PSA rise due to physical activity
My PSA has been rising slowly.. 4-5 points in 3 months. Until January when it went from 29 to 43 in one month. By end of February it was still at 43. I feel fine! Here is a quote from the National Library of Medicine: “Physical activity releases prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from the prostate

Concern about having more radiation to prostate after 43 external beam treatments 15 years ago
15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after PSA reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then. He was on 250mg of Zytiga with food and 5 mg Prednisone for 3 years until a year ago because PSA was creeping up & he was

CC260 selective PI5P4Kα and PI5P4Kβ inhibitor
Hii I was going through some article regarding prostate cancer and found that some CC260 , a drug that attacks PI5P4Kα is under research . Many cases of prostate cancer can be treated through treatments that lower testosterone and other male sex hormones, but about 10–20% of prostate cancer cases

Dad's PSA now 1800..nothing works..Is this the end??
Hey all, It pains me to write this as I'm probably scared to hear the truth. I've posted a few times, but this time, it's different. Dad was in hospital for a spinal cord compression - new activity on c3, new mets to spine and PSA soaring to 1800. Those dreaded words, "all options have been exhausted

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer
We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.) He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.) His PetScan shows some growth (

Zanu treatment
Hey y’all, Almost 3 weeks of Zanu. Bloodwork is “as expected “ for first line treatment, WBC 220 and Hemo 9. Feeling pretty good, most lymph node pain gone, more energy! Still have manageable side effects, diarrhea, nausea. Feeling really good about this treatment! Have a great day🤗

Eczema
Hi gang. Over the past several months I have developed quite bad eczema, mostly on my forearms and lower legs. It’s a real pain in the ass and beginning to get on my nerves!😬 I’ve always been prone to this condition but it’s sudden return and it being sited on the lower limbs is unusual. Does anybody

I’ve been pretty rubbish with compliance of my levothyroxine up until 12 months ago when I made a concerted effort to take every day. Since then I have had significant health problems but normal TSH and free T4. My symptoms have been allergic in nature with angioedema of the airway, hives and joint pain

Recommendation for gloves and socks?
Hi Guys, Further to my Post on the Lupus forum (link below) can I ask for recommendations for suitable super warm gloves and socks please? I spent a fortune on some silver lined socks and gloves and found them to be absolutely useless. My M&S bought socks are better than the extortionate silver lined

I persuaded my onc to start me on this new drug in April. Since starting I have had great results. My first set of labs was great, so we backed off the amount of drug due to diarrhea. I had one set back on my 2nd blood tests but adjusted my meds and am back to lower values on tumor markers. My

Stomach issues
Morning all, So I am just about at my wits end with chronic gastric reflux and chronic wind up and down without much smell. Sometimes I vomit with it, and now I can only eat jasmine rice and even struggle to get water down at the moment. My stomach feels like I have been beat up from the inside

new PSA
my PSA rose from .04 in Jan to now .21 so it’s moving up. I assume this is still too low for a scan to determine where pc is at. I was undetected for 2 years after radiation of pelvic area.

Healthy liver to Cirrhosis
Hello, approximately two years ago I was submitted to hospital with Jaundice after a binge drinking session. I was given an Ultrasound, and told that my results were “clear” and that my liver was normal sized and regular in outline. I was released the next day and given a prescription of Thymine .
