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

rash reaction to Xtandi
I was taking Xtandi and developed a rash in a few places. my oncologist insisted on getting me off of this medication.. I went to the dermatologist and he explained that he has been able to help people stay on medication even if they develop a rash. The dermatologist did a biopsy and contacted the oncologist

Casodex(tablet) Vs lupron(injection)
Hi allCasodex (bicalutamide) 57% for driving down PSA Lupron 87% BUT........ maybe for an individual would it be worth trying to see if casodex tablets worked better for driving down PSA instead of the lupron injection????

Stage 4 A Prostate cancer
My partner was diagnosed with stage 4 A prostate cancer with spread to pelvic lymph nodes. Oncologist has recommended surgery followed by radiation and hormone therapy for a good prognosis. He is 65 healthy and no symptoms. PSA was 11. Has a history of prostrate cancer. Was wondering if we should get

xtandi beginning to fail?
Seven months ago my PSA was 0.06. Three months ago PSA at my URO’s office was 0.11. I asked him if xtandi was beginning to fail me, he would not give me a answer. March 11th PSA at my MO’s office PSA was < 0.1. MO was happy with that number. I get checked again the 25th of this month at my URO. I

PSA, total
Hello. I know this forum is about advanced prostate cancer. I’m really hoping I’m not there yet. I had a RP June 2023 I just got the results from my forth PSA test the first three were a post prostatectomy PSA test and all three were 0.02 this last one was a PSA, total. That’s what the Urologist wanted

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

PSA from .08 to 2.1, after 2yrs ADT with zytiga and RT @59 yr
so seems to be back and waiting on PSMA PER SCAN. From what I understand, they usually look for something and do a scavenge RT treatment. Anyone who’s gone through this did you have to go back on ADT because that just sucks.. I had high risk Gleason score 9 anybody deal with this? I’m sure. Let me know

A question about radiation resistance
Last week a post was made about Decipher showing high radiation resistance. My decipher showed the same. Quick question. If you have had SBRT and it hasn't deliver a “killing dose” to tumor, is brachytherapy a follow up option? My PSA showed rise after SBRT, (from 8.6 to 12) Ro and Mo attributed

1 year on - no PSA but tumor has "progressed"
Hi all I am writing on behalf of my dad, who is not as tech literate as I am. He was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the prostate (suspicious nodule in the left peripheral zone) back in June 2023 following an initial MRI, biopsy and PSA test (results from those tests are below). He was advised to

Hi! We’re beginning to research facilities for second opinions, next step guidance to supplement what we’re learning from our local doctor. My husband is BRCA2 positive, had a prostatectomy, salvage radiation and now his PSA is starting to creep back up. I know it’s too early to take additional treatment

Neuroendocrine Prostate cancer (NEPC) questions.
I’ve had some very concerning symptoms lately so I started looking up more about NEPC. I have some of the listed symptoms. I’ve been under enormous stress lately, caring for my mom who’s in her 90s. The stress may have cause my cancer to mutate. Last year I remember reading something on this site

Making a Case for Intermittent ADT in Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
FPC'ers, Many times, we hear people claim that you should only stop ADT if you can't tolerate it any longer, and that it will not slow castrate resistance; that it increases risk for stroke, and heart attack; that it will likely take years for your testosterone to recover; that it increases mortality

Hi everyone, My Dad (77) diagnosed in January w/ stage 4 PC, mets to L5 spine. PET scan showed no other spots elsewhere. PSA was 19 at time of diagnosis, Gleason 10. BRCA negative. PSA is now at 0.2 since starting hormone therapy. Feeling good, no pain. Still works (owns his own company). Started

Testosterone Recovery for 50% of Men
Here's an updated plot of Testosterone recovery time for 50% of men after stopping Lupron ADT, as a function of ADT duration. For ADT durations less than 20 months, the curve is basically linear with a slope = 1.0 (green line), meaning that the Recovery Time for 50% of men is roughly equal to the ADT
