Paying it forward for folks whose partner is undergoing treatment.
Hi all, Almost two years ago my beloved husband and I received an unexpected diagnosis. With a PSA of 73, he was quickly and thoroughly scanned and biopsied to determine he has Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Many of you know that shock and horror. As the months have gone by and we rode this unfortunate

Medication after pluvicto
I’ve had 5 infusions of Pluvicto. My PSA went down slightly and then went up to 20.5. I will find out later this week if I will get the 6th infusion. What meds, if any, has anyone in a similar situation received?

Zytiga & BAT
I am currently on Zytiga after Bicalutamide failed after 5 years, Would like to try BAT but not sure whether I should continue on Zytiga during BAT or discontinue until PSA goes up. Currently Testosterone is zero and PSA 4.5 and dropping. Prostate removed 20 years ago.

Hey guys. Glad to find this group. 81 years old- Diagnosed 7 years ago with a Gleason 9 The Onc's finally scared me into having a radical but I refused to let them take my nerves. They told me I would be gone in 5 yrs. In retrospect wish I hadn't had the radical. Info and options were very hard to come

1st post-IMRT PSA = 2.1
I completed IMRT on 5/22/23. My last recorded PSA from 1/23 was 4.31. My 1st PSA draw on 8/22/23 came back 2.12. I've read and have been told that PSA doesn't go down immediately with radiation, unlike surgery, and can take up to 2 years to hit its nadir. The RO NP was happy and pretty much said that

BRACA 2
I received my 1st dose of Pluvicto 2 weeks ago and have had a severe pain flare since then. I am wondering if anyone else had a PSA in the 1500’s with extensive bone Mets before starting as well as the BRACA 2 gene??

Radiation Done!
Have to celebrate the minor milestones. Today I finished 44 sessions on the TrueBeam system. My doc was pretty much spot on in his cautions on side effects - started with some not-so-nice lower bowel issues where I had to stick close to the home base for awhile (but nothing compared to what your typical

Radiation
I had the standard IMRT for my pca back in 2013. I was told it was a lifetime dose. Is that true with the newer forms of radiation treatment? I am faced with starting a six dose regimen of taxotere now since ADT does not seem to be working according to PSMA scans. My psa remains at 1.8 even though the
