Lower Platelet count after HDR Brachytherapy
I am 76 and have had a low platelet count for at least the past 30 years. My results had usually been in the 125,000 range, with 140,000 to 150,000 being the minimum value to be considered normal. I had HD Brachytherapy for prostate cancer in November 2021, and ever since then my platelet count has

Hello - I'm about to return to the Mayo for the first review since my previous visit last November. As I've reported here, my last major treatment was chemo with cabazitaxel at the Oncology Center in Nicosia, Cyprus, where I live. This was successful: PSA fell from 83 at the start of chemo to about 3

Some good news to start the day: Complete Response in First Patient Ever Treated with 2 Doses of Cu-67 SAR-bisPSMA at 8GBq...6 months
I have already written about this, but then he approached the 6 months mark, so... "The patient remains with undetectable levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) for almost 6 months, following the administration of the second dose of 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA. PSA is a marker used to assess clinical response

So the odds we all read about... are they true?
When my husband (age 52) was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer two and a half years ago, he was told the outlook was "grim." Everything we read told us once it moves to the bone (his has) then you're looking at months, not years, of life left. He had TEMPUS done, which was basically the oncologist

Anyone out there try the carnivore diet.
I have been on a low carb diet since my diagnosis back in March of 2023 . Eligard and Erleada have got my PSA down from 195 down to 0.01. I have been watching a lot of YouTube video's touting the health benefits of a carnivore diet. So far the only prostate diet person posting video's on YouTube that

Before I leave this wonderful group I'd like to pick your individual/collective brains. Since it's too late to help my husband, I'm looking for info that I can pass on to my son and 6 grandsons so they might better understand this awful cancer should they ever get it. I'm also providing a bit more info

"8mm sclerotic focus noted T12 vertebrae within left superior acetabulum"
MO ordered CT Abdomen/pelvis after having a couple blood clots in urine, no blood, about 4 mths ago with several quick sharp pains in bladder area daily since about that time (may be from straining to empty bladder when urinate or kegels). CT no issues noted other than the 8mm sclerotic focus in T12

Looking for medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
I was diagnosed one year ago with two very small tumors, one on each lobe. Gleason 6, grade group one. Less than 5% involvement in each tumor. Decipher of 0.28, which suggests low aggressiveness. PSA has remained 0.7 for a many years. Although I think Fox Chase Cancer center in Philadelphia is a fine

new drugs
I was on Eligard and Zytiga plus prednisone for about 4 years with tolerable side effects. Mostly medium fatigue. Got my PSA down to undetectable and my Mets invisible in scans after 4 years. I took a two-year break. Wonderful to be clear of the side effects and infusion. Testosterone and PSA gradually
