Dental Issues with Finesteride
I am 7 years post full gland HIFU surgery. Quality of life remains good. I've been off ADT all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems.

Flare
Thursday, my husband had his follow-up appointment with Oncologist. I was very alarmed at some of his blood test results. His PSA went up to 1600. Doctor said other blood work was to be expected. I researched surged in PSA and found this, The PSA flare is a well-known phenomenon. The post chemotherapy

xtandi failing?
In September last year my PSA was 0.06. Three months later PSA was 0.09. I asked my doctor if xtandi was failing. He told me not necessarily, once your PSA reached its lowest point, it tends to go up and down before it settles down. He told me they would check my PSA in six weeks, six weeks later

Docetaxel and Carboplatin

I have bone mets in my lower back and sacrum w periodic pain that’s controlled w pain meds. My oncologist is recommending a chemo concoction of Docetaxel

Rheumatoid Arthritis and pain across shoulders
My husband has RA and gets a lot of pain across the top of his shoulders. He also has osteoarthritis aswell, and has had both knees replaced. He is on tocilizumab infusions every four weeks. When he spoke to one of the RA doctors about it (not his favourite one!) he was told it was due to 'scar tissue

Jak2 now "Undetectable"
Hi I was diagnosed with Jak2 positive PV back in May 2019, after months of venesections I was put on Peginterferon in Nov 2019. The first year I was 0n 45mg which worked well, without the need for any venesections. Then my HCT started to creep up again. Over the coarse of 9-10 months they gradually

Right phrenic nerve paralysis
Path from RP showed extensive perineural involvement. No other risk factors for phrenic nerve paralysis. Haven't talked to MO yet, but sure concerned it's tumor invasion. PSA still <0.04.

Absolute newbie!
I’m starting C25k (with my very reluctant husband!) and I’m a bit nervous! I have osteoarthritis in my knees and I’m mildly asthmatic (use Ventolin inhaler very occasionally!) I cannot imagine being able to run (I walk a lot) how difficult has it been for people-honestly??! 🫣😁

options after Docetaxel
Hi- I have posted before concerning my brother’s prostate treatment. To give a brief overview- my brother was diagnosed in March 2021. He responded well to Abiraterone for 18 months. Once his PSA starting trending upwards he was put on several sessions of Docetaxel. Unfortunately at this time, he

My MO suspects that I am non-metastatic, castration resistant but will not approve any treatment until metastases develop.
Gleason 9 at diagnosis, BRACA 2 germline and somatic. RP five years ago but cancer escaped the capsule; PSA of around 2.5 after surgery. Had radiation to pelvic area a few months later along with Eligard injection. Renewed Eligard after 3 months and PSA went down to undetectable. T was close to zero

Back in permanent AF and warfarin dose decrease
Hi All, I used to have paroxysmal AF which was ablated by Prof Schilling back in 2010. I had been in NSR. However I was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in the summer. I had huge delays and postponements before I had a biopsy. I eventually got the results 5 weeks later (rather than the two weeks promised

early concerns/ paranoia
Feeling a bit guilty taking up space here before I have any real diagnosis. I’m 72 years old and my annual physical in November saw my PSA numbers double from 3.2 to 6.4 and then retested a month later they were 7. Sounds scary to me. My urologist ordered an in-home EXODX urine test 14 days ago which

Starting Chemo again, Cabazitaxel Has anybody experienced any side effects that have been unusually bad?
After having been NED for the past six years I now have to go back on Chemo treatments. The first round of Chemo was with Taxotere and now My Cancer has become castrate resistant. PSA is now no longer a good indicator for disease progression. I'm not looking forward to doing this but it's what has to

Radiation and diarrhea/ GI issues/ please help
looking for other experiences with radiation. My dad just went through -4.5 weeks of radiation. I believe it was standard radiation EBRT or IMRT not sure which. It was fine at first, no side effects. By week 4 the side effects started - diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, gas. He is so uncomfortable

Help! Prostate cancer spread to bladder.
Diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2017, confined to bones and lymph nodes. After chemotherapy, have had a great run on drugs, but a bladder neck incision last June confirmed that it had spread to my bladder, about 1cm poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma on the left side. The urologist seemed
