Still true that using same scan type is preferable to changing scan type?
Mr. Spouse 21, ten years since dx with Gleason 9 in 80% of cores, has only had bone and CT scans to track progression. That's how it was done in 2014. He's been stable since chemo with his current Eligard & Xgeva treatment--see full Profile for his record of Lupron, radiation, Zytiga (failed), Docetaxel

Sulforaphane to lower PSA?
Hi all, curious here if anyone onboard has had any positive PSA lowing results, (in the 40-60 mg doses), especially it is interesting in the Ultra-ranges, using ‘Sulforaphane’, a suppliment that uses the certain positive extracts of raw broccoli, there apparently are some good indicators of it being

Unexpected Dive in PSA
Was diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4+3) in June. PSA was initially 19.76 in April, went up to 21.78 in May to confirm first high PSA, retested again in August at 19.39. Started taking Orgovyx on 9/11 and began IMRT (37 fractions, 70-78gy to prostate, SIB boost to 85-90gy) on 9/28. Had my PSA checked again

advice for docetaxel
I have read several posts of those who have done docetaxel and done a little research on the Internet and YouTube to try to offset side effects. I am 51 years old and was diagnosed five years ago with advanced prostate cancer Gleason score 9 and a few spots to the bones. pelvic area, spine and ribs.

PSA testing comparison question
I know that PSA results can vary, particularly if processed by different labs. Knowing this, I do have a question. Quick recap, I completed 20 rounds of radiation at UCLA with Kishan back in April of this year. At the same time, I began 6 months of ADT. Over the past few months, while getting my

PSMA scans and radiation of oligometastases
I need some advice on a subject that I know has been covered before: PSMA scans and radiation of oligometastases. G4+5=9, RP in 2014. Positive margins, IMRT and ADT in 2015. PSA undetectable until 2019, now slowly rising at 0.40, doubling time 11 months. My questions/concerns about the scan

Confused by Decipher Test
Hi all, new here. I signed up to finish reading an article and then saw these posts in an email to me. What a great resource for men with prostate cancer. My PSA went up to 4.4 and then had an MRI which showed a two suspicious lesions (PI-RADS 4 and a PI-RAD 3). Had a biopsy 3 weeks ago and it showed

Biopsy results in 2 weeks - questions?
I've finally got an appointment to get the results of my prostate biopsy on Monday in 2 weeks time. It's taken quite a while. My PSA was 12 and an MRI scan showed a dodgy area on the front of the prostate. My PI-RADS score was 5. I was then booked for a biopsy which got deferred 3 times. I was told I

Progress - I think ....
HiApologies for the long post... Finally had a meaningful conversation with a GP at my practice (not my usual one but that didn't matter) & got results from CT scans. No blockages & 0 calcium so nothing to be alarmed about on that score. No further action required except to stop beta blockers. So

PSA moving way too fast .
My prostate was removed 2002 at which time my PSA went to -0 . Five years later it came back and since than it kept on going up very slow till 2020 when I had COVID-19 which almost killed me . As soo as I started feeling better my PSA went from 12 to 25 in a very short time . I do check it every six

liver biopsy- what does it mean.
Oncologist doctor ordered the biopsy last year but never really explained it. He only said that the cancer was caused by the prostate cancer. Which was a good sign. Immunohistochemical stains demonstrate tumor cells are positive for NKX3.1, PSA, TTF-1 and focally for CK20, while negative for CK7

Conflicting MRI vs PSMA scans
Well it appears that the radiologist who did my MRI was overly cautious. The report said I had a met on my left pelvis, one on my right pelvis, one on my sacrum, additional cancer in my prostate region and sclerotic foci in my pelvic region. Traumatic. We followed that up with a PSMA scan 10 days

https://youtu.be/poTcAm_rknw?si=9O_0hI3jjP0Mkz5c The headline is: If you have a psa over 1,(under 50y/o) or 1.5 (over 50y/o) demand routine psa tests to watch, despite the “standard clinical normal range” of 0-3.9. Something is wrong and it’s not ok to go home and think everything is ok. I had 3

PSA Test
Hello everybody Where can I find good information about the readings on PSA tests. As I have posted earlier, my husband had the prostate removed, developed a rezidiv after 5 years, was treated with Proton (based on Hydrogen) radiation in Heidelberg January this year. PSA went down from 0,8 to 0,3.

First of all, I've been an avid reader of this forum over the past 2 years, and wanted to express my gratitude towards the amount of knowledge everyone has been sharing on this site. My father (62 y.o., very healthy) was diagnosed with aggressive PCa (Gleason 9, PSA 58) in Sep 2021, and underwent RALP
