Saxon clinical trial
Hello all, I was recently enrolled in the Saxon clinical trial combining Xofigo with SBRT. Is anyone else in that trial? Diagnosed with prostate Cancer July 2014, Gleason 7 (4+3) in 6 of 12 . After Radiation treatments my PSA was undetectable until July 2019. It rose to 3.9 in January 2020

Radiation after Docetaxel
My dad finished chemo Docetaxel in November 2023. In December his PSA was .61. In February it jumped to 2.3. He went for a PET scan. He went back to the doctor today his PSA jumped to 6. The scan showed that many of the metastasis in his bones shrunk are almost gone. There is one spot in his back that

my prostate cancer
Diagnosed in November 2022. Favorable intermediate with Gleason 6 & Gleason 7 (3+4), with 4 less than 5%, and low Decipher score. On AS. 13 months later, one year MRI showed “concerning” images, with irregular capsule (visible), and extra capsular extension probable (interpretation from radiologist).

are you taking vitamins / supplements, in conjunction with use of a prescription bone treatment?
let me know how it's going, and what you're using, please, thanks ... after all, the main trial for prolia had participants on daily calcium supplement with vitamin D.

How to take Calcium
I had a prostatectomy in 2014 for Gleason (4+3), salvage radiation in 2017, PSMA PET/CT January 2023 followed by Proton SBRT in April this year for mets on T10 and anal lymph node. I have been told to take daily 1000mg Calcium. Looking for guidance on the best type, other needed supplements to take

post radiation. Currently on ADT. PSA slight increase ?
Hey all, My father who started at 226PSA has finished radiation treatment about a year ago.: and remains on ADT. his PSA was sitting 0.03 but has jumped to 0.08. Is this any cause for concern? I took it as a positive as it sounds extremely low but now second guessing ..

2Nd Biopsy in 3+ years of Bone Met
Greetings All, A question about biopsies: Upon PC-stage 4 diagnosis per discovery of pc lesions causing spinal compression in 2020, my husband had a biopsy taken during his back surgery-which showed his already metastatic pc not to be an inherited condition. He went on to radiation of the spinal

Just finished my second Pluvicto round.
After the first round my PSA went down a couple of pts. After the second round it went up about 25 pts. Have not done any scan and I would rather wait until after the third round in mid April. I see no problem with this. Increase PSA can be the result of dying cancer cells, right SUV numbers in the 20s

PSA and Eligard and bicalutamide
My PSA keep rising. Today, PSA went up to 1.1 (Today-03/13/24) from 0.37 (January). Doctor told me to take another Eljgard injection next week. This is the 2nd time. Doctor asked me to stop taking bicalutamide and dutasteride, as they appear not to be effective any longer. He said I solely rely

Is there hope despite the pain? Is Cabometyx worth it?
My 63 year old husband LD stopped Cabo (Cabometyx) when we had Covid (because we took Paxlovid). Now he doesn't want to start up again because of side effects we believe are caused by the Cabo: jaw pain and numbness, body aches, tingling in extremities, pain in the shoulder joint emanating down his arm

Update and Feeling Kicked…..
Thank you to everyone who helped me with my last post on this board regarding DNR. I’m relieved to say that my father was released and is possibly back on track to regain some of the weight lost at hospital. Still waiting to hear if it’s lymphoma. As for me I am feeling kinda kicked down this week.

At what point for scan ?
Hi. Currently just had # 4 chemo. Live in Canada so PSMA has never been done . Bone scan and CT scan. I'm wondering at what point it would be good to get a scan ( they already said it would probably be a CT scan as that's all we have in my province and eventually another bone scan which He has to fly

MO recommendations at Mayo, Moffitt?
Hello - After 7 months of ADT (Lupron/abi) my MOs are not offering anything but continuation until my PSA fails, so I'd like to network more; so please let me know whom you think are the best at these two places. Thanks in advance.
