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

Feels like torn muscle at 2mg of pred
Hello forum friends, I have had PMR for 2 and a half years, I am now 53 years old and am moderately active. I have been on the journey of ‘dead slow’ tapering from 2.5mg to 2mg over the last 4 weeks. I currently feel like I have a torn muscle in the top of my right arm. I don’t think I did anything

The Queen is ready!
Hi everyone. It has been a while but I'm still here just haven't had time to get on and make a post. My latest thing is a few weeks ago I found out my parathyroid is acting up so the doctor put me on cincalet to see if it will help me. He did mention that surgery may have to happen if it doesn't adjust

Von Hippel Lindau Syndrome
Hi APS friends- 2 years ago I underwent a partial nephrectomy to remove a large (2 inch in diameter) tumor in my kidney. Pathology showed that I have/had clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Throughout my life small tumors have been found in different places in my body, but all benign. I was

Home dialysis concerns
My husband was diagnosed with end stage renal failure in May 2024. He was going to a dialysis clinic 3 times a week for his treatments. Last week we started the home dialysis training process. As the caregiver I’m really nervous about this, afraid I may be able to do it or may harm my husband during

What clinic trials have been successful?
My husband's next oncologist appointment is tomorrow. PSA is at 74. It has been a roller coaster ride since March 2017. Prostate removed with many complications in hospital. Was there for 2 weeks, which should have been 2 days. Was weak for several months after. Follow up appointment 3 months later
