Salvage Brachytherapy
has anyone here had salvage brachytherapy? High dose radiation Brachytherapy is being recommended for me at MSK pending results of a very recent MRI to determine if I can have it. Sounds promising….administered with carefully placed needles over two sessions two weeks apart. Current PSA is 0.02 on

Pluvicto results (good news), next steps
I completed six Pluvicto treatments at Mayo in Rochester in December 2023. Choline-11 Pet scan in January 2024 showed no evidence of PCa, and PSMA Pet scan on May 22, 2024 continued to show complete remission. Pretty incredible to compare scans from a year ago, riddled with PCa, to the most recent scans

Confused
UPDATE: April 5, 2024 Yesterday was very disappointing as my husbands PSA increased again by 183 points, last month his PSA was 1546 and now it is 1730. All his other CBC results were good. His Alkaline Phosphatase increased 6 points, last month 127 and now 133 but still in range of 40-150. Questioned

Testosterone is increasing? Should I be worried?
Hello everyone, Since my father’s surgery in 2022, his PSA levels have been undetectable. He receives a Zoladex injection every three months. Until this month, the reference range for total testosterone was 1.93 - 7.40 ug/L, and his result was 0.126 ug/L. This month, the lab's reference value format

I need facts on nutrition, vitamins and supplements.
I am a 5 year survivor, currently in recurrence with a rising PSA. Doc has started me on Lupron and Enzalutamide. I’m interested in learning factual info on the effects of diet, nutrition, vitamins and supplements on PCa. I’ve read tons of theories. Where are the clinical reports? Thanks!

Eligard (Lupron) vs. Zoladex
One month ago, Doctor changed the drug from Eligard to Xtandi + Zoladex, It seems to work. The PSA went down from 2.25 to 0.18, and Testosterone went down to 23 from 1080. Why Eilgard not works and Zoladex work??? The are same drug which removes testosteron????? I thought Zoladex is used for women and

Dad 2nd BCR. Advice needed...
After a very late salvage radiation + 1 year Lupron. He has been off ADT for 1 year when PSA began to rise again. From 0.01 to 0.03 in less than 2 months then 0.05 after another 3 months. Is this indicative of an aggressive progression and metastasis? The oncologist said that the doubling time is not

Is it normal to have high PSMA & lesions in MRI after 2 months of SBRT to spine mets, with PSA dropping on Enza that seems to be working?
I had 4 oligomets in the spine, stable since a PET PSMA in November 2023 when I started Enzalutamide. Then treated with SBRT in march 2024.After 2 months, in May, a new PET CT PSMA shows SuvMax of 60 similar to 70 before the SBRT, and an MRI report says there are tumor lesions they same as in the MRI

Lupron + abi/pred 9 months and PSA<.04 throughout - - consider dropping abi and monitor it?
I am a recurrence case and PSA went to 2.2 last year; multiple possible sites. After 9 months in now, PSA <.04 and TT <10 the whole time. Hopkins MO says he would not risk stopping the abi despite the immeasurable PSA whereas Moffitt MO says he would stop the abi since it "seems" not so needed and

Prostap/tibolone - regal study
Hi all, I'm 1 week into prostap and tibolone as part of the reval study and I'm not coping well. I dont want to be another horror story on the internet so to keep it brief my main concern is constant nausea (but I cant function) and worsened allergies (and I have a history of anaphylaxis as it is).

is this what CR looks like?
Starting Nov 20 last year, I began a relugolix on-cycle. Here’s the PSA readings from that point: Nov 20 : 3.10 Jan 8: 0.31 Feb 27: 0.13 Apr 15: 0.08 So up to this point, the PSA is dropping nicely, as it always has with on-cycles; and as I would expect, since I’ve been a strong responder
