New to the prostate cancer community
I am 76 years old and recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. A rise in PSA from 5.4 to 7.4 plus a bump felt on my prostate led to an MRI scan. That showed a 2.5x2 cm PIRADS 5 area on right side and smaller PIRADS 3 on the left. A biopsy with 20 samples, 12 random and 4 each of the two areas found

Pulmonary function test tomorrow...
The pulmonary function test I had just before I was admitted to the
intensive
care
was 56% lung capacity. I am kind of nervous. Having a lot of trouble breathing lately, even while just getting dressed these days.

Linking CFS mechanisms to failure to recover in intensive care
This important paper carefully describes the linkages between the reasons for failure to recover in ICU patients, and CFS. It brings in thyroid problems among many others. Downloadable.
Hypothesis: Mechanisms That Prevent Recovery in Prolonged ICU Patients Also Underlie Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Hmm... So in 2/20 my RO says I'm "cured", however, my MO butts in and declares...not so fast Bozo!!
After HDR Brachy and 25 days of IMRT (2019), RO does a brief DRE, looks me in the eye and states " you are not going to die from APC"! GREAT!! No more Lupron and I can taper off Z and P!! Well, MO reminds me that I still meet 2/3 of the Stampede Trial criteria (G9 and PSA>20. My high was 28) and he

Change in PSA testing method
Previous testing was centaur chemilumisometric immunoassay with PSA of 0.31. Fifteen weeks later, the new method is ECLIA with PSA of 0.63. I'm been tracking the failure of RP and IMRT with rising PSA and plan to independently schedule PSMA in Europe. My UO has me waiting, doing nothing. What does

Michael Rosen, Patron of Thyroid UK, has written a new book!
Michael was hospitalized and spent 47 days in
intensive
care
and wrote a book about his experiences. The book contains very moving diaries written by the nursing staff and doctors who looked after him, and his wife, Emma, whilst he was in a six week coma.

Trimodal Therapy
G9, PSA13 no met. Tolerating Zoladex ok. Start IMRT July to include pelvis and lymph nodes. Followed by LD brachy based on confirmatory TRUS. I can see no advantage to SBRT over IMRT? Clinic does not do MRI !! (Canada healthcare system). I will get privately and provide for OAR boundary definition. Dr

Treatment end
So yesterday was advised that scan shows progression in the lung and a liver met. Treatment is not helping so discontinued. Carry on now with palliative care. In some ways I’m relieved but also feeling a bit lost.

Terrific CT Scan Results
Mets diagnosed in May of 2020 after full week in
intensive
care
to clean up my lungs. Now on Verzenio, Zometa, Faslodex, Enocrit. Went for a CT Scan last Friday. Results in my account almost immediately, and also given to me by my onc on Monday. This was my best CT report EVER.

Struggling to be positive
At home with Stage 4 NSCLC with brain mets. Palliative care only. At first I was ok just trying to make the most of each day but finding it harder and harder to do this. Thinking about how long I’ve got , how fast I’ll deteriorate and how death will be Don’t know how to lift myself out of this
