Abiraterone seems to be working
An update on my situation. To review, I now appear to be castrate resistant after about 6 1/2 years of being castrate sensitive. My MO put me on Abiraterone, along the existing Lupron. I had my MO appt and my PSA has fallen from 4.5 to 2 after about 7 weeks on Abi. This is my second iteration with Abi

Cortisol test
Result of morning cortisal test was 131 which is rubbish (range 102-535) and explains why I feel exhausted some days. Have been on 3mg for several weeks. Looks like it’s a Synacthen test next. Thanks PMRpro for the info on that. Is the experience ok anyone out there who’s had one?

My 80 year-old dad with MPCa, broke his leg and now seems to be giving up. Advice on best anti-anxiety meds desperately needed.
Dear PC family As you will see from my profile my dad in England has been on his prostate cancer journey for five years. He was doing well until March, still actively farming though fatigued, and was due to start Radium 223 in April. Sadly, he broke his leg on March 12 in a fall, was put in a full-leg

3mm nodule on Cardiac CT scan
On a Cardiac CT scan for my husband his internist (Not from MSK) found a nodule. This is what the impression said: "Stable 3 mm nodule in the left upper lobe, probably an impacted small airway or benign lymph node. Recommend follow-up per clinical/oncologic protocol in this patient with reported prostate

I think we knew this - PSMA-Pet superior to MRI
PSMA PET Beats MRI in Prostate Cancer Staging Study https://www.medpagetoday.com/hematologyoncology/prostatecancer/110931 The article is basically about using PSMA-PET to plan surgical procedures more accurately, but the study has a secondary result in - that PSMA-PET found a very significant percentage

PSA showing .014 - concerned?
I had RP 3/22, PSA went up to .095 3 months after. I started Orgovyx on 8/15/22 had radiation Jan & Feb 23 and started Abi 4/23. All my psa's have been 0 since 10/22. Now it is at .014. I see my oncologist next Tuesday but I don't want to wait for his answer. How bad of a sign is this? I'm guessing

Nicotine patches vs gum.
if you’re not aware, I’ve been experimenting with the nicotine patch. I found that it’s too much. I wonder if that why the trial failed. I found a couple pieces of gum, 3-4 a day as needed better. I will soon be off meds. They never really worked that good anyway. Nicotine works just as good if not

radiotherapy
Hi all. My husband is scheduled to have radiotherapy on Wednesday. This will hopefully stop, or at least slow down the cancer growing in his liver. He will also have radiotherapy on a hip bone which has started to cause some pain. Hopefully he will get some relief from this. I think that for now

Is it just me?
Wondering if anyone else isn't sold on the concept of taking a sledgehammer to the immune system to treat RRMS. I am looking forward to these meds finishing clinical trials: * Vidofludimus calcium [It's both anti-EBV and neuroprotective effect] (Link: https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com

Cramps
I have been having a few problems with my hands lately, stiffness etc which my GP originally put down to old age and arthritis, but just lately I have been getting cramp in my left hand which can be painful, do you think this could be due to arthritis or possibly something else?

b12 liver stores
Hi everyone, Just a quick question for those of us with PA. When we have b12 loading doses I have read this replenishes liver stores. Can anyone tell me does this b12 always successfully make it into the liver stores? I ask because my body does not reflect this. Loading doses did nothing to alleaviate

State 3 Breast Cancer
I discovered a lump in my breast early in April. Was sent for an ultrasound which was very suspicious. Biopsy revealed cancer. Oncololgist confirmed stage 3 metastic breast cancer. She put me on Anastrozole and when final tests came in started me on Ibrance 100. After two weeks my wbc was very low

Ultrasound/Biopsy show cirrhosis, but fibroscan score is 7.4
I’m somewhat perplexed… since my diagnosis I’ve been told I have cirrhosis, because of my biopsy and ultrasound results. A recent fibroscan score was 7.4, which is fibrosis. Although some parts of the fibroscan were as high as 8. Can someone explain this? My dr. was very vague in his explanation. Thank
