Life Expectancy
My father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer four years ago. Initially, he underwent radiation for a few spots on his ribs and immediately began ADT/Xtandi treatment for two years. His PSA dropped to 0.001, prompting his medical oncologist to recommend a medication vacation. For two years, he

Staring at my unopened bottle of Orgovyx
Well, D-day (or maybe O-day) has arrived (thank you FED-X). I'm about to do a swan dive into my battle against my PCa. After a week of searching for this stuff, my clinic found it in Louisville Kentucky at a pharmacy called Onco360. Not exactly a neighborhood corner market with me living on an island

Cancer Risk vs %Free PSA Ratio
Here's a plot of the Risk (probability) of getting prostate cancer versus the % Free PSA / Total PSA ratio, for three different ages: 55, 65 and 75 y.o.. Interestingly, the PCa risk decreases as the % Free PSA ratio increases. All men who have their PSA measured should ask for the

Testosterone Recovery for 50% of Men
Here's an updated plot of Testosterone recovery time for 50% of men after stopping Lupron ADT, as a function of ADT duration. For ADT durations less than 20 months, the curve is basically linear with a slope = 1.0 (green line), meaning that the Recovery Time for 50% of men is roughly equal to the ADT

Walsh's Folly?
I posted earlier that I had to ask ChatGPt "who came up with the 'gasoline on a fire' characterization regarding the relationship of testosterone and prostate cancer" and that Chat GPT had answered -- Dr. Patrick Walsh -- (father of the radical prostatectomy.) In that post, discussion turned to Walsh's

Results of MRI...
Hello, Just received call from hospital saying MRI shows diseases stabilised ( no progression) and the doctor is very happy with it. This is after 3 rounds Caelyx/ Carbo with small decrease of ca 125 from 595 to 515 last time. I don't know what to think... Was expecting and praying so hard for decrease

Mucinous ovarian cancer
Hello, in December 2023 I was diagnosed with stage 1c2 ovarian cancer after having an op to remove my ovary and fallopian tube due to a large cyst. The cancer I had was a mucinous cancer, has anyone else had that type? I've recently had my 3 month review and blood test results. Thankfully my CA125 and

"Gasoline" Source
I have been trying to find the source for the observation? that "Testosterone to prostate cancer is like gasoline on a fire". I finally asked Bing Copilot and ChatGPT-- who came up with the answer. Me: What is the source of the "gasoline on a fire" theory in prostate cancer? ChatGPT: Dr. Patrick

Full body MRI?
We’ve been reading about full body MRIs and wonder if anyone has had one after radiation treatment for prostate cancer? Can this type of test pick up micro metastases? If the full body scan was “all clear” could ADT be shortened from 2 years to a lower amount?

PSA rising on Triplet Therapy after <18m
Hi all. Hope you are keeping your spirits high. This is a follow up to a post I made in 2022 about my father. I haven't posted since, which reflects the period of relative normalcy that followed the commencement of ADT (triplet therapy) at MSK. I want to pause to appreciate that since I know most of

I am a 70 year old diagnosed in 8/21 with G9 on biopsy with initial imaging negative for metastatic disease. Underwent RP in 10/21 with seminal vesicle involvement. A few sampled nodes were negative. 5 months after surgery PSA climbed to 0.39 from 0.016 in first post op test. PSMA PET revealed a solitary

How long does SBRT to two lymph nodes continue to lower PSA?
Just wondering…does SBRT continue to drop PSA for any length of time? Or is it five sessions and it is what it is then? Curious if I can see further PSA reduction after 5 sessions to one node, then 5 to a second node. No prostate. See the treating RO in a couple of days, but thought I would ask

Salvage options?
