Father with Stage 4 prostate cancer in 8 bones.
On 10/25/22 I took my dad (79 at the time) to the ER at the VA for escalating back pain and we walked out with a stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. When I brought him to the ER I expected them to tell me he had lung cancer as he is a lifelong smoker. Additionally, I had been worried about him all year

🤖 ChatGPT on Cancer-Fighting Exercise💪 vs PCa
ChatGPT, the free AI research tool provided by OpenAI, is surprisingly good at summarizing some topic of interest that one might be interested in. I submitted a long question this evening on "

Abiraterone edema management
One of the fun things I am getting as an SE while on lupron/abiraterone/prednisone is fluid retention. Edema and getting up to pee 3-4 times nightly (losing 3-4 lbs of weight during the night.) What if anything can be done about this?

Testosterone too high?
I recently had my quarterly PSA and T tests, following stopping 18 months of ADT (Orgovyx) in April of 2022. PSA continued to de undetectable (<0.01) and T was 761. The last quarterly T was 706. Having had an initial PC Dx of GL9, Stage 4, Decipher .76 (July 2019) should I be concerned that T is

PSA Rising
Asking for a friend of my father this time. He had surgery in december 2022 and everything was removed including glands. Gleason 4+5. His PSA has risen från 0.1 to 0.14 in 12 months. His doctor says to do nothing until it hits 0.2. But shouldn’t he do more? Maybe he doesn’t have advanced cancer yet.

Chemo Failed
My dad finished Docetaxel in November. He went to oncologist today. His PSA went from 0.58 to 2.3. Things he tried: Lupron (on for years before failed) Zytiga (worked for 18 months) Orchidectomy Then the chemo. He is not a candidate for radiation because of a previous cancer. He is going to

Bicalutamide
My Dad last week was diagnosed with 3 spots of cancer on his prostate. 3+4=7, 4+4=8, and a 4+3=7 spot. The thing I don’t understand is during the visit to the Urologist to discuss his biopsy results, the urologist prescribed 50mg of Bicalutamide to begin reducing his testosterone. I believe this is premature

Next step..
Gleason 9, s/practice RP. PSA UP to 0.2 8 months later. PSMA showed 4 hot spots all in pelvis. Started on zytiga and lupron same time as radiation started. PSA has remained < 0.04 for 17 months now. Considering the aggressive nature of my cancer, should I insist on a scan even when PSA <0.04 or

Delay date for Lupron injection
I am due to get my third 6 monthly dose of Lupron injection in late May. I plan to travel during that time. Is there any harm if I should postpone the injection date by 2 or 3 weeks beyond the 6 months dateline?My PSA reading is currently below 0.1 ug/l. Secondly, I am contemplating going on ADT vacation

PSA Rising and MRI Negative
My husband PSA has been rising after Prostatectomy. A recent PET Scan showed cancer cells in the Prostate bed, but the MRI didn't pick-up any disease. The Oncologist is checking labs, and will start my husband on HT.Question for the group. Why would PET scan pick-up cancer cells, and not the MRI?

Docetaxel results so far
People want to know if Docetaxel is worth doing due to the side effects. My husband just had a recent PSMA PET scan after 5 treatments and the result is compared with the same scan method done before treatment began: [i]Impression (Summary)[/i] [i]Mild improvement in subcarinal adenopathy, left lung

I have had 3 Chemotherapy treatments with Docataxel. before the first treatment PSA was 89. after the first treatment PSA was 73.31.. after the second treatment PSA was 52.82. after the third treatment, PSA was 73.31.. does it make sense to take another chemotherapy treatment since the PSA has risen

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
Hello, I wanted to provide an update on my husband's progression and, hopefully, some of you may have some knowledge to share or have a similar profile. His psa has risen from <0.04 since RP for Stage 3b to 0.06 in 9/23. A recheck a week later showed a rise to 0.1. This was followed by a drop to <.04
