Next steps after PBRT
Hi all - First and foremost, Happy Holidays. I had my prostate removed 8/22, with subsequent Proton Beam treatment ending 4/23 (after PSA did not drop to undetectable) brought upon after a mild uptake (during a Petscan) in an obturator lymph node. I’m on Orgovyx and Xtandi, with a plan to stay on them

What testosterone test should I get in my final blood test prior to HT starting?
Hi All, I intend on getting my own blood test that will form the baseline for how the future HT is working. When it comes to getting testosterone tests, I note there are a few to select from. Which one should I get from the following list? 1: Testosterone Free/Total + SHBG 2: Testosterone Total

Remission
In remission since May 2018. All PSA testing from oncologist has ranged from .04 to .05. Why not have my internist take my PSA yearly? Or is going to my oncologist for testing the better way to go?

treatment or no treatment?
it’s been almost 3 years since i was diagnosed with a Gleason 8 prostate cancer, confined to the prostate. To date I have elected not to be treated but instead have been monitoring my PSA levels. Originally this was 6 now 15. I am 66 with no symptoms and no other health issues. I have declined treatment

Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
Hi, I'm 68 years old. Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a PSA value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle. Also the fat plane between the rectum and prostate is lost

PSA trippled since last Lupron infusion
My PSA was 0.05 between February 2023 and June 2023, then in September it ticked higher to 0.06 and at yesterday's Lupron injection it was 0.17. Should I be concerned? Anybody with similar experience: what did you do? Am I CR or still CS? Should I ask for Lu-177/Pluvicto ASAP? Thanks for reading.

After diagnosis of prostate cancer I found the U of Marylands success terminating cancer with clioquinol + zinc. They emphasis treatment for prolactin dependent cancer that my doctors didn't seem to know existed. Anyone else find that to be true?

PSA Doubled in 2 Months
PSA end of August was 0.12 now 0.24. I met with 2 ROs to discuss treatment when my PSA was 0.20 a week ago . One suggested ADT 18-24 months and prostate bed radiation. Second RO says we can avoid ADT for now as he sees 0.70 as the value he believes requires ADT. I'm scheduled for F18 PSMA scan in early

low dose abiraterone and possible pain
Hello everyone, i am new here for my dad and found this community very helpful. Does anybody here find low dose protocol of abiraterone effective? Also, how do you treat bone pain? Or how do you determine if pain is coming from the bone or some other factors like chronic pelvic-prostate syndrome?

Change in PSA
My PSA has been <.064 for a couple years. This time it was <.05. The test is always done by the same lab. Does this mean anything?

Could I try BAT to restore sensitivity to previously used antiandrogen treatments.
I failed Abiraterone and SOC doesn't allow the switch to Enzalutamide. I was reading on the use of BAT to resensitize mCRPC. Would this be a therapy that could work or is it too late now that I have failed. I know its not SOC but I am running out of choices and looking for some clarity. Its basically
