My Father's Journey / Interest in High Dose Testoserone
Hi guys, I would like to share with you the journey that we have undergone through my Father’s PCa. My Father is 78, is asymptotic and still works everyday running his business. Even way back in 2002 my Father’s PSA was 19, but biopsies were always negative as were scans. Although we can assume

Lupron and antiandrogen monotherapy to avoid castrate resistant pc and increase survival and better quality of life

Medicare B not covering Keytruda
Greetings, I haven't posted before, but have been impressed by the courage and care shown by so many of you. I was diagnosed in 2007 (yeah, ten years ago) and had a robotic prostatectomy that November - they almost got it all. Gleason 5+4=9. Since then, I have failed salvage radiation, ADT, Casodex

IMAGING TO STAGE
Finished 44 treatments over 78 days. Hormone Lupron and Casodex. Gleason 6/7 with lymph node found on 3 tesla MRI. CT guided biopsy of node positive. So Stage III. 80 Centigray to prostate external beam and 60 to lymph node. PSA was only 7-8 pre treatment. Had I not had the MRI, I would be Stage IIb.

Should I Pay for Enzalutamide
I started ADT in May (my PSA had risen to 7.5 after IMRT in 2016). Unfortunately I am in the small group of me who have 'primary ADT resistance' and my PSA is now 21 after 6 months of ADT. Not a good look! I am seeing MO next week, chemo is likely. In the meantime, urologist has added Casodex to my

Xtandi/Enzalutamide & Curcumin/Turmeric

The War on Cancer, & Stem-like Cancer Cells.
New curcumin paper below [1]. It's been 46 years since Richard Nixon declared war on cancer. Each October, an enormous amount of money is collected for breast cancer-related purposes. Not all goes to BCa research, but a lot does. (Too bad about the other 'hormonal' cancers - ovarian, cervical, endometrial

Ibrance/Low neutrophils
I am also on
Faslodex
and get a monthly shot for my bones. The first month my white blood count went dangerously low. My doctor advised me to stay away from crowds, sick people, etc. I went on "house arrest" for one week till my "rest" week from Ibrance.

Laetrile /Vitamin B17 as one protocol to use with other protocols to fight prostate cancer
I have seen trials that are being used where they hit it hard with combinations of anti-cancer drugs, I using B17 as one of my protocols for fighting my cancer also with Hormone therapy ,casodex radiation and cannabis oil. I believe we should follow our doctors guidance but also be EDUCATED on other

New to the group, diagnosed in May '16
I'm glad to have found this group. I began feeling ill in early April '16 and was diagnosed with PC in late May '16 with a PSA of 3275, Gleason 9, at age 51. Did six rounds of Docetaxel plus Lupron and Casodex until PSA rose from 0.06 to 40ish in March '17. Now on Zytiga and had a PSA of 0.94 in September

Ibrance
Doctor gave two options. 1)continue on above and re-scan in two months or 2) change to
Faslodex
and continue Xgeva. I would prefer to give Ibrance a little longer but was wondering if any others out there have stayed on it after finding some mild progression? Hard decision!

Blood clots and blood in urine (no radiation)
My husband had a TURP 8/4/17 (in history below) but has not had any other surgery. Had second round of taxotere last week...next one in two weeks. He's had mild blood in urine since two days after first chemo. A few small clots. Onc says to keep an eye on it. He's away for business this week and just

No end to Docetaxel?
After a stage 4 diagnosis at end of July, MO immediately started me on lupron, short term casodex for the flair (now done), zometa for bones, and docetaxel for chemo. My initial PSA was 11.5 and mets had already spread extensively in spine. Now after chemo round four today, PSA is already down to 0.3
