SOC options have run out, PSMA negative, declining health - what's next?
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

Serrapeptase
Has anyone used serrapeptase to help with inflammation and the development of urethra scar tissue after IMRT. I have read it is used in Europe to help alleviate pulmonary fibrosis, apparently it has fibrin dissolving properties.

CBC EVERY 2 WEEKS DURING IMRT
I've had 6 of 38 IMRT sessions so far. My RO is having a CBC done every 2 weeks, and my first one was today. Everything was normal except for 3 areas that were low. WBC is at 3.2 k u/L, Hemoglobin (Only) is 13.5 g/dL, and Hematocrit (Only) is 39.1%. I won't be meeting with my RO again until Wednesday

I've only got a couple of weeks left working in emergency before I trade it in for a while in neonatal
intensive
care
. Boy I must like a challenge. It'll be a very different ball game. In the meanwhile, I've had some annual leave, in part, because work thought I wasn't really well of late.

Looking for guidance
Hi all , just wondering if anyone has been told by their consultants/oncologis that thereās nothing much they can do , further chemotherapy its not going to make any difference to the outcome, youāre bascially at the end of live
care
and if whenever youāre going to end up in
intensive
care
or not breathing

DOES MEDICARE COVER DEXA SCANS FOR MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER
I have been on Casodex and Eligard since June 2022. My PSA was still high after RALP so I had a GA-68 PSMA PET Scan done which revealed one 11mm tumor in the Left pelvic Lymph Nodes and one 7mm Tumor in the Right pelvic Lymph Nodes. Those were the only 2 hot spots in my body. My Dr. scheduled me for

Heart attack whilst abroad
Heās still on an

*Sensitive* Heās finally here - but now we have to have him over to the surgeons š UPDATED
However, it is still very early days & he is currently in
intensive
care
an induced coma for his own safety (which is so upsetting to see š). So the next few days will be critical for him.

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?

T and PSA basically undetectable. Is adding testosterone or having a colonoscopy 3 years post treatment a good or bad idea for the elderly?
Cancer in late 2019 was G9 with no indication of escaping the capsule. PSA was <10. Treatment initially casodex followed by one session high dose brachy, 25 sessions IMRT and 18 months Lupron. Currently PSA undetectable and T still <2.5. Pushing through a regular exercise routine but have no energy

Good News-But Do I Belong Here?
Hello all. I comment/reply sometimes (usually about exercise), but create posts much less often. It's been awhile though, and something has come up that prompts this one, Quick recap: RP in June '19 and a subsequent clinical trial beginning Sept '19 due to positive lymph node and seminal vesicle invasion

NEXT STEP IMRT
Just wanted to give an update on my treatment. Everything seems to be tracking along the same lines as we have discussed. Wanted to thank Tall Allen for the information provided. It has really helped me in talking with my Cancer Team. Knowing what to expect and being able to actually discuss my treatment

Hallucinations
After my stay in critical
care
I was moved to
intensive
care
. When there I was pretty confused and saw things that just did not happen or real. Since I've been home I have really struggled to get over the mental side. My question is did this sort of thing happen to anyone else?
