When to Commence ADT and/or Androgen Blocking Therapy?
Greetings All - New to this forum but have followed the Healing Well PC forum since beginning treatment in 2018 and later began to follow Prostate Cancer News, Reviews and Views which referenced this forum. The details are provided below but my question is: At what ultra-sensitive (LabCorp) PSA level

AI to predict clinical trials outcome

Sclerosis due to cancer or treatment?
I recently developed sclerosis in my left hip area...painful to sit on a hard surface. PSMA tech wrote 'sclerosis developed consistent with treatment'. Oncologist seems unconcerned. I've read that sclerosis can sometime happen when ADT reduces tumor size, which means the bone has to adjust. The recent

2nd pBAT cycle results: AR upregulation? Double strand breaks? Darolutamide?
Started 2nd pBAT cycle on 4-22-24 with a PSA of 0.62 measured 2 days earlier. All 6 injections were 50 mg eod of T propionate with .625 mg letrozole every 5th day as an aromatase inhibitor. The hiT cycle was cut short by 2 injections because of a plan to SBRT treat a pelvic lymph node chain that lit

Next step options after lupron/zytiga failed
I have been on monthly Lupron for 7 years (starting in 2014) after the spread of prostate cancer to my bones following a prostatectomy in 2014. Lupron alone was very effective until December 2021. I then added Zytiga/Prednisone which had worked well. But current (June 2024) scans show substantial disease

Targeted Biopsy
I live on the east coast of North Carolina. I’m looking for top choices of medical centers that conducts MRI targeted biopsies. I’ve been on active surveillance for 10 years but last three PSA tests have been rising. I’m currently being treated at Duke Medical but want to ensure best care for targeted

Can medication elevate the PSA?
My PSA at time of the cancer diagnosis was 5.56. Being in the hospital right now with several meds surging through me, the PSA is at 348.00. Is this a normal reaction?

After Pluvicto #6 results
Finished my 6th and final Pluvicto and am now getting lab results. I see that somehow I neglected to put results after #5 -- may have been distracted by doctors freaking out that my kidney function was going down and my calcium shot up.

Estrogen for Bone Health in PCa patient.
I am under treatment for Prostrate Cancer since mid 2019. Gleason 9-10 when detected with 250 PSA. Pet CT showed all contained in prostrate but with one ECE and seminal vesicles involvement.

Silly Questions??
1) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients get offered "vacations", from ADT and others don't? 2) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients have NO Chemo, and go directly to ADT + Abiraterone+Prednisone, while others begin treatment with chemo and radiation? What are the deciding criteria

Bone scan/CT sensitivity?
My husband has only ever had regular nuclear bone scan and CT. PSA is now rising over 6 months from .45 to.9. At what PSA level would repeat scans be likely to image progression? I am aware of PSMA and this might come down the line but currently from what I read from TA and others is that we need comparable

Signifficant PSA LEVELS
I'm an 81 year old man who has had an enlarged prostate for several months. PSA tests levels 9.1 and 8.1 (several months apart). My Father died of prostate cancer, which had spread to other parts of his body. Follwing a Digital Anal test, my prostate was reported as "smoothly enlarged and sulcus palpable

Does PSA drop after starting ADT tell us anything?
My husband started Firmagon shots a month ago. Before starting his PSA was 5.9. It was tested a few days ago and it’s 1.4 now. Does this tell us anything of any significance? Thanks!

Are bone and CT scans required quarterly if PSA and testosterone are basically zero and no symptoms?
I have stage IV prostate cancer with a spot on my lung being the only known spread of my cancer. After my chemo regimen, my CT and bone scans have been clean for a year now. And my blood work is perfect at the moment. I am on Zytiga and getting a Lupron shot quarterly. My doc still wants

Xtandi/Orgovyx Combo & Heart Rate
My MO added Xtandi to my Orgovyx regimen in late January. I am oligometastatic - one lymph node - and PSA is 0.07 with testosterone at 9.63. I am not castrate resistant. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced slowing heart rate (bradycardia) on this combo. (I also take Myrbetriq which may

PSA Rising
RP 2 years and four months ago. PSA went from <.02 to currently .27, Testosterone at about 600+ Since surgery, there has been no intervention. It looks like it is time to take action. Does the group have any suggestions?
