Long term Effects of radiation
I had salvage radiation in 2014 after failed RP surgery in 2013 at age 69 for Gleason 9 PCa. I’ve also had radiation of pelvic lymph nodes in 2015 , right femur in 2017, and a rib and clavicle in 2018. A few years ago incontinence developed. I tried clamp, sling and AUS. The latter caused sepsis

B/C ratio
Is there a connection between prostate cancer and BUN/Creatinine ratio? Mine almost doubled in the last three months. Couldn't find anything out from Doctor Google :) Thanks.

Masofaniten +Enzalutamide This could be a game changer...Science is coming to our aid
This is a company that I was turned on to by Nalkrantz before he was removed from this board. He told me that he was in touch with a doctor that was involved with this drug. Reportedly the early testing on a single patient had been phenomenal. These are pretty amazing #s NEWS PROVIDED BY ESSA

Managing post surgery expectations
I had a radical prostatectomy and lymph node dissection on 9/12 and my catheter removed on 9/22. (Surgery was successful and I received the best pathology report possible.) As I am now at the very early stages of getting urinary control back, I'm struggling to understand what might be "normal" or "expected

Study: Cannabidiol Inhibits the Proliferation and Invasiveness of Prostate Cancer Cells
Abstract Prostate cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in men, responsible for over 375,000 deaths in 2020. Novel therapeutic strategies are needed to improve outcomes. Cannabinoids, chemical components of the cannabis plant, are a possible solution. Preclinical evidence demonstrates

PSMA PET Scan - Help Interpreting Report?
Hello, My husband had his first PSMA PET scan done today, and I am hoping someone who understands PSMA PET reports can help us interpret/understand the results as well as what to expect or ask for in terms of any further testing and/or treatment? My profile is updated with his history, but in a nutshell

PSA still undectable
it’s been 4 months now since I didn’t have my ADT injection ( so 7 months since the last one). Continuing on Apalutamide as a monotherapy atm. Pleased to have experienced Christmas and a 3 week hol in Barbados with no bad news as Decembers have bed. Dodgy in the past. Back at work now - enjoyed

PSA increase.
My PSA has increased from .13 to .73 in 3 1/2 months. Does this mean I am castrate resistant. Or does it need to increase over a couple more samples first. Can my PSA change this much for other reasons. I am currently on Lupron. Thanks for any input.

Hi. I had a mild heart attack in October 2021, one stent fitted. Follow up echocardiogram ecg in April 2022, all good, told no further appointments unless there's any problems. I am currently on Candesartan, Bisoprolol, Omeprazole, Aspirin and Rosuvastatin. No one has reviewed this since October 2022

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has PSA from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER, PSA up to 1.85 on 1/29/24. Disappointing to say the least I see MO next week and presume we start the Plarify scan to identify source and possibly more radiation to kill it. Switch from Eligard to Orgovyx since

Looking for advice for my newly diagnosed dad
Hello, I was wondering if you can offer some thoughts on my dad’s situation. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February after a week in hospital with urine retention. A Ct scan he had in hospital showed 2 small mets in pelvic area. He’s had a biopsy which showed Gleason 4 +5 and his PSA in hospital
