Pacemaker
I was in
intensive
care
until my Apixaban wore off and they implanted a pacemaker on Tuesday. I was told my heart was stopping for 10 seconds at a time. I am home now and feeling very reassured that my heart doesn't drop below 60bpm. I can now take my AF mess without worrying.

Rectal Bleeding 1 year after Radiation
From May through July 2020, I had 35 sessions of adjuvant IMRT (RP was in fall 2019). My RO told me to expect rectal bleeding after about 18 months. Since my last RO visit 3 months ago, I've been experiencing bleeding off/on, some fairly heavy, during bowel movements. Can anyone give advice or insight

Rising PSA despite salvage radiotherapy.
I have posted before but may be a short introduction helps. I am 71 yo and was dx of Gleason 6 back in May 2019 with PSA 10.5. Had my RARP in Toronto (Princess Margaret Hospital) in Oct 2019. I did not have lymph node exploration because the urologist did not feel that I needed it with Gleason 6. Pathology

Rising PSA
I have been a reader for a few months and decided to join the conversation. I listed details in my profile so will give a short summary here. RP May 2019. Post ADT and IMRT PSA rise from undetectable last September to 2.1 last month. At my request, urologist and RO are referring me to UCLA for PSMA

I'm 54, had RARP and IMRT, and am on the Eligard/Abiraterone regimen. My PSA has decreased from 340 to 0.63 over eight months. I've noticed that some people tend to have an immediate drop. Does the time to nadir indicate how long you will stay at this point before failure? I thought I had seen a

When does rising PSA require further treatment.
2010 robotic prostatectomy at City of Hope, 2018 IMRT 3 months ADT at Johns Hopkins. Last 6 PSA tests at 6 month intervals: .03, .04, .04, .05, .02 and last .05. If PSA continues to rise, when is further treatment recommended?
