Proton Beam
Hello, I don't know if it's possible to use for ovarian cancer but has anyone had proton beam therapy at all? Or if not directly on their ovaries for any spread of the disease? Thank you

PC History
A conditioned hardcore athlete, at the age of 59 I had Da Vinci surgery in 2010 with Gleason 4+3=7, PSA 9. Post surgical biopsy showed all margins clear with no seminal vesicle involvement. I had no incontinence and an active sex life for ten years when cancer suddenly went active again with PSA rising

Proton therapy vs IMRT?
Looked at studies - seem inconclusive as to any advantage for one over other. Some indications PT may have less side effects, maybe? Local radiation folks (Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) say have seen slightly more rectal bleeding from PT. Thoughts?

Prostate Cancer Care With No Rectum
First post here. This blog is somewhat intimidating; I'm in awe of members' knowledge of PCa treatments, and of all the abbreviations sprinkled throughout. I'm 78 years old, being treated at MSK--now on 4 months of Orgovyx; awaiting 20 proton treatments in NY in December. My journey started this spring

Considering Proton Radiation? Shorter course of Proton Therapy may be just as effective.

Hello
I'm new here so just saying "hello". 71 years old retired anesthetist. Had a PSA of 5.7 in Sept 2020. In November 2020 had an MRI guided biopsy by Dr Busch in Chattanooga Tn - Gleason 9 (4+5) confined to the prostate. Bone scan and pelvic CT clear at that time. My Urologist referred me to Dr Lavey

Regional or metastatic? Proton + ADT +???
Have a couple of questions I am hoping someone can help with. My husband (77) was diagnosed 1/14/21 with PCa; 4=5=9 and 5=4=9, grade 5. Six/12 cores, all left side malignant; all 6 right benign. PSA was 3.7 in 9/2019, 5.15 in 9/20, 8.18 in 12/20, and 10.43 before Degarelix injection 1/28/21. Last week

Diarrhea after radiation
I'm having a recurrence 15 years after seeds and EBRT. The PSMA scan and a whole-body mpMRI seemed to indicate the only lesion on my T8 vertebra. So last month I had five fractions of proton beam therapy to that vertebra. For those who don't know, the T8 is very near the midpoint of the back, nowhere

Lutetium treatment at Johns Hopkins - 2nd dose
I’m in a clinical trial at Hopkins and I’ve just I had my second dosing of the lutetium. I was identified as being “avid’ and therefore a good candidate for this treatment. My PSA was doubling every month and a half. I got off DoxyTaxol in November 2020 and my PSA went from 28 to 90 in March. The second

Proton Therapy failed.
PSA went up three years in a row rising to 5.09 when Proton Therapy commenced. Gleason was 7 and 6 at time of proton therapy. On Lupron and Zytiga currently. PSA now rising again to 6.33 and unsure of what's next. Appt. 4/30.

Good morning and thank you for all you do. On January 28th my oncologist said I had prostate cancer and needed to have a prostatectomy within 3 months. My Gleason score is 3+3=6, my biopsy should 2 positive samples out of 12 with less then 2% in one and less then 10 % in another. My PSA previously was

Rising PSA 9 years after Proton Beam Therapy
Hi. In early 2013 I travelled to South Korea to have 28 fractions of PBT. My GS was 3+4 = 7 with a PSA around 9. Besides having a fantastic three months in Seoul, the Korean National Cancer Centre were fantastic. So much so they inspired me to write a book on PCa and my experiences. I followed this up

PSA creeping up
Sixth anniversary of Proton Therapy at UFPTI. Results of PSA yesterday showed increase from 2020 to 2021 of 0.92 to 1.02. Here is my history: 07/15 2.50 01/16 1.30 07/16 2.56 01/17 0.75 01/18 1.41 04/18 0.76 07/18 0.85 01/19 0.79 01/20 0.92 02/21 1.02 I have to say this is very disappointing. Especially

6 year anniversary--could 0.8 be my nadir?
