bring me the good news we're always hoping for. My last scans revealed some new lymph nodes spots. Also a 4.1 centimeter mass on my liver. I just finished radiation beam treatment. Along with my daily zytiga and prednisone. At my initial diagnosis last August,

Prostate Cancer Stage 4 Metastasized
My PSA went from (3.8) 4/15 to (10.2) 12/16. From then it actually took 8 months to receive a Robotic Prostatectomy which found my Gleason to be a 9 with seminal vesicle invasion. Dec 8 2018 post Prostatectomy PSA 12/8/18 @ 0.6 - 01/08/18 @ 1.51 and again 02/14/18 @ 3.57. It is a horrible feeling. Jan
