Thank you again to all who have replied about my husband's Feb diagnosis of stage 3b prostate cancer, gleason score of 8 and PSA of 10.5. He is seeing his Urologist for the Lupron shots and Casodex and a Radiation Oncologist for his Radiation treatments (5x/wk for 9 wks). Just wondering your opinion

New Data: Finasteride Safely Prevents Prostate Cancer'These Results Are Transformational,' Says Researcher May 20, 2018
But: "Who uses it today? Almost nobody." "We have answered the questions and closed the book." As reported in 2003, the risk for prostate cancer over the initial 7-year study period was 25% lower with finasteride than with placebo. That risk reduction now "goes out to 16 years, at least," (unlike ADT

My husband recently started Lupron and Casodex for stage 3b prostate cancer. Will begin 45 radiation treatments soon. Does anyone have any experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment and ..what has been your experience with side effects to the radiation treatment? Thank you.

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
