Saxon clinical trial
Hello all, I was recently enrolled in the Saxon clinical trial combining Xofigo with SBRT. Is anyone else in that trial? Diagnosed with prostate Cancer July 2014, Gleason 7 (4+3) in 6 of 12 . After Radiation treatments my PSA was undetectable until July 2019. It rose to 3.9 in January 2020

Opinion sought for ADT treatment duration
I started taking Orgovyx tablets last April. Then I went through the typical 45 radiation treatments of the prostate. 3 months ago my PSA had dropped from 8 to 0.7. Last week it had dropped to 0.1 ng/ml. A biopsy last year showed 1 sample identified as Gleason 8. My urologist thinks I can stop taking

my prostate cancer
Diagnosed in November 2022. Favorable intermediate with Gleason 6 & Gleason 7 (3+4), with 4 less than 5%, and low Decipher score. On AS. 13 months later, one year MRI showed “concerning” images, with irregular capsule (visible), and extra capsular extension probable (interpretation from radiologist).

post radiation. Currently on ADT. PSA slight increase ?
Hey all, My father who started at 226PSA has finished radiation treatment about a year ago.: and remains on ADT. his PSA was sitting 0.03 but has jumped to 0.08. Is this any cause for concern? I took it as a positive as it sounds extremely low but now second guessing ..

Just finished my second Pluvicto round.
After the first round my PSA went down a couple of pts. After the second round it went up about 25 pts. Have not done any scan and I would rather wait until after the third round in mid April. I see no problem with this. Increase PSA can be the result of dying cancer cells, right SUV numbers in the 20s

Is there hope despite the pain? Is Cabometyx worth it?
My 63 year old husband LD stopped Cabo (Cabometyx) when we had Covid (because we took Paxlovid). Now he doesn't want to start up again because of side effects we believe are caused by the Cabo: jaw pain and numbness, body aches, tingling in extremities, pain in the shoulder joint emanating down his arm

Respite from the fight
My beloved is snoring beside me: a sound I wasn’t sure I’d get to hear again. He’s spent the last two years “living” in the recliner in the living room. Pneumonia 3 times: a collapsed lung, likely from one of a series of falls last spring. On oxygen PRN since June 2023. Surgery to stretch the right

MO recommendations at Mayo, Moffitt?
Hello - After 7 months of ADT (Lupron/abi) my MOs are not offering anything but continuation until my PSA fails, so I'd like to network more; so please let me know whom you think are the best at these two places. Thanks in advance.

What remains?
My husband's PSA count is 3631. He's had every treatment bar Lutetium and immunotherapy and he doesn't have the BRCA gene. Are we at EOL? He, although emaciated, believes that it's not over yet.

Long time reader / first time poster…
Hello all, Been on here for quite some time reading about other men’s stories but have yet to get in the trenches until now. Not sure why; maybe just reluctance to accept my situation, even though my “situation” has fully accepted me. It’s been a bumpy road. PSA 12.5 at diagnosis 11/2019. Been checking

degeralix vs lupron
Hello, Any thoughts on which ADT treatment is better? My husband received his first injection with Degeralix today to prevent the testosterone flare and next month the doctor is planning on a 3 month Lupron injection. From what I’ve been reading, it seems that the Degeralix may be better than Lupron

PSMA PET Scan - Help Interpreting Report?
Hello, My husband had his first PSMA PET scan done today, and I am hoping someone who understands PSMA PET reports can help us interpret/understand the results as well as what to expect or ask for in terms of any further testing and/or treatment? My profile is updated with his history, but in a nutshell

PSA increase.
My PSA has increased from .13 to .73 in 3 1/2 months. Does this mean I am castrate resistant. Or does it need to increase over a couple more samples first. Can my PSA change this much for other reasons. I am currently on Lupron. Thanks for any input.

Blood work question
My husband just got round # 4 of chemo yesterday and bloodwork was done the day before. Doctor not concerned with anything on the blood work and did say that it is expected to change with each round of chemo. Everything looked good and hardly any changes but one flag I see was the Red cell distribution

Just completed 6 rounds of Lutetium-177
Been dealing with advanced prostate cancer since 5/20 and have undergone several treatment options available. Life has changed significantly because of the treatments but I feel good generally and looking forward to the next viable treatment. Happy to share experiences with any other advanced prostate
