Might blood be good news?
I'm now getting ready for my 3rd Docetaxel infusion. My symptoms and side effects have been very mild. Before chemo started, I was getting pains in the rectal wall, sharp bladder discomfort and pain on urination - along with blood in the urine. As of today, I'm waiting for definitive results from

Erleada side effects
Would like to hear from those with personal experience that have added Erleada to ADT ( Lupron, Firmagon, Orgovyx). What additional side effects did you experience ( fatigue, cognitive, lab test changes, rash, etc). Not looking for studies or drug mfg info, I'm able to look at that. Want to hear real

Seminal vesticles and Neuromuscular bundes are symmetric. However one of my lymph nodes is boderline enlarged at 1.0cm short

Chemo for an 86-year-old with stage 4 PC.
Started all this at 86, stage 4. 3 months on Orgovyx brought PSA from 72 to 1.8; next week I'm adding Zytiga, and if that helps and I can deal with this drug I'm going to press the MO to start me on Chemo. Do you think I'm setting myself up way too much?

Options when Docetaxel stops working
Hi everyone- My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in April of 2021. His PSA was 52 at the time of his diagnosis. He went on Lupron and Abiraterone which took his PSA to .03 and kept it low until Oct 2022. It went to 8.9 and his doctor put him on Docetaxel chemo. His PSA has continued

Trying to get to retirement before HT
Hi All, I'm currently 65 years old. My PSA level before the biopsy was 8.1, and my Gleason Score was 4+4. Fortunately, there are no signs of metastases. Although my treatment hasn't started yet, it's likely that I'll begin radiation therapy in early December. I'm currently overseas and won't return

Thinking of Active Surveillance with 3+4
Received my results on Feb 28 that I had 1 core of 3+3, not worried about that one.... But I had two cores of 3+4, 1 core the gleason pattern 4 is 10% and the other core was gleason pattern 4 of 10-20%, these reading were from the City of Hope, which confirmed the original report from my first Dr.

MRI scanning could lead to major cut in prostate cancer deaths, finds UK study
Snippits: “The UK prostate cancer mortality rate is twice as high as in countries like the US or Spain because our levels of testing are much lower than other countries". “The well-known limitations of the old PSA-based screening studies of overdiagnosis and linked overtreatment are increasingly

Brother's numbers since ADT plus Orchiectomey since diagnosed in February
Hi folks. I've been reading daily posts here since February when my brother was diagnosed with metastatic PC in February after a reading of 367.8 PSA. Thanks for all the good information! Cancer is in his skull, ribs, lymth nodes, and spine. He had one ADT injection right away and opted for an Orchiectomey

ipp and salvage radiation
Rp on july of 22 for gleason 3+4 with psa of 16. PT3b, pN1 with negative margins and 2 of 11 lymph nodes involved. I took a nomogram online and came out 75% likely for recurrence. My first psa post op was .02, then .03, .04, .04, .05 in late august- so I've crossed line #1. Which is a bummer but not

PSA slightly rose after 8 months undetectable
I am 57 and on ADT (Firmagon+Zytiga+Prednisone) after surgery in 2022 and 39 sessions of RT in 2023 (Jan Feb). Till now I has been undetectable but at November my bloodwork showed PSA risen to 0.04. Should I be concerned or could it be just random fluctuation? Thanks for your reactions.

Triplet Therapy
Hi all...had another meeting with Urologist after he presented my case to the Tumor Board. (50yrs old male, gleason 9, 2 mets) The outcome from that is they think I am great candidate for triplet therapy. I recall in my initial post about being diagnosed that triplet therapy was mentioned alot.
