How long should I continue with bicalutamide after radiotherapy?
I just completed 40 external beam IMRT treatments two weeks ago. I was Gleason 3 +4, negative bone and CT scans, and although my Decipher score was a disappointing 68, it forecast that with radiotherapy I have a 9% chance of metastasis in 10 years and a 12% chance of mortality in 15 years. Now age

treatment and insurance questions
gleason 4+3=7 (70% pattern 4) involving one core less than 0.5mm. PSA 5.2. Biopsy results confirmed by MRI. I am 64 years old and will be 65 in December. I have horrible insurance with very limited treatment options. I would like to delay treatment until I have Medicare (5 months). I have met with

Darolutimide as monotherapy
I know there has been a phase 2 trial (EORTC-GUCG 1532 trial) testing the efficacy of Darolutimide as monotherapy and was wondering if anyone outside of the trial has done this. The phase 2 triall seemed to show that it could be very effective in lowering PSA. Since it doesn't actually stop testosterone

On vacation!
Didn't think I would ever go on an ADT vacation. My new urologist thinks it would be a good idea since I have several SE from my MDS-RS with the worst being fatigue added to my ADT fatigue. Have been on Eligard after radiation for 3 yrs. with PSA undetectable. Am sure in my mind that the radiation

Anomaly PSA jump of more than 25%?
Have any of you had a PSA jump (NOT 'bounce' following treatment) that was NOT a sign of recurrence after later having a PSMA-PET to verify? I am not happy with husband's doctor as I pushed to have PSMA-PET done after this jump (before this last PSA there was 6 years of stable PSA following RT w/o ADT

Docetaxel Update
Hi Gents, I assume this is SOC. I always have a blood draw one day prior to my chemo infusion. Prior to starting Docetaxel, my PSA was 23.6; after 3 rounds, my PSA is 10.7; a decline of 12.9! Yes, the SE are BAD. I have lost all of my hair. My fingernails are discolored, lifting off and sore. I have

Dose titration for CRPC
Hi For those of us who question why we should recieve the Maximum Tolerated Dose as opposed to a Minimum Effective Dose, the work of the Moffitt among others is of great interest. In the following paper upward dose titration is of particular interest to me as I try to workout how to navigate my CRPC

Lupron only after 4.5+ years
I was diagnosed with multiple Mets in August 2018. Started Lupron Nov. 2018. Over the years PSA has bounced up and down from low of 0.5 in March 2021 to high of 1.4 in June 2020. Mostly stayed 0.6 to 0.9. Ended 2022 at .67, but last two readings were 1.01 in March and .98 two days ago. Never had RP,

Oncologist and prostate surgeon conflicting treatment
Dad 73yrs has recurrent PC. 5 pelvic lymph nodes with hormone sensitive PC detected via rising PSA after 1.5yrs at undetectable then psma scan confirmed it was now in pelvic lymph nodes. He had his prostate removed a few years before, negative margins and just unlucky. In September last year Oncologist

Are PSMA negative mets usually castrate resistant?
I had 2 clear PSMA-PETs (at a PSA of 2 & then 4) so Dr. Scholz recommended I get an FDG PET. Low and behold 3 decent sized mets showed up. In my subsequent research it seems like all the published articles describe the PSMA negative mets as being castrate resistant. Zytiga/Lupron was effective before

Value of LDH
I've been dealing with PCA 11 years and I've seen a number of doctors along the way but never have discussed or had my LDH tested. A young oncologist where I had my PSMA scan requested PSA, testosterone and LDH tests to go along with the scan. My LDH was at the low end of the "range" (but we still didn't

I have or had stage four prostate cancer in my lungs. PSA at 6.0. Started taking Taxomere and Lupron treatments.. my PSA levels went from 6 to 1 to 0.2. I still have three more treatments to go.. Hope this gives hope to people. The taxomere seems to work fairly well.

Question
Husband had 3-mo. blood work yesterday and I was checking for results on portal when I noticed MO had notation for 7/11 appointment: "Creatine (ISTAT) radiology to draw." Have no idea why it's there, seems like something to do with a scan, but she knows he can't tolerate scans and has refused them lately

Hello everyone...
It was in August 2022 that my primary care became alarmed after my PSA returned, and it was 77 plus, that I likewise became alarmed by the fact that I must deal with prostate cancer. As a result, I tried hormone therapy for six months and thought about killing myself if I did not die first from the
