RISING PSA
Just want to add. My last bone scan was September 2022, results were negative, no sign of cancer in bones. Last Prostate MRI was September 2022, was told cancer still contained in capsule.

Urinary Retention
Hello, my dad (age 61) was diagnosed with stage 4 (Gleason 9) with multiple bone metastases back in September of 2022. We have since found out he is also BRCA2 positive with a germline mutation. He has just completed round 6 of docetaxel yesterday. He has been complaining of difficulty urinating now

Gut is now at metaplasia stage and it's irreversible. Need advice, friends.
Hello, It has been some time since I last wrote so I will refresh your memories a bit. In a nutshell, I was diagnosed with autoimmune atrophic gastritis two years ago which caused PA and b12 deficiency. I take 1000 mcg B12 cyanocobalamin once daily but sometimes twice if I'm feeling poorly at the end

G68 PSMA vs Pylarify
If insurance covers both, at the same psa number which scan is more sensitive to locate bone metastases or soft tissue/ lymph node metastases. If there have been any comparison studies/ data please share. Thank you!

Gemzar nausea help
Gemzar really kills my appetite. The Thought of most food nauseates me. Here are a few ideas that have helped: Good n Plenty coated licorice candy settles my stomach better than Zofran. Plain crackers and peanut butter. Ginger ale with a splash of Aperol (the bitterness helps w nausea) Plain cereal

i am waiting to have laser surgery with general anaesthetic on a benign prostate problem shortly. I am successfully reducing my pred for PMR for the second time in 3 and half years from 10 to 7.5 currently and taking it very slowly. Do I follow the sick day rules when having this procedure and if so

PSA Doubling Time
I suspect there are many ways to calculate PSA ‘doubling time’ but I seem to have a bit of a head scratcher. Have had a prostatectomy, radiation, Zolodex and finished 8 months of degarelix end of Aug. By 25 Oct my PSA was 0.44. On 15 Dec it was 1.99 and 18 days later on 03 Jan it was 2.84. By my Oncologist

Here We Go Again.
I will try and keep this short. Some of you will remember my endless delays for a follow up cancer op. Well I got that op in December 22. I was sent for by consultant who apologised for the delays and said I had to go on BCG which is -Immunotherapy drugs encourage the body's immune system to

Supplement for strength and energy
My husband (79yo) has been declining more & more over the past several years. He had RALP 2014; RT 2016. Since 2028 radiation cystitis with gross hematuria has not given him a break. He's now getting HBOT treatments (40), finally. But has no strength or energy. Are there supplement drinks and/or

Wondering whether anyone else with fibromyalgia issues, has problems with incontinence?I have signals during the day to get to the loo successfully, but after a night in bed, I am bursting and rarely reach the loo safely! It's upsetting and extremely embarrassing! I practice my pelvic floor exercises

Docetaxel and gemzar together. Too much?
My soon-to-be 77-year-old husband is on a double regimen of chemotherapy. Before starting chemo for advanced prostate cancer, he underwent a PSMA Pet Scan. The scan showed a small node on his left kidney duct. It was decided to give him two infusions, docetaxel for prostate cancer, and gemzar to

Double desogestrel pill
Has anyone else been told to take two pills a day? My gynaecologist told me to try it over a month ago to try and reduce bleeding and pain. My pain has reduced but the bleeding hasn't. Has anyone else had this experience?

Living with PD and enlarged prostate.
I wonder if other PWP and Prostate problems have been advised how risky it is for us to have a TURP ( the operation to reduce the size of the prostate)?
