PALB2 Stage 4 A prostate cancer treatment plan.
My Partner has stage 4A prostate cancer spread to the nodules and has the PALB2 gene. How effective is internal and external radiation and ADT as the first line of treatment? Why can't the drs start with PARP inhibitors and chemo which is the standard of care as a second line treatment? Is it because

Cabazitaxel treatment
A shock diagnosis almost seven years ago. Then the merrygoround of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone treatment and slowly but surely the cancer progresses. Here I am, wondering where to go next and contemplating if chemo with cabazitaxel is the way to go. Does anyone have any experience with

Is My Urologist Telling Me the Truth About Prostate Biopsies, or is He "Painting a Rosy Picture" of them?
I have concerns about the discomfort and after-effects of a prostate biopsy scheduled soon. But my urologist seems to be saying [i]
"No worry. It'll only take 30-40 minutes and it'll be over so that you can return home. You'll have some soreness for a few days and you'll be okay."
[/i] Is this

Will Androgen-nourished Prostate Cancer Cells Succumb to "Glucose/Glutamine Starvation"?
If prostate cancer cells are enriched with androgens that normally propel their growth and spread, could they still be "starved" by selectively inhibiting their GLUT receptor expressions to block their uptake of glucose and also by limiting their ability to turn to and utilize glutamine as a backup

The role of PSMA PET/CT in predicting downgrading in patients with Gleason score 4+4 prostate cancer in prostate biopsy - W Jour Uro 5/21/24
[i]An interesting investigation aimed at validating the use of PSMA PET/CT in patients to adjust the Gleason score (downward) of their cancer based on conventional pre-surgery biopsy, scans (ultrasound & MRI). In this instance the focus was on downgrading from a high-risk of 8 to an intermediate-risk

Been told by gynae I'm too old for endo but gp disagrees?
I hope someone can help/advise please. I have been having severe abdo/gynae issues for a long time, but they have worsened in the past 12 months. I am 48 and my gp thought it was Endometriosis as I am having bowel and bladder issues, linked to my cycle. The pain is so bad I nearly pass out. I have seen

any similar stories extensive metastatic prostate cancer
hello! I’ve been on here for a few weeks reading everyone’s posts, which have been helpful. My dad recently found out he has extensive Mets throughout his skeleton, although we have been battling this disease for almost 5 years now, things have taken a turn. He has been on ADT since January, and tolerating

How much targeted radiation to mets?
Hi, Warriors. I've been through Zytiga, Pluvicto and Xtandi - all failed. Have aggressive metastatic cancer and mets head to toe. Starting to get pain in bones and already had one major blast of radiation to ribs. Can they keep blasting spots as they get painful, or is there a radiation limit?

Large Prostate more difficult to remove ?
In 2013 I had robotic prostatectomy. My prostate was quite large, volume 130ml, size 7.43x5.61x5.97cm. As a result, prostate was removed in two pieces, no seminal vesicles where removed and path: "pT2c bilateral, pNx, GL 4+3 Tertiary 5, EPE not identified, SUV not identified". I understand, pNx means

Husband getting extremely tired on Zytiga
Tim began Zytiga one month ago. He is also doing Lupron and EBRT which will be over in 5 sessions (he had 5 weeks of them all together). Up until about 5 days ago, he was working and then going to Pilates once a week and to the gym, but now he is coming home EXHAUSTED from work and barely has the energy

Has anyone heard of trial DB-1311-O-1001?
Hi all, I’m wondering whether anybody has heard of the above trial? My Dad had been put forward for this and was advised yesterday he got through onto the trial but the paperwork says “first trial on humans”. They aren’t sure of the side effects and we are all feeling a bit apprehensive… My Dad has

Finally Something’s Working
I have had this mutherf*cker of a disease 19 years. I have had numerous rounds of Lupron. I have been on Casodex, Erleada, Nubeqa. Zytiga, Provenge, 8 rounds of Docetaxel and, now, Pluvicto. As is standard, after my third round of Pluvicto I had a PSMA PET scan. Finally, something seems to be working

How many treatments of Chemo can the body handle
I have had 7 cycles of docetaxel and 3 of cabazitaxel. The oncologist wants to continue with another 7 cycles of cabazitaxel. My question is how much of this poison can the body handle. Does this chemo destroy things permanently in the body. I know that the fatigue is taking over. I couldn't run

Kindly seeking advice about my options
I'm metastatic HSPCa on Lupron/Erleada over two years now. Three periaortic lymph nodes and two ribs lesions. Sooner or later, I will go metastatic HRPCa (average about 3 years to become hormone resistant). So, my question is what kind of treatment coming next Thanks for your input

My Cancer Journey Repost
It's time for a repost of my two-part cancer journey diary. Some "starting the journey readers" might find it helpful. Originally posted as two Health Unlocked "replies" - maybe I should make them an actual full "post". So I am pleased to report that
other than fatigue, I feel sort of normal right

Chronic sinus issues
I’m currently on an Xtandi, Zometa and Lupron treatment plan. Could there be a correlation between one of these drugs and chronic sinus stuffiness? I also take a cholesterol drug and 3 different blood pressure meds. Thanks in advance if anyone has information. My Best Jim

Ped5i/Tadalafil etc as a benefit to SE of ADT?
Tadalafil , etc is prescribed for ED, BPH and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is pretty much agreed upon that Tadalafil increases insulin sensitivity thus improving lean body mass, particularly around the gut, improves Testosterone/estrogen relationship and is good for heart and vascular health

Will Existing Drugs Stop Cancer's Bone Spread? I don't know but it's driving me crazy!
Just because I cannot know which are the two repurposed drugs that seem to have such great results with metastasis. The chief researcher is Neta Erez who has great reputation in research about bone metastasis. I am inclined to think about Ivermectin as one of the possible components of the cocktail,
