Experiencing possible neuropathy in my trunk
I had had 10 rounds of radiation to treat two spinal bone mets back in March. I am on Lupron (first shot was in March) and abiraterone and prednisone daily. PSA has plummeted and doing good. Prepping for chemo in May. This past Wednesday I started feeling some discomfort in my front and back. It's hard

6 pluvicto treatments completed in January 24
Treatments went well. My PMSA scans never showed improvements but my labs were good and I felt good. Psa decreased from 53 to 5.6 over 8 months. April bone scan shows progression. Mo says chemo again is next call. We are enjoying this time as still feeling good.

Following SOC here in BC Canada
I am currently at the CRPC stage of my disease. About 7 years since diagnosis. Started with ADT and Docetaxel. Was able to be castrate sensitive for 4.5 years. Tried to add Abiraterone and it failed after a couple of months. Had Radium 223 and it was okay but did nothing to the PSA. Cancer kept progressing

After Pluvicto #6 results
Finished my 6th and final Pluvicto and am now getting lab results. I see that somehow I neglected to put results after #5 -- may have been distracted by doctors freaking out that my kidney function was going down and my calcium shot up. My nuclear medicine doc made a judgement call to give me a full

chryotherapy
My local spa offers cryotherapy for arthritis. Has anyone tried this for RA and had any effect? I tried having a full body massage to help ease my aches but ended up hurting all over! A cold shower helps but I can’t spend all day in there. Does anyone have some good tips please ?

MRI prior to Radiation Treatments + HT
My PSA has risen over nearly 5.5 years since my prostatectomy from Undetectable to 0.3. I was referred to an RO who, after reviewing my test results and prior history, indicated that there were some "cells left behind" near the prostate bed, even though they tried to get at them unsuccessfully during

Starting the journey Interested in comments Gleason 5+4 Met to Lymph and Maybe ribs
I have just started this journey, and am deciding on treatments now. 60 years young with a Gleason 5+4 PSA hovering around 7. My PSMA PET showed one lymph near pelvis for sure, and possibly a rib neat top on left side. My medical oncologist ordered a bone scan, which showed nothing on the left side

Waiting for Mr. T
I had an interesting development this week in my PCa journey. I went in for my quarterly hospital visit, which would normally include blood tests, meeting with my medical oncologist, and my last 3-month injection of Eligard. Blood tests were great, PSA and testosterone still undetectable. My MO decided

Update recent PSMA
Docs did it to me again with the usual bad news. Uptake in new lymph node locations in pelvis. the radiotherapy failed, and preclude more treatment on new nodal areas. (according to Docs.) So expect to add to ADT, abi or enza or darolutamide in a short while, with PSA going up on a fast double.

Success stories
Hello I was diagnosed with Gleason 3+4 in January and had surgery - clear margins and clear lymph nodes but worried and have a lot of anxiety about recurrence. Any success stories out there? Please share as I am so scared of my first PSA test in a few weeks. Thanks

PSA going down, but ALP increasing
I'm 3 weeks into a clinical trial for ARV-766, an AR degrader. At 2 weeks, my PSA had dropped from 133 to 66! Bone pain is much less. All my liver numbers are fine, but alkaline phosphatase has gone from 199 when I started to 429 at two weeks and 519 at three weeks. Doc thinks may just be a surge, but

PSA was 0.5
and I injected 50 mg eod of T propionate and .625 mg of letrozole every 3rd day to inhibit conversion of T to E2. Here are my blood test results during the cycle followed by a couple of questions:
