To Chemo or Not to Chemo--that is the ?
Should I follow my MO's advice and do docetaxel? Since I'm now 78, and have read terrible accounts of chemo, I have held onto the belief that I would do everything to avoid chemo since the treatment appears to be worse than the alternative. But she's really not giving me an alternative, other than

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

Overall Survival With [177]Lu-PSMA-617 vs Cabazitaxel in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
The Lancet Oncology TAKE-HOME MESSAGE TheraP was a phase II trial that compared the efficacy of radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 with that of cabazitaxel in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who had previously received docetaxel. After a median follow-up of 35.7 months

HoLEP Affect on Pca
as posted earlier, I have both BPH (80 cc) and localized prostate cancer. Clear PSMA. I’m having HoLEP surgery. Wonder how this will impact the cancer. How will PSA respond? What happens if HoLEP actually removed the cancer?

Criteria for "my ADT has stopped working and we have to move to another"
Hello - So my third post ADT initiation (Lupron+Abi) PSA test is coming up and since it was <.1 six weeks ago, I asked how the criteria of “has stopped working” works -to my Hopkins MO and I got this - “We want to declare a therapy no longer effective when PSA is clearly going up. We look for 0.3

Helpful group
Hello All, This group has been very helpful in providing information and suggestions on PC. I was diagnosed in Sept. 23 as Stage 4, Gleason 7 with all core samples testing positive and one met to the sacrum. Just completed 28 rounds of IMRT and have been on Lupron, Xtandi and Zometa for the last two

Focal therapy ?
I'm a patient at MSK in NY, though I live in CT. Am an active healthy 80 yr old who is still working and runs on a treadmill 2-3 miles a day. Briefly, have been on active surveillance since Fall, 2019 with periodic MRIs, biopsies (Gleason 6), etc. Also have BPH (last MRI 95cc). Last Spring PSA started

Should I go on Prostap/Zoladex?!
Hi, A very complex question, I know, but one that’s been eating me up since I had my surgery 3 months ago. I had a large endometrioma which sadly (likely due to how long I was waiting) had leaked so I have more areas on endo around my insides now. The surgeon said this was quiet bad and wants to put

Prostate cancer
My prostate condition started around eight years ago when I had urinary track infection which also led to prostatitis. Ever since then, my PSA jumped from 2 to 7.8 during the last 5 years. I had two biopsies… first one, four years ago, they detected no positive cancer cells in my prostate. However

Still confused about PSA and Testosterone testing
I have been reading posts here for some time and there seems to be a split between those who only get PSA tests each time they go to their doctors and those that get both tests each time. I had a baseline testosterone test before Lupron and before radiation. I am now doing my 6 month follow up and
