PSA Numbers and 3rd Round of Docetaxel
Hi all - so first an update. Had 3rd chemo session out of 6 yesterday and at least in my experience things are going really well all things considered. Lost hair on balls first then finally head and facial but elsewhere it is good. No issues with hand or feets. No nausea or fatigue. In fact I had

Hello all. Up to this point in my journey my treatment has been guided by a Urologist with SOC. I had a prostatectomy in December 2021 followed by above normal psa. A PSMA PET scan revealed several metastasis in lymph nodes. Started on Eligard and Aberaterone in February 2022 and 38 sessions of whole

PSA in lower range, yet PSMA PET SCAN shows diffuse bone Metastasis
Dear all , my father latest Total PSA level shows 6.24 which is down after touching 10.45. He was given one infusion of Docetaxel, however, he has been weaned off due to adverse reactions he has had, as his overall condition worsened and he had lot of prolonged mouth sores, with WBCs touching .08 and

Hello to everyone! I am concerned daughter of 76 years old father, looking for help. He was diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma, grade group 3, Gleason 4+3=7 in August this year. His PSA was 528, a month later 859. Multiple bone metastases (scull, shoulder, spone, pelvis…) found on bone scintygraphy

Sufficient Investigation?
My brother is a bit of an ostrich, over his prostate problems. He ignored his poor urinary flow for years, and despite my repeated advice which he ignored, he subsequently had to be admitted to the emergency department due to significant obstruction. His GFR had fallen dangerously to 10. He was in

Now what? Second go-around of docetaxel not responding.
I am 65 years old and was Diagnosed 8 years ago with stage 4 PC. Metastasis to hips, pelvis, ribs and many lymph nodes. Took 6 rounds of docetaxel followed by ongoing Lupron injections and then 3 years of Zytiga. PSA was driven down to 2.0 from 76 with 1st 6 rounds of docetaxel. Zytiga drove PSA down

Tumor Lysis Syndrome: What ( CLL ) Patients Need to Know (Leukemia and Lymphoma Society podcast)
Many of us are aware of the risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) when we commence treatment, particularly with venetoclax and that the purpose of the venetoclax ramp-up, is to reduce the risk of TLS occurring. TLS can also occur with other CLL treatments, especially when they are fast acting, rapidly killing

ART mpMRI Accuracy Detecting Serious PCa Revised Criteria for Biopsy

anyone had prostap without Tibolone?
Hi I’m nearly 5 months in on the 3monthly prostap ( for fibroid shrinkage and pre hysterectomy) .. I didn’t take the Tibolone due to my fears for the first 3 months , but tried it on a half dose for about a month when I started the second 3month injection . Then I hated the side effects and they made

ideal biochemistry monitoring
question: I know that there are protols for regular blood PSA and sometimes Testosterone when on SOC following RT and during the 2-3 years ADT (with localised high risk G9-10). My excellent ONC does a full biochemistry every 3 months with a face to face meeting which is great, but I will have to

PsA diagnose
I'm told I have PsA now and not PMR. On prednisone and MTX. 20 mg methotrexate and reducing prednisone down to now 14 mgIs having PsA mean that what I read on this forum for PMR not meaningful? This forum is so informative.

Intense jaw pain (pt.2)
Three months ago my husband developed intense right jaw pain. After multiple scans showing "something" (thankfully no PSMA activity) he had a surgical bone biopsy 11/29. Two days ago we received the pathology report but have not been able to speak with the Dr. to help us understand it. The good news

3,100 PSA!
After two (2) Pluvicto infusions, my PSA went from 2,000. to 3,000. I haven't had any hormone treatments for approximately six months, and was subsequently told my Dr. should have kept me on Standard of Care (SoC) right through Pluvicto. Q1: Anyone out there know of any options open to me in this

Testosterone issue.
I had a follow up visit with my PCP last month. Of course he knows about my advanced PC. He ordered a round of lab blood exams, as always. About a week later, I got a call from his office to tell me PCP is is concerned about low testosterone count<50 and wants to repeat lab exam, they told me come early

New Here. Overwhelmed.
48 yrs old. PSA Blood test from a physical came back with a reading of 100. Biopsy results came back with 2 Gleason 4+4's and the rest 4+3's earlier this week. Appointment with urologist Monday to discuss these results. I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared. What is the next step for me? Also does anyone

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports
