Lupron Injection denied by Medicare Advantage PPO plan
My husband will need Lupron injections monthly x4. Two before starting radiation, and 2 during radiation treatment. The insurance, Medicare Advantage PPO, denied it. Anyone successfully appealed the denial? Any suggestions from the group? I checked and Medicare part D covers Lupron for the treatment

Truqap update
I persuaded my onc to start me on this new drug in April. Since starting I have had great results. My first set of labs was great, so we backed off the amount of drug due to diarrhea. I had one set back on my 2nd blood tests but adjusted my meds and am back to lower values on tumor markers. My

Normal CA-125
I am going in for a total hysterectomy on the 25th They suspect a Granulosa Cell Tumour due the presence of a mass on my ovary and thickened womb lining However my CA-125 is in the ‘normal’ range, I am just curious if others received a DX with normal CA-125? I am ready for whatever comes but just

Trigger for PMR
Is the forum aware that a tumour or similar was the trigger for PMR in someone? My rheumatologist sent me for tumour screening, a lung X-ray and a colonoscopy. Or is the cause mostly unknown?

Radiation Confusion- please help clarify
Referred to and met with radiation oncologist because my PC is active again after almost 3 years. This will be my first experience with radiation. It was explained and I thought I understood but am now completely confused - scans (PSMA, MRI, CT and bone scan) showed activity in prostate, SV, and one

Seen the Oncologist
The Oncologist examined me and has decided to send me for a scan to see if the lump has gotten any bigger. If so it could mean Surgery Radiotherapy or drugs, if its shrinking to stay on Tamoxifen and he would see me in months. So I'm just waiting for appointments at the moment Gordon (Redier)

psa risen 3 points since diagnosis. Does it mean cancer spread?
I am so grateful for this website as I am learning so much every day about this disease from all of you. My husband started his first injection of Degerelix today and they took his blood work . His psa from April which was 11.4 today was 14.3. I’m hoping this doesn’t mean the cancer is spreading. Could

CAR-T cell therapy for prostate cancer
Hii I have heard and read about CAR-T cell therapy . It may be most effective treatment for cancer as it uses immune cells called T cells that are genetically altered in a lab to enable them in locating in destroying cancer . Though this is not available for commercial and common people use in India
