More Heartache caused by MSA
She said they wouldn’t put him into
Intensive
care
as he probably wouldn’t come out . She also explained they would do all they could but wouldn’t do chest compressions as they would probably break his ribs which wouldn’t be fair on him and she didn’t foresee a good outcome from doing it anyway .

"Prostate cancer lives as it is born" question (Radiation resistance)
After reading this article years ago, I always wondered about my situation. My gleason is/way 4+3 (95% - 4) so basically gleason 8. My psa started to elevate in 2015 a a faster rate, when my PSA was at 10, I had IMRT and high dose brachytherapy. Two months later my PSA was down to 5, then I felt really

2nd radiation potential
Wondering if you can take another round of radiation? Had 80gy of pelvic and prostate bed rad 4 yrs ago. Latest PSMA scan shows several significant lymph nodes along each sidewall of pelvis. Been on systematic treatment Lupron for 2+ years. Could IMRT or Proton target just the large lymph nodes

5-alpha reductase inhibitors & the risk of hospitalization for COVID-19
Cox-regression and multivariable models did not show correlation between 5ARIs exposure and protection against
intensive
care
unit admission/death. Conclusions: Men exposed to 5ARIs might be less vulnerable to severe COVID-19, supporting its use in disease prophylaxis.

Good news - Stage IIIB
Hi all, just wanted to share good news. I have had clear scan results today after being diagnosed with Stage IIIB, non small cell, adenocarcinoma in 2014, aged 43. My prognosis at the time was poor and I was told I was inoperable, terminal and treatable with palliative care. Discussions were around

What Action Should I Take?
What I’ve been learning lately is leaving me uncertain of my path, both prescribed and my role. I seek the input and experience I know is here, which I’ve been most grateful for. After having competed a clinical trial in September for my 4+3 with ECE and SVI, 1 lymph node T3B disease after RP in 2019

Can prostate still bleed after Radiation Treatments (HDRBT and IMRT)?
I remember reading that prostate becomes hard as a rock once fried by HDRBT and IMRT, if this is accurate, can it still bleed? Does it shed any tissue or fiber that comes out through urination? Asking because in addition to having blood in my urine I urinated couple of good size of blood clots (almost

Tier 4 .. for most are we surprised?
Many are highly trained in
