PSA Testing Scandal Repost
This was my first post two years ago. It was about the scandal of my diagnosis. I don't think much has changed. Basically PSA testing is a good thing. https://healthunlocked.com/advanced-prostate-cancer/posts/148930895/psa-testing-scandal-lost-years-of-life-updated-re-qol [i]Posted later - please see

Zytiga issue solved…
A big thank you to all who weighed in on whether I should take a lesser dose of abiraterone with food or just go without for a few days…….when I called my insurance company and got to talk to someone who gave a hoot it was discovered that a new pre-Auth was NOT needed…….10 or more phone calls later

Keynote 365 Trial
Hey fellas, Seeing my MO tomorrow about enrolling in the Keynote 365 clinical trial with Keytruda in combination with another drug. Has anybody had any experience with Keytruda? Did it work for you? SE’s? I’m 17 years into this journey, castrate resistant, failed Xtandi, and recently failed Docetaxel

Diagnosed under 55
I’m looking specifically for men and partners of men who were diagnosed with de novo stage four prostate cancer at their initial diagnosis. The treatments are different and unfortunately so it the overall outlook. The younger men are diagnosed with PCa, the more aggressive the cancer tends to be.

Oncologist visit today
Finished visit with oncologist. We are going to monitor PSA every 6 weeks to watch for doubling time. Next meds may be abiraterone and prednisone, but that still remains to be determined.

Dad,83 - is biopsy necessary ?
My dad , 83 had an elevated psa at 18. Dr ordered MRI which showed a pirads 5 with 2-3 bone metastases in the pelvic region and femur. Went to an oncologist who said to do a PSMA and then to start him on Lupron and bicalutamide. And maybe radiation for the bone met pain. He said he did not really

Rise in psa
I had rp in 2021 with recurrence 12 months later to 1 lymph node. RT to 9lymph nodes and zoladex hormone therapy for 18 months. Psa has been undetectable for 12 months but just rose to 0.03. Do I need to wait until it rises to 2.0 as I've seen advice before or is there a more proactive approach? Thanks

Expanded label sought for 177Lu-PSMA-617 in prostate cancer: about time
I have already done the taxane part and I would like to see how 177Lu performs as first line...but this is also interesting, it seems more effective than a change in ARPI in castration resistant setting "Data also showed that a PSA decline of at least 50% was more than 2.5 times more frequent with 177Lu-PSMA

What Next After Xtandi Fail?
Morning all. Don't post much but now is the time. Been fighting the Beast since Nov 2016. On Lupron from the beginning and Xtandi since Nov 2019. Hit Nadir of .21 in Dec 2022. Since then, PSA has been jumping around, but trending upward. End of 2023, it was at .67. Feb 2024, PSA up to .87. Yesterday

Wife of Newly Diagnosed Husband - PSMA questions
Hi Everyone, We found out two weeks ago that my husband has high grade prostate cancer. He is 59. PSA 5.9. Gleason 4+5, 4+3 and 3+4. There was perineural invasion in one sample and intraductal in another. He has had an MRI and a CT scan, as well. He is scheduled for a bone scan next week. No prostate

Bicalutamide (Casodex) then Eligard - Question
OK, Another quick question. I've been on Bical for 11 days and in 3 days I get my first 1 month injection of Eligard. I have had almost zero side effects with Bical, maybe a little extra fatigue but hardly noticeable. Does this mean that perhaps I will tolerate Eligard better than what some people experience

enzalutamide
Hi I lost my dad a year ago but enzalutamide slowed the progression and shrunk the met also alleviating pain. This is taken in tablet form and offered as an alternative to chemotherapy. Hope this might help.

PSA following Lupron and question on scans
hi all, I am so happy to report that my dad has really improved following terrible side effects with his radiation treatment. I have posted before -he was having awful GI side effects which seemed to get worse following radiation completion. But this is all subsided which we are grateful for. dad

Stage 4, GL 9 seeking advice
After 10 months without pain, I'm starting to have pain in my back. Orgovyx and Zytiga have appeared to keep the cancer relatively quiet until now. Next month I turn 87. I'm quite healthy, apart from Prostate cancer. I have no illusions about a cure but would like to have as many QOL days as possible

Next step
Just finished up with chemo. Went from 139 psa @ dx to 1.66. I didn't make it to the non detectable team. Not sure what to think as many here with higher psa's have gone down lower. I'm currently still on Orgovyx and Nubeqa. Should I ask for more rounds of chemo as I've done 6 ? Will my PSA possibly
