Need advice.
Need advice. I had prostectomy in February of 2020, then radiation therapy a year later as PSA rose. Now PSA is 1.23 and the oncologist now is recommending beginning Lupron injections. Would welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks.

How long to Castrate Resistance: ADT+/- ARSI
Further discussion on details of EMBARK study on another HU forum bears restating here (IMO). For high risk BCR (and beyond) ADT combined with ARSI (in this case enzalutamide) is clearly superior to either monotherapy. However, development of castrate resistance between ADT + Enza vs. Enz monotherapy

ADT Holiday Coming To An End
After nearly 2 years of undetectable while on ADT holiday my 10/2 PSA result was 0.1. Today, 10/23 my PSA was .19. Seems like a rapid doubling time. Sent result to my MO. Waiting for a response.

Any difference between 6 month lupron or 6 month elegard injection?
Hi, I’m currently on 3 month lupron injection and doing well with PSA of >0.01 and asked my doctor if there is a 6 month injection. I’ve asked twice and twice he sent a prescription for Elegard instead of Lupron. Should I stay on Lupron? Is there any difference between the two?

4.7 PSA
Had my levels tested a year ago which was 3.2 and just last week they were tested again which shows 4.7. Considering my age my consultant thinks it's just inflammation but has ordered a MRI to have it checked. Is 4.7 any reason to be concerned?

Update
Just got my blood test results: Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and PSA still undetectable. Tomorrow I’ll receive my next 3-month Lupron shot, which will finalize my 24-month ADT after prostate bed and whole pelvic radiation. In the meantime I also had lymphoma and received four R-CHOP chemo cycles, two cycles

Blood test results - round 2
I posted three weeks ago requesting help interpreting blood tests I’d had done for thyroid and calcium. Thank you PMRpro for your help. I’ve since had my parathyroid hormone levels tested plus B12, iron, as I have been feeling excessively fatigued (ironically I’ve felt much better over the last few days

had 4 treatments of Pluvicto is not dropping PSA
My Husband has had 4 treatments of Pluvicto 6 weeks apart. The first treatment dropped my PSA by over 100 points; however, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th PSA climbed rapidly. My question is, Should he continue the treatment if it is not working for him?? Thank you, Concerned wife.

Long time reader / first time poster…
Hello all, Been on here for quite some time reading about other men’s stories but have yet to get in the trenches until now. Not sure why; maybe just reluctance to accept my situation, even though my “situation” has fully accepted me. It’s been a bumpy road. PSA 12.5 at diagnosis 11/2019. Been checking

Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare+Medicare Supplement
Greetings, A little background: I have had 2 insurance policies, Cigna through my employer and Medicare Advantage. I'm now unemployed so will not have Cigna. I'm considering changing my Medicare Advantage to Medicare (part A & B) plus a Medicare Supplement plan (through Cigna, Blue Cross, United,

1st Time posting. Need suggestions please.
My husband was diagnosed in Jul 2021 PSA 41 at the time, multiple mets in bones. n1b and m1b Gleason 4+3=7. I've been reading and trying to get as much info as possible from this website. Last Oct PSA shot up to 19. Xtandi started and he also gets the 3monthly Prostap injections. PSA went back down

Preparation for Chemo Second Time
Looking for information on tips to survive a second treatment of chemo. I will be starting 10 rounds of chemo soon. What should I do to help get through this again. I did 6 rounds at the beginning of diagnosis. I know about the ice gloves for the hands. Not sure they worked as I still have problems with

Now for something completely different
Monday, when you probably will see this post. Crack of dawn. I will be on my way to University Hospital London for a Radical Prostatectomy on Weds. Yes, I've had to learn a new lexicon of terms and medical knowledge. Whilst for the last few months I have been an observer of comments and post rather

Do low PSA-producing cells still rely on testosterone to grow?
Am curious to know what the folks here know about this question. If higher PSA cells are driven to near extinction by ADT, and if only low-PSA producing cells survive, are the latter still dependent on testosterone for survival? If not, what do they depend on to grow?

EMBARK Study: ADT vs Enzalutamide +/- ADT
Results of the EMBARK study was published this week (10/19/23) in NEJM. It compared high risk BCR PCa treated in 3 groups: Lupron ADT alone. Enzalutamide plus ADT. And Enzalutamide monotherapy. 5 year follow up for metastasis free survival. Results below. Interesting that Enza monotherapy (No ADT) was

Pluvicto
Recently had my third dose of Pluvicto, and the numbers are looking good. My PSA fell from about 90 to 35 after the first dose and to about 15 after the second. What they measure in the blood work has either been within the normal range or showing a positive trend. The scans show no new mets, a visible
