BONE DENSITY TEST IS BAD
I am 68 with low volume metastatic to hip bones. Nothing elsewhere, at this time. Had PSA of 125 last April, and oncologist put me on Relogolix and Darolutemide. That along with going to plant based diet and adding weights and HITT exercise 3-4x per week, has brought me down to < .006. that’s the

Confusing CT scan results
My PSA has been rising slowly after prostate removal two years ago. Was at zero months after and slowly rising at .02,.03. .05, .06. .09 and then .13. My doctor ordered CT and bone scans. Bone scan came back clear and then CT scan showed a few things in bones and a nonspecific mass outside the liver

PLUVICTO.................
Getting ready for my 5th infusion of Pluvicto. The side effects usually ground me for two to three weeks, and i always say that i am through, and can't stand anymore. When i started, my PSA was 42 + a point. It went down to 22+ a point and as of today it is 10.6. I have been boarding my dog,

SOC & PSA
Three months post RT, my RO ordered a non-ultrasensitive PSA test with a lower limit of "<.1". I see posts of folks considering an increase from .02 to .06 a PSA doubling - obviously which would not be observable with my PSA test. This makes me wonder why: 1) Is there any good reason why an ultrasensitive

What's next?
As I've written before, my husband stopped all treatment and is receiving palliative care. Just got the results of his 3-mo. PSA and it's jumped from 40 to 91. Wondering if there's any way to know if/when symptoms will start appearing due to PCa's further or worsening spread? He experiences some pain

What does this mean?
In preparation for my six month follow up to radiation and two months since the end of 6 months of Lupron on Thursday I got my blood work results via the portal. For the first time ever I went to the portal for the lab and pulled up my results. Maybe I should not have done that. So I would like your

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
Do lymph nodes simply act as a temporary filter to prevent cancer from spreading too far? I was curious about this because I have 4th stage prostate cancer, and my Lymph had swelled to the size of a golfball. When I took the ADT, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared

Becoming mCRPC despite falling PSA
Hey guys, I got a question regarding my dad. He was diagnosed in summer 2022 with stage 4, Gleason 4+4, PSA of 122 and many osteoblastic bone metastases throughout the whole skeleton (very high volume) He did the triplet therapy, which lowered his PSA to 0.4 (January 2023). Scans afterwards stated

Recovery of Testosterone
We all have heard about how long it takes to recover testosterone after you stop ADT. You probably also heard how age affects recovery time. The older you are the longer it takes and the T may never recover. The type of ADT you take can also affect recovery time - shot versus pill. I am 78 and I have

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

Any treatment after Lu-177 (Pluvicto)?
I have metastatic prostate cancer and have taken two Pluvicto infusions, but my PSA has gone UP from 2,000 to 3,000. I understand this is the end of the line...unless anyone online has information on where to go from here. Frank.

Return of Armpit Odor - Yikes!!!
For almost two years, I (and others! 😃) have noticed the absence of male armpit odor. Attributable to full ADT (for metastatic PCa) and suppression of testosterone. (I'm on Triplet Therapy.) This morning I was surprised to notice odor for the first time since diagnosis. Due shortly for blood panel including

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

Age and timing for Triplet therapy?
I am age 81, active and neither fit nor frail, radiated in 2021 without hormone therapy. Radiated again in 2023 for a pelvic node. In December the PSA rose to 3.78 and a PSMA-PET scan showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, and spread to one abdominal node. I started ADT with

PSA Rising
Had surgery in November 2021. Gleason 4+3...Post surgery PSA was 0.01. Positive margin (1 millimetre). PSA has risen from 0.1 to 0.06 in 24 months. Doctor says I should do nothing. Until it hits 0.2. Next test is June 2024. Any advice will be appreciated.

Diagnosed in 2010 with advanced PC. Prostatectomy in 2011 followed by the "all clear". PSA refused to disappear and so RT followed. PSA still present and PC nodules found in my lung in 2021. I then had a 6 session course of chemotherapy and have been on Abiaterone and Demoxosone drugs ever since.Nodules
