How should I interpret this PSA reading?
Brief summary of my situation: Age 65. aPCa diagnosed 11-30-21. Gleason 9 - 10. PSA was relatively low -- 4.68. Currently on Eligard only, but plan to add Zytiga VERY soon and possibly/probably Docytosel. ************************************************************************************** My question

58yo, PSA @100, met to rib, on Casodex, stage 4. What are the chances? Need some thoughts on this.

Why are there so few PC medical specialists? Why is PC knowledge among medical decision makers (Urologists, MO's) seemingly so limited?
Two serious questions, since so many people have their lives on the line with PC: 1. Many men develop PC during their lives. Why are there so few doctors who specialize in PC? * I have advanced PC, and I have spoken with 5 doctors, including a second opinion at MD Anderson in Jacksonville, FL.

Pylarify PET Results
My PET scan results were worse than i could ever imagine with multiple lesions throughout the upper skeletal system. Since then I have seen 2 different MOs who agree on Eligard and Abiraterone, however one is suggesting Chemo as the third leg of treatment while the other feels we should wait until we

FYI, PEACE-1 recommendation validated by second opinion I received yesterday at MD Anderson, Jacksonville, FL
First, here is a current summary of my condition: * Age 65 * DX in late November, 2021 * Low PSA (4.68), High Gleason (9 - 10): 12 samples taken during biopsy and all 12 had either a 9 or 10 Gleason score. * Lymph nodes above and below the diaphragm "lit up" during PET SCAN in early December

My turn for advice
Diagnosed August 2018. Gleason 9, biopsy 12 of 12 positive. PSA was 38. Had external beam radiation and brachytherapy with 2 years lupron. PSA was undectable during this time. 6 months after stopping lupron the PSA went to 0.8. Now 6 months later it is 3.8. Got PET PSMA results back today with spread

Help with doctors and getting to a plan
In addition to my Gleason 9 and PSA of 18, I have a metastasis on the right pubic bone, discovered by a nm bone scan on Thursday, and am going for chest, ab, pelvic scan today to see if that is the only other site. I met with Dr Cheetham from Mt Sinai because I was waiting and waiting for appointments

13 year Battle with Stage 4 PC
This is a long post - patience is advised. My warrior husband passed away on Nov 19 after a 13 year battle with Prostate Cancer. He was originally diagnosed in 2008 with a Gleason of 3+4 and PSA of 35 at age 59. He had a radical prostatectomy followed by 34 radiation treatments. His PSA remained undetectable

Extreme pain in penis
I was dx with advanced PC two months ago. It is apparently aggressive, with bone scan, CT scan, and two MRI's indicating metastases at several sites on bones including pelvic area, and external to areas around prostate. No organs involved and apparently no lymph involvement. I had a Lupron shot and began

Zytiga vs Casodex with Eligard for intermediate risk stage T3a, PSMA negative cancer, post RP (5/21) initial PSA 0.4, currently 0.79
I am curious as to why MO is choosing zytiga over casodex even though there is no evidence of metastasis at this time? He is recommending 24 months of ADT and possibly radiation. My father has been reluctant to initiate further treatment but will likely be starting soon.

An Enigma
I have written a number of posts earlier detailing my 22 year journey since RP in 1999. The issue that I face is a high PSA(146) after Lupron, Casodex, Zytiga and Chemo ( Taxotere). I still receive an injection of Trelstar every 3 months and am currently taking the chemo drug Lynparza. Thankfully I have

Eight weeks into hospice. Strange experience.
I suppose I never had a great understanding of what hospice was all about. Just a short background. Prostate cancer for 18 years, approx 13 years at stage four. No surgery, instead 40+ rounds of radiation, Lupron, casodex, aberiteron, enzalutamide, three clinical trials, don’t remember how many rounds
