BEST PORT LOCATION FOR CHEMO?
I may be starting Chemo in a couple of weeks? Meeting with MO after latest PSMA PET Scan, showing probable Apalutamide/Lupron failure. After a 3 month rise from 0.1 to 0.6, he ordered a scan & hinted at Chemo next. Found resolution of old mets. but some new ones. At any rate, although I am 74, I

long awaited rheumy appointment
nearly a year, then appt just 15 minutes long…was booked as a 45 mins appt. Nobody went in before me, I was only one in waiting room, & I saw him go into his room 5 mins before my appt time. I then waited 35 minutes. He seemed angry because I’d been given a new patient appt when I’d been seen twice before

Looks like lutetium is next for me (if I can get it)
Finished 6 cycles of chemo with Carboplatin added. Scans show mixed results. mipsma 2. Dr. Kwon is suggesting lutetium to push the cancer off the edge of the cliff. He’s suggesting to have it sooner rather than later. I have low tumor load. And Mets to Lymph nodes in pelvic region and subclavical. My

Continuing Lupron
On July 17, 2022, my last ADT vacation was ended due to some progression of metastatic lymph node cancer in CT scan at a PSA of 1.1. My MO put me back on Lupron for six months hoping that PSA would drop to undetectable by the end of the six months. A month of Casodex 50 mg before the a Lupron shot brought

Alternative to Zytiga/Abiraterone?
My husband Jeff is 62 and was dx in Oct/22 with PSA=12, Gleason 9 (4+5), cancer in all cores, with SVI and ECE, but thankfully, the PSMA pet didn’t show any spread to nodes or bones/organs. He started Lupron in Nov/22, Abiraterone in Dec/22, and will start 8 weeks of IGRT next week. Recent blood work

Is the a standard/preferred course of treatment for mixed ductal PC (post- RALP, post recurrence in prostate bed, post radiation)?
Gleason 8, 3 mos post-prostatectomy PSMA showed spot in prostate bed, just finished radiation of pelvic bed, in month 4 of Lupron (2 years planned). No evidence of spread outside prostate bed; recent psa was 0.4 Oncologist is a swell guy, but I don’t sense he has a great depth of experience with ductal

Chemotherapy again?
I completed 6 cycles of Docetaxel in March 22, I had a CT scan on 1-15-23 and on the 16th my MO requested pre-approval for docetaxel and was approved. I am currently on Lupron and Zometa and wondering if I am jumping to conclusions that there must have been something on my CT scan that prompted the request

Halfway through chemo, new scans, seeking advice
Have now completed 4 of 6 Docetaxel/Carboplatin treatments and went to Mayo in Rochester for PSMA Pet scan (Ga-68, see results below). My PSA remains undetectable (<0.05), which, given my historically low PSA, is probably not the Most reliable indicator but I assume means the Lupron and Nubeqa might

Xofigo experience and thoughts requested
My husband, age 68, has been approved for Xofigo. He has 7 detectable bone metastasis, but had not experienced pain as yet. Gleason 9, PSA is 17 and trending upward, after 8 years on Lupron post PR and one year on Xtandi. I'd be interested in hearing about the experience of those who've done the Xofigo

What to do next?
At the end of a Lupron break in June my PSA was 1.1 and CT scan showed a new lymph node. I was put on six months of Lupron starting with a month of Casodex. The Casodex brought my PSA down to 0.452. After three months the Lupron brought my PSA down to 0.286. Three months later today, my PSA has slightly

Calling all BAT-men ...
(... that's you, Russ!) I am about to begin BAT with a new MO (who works in MA and NH), and am looking for some input from forum members. My MO has an existing contact at Johns Hopkins that he's consulted, but is not (yet) in direct contact with anyone from Denmeade's group so far as I know. A little

Apalutamide (Erleada) Only Lasted 6-7 Months! What Next?

Looking for suggestion of clinical trials for mCRPC
I have had SBRT (2007), Chemotherapy (2010/2011), ADT using Casodex/Lupron/Zytiga (2012-Current). Interested in joining trials that involve PARP inihibitors, immunotherapy, or other new/novel therapies. Can any of you suggest trials currently accepting candidates.

Hot flashes and Lupron
Hi All - I'm looking for advice in a rather special case - I've been on Lupron for a bit over a year, and on Ariraterone for about 8 months. Last month, my MO pulled me from Abiraterone because my blood pressure was out of control, and tripling the ARB that I am taking really did not seem like a great

Information please on next treatment options
My husband was diagnosed in Jan 2020 with stage 4 prostate cancer with bone metastasis. He is castrate-resistant. He is on Lupron every three months. Zytiga failed after about a year. He is now on his fourth chemo (cab) which the doctor thinks is not working. He mentioned four options that he thinks
