When Should I Be Concerned About My PSA
Hello, all. In early 2020, I was treated with a combination of six months of bicalutamide 50mg, and HDR-BT. Because of COVID-19, I had to wait a year before I had my 1st. PSA after treatment. I've had a few bounces and even though I was told PSA bounces were to be expected, it's been about three years

Now what?
My husband was DX April 2021 MPc, Stage IV, PSA 335, BRACA2. Lupron, Erleada, Provenge, Lynparza (still on), Zytiga/Pred (still on). PSA rose from 2.64 Feb 2023 to 44 Sept 2023. Biggest jumps on the last three months, 10 to 44. He is approved for 177lu, but there are a lot of unsuccessful stories

PSA still low but cancer progressing
I've been on ADT plus Xtandi for about a year (see my profile) and my PSA has steadily reduced and stayed low. However, my latest CT scan shows that the tumours on my bones and lymph nodes are increasing in size and there are now a few small lesions appearing in my liver for the first time. Not the news

Just feeling down
Hi Group, To get to it, my PSA recently jumped back up about 60%. It’s now over 1600 after lowering to around 1000. . I’m just learning to manage radiation side effects - to the extent I can - and trying to move back into some “normal” or at least semi-stable state. Then last night my partner admitted

My scans showed spread but......
My scans showed no spread but Sept 1 my right nipple became very sensitive and a 2" diameter hardness formed around it. I applied Clio twice a day and today the hardened area is the size of a dime. The Clio I use is 5-chloro-7-iodoquinolin-8-ol). U of Maryland is the best source of cancer research that

Newly diagnosed
Hi everyone. I was recently diagnosed with non metastatic, but aggressive pc. My psa in March of this year was 8.2 and then 10.1 four months later, so rising quickly. Biopsy was done at end of August, which showed significant tumor development on the right side and a Gleason score of 4,5 or 5,4 in half

clioquinol + zinc
PSA 44 started clioquinol +zinc Aug 11. Aug 30 PSA 48 with severe UTI. U of Maryland says Clio + zinc kills cancer cells. They give two cases of prostate cancer terminated. I'm trying it.

PSA up to 150 on Olaprib, any insight on what’s next?
Hi all, my dads history is mostly in my profile but in short he started on Zytiga a year ago. Zytiga worked well but had major side effects and lead to a switch to Erleada. Erleada failed at the time shown in the picture with the orange circle and he switched to Olaprib by the time he got the PSA results

Radiation Interruption
Hi....all the best to your Dad. I have no idea if stopping radiation for a time would m after. I did 5 on 2 days off for 28 treatments. You did not mention any PSA or Gleason number. Not sure that would matter...but someone here might venture another opinion based on those numbers and If he is metastatic
