I recently completed 23 radiation treatments of EBRT at Cedars Siani in LA for recurrent prostate Cancer. The cancer was in a lymph node near the prostate gland. My RO has informed me that we will check PSA in November to see if the treatments were successful. I mentioned doing a PSMA Pet Scan in addition

ELF score
My husband is a 44M, 6'1, 20.5 stone (was 21.5st, recently lost a stone in a couple of months). He'd been feeling off since beginning of the year. Began getting neck and shoulder pain, saying he must have slept wrong but it's happening far too frequently for that to be the case. I did a urine dipstick

low cortisol
hello, I’ve repeatedly had lowish 9am cortisol (around 250ish mark) but passed SST. However, private endo has said he wants to trial a low dose of hydrocortisone to see if it helps my symptoms of chronic fatigue, headaches, muscle aches etc. etc. I’m nervous to trial a steroid when I don’t have Addison

Adrenal glands and reflexology
I’ve just had an amazing experience at a reflexology appointment (on a holiday with my Mum). At the end of the session the therapist asked to look something up and then said ‘you’ve got a blockage in your adrenal glands’. I hadn’t mentioned anything about steroids or adrenals before and she said it

Regulated Induced Proximity Targeting Chimeras (RIPTAC) therapies are designed to target major solid tumours (as prostate and breast cancer)
My head is going to explode...ok, we also have RIPTACs now, I hope they work! Always been a fan of Halan Halda since I was a little kid watching M.A.S.H. (you will understand this "joke" later) Regulated Induced Proximity Targeting Chimera (RIPTAC) is a groundbreaking new technique to selectively target

Neuroendocrine cancer % in APC patients is not rare, it’s becoming common.
How do we help men, on this site, to reduce their chances of getting NEPC? I did a PSMA PET scan today. My blood tests looked pretty normal with psa at .5 and other tested looking like they usually do, except for blood glucose, which is normally in the 93-99 range for the past five years, but was 76

liver enzymes
I was overweight and drinking had high liver enzymes ast/alt ratio .5. I lost weight and stopped drinking enzymes returned to normal in 6-8 weeks. Was diagnosed with nafld as the probable cause. Does returning liver enzymes mean it is resolved

PSA low and Cancer Spreading
My Dad diagnosed September 11th 2023. PSA was highest at 3.71. He had 6 doses Doxetaxel that were completed in January of 2024. Currently taking Zytiga daily and lupron infections. PSA still 0.01. In June of this year the pain started really bothering him. Hard to walk. MRIs to both hips showed bone

Can PSMA-PET scan be used off label?
I have a friend who has had multiple MRIs and biopsies to locate his presumed prostate cancer. His PSA is high, around 20 but fluctuates and this has gone on for a number of years. He had antibiotic therapy but this did not make any difference. I was wondering if a doctor would prescribe a PET/ PSMA

Benzofuranylpropylaminopentane
BPAP was first described in 1999. There has been interest in BPAP for potential clinical use in humans, including in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and depression. There has also been interest in BPAP to help slow aging. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzofuranylpropylaminopentane

My next adventure.
Well guys, I had an MRi last Friday. They found a 2 inch complex mass attached to my left kidney. There is a 60% chance that it is malignant. I am being scheduled to meet with a surgeon. I'm scared of course. Anybody have any experience with this? If they remove it, should I just have the mass

"Undetectable"
We hear the term of "undetectable" with a psa of < .1 used so often. When I was first diagnosed and had an RALP I bought into the use of this theory. As the months clicked by and I was "undetectable" I was slowly gaining confidence and reassurance that this was true. Eight months later a .1 shattered

Seyfried press-pulse metabolic strategy for aggressive advanced prostate cancer
I'm writing on behalf of my brother who was diagnosed one year ago with stage four prostate cancer metastasized to the bones. His oncologist initially started him on anti-androgens and radiation with some positive initial results. In the past couple of months his numbers are going in the wrong direction

Why not remove prostate as 1st option (metastatic)
Hi guys, curious on the groups thoughts on this: If the prostate is the bugger that produces the cancer cells why do we not remove it EVEN if we are metastatic? I think i heard that one of the reasons is it is likely to cause us to not have erections but alot of victims don't have natural erections

My discussion with chatGPT about senescence in PC induced by radiation and chemotherapy.
Q. Can adt cause senescence? A. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) primarily aims to reduce or block male hormones like testosterone that fuel prostate cancer growth. While ADT can significantly shrink tumors and lead to remission in many cases, it does not directly cause cellular senescence. However
