Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

Emotional lability and LT ADT
At certain times of extra stress, like awaiting a PSA test result, I have gotten into wrist-slap trouble by making awkward humor and remarks to Clinic staff. They get PO'ed and tattle to my MO. It's really not like me and the latest incident prompted me to look into ADT and emotional SE's. Bingo!

Possible Cure
Hi, I was diagnosed initially 2 years ago as Stage 4 with mets to the bones. Low volume. Gleason 8-9, PSA less than 2 from the onset. I had radiation to the prostate only. After 2 years of Lupron/Zytiga, everything has shrunk or disappeared via PSMA PET. Everything has been good,(but with med

GS8 in one core Brachy boost and no HT
Six years ago I was diagnosed with PC. Only one core of 13 showed GS8 ie. 4mm in a 10mm core. I wasn't willing to undergo HT and fortunately that was optional at BCCA with my PSA of 5.2 and only one core with cancer. I had all the side effects like fatigue, frequent urinating and the worst being the

Feeling very hopeless at this point.
My husband was diagnosed in 2011 at age 52, gleason 8, 11 of 12 cores positive. We went for many many 2nd opinions, surgery or radiation? finally chose radiation as all doctors said it had spread already and would need radiation anyway after surgery. Treated with Snuffy Myers in Virginia until his

Need for Calcium supplements?
I have been on prednisolone for 10 months for PMR, recent flare at 7mg so now on 10mg until resolved. My Dexa scans show no significant bone loss, currently not taking any supplements. Should I commence them as still have some way to go on this journey!

CHAMP Trial/Small Cell Chemo Update
If you don’t feel like reading my bio, I’ll give a synopsis: My dad is only 53 with advanced metastatic PC that spread to his liver earlier this year. His PSA had been undetectable so it really threw us for a loop. My dad finished 6 sessions of carbo & etoposide chemo about 3 weeks ago. He is still randomly

Need Help with Next Gen ADT
I haven't updated my bio for awhile but I am still hormone sensitive MPCA. My PSA last month was undetectable. I had a bilateral orchiectomy in February but was also on Erleada which I stayed on until recently. So what's changed is that I also have Stage I Multiple Myeloma. Erleada and Xandti are

So unsure what to do...
Hello all. I am a 53 year old gay man and I have had raised PSA since 2020. My urologist performed a DRE and felt nothing and decided that we should watch the number and see what happens. 1 year later, the urologist decided to send me for an MRI and it showed no signs of cancer. Feeling relieved, I

At last I've come to a decision.
Hi all, Well after heaps of research and asking questions and discussing everything with my RO and Urologist about treatment for my 4+4 PSA 8 PCa, I have decided to go the path of EBRT and HT. Starts as soon as I get back from my trip to the USA in late November with the insertion of the barrier gel

Bisoprolol alternative to avoid cold extremities
Afternoon all, Despite 2 ablations my AFib episodes returned a year ago. Bisoprolol and flecainide seem to control it well, but I really struggled this winter with cold extremities. Despite plenty of layers, woollen socks, thick long skiing gloves I still have very cold fingers and toes. I tried
