I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking Bicalutamide 50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection. This month (October), after receiving his Leuprorelin injection, Urologist advised to stop taking Bicalutamide as it is no longer effective due to hormone resistance

... what, then, do we die of?
New study of SEER data below [1]. The old comforting words that men with PCa "die with the disease, not of it" does not apply once mets occur, of course, but is largely true for local disease (the majority of cases in the U.S., due to screening practices.) It has long been known that men with PCa

Just joined the club no one wants to be a member of in April 2023 - can Gleason 9 be cured ?
Doc says that our goal is a cure despite the fact that I am a Gleason 9 with Decipher score of 1 , the highest for metatastic spread. (PSMA PET was negative.) The highest my PSA has ever been was 5.48 in December 2022 and it dropped to .09 with Testosterone of 14 in August two months after a shot of

Prostate-Kidney and BPH Decision for treatment.
Hi everyone. Hoping to get some input from the collective experience and knowledge of the helpful people on this forum in making a decision on course of treatment. I apologize for length of post, but, with two issues (prostate and kidney) it took a bit to accurately explain. Newly diagnosed with Prostate

Psa doubled in less than a month
I had 10 infusions of Doxytaxel. I started reading about the consequences of CDK12 and was concerned that since I have this mutation doxy was not a treatment of choice. After giving time for the PSA to settle I had a test which showed that it doubled in close to 3 months. In preparation for a CT and

Just had My Monthly Injection of Firmagon Monthly Labs PSA is Up <0.06 to 0.09
That’s pretty modest. I’m assuming I will wait till next month to see if it goes down. Kind of stressed with this new diverticulitis and blood bowel thing AND Moving. Got results of psa after I saw My Medical Oncologist so haven’t discussed modest jump. Even with bleeding from rectum the gastroenterologist

Started MRI Guided SBRT at MSK
After 2.5 years on active surveillance with Dr. Ehdaie at Memorial Sloan Kettering, my cancer progressed to GL 4+3 (Unfavorable Intermediate Risk) and I needed definitive treatment. I opted for MRI guided SBRT with Dr. Sean McBride after getting a second opinion from Dr. Kishan at UCLA. I started

Finasteride
Taking this for benign enlarged prostate after side effects for blood pressure tablets were too severe. Now side effects for Finasteride are kicking in after only a couple of days - sleeplessness, anxiety, hot flushes and not generally feeling quite with it. Has any one else had side effects and do

Does triplet Therapy still work if you've failed Enza?
As most posters know the UK doesn't allow for other 'mides' once you've failed Xtandi (as I have done) But I am considering buying Abi from India to add to my Lupron and Docetaxel. Has anyone had success with Abi after Xtandi failure? Is the triplet therapy likely to work for me? And does it have to

Same medicine, different brand?
Good evening. I take a calcium channel blocker called Vera-Til SR 120mg, also known as Verapamil however, this particular brand is currently out of stock and I have been given an alternative which is Half Securon SR. My GP has advised that I always stick to one brand (Vera-Til SR) and the pharmacist

Erleada side effects
Would like to hear from those with personal experience that have added Erleada to ADT ( Lupron, Firmagon, Orgovyx). What additional side effects did you experience ( fatigue, cognitive, lab test changes, rash, etc). Not looking for studies or drug mfg info, I'm able to look at that. Want to hear real

1st PSA Post SBRT + ADT: A Bounce?
I had a diagnosis of Gleason 3+4, probable ECE; Decipher .63. Received 5 Fraction SBRT at MSKCC (Dr. Zelefsky) in early January of this year. 6 months of ADT (Orgovyx) ended May 23, 2023. At the end of ADT, my PSA was <0.05 and Testosterone was 4. My first PSA Test was last Wednesday at Penn Medicine

Back pain

Question for my father
I haven’t posted in a couple of years but have been following along daily with this forum’s wealth of information. I had my prostate removed 2 years ago at MSK and have recovered well with a still undetectable PSA. I’m writing for advice on my 91 yo father. He was recently found to have bone metastases

I am livid, confused , worried and scared as hell that my ORGOVYX -ADT symptoms are mine for life.
I thought 20 tx imrt & 4 mos of Orgovyx from all the docs I talked to secured a pretty good chance of crushing my cancer AND a real good chance of having my T come back to Normal after " 4 mos". "
"
T " should be back to normal within the same time you were on the drug " that was the wishy
