Recurrence?
My husband was diagnosed in 2017, with PSA 48.74 Gleason 8 (3+5), I think Stage T2a. We were told it was not operable, so he completed 42 rounds of direct radiation and then started Lupron shots every three months, the last dose was in September 2021 I think. All this brought PSA down to <0.06 but yesterday

PSA Question
I updated my husbands profile to show his PSA went from -- 2.08 in January to... 1.73 in February 1.77 in March 1.78 in April His next test is 6/6. It has never gotten lower than 1.24 back in December of 2022. Is it normal for some people to not have an extremely low PSA? He

Prednisone tapping
I was on Zytiga-Prednisone-Lupron for three months, SE horrible, mostly caused by Prednisone. I put in more than 30 pounds in this short period of time, couldn't sleep interrupted by extremely muscle cramps and feet twitching, high blood pressure (which I've never had in the past) All of this besides

CDK12
I am curious to know how treatments are going with the few men who harbor CDK12 mutations. My husband has this mutation. He is in year 6 from diagnosis. 2017 he had Prostate removed … Gleason 8… clear margins at time of surgery. 6 months later PSA began to rise. He was put on Casodex/Lupron and had 39

Odd ways of discovering you had PCa
I went to the doctor for a rash on my hands and feet. Doctor gave me a physical, and a battery of blood tests. Couldn't figure out why hands and feet getting raw. PSA returned as 9, had RALP the next month. Ironically rash disappeared after surgery. 9 months ago, rash came back, my PSA hit 0.2 then

Need advice- MO recommending radiation. From the wording in the PSMA scan it sounds like a shot in the dark.
Husband on Erleada since Jan 2022. PSA started rising in Jan.,, again in March (almost doubling in 3 mo). PSMA scan stated “Two foci suspicious for tumor deposits located superior to the prostate at the level of the seminal vesicles at midline and inferiorly within the prostate apex (screen capture

Xtandi vs. Biktarby advice needed.
After Zytiga-prednisone-lupron failed, mostly by overwhelming SE from the first two. I received my second Lupron injection last week even though there's a slight PSA increase from .83 to 1.10 (they did not do a testosterone test, wich was climbing again) Oncologist mentioned we could start Xtandi but

Back on ADT
Restarted ADT 3/15/23 with my Lupron shot followed quickly with Xtandi 160mg daily. My PSA peaked to 3.36 on 3/7/23 and then 4/3/23 1.65 5/1/23 .34 So hoping the trend continues downward. Not sure if a slow or quick drop is better on recurrence. My RO said, when asked, "lower is better". Its getting

Phase II 2020-0200 Clinical Trial
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed in May 2021 at 50 years old. PSA 426/Gleason 8. Had been on Abiraterone Acetate (AA) along with Lupron and Prednisone. My PSA dropped to 0.1 until recently I became castrate resistant. I was advised by my team at MD Anderson that my cancer was a strong variant type.

What types of food to eat with Nubeqa, to help protect the liver or other organs?
Is it advisable to eat certain types of food with the Nubeqa, in order to reduce the chances of liver damage and/or blood cell problems like Neutropenia? If someone takes a couple tbsp of EVOO before drinking alcohol, it decreases liver toxicity and intoxication/drunkiness. Would something like this
