Cystoscopy post salvage radiation
It's been 2 years since I completed salvage
IMRT
to surgical bed and pelvic lymph nodes. My MO recommended I have cystoscopy after reporting 3 very small clots during 1 week in urine (about size of crumbled picecs of corn flake).

"Pros and Cons of Various Forms of Radiation Therapy vs Radical Prostatectomy for Men in Their 50s"
My father is a prostate cancer survivor; he had brachytherapy 12 years ago, then experienced a recurrence at 78 and underwent intensity-modulated radiation therapy (
IMRT
) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). In July, I had an MRI-guided biopsy, during which 18 cores were taken.

ADT and Increased Blood Sugar
I was 19.76 PSA at diagnosis and chose
IMRT
as my treatment. Blood sugar levels are now consistently above normal (140 avg.). I have not been exercising, as my job and home obligations takes much of my time and energy recently.

Estrogen for Bone Health in PCa patient.
Treatment was conventional ADT using Firmagon for 4 months before RT using
IMRT
@78Gy over 39 sessions in Dec 2019. By Sep 2021 PSA started rising. Was advised Nubeqa as there was no spread visible on PSMA Pet CT scan. Preceding Nubeqa I had an orchidectomy.

Update on Treatment
Completed 3 sessions of Cyber knife (prostate) and 17 of 21 sessions of
IMRT
(whole Pelvic to deal with RSV and with any micro invasion of lymph nodes). (Should complete this week). Flomax was added to deal with any potential urinary flow issues due to radiation.

Fatiqued and wiped out feeling
Go for
IMRT
radiation in a couple weeks. My question is has anyone else had these reactions to these meds and if so what did you do about it?

Which Treatment for These Biopsy Results?
VMAT
IMRT
+ HT, VMAT
IMRT
without HT, possibly LDR Brachytherapy, Active Surveillance are the only treatments available to me in my neck of the woods. Which would you recommend given my stats. Was there anything I missed out or should clarify in the biopsy stats?

I'm happy to have advanced prostate cancer.
So,
IMRT
to those lymph nodes. I'm happy that I have a cancer that really has no overt symptoms.

Low Testosterone and value of continuing Hormone Therapy
I underwent 25
IMRT
sessions in Dec 2020. Upon completion of the
IMRT
my PSA and testosterone levels were acceptably low so I chose not to undergo further treatment at that time and as of Jan.2024 I am still off any treatments.

Does ADT work for Gleason 9?
About to start ADT for Gleason 9 (5+4) for locally advanced prostate cancer, followed by
IMRT
in 1-2 months. (Plan to ask about HDR boost).

Was hoping not to post again, but...
Had 39
IMRT
salvage radiation sessions. Just had my 3rd three month Lupron injection and take the 4 horse pills daily. Right now my PSA and testosterone are negligible as well.
