PSA score 3 months after HDR Brachy & 25 IMRT
Thank you all for all the information you provide, truly a life-saver. First PSA test 3 months after treatment shows 1.54, last test prior to treatment was 4.87. Meeting with Doctor on 10/22 to discuss. Feels a little high, is this within expectations? Thank you all again!

CHC fast track
Hi, we were contacted a few days ago to say my Nan has been granted fast track CHC funding to have care at home. We were extremely greatful and happy to finally have some help. The carer started yesterday and is a live in carer. But we feel really disheartened and feel my Nan’s needs won’t be met with

Docetaxel and Options Thereafter (NHS)
Hi everyone. We were informed last week that Dad now has liver involvement as our oncologist suspected there would be as he didn't make a decision quickly enough on his next treatment when she informed him he was resistant. He has now started on Docetaxel and had his first infusion last week. The question

SBRT to surgical bed and WPRT (Excalibur Trial) vs IMRT
My long journey deciding on a treatment for BCR to surgical bed as noted on PSMA PET/CT and MRI 3/2021 with no metastasis noted has lead me to the decision for SRT, either SBRT or IMRT. I've been on Eligard since 3/2021 and PSA 0.1< and testosterone 21ng. I have consulted Mayo AZ (surgical bed only

Past the 3 week mark, small positives but no contact from any doctors or therapists, is that normal?
my daughters anoxic brain injury happened 3 weeks ago yesterday and currently she is breathing room air through a Swedish nose on her tracheostomy and they are saying about her moving from
intensive
care
onto a neuro ward when a bed becomes free.

Jeff’s PSA has been trending up since March. As of today, it dropped by 166! It was 476 and today he’s at 310! Woot woot! We saw the oncologist and bone biopsy results were back. Jeff does NOT have neuroendocrine or small cell!!! Additionally, his liver levels have been elevated the last 2 checks

Any Experiences with Palliative Care?
Any folks have experience with palliative care. I have had MBC for slightly over 5 years and currently taking Faslodex andt recently (4 months ago) added Ibrance. I've been given many painkillers from Tramadol to Oxy and even CBD and Medical Maraj. but all of them make my pain more intense. I'm miserable

2 years of ADT counting from end of IMRT versus first injection 6 months before?
To be clearer than my title of this question, my Urologist told me that he counts the 2 years of Eligard to start after my IMRT finished( August 2020) instead of March 2020 when I received my first injection. I was trying to process it and forgot to ask for further details. BTW, my PSA remains low at
