HoLEP for BPH followed by SBRT several months later for 4+3 = 7 PCa. Is it preferable to do the HoLEP before the SBRT?
Diagnosed with BPH (80 cc prostate) and prostate cancer - Gleason 4+3 in 2 cores - less than 30%, 3+3 in 2 cores, benign in 8 cores. Stage T1c. PSMA-Pet no metastasis. PSA 8.8. Decipher 0.51. PSA density 0.11. Having HoLEP in May 2024 then SBRT several months later.

Please forgive the lateness but here it is:Four years after prostectomy my psa began to rise. I had eight weeks of radiation to the prostate bed. Psa returned to nondetectable for eleven years. Two years ago my psa began to rise at an alarming rate it was doubling monthly if not more. I started eligard

CRISPR: hopes and research
I will keep you posted, also because it's a very fascinating technique that could potentially solve many health problems (and of course be used for evil...but that's not CRISPR fault, it's a fault in our brain!...which obviously CRISPR cannot fix!)

UK Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin availability
I have a fairly urgent decision to make regarding my treatment. For the benefit of our US warriors, the UK National Health Service means that the overwhelming majority of patients do not have private healthcare insurance. I'm one of those. Now, with the decision to switch from Docetaxel to Cabazataxel

Are there any good outcomes without using ADT ( hormone therapy)? I delayed it for a couple of years with bad results. My history -- [u]

Dental Issues with Finesteride
I am 7 years post full gland HIFU surgery. Quality of life remains good. I've been off ADT all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems.

xtandi failing?
In September last year my PSA was 0.06. Three months later PSA was 0.09. I asked my doctor if xtandi was failing. He told me not necessarily, once your PSA reached its lowest point, it tends to go up and down before it settles down. He told me they would check my PSA in six weeks, six weeks later

Confused about how all the different PCa drugs work?
This recent article (Oct 2023) has a nice high level diagram that organizes the more common prostate cancer drugs and their mechanism of action. Scroll down to Figure 1.

Docetaxel and Carboplatin
I’ve been on the PC journey for 12 years. I’ve had lupron and all the standard “poisons” that we get, including Pluvicto. My PSA is now up to 99.5. I have bone mets in my lower back and sacrum w periodic pain that’s controlled w pain meds. My oncologist is recommending a chemo concoction of Docetaxel

Right phrenic nerve paralysis
Path from RP showed extensive perineural involvement. No other risk factors for phrenic nerve paralysis. Haven't talked to MO yet, but sure concerned it's tumor invasion. PSA still <0.04.

options after Docetaxel
Hi- I have posted before concerning my brother’s prostate treatment. To give a brief overview- my brother was diagnosed in March 2021. He responded well to Abiraterone for 18 months. Once his PSA starting trending upwards he was put on several sessions of Docetaxel. Unfortunately at this time, he

Help deciding on treatment
Discovered this forum a month ago and have found it to be a wealth of information, with very educated/informed members. Hoping that you can spread some of your wisdom and help my finalize my decision with treatment. I've posted more details in my profile as well as write ups from MSKCC on my Biopsy

SBRT to three bone spots 10 months ago still showing on PSMA PET
SUV started at 15 then 7 now 3. Has anyone experienced similar reduction time, did they eventually resolve completely? Concerned that they might still be hot and grow back. PSA has been stable 0.08.

Getting Tired of This Sh*t
Hi Gents, Prior to having my fifth round of Pluvicto, I had bloodwork done at Quest Labs. I had the lab perform orders from three separate doctors. For some reason, they ran my PSA two times from the same blood draw. I had two different results: 21.51 and 30.0. Prior to my infusion at Stanford today
