How many treatments of Chemo can the body handle
I have had 7 cycles of docetaxel and 3 of cabazitaxel. The oncologist wants to continue with another 7 cycles of cabazitaxel. My question is how much of this poison can the body handle. Does this chemo destroy things permanently in the body. I know that the fatigue is taking over. I couldn't run

Kindly seeking advice about my options
I'm metastatic HSPCa on Lupron/Erleada over two years now. Three periaortic lymph nodes and two ribs lesions. Sooner or later, I will go metastatic HRPCa (average about 3 years to become hormone resistant). So, my question is what kind of treatment coming next Thanks for your input

PSA Testing Scandal Repost
This was my first post two years ago. It was about the scandal of my diagnosis. I don't think much has changed. Basically PSA testing is a good thing. https://healthunlocked.com/advanced-prostate-cancer/posts/148930895/psa-testing-scandal-lost-years-of-life-updated-re-qol [i]Posted later - please see

Chronic sinus issues
I’m currently on an Xtandi, Zometa and Lupron treatment plan. Could there be a correlation between one of these drugs and chronic sinus stuffiness? I also take a cholesterol drug and 3 different blood pressure meds. Thanks in advance if anyone has information. My Best Jim

Will Existing Drugs Stop Cancer's Bone Spread? I don't know but it's driving me crazy!
Just because I cannot know which are the two repurposed drugs that seem to have such great results with metastasis. The chief researcher is Neta Erez who has great reputation in research about bone metastasis. I am inclined to think about Ivermectin as one of the possible components of the cocktail,

Is Orgovyx as effective as Lupron/Degarelix ?
My Dad , 83 , with bone mets has started bicalutamide since a week and is soon to take the Lupron shot. But he has a fear of injections as many years back he has developed an abscess due to an injection wrongly given. Is orgovyx as effective as the injections in reducing testesterone ? One doctor

Lupron - are there heart risks?
My father , 83 , recently got diagnosed with Prostate cancer with mets to some bones , as per PSMA test. We have not done a biopsy as one doctor said there is no need to do it as treatment options won’t change but another doctor says it’s good to do it in case later down the line we need to add treatments

PSA is back
I was 51 yr old diagnosed with Prostate cancer state 1 with a PSA 4.7. Gleasons mixed of 3+3's and 3+4's.I had robotic prostatectomy. Psa was undetectable until January 2023 and slowly creeped back up to .19 now in April 2024 . Just started Hormonal Therapy with radiation scheduled for August.

Oncologist visit today
Finished visit with oncologist. We are going to monitor PSA every 6 weeks to watch for doubling time. Next meds may be abiraterone and prednisone, but that still remains to be determined.

Dad,83 - is biopsy necessary ?
My dad , 83 had an elevated psa at 18. Dr ordered MRI which showed a pirads 5 with 2-3 bone metastases in the pelvic region and femur. Went to an oncologist who said to do a PSMA and then to start him on Lupron and bicalutamide. And maybe radiation for the bone met pain. He said he did not really

Rise in psa
I had rp in 2021 with recurrence 12 months later to 1 lymph node. RT to 9lymph nodes and zoladex hormone therapy for 18 months. Psa has been undetectable for 12 months but just rose to 0.03. Do I need to wait until it rises to 2.0 as I've seen advice before or is there a more proactive approach? Thanks

Drugs and high Calcium
My Oncologist wants me to take Prolia, but the Insurance will not pay for it and wants me to take Zometa. However, I did research on Zometa and its reputation is questionable. What are the alternatives? Xgeva seems better. Any thoughts about this.

What Next After Xtandi Fail?
Morning all. Don't post much but now is the time. Been fighting the Beast since Nov 2016. On Lupron from the beginning and Xtandi since Nov 2019. Hit Nadir of .21 in Dec 2022. Since then, PSA has been jumping around, but trending upward. End of 2023, it was at .67. Feb 2024, PSA up to .87. Yesterday
