Got PSMA SCAN Results-Now What?

Pain management alternatives
“Things I learned along the way” … in the event this may help others, I thought I’d share … If you or your loved one is struggling a great deal with pain, you may want to consider 1) having a pain pump placed 2) acupuncture. As my Jeff’s pain became harder to manage with his drug regimen, we were referred

Biomarkers as Predictive Tools for Selection of Treatment
A good reference for the state of art in biomarkers...some good work is being done that may help the community of men in this group. Be forewarned; PSA of 4.0 is useless...the Dr in this presentation says; "Its one of the worst decision in Oncology." DO NOT wait for PSA to get this high...do not depend

Blood in the urine
Two months ago I noticed blood in my Urine. It only happened once but then in September, it happened again so my Urologist performed a cystoscopy in his office and saw some irritation in the bladder that may have been a result of the IMRT I had last year. . He ordered a CT scan of my groin area that

Traveling on a plane with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension
In February this year he was taken into
intensive
care
with a GI bleed and needed blood transfusions and was told he had portal hypertension. He had a follow up endoscopy 4 weeks later and the report said that he still had portal hypertension but no other complications on there.

Change in orgasm feeling after PCa treatment?
Gents, Curious: are you able to orgasm after PCa treatment? If so, is the feeling different than pre-treatment? How is it different? I had IMRT, ADT, and brachyboost. Definitely different for me pre/post- treatment. Sensation is not as intense now. Location of pleasure seems to be more concentrated

Medical Marijuania
I saw my Palliative Care doctor yesterday and she was very concerned about my 8 lb weight loss in one month. She has put me on medical marijuania to help boost my appetite. I can't stand looking at food let alone eating it. It is also to help my extreme pain from cancer in my spine. This is in addition

Palliative Care Easy Information:
I found this to be a really good read : Short and informative. I filled out the questionnaire and definitely qualify. I am going to pursue it with my oncologist. My pain management person has already suggested it. https://getpalliativecare.org/whatis/disease-types/breast-cancer-palliative-care

PET PSMA scan and low PSA and Lurpon
Will a PET PSMA scan still essentially function as well to find out where PC lesions exist if one's PSA is low say <1, because of Lupron? Lets say the PSA without Lupron might be a 10, (also no prostatectomy was ever performed.) My radiologist wants me to get the scan so I can then get set up for

Update on husband in intensive care
Update on husband, he has been moved to a Gastric ward yesterday. He is covered in so many bruises and pin pricks been told he lost 10 pints of blood and his veins had collapsed. It’s a miracle he’s pulled through and doctors are delighted with his progress so far. Managing to eat and drink. Just trying

Treatments for CRPS
I have asked my pain consultant about lidocaine or ketamine infusions before and she said they only did them in
intensive
care
(not for me). Has anyone ever had infusion treatments from the NHS for crps?

Heart attack whilst abroad
He’s still on an
intensive
care
ward 12 days later due to concerns about low blood pressure which they seem unable to regulate. When nurses tried to get him out of bed he fainted so they haven’t tried since I’m very concerned that they are taking so long to sort this out.

My husband was diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer in 4/06 Gleason 4+3=7 in 12/12 cores with 90 to 100% involvement of the tissue cores. His original clinical staging was T2c versus T3. PSA at that time was 6.4. -First treatment was brachytherapy and IMRT. Undetectable PSA never reached. -Recurrance
