Does anyone else have a fave song for helping with the stress of having advanced PCa?
Especially during daily RT sessions with the big honking
IMRT
machine rotating around me. Tension exacerbated by knowing that PSMA-CT scan spine spots (3) were not going to be treated.

Will IMRT give some relief to very painful bone mets?
I want to ask if you have similar experience with having very painful mets and
IMRT
helped with those pains. Also, how many sessions will it take for the pains to get better? TIA

Tomotherapy side effects?
Have any of you experienced this;
IMRT
(targeted ) using CT and targeted to just tumors! Our understanding is that he would have better outcome and could possibly end all ADT, which would be contrary to MO SOC, any thoughts would be welcomed

Question on Genetic Testing, how much is too much?
No new med added. 1 wk of
IMRT
was done Nov. 22 with results on scans of Dec. 22 showing had grown slightly, all existing mets has remained stable. PSA has remained at <01 now for a little over a year, Prostate no longer enlarged. New scan 1/23 shows Sacrum met now stable.

Stuck between deciding on IMRT CONDENSED and SBRT with 4 months ORGOVXY- Have Jan 12th date to make decision for UCLA (meet with Dr. Kishan)
Johns) ,
All emphatically recommend
,
with no Spaceoar ( to make sure my EPE is
covered)
,
and with 4 month's of ORGOVXY .
Their main premise is that
IMRT
has the longer term DATA re: "BCFR" (failure rate) and for the time being holds up better.

I had a 12/22 .71 PSA, 6mo doubling time and PSMA confirmed 5mm met in right pelvic lymph node (after prior failure of RP and fossa
IMRT
to “cure”). I have been on Orgovyx for a month and start 28 sessions of
IMRT
to the pelvic lymph nodes with boost to known met next week.

Having real tought time with the "Comfortable Bladder Requirement of IMRT (same as SBRT -bladder wise)
I am having a real tough time with the "comfortable bladder" thing with
IMRT
(same as SBRT w regards the bladder). I have very small bladder and they want it 90% full (they'll take 75-80) .

Newly diagnosed Prostate Cancer
After a lot of reading my preference would be hormone treatment with radiation (EBRT or
IMRT
if avail). Does anyone have any radiation treatment experience with similar symptoms to mine?

Ring the bell day tomorrow!!
35 rounds of
IMRT

Comfortable Bladder Solution for IMRT & SBRT Figured Out- Hope it is Useful!
I have had now 11
IMRT
treatments at UCLA with Dr. KIshan and they have been terrific EXCEPT for the "comfortable full bladder issue" which was like waterboarding for the first couple of treatments... Here is the formula I developed for the "full bladder " issue and it has worked every time.

IMRT CONDENSED -4 Months ADT VS SBRT -4 Months ADT
They are split , one recommending
IMRT
with 4 months rather than SBRT alone. The other recommending SBRT with 4 months ADT.
RO says their is more long term data with
Condensed (20 treatments) than SBRT ... Other RO says get it over with in 5!

Looking for a good Urologist at UCLA or in Los Angeles Area
Had
IMRT
radiation treatment for oligometastatic about 10 years ago. PSA seems reasonably stable. But who knows. I am a recent arrival to Los Angeles. So who are some good prostate cancer urologists at UCLA that you can recommend? Or actually anyone in the Los Angeles area?

IPP Inflatable Penile Implant after PCa Treatment; When to Move on Implant Surgery
Calmer heads should have counselled me that either with single nerve sparing and/or with
IMRT
radiation I was never going to get a spontaneous erection again. That 'sit down' should have happened before I received
IMRT
.
