Experiences with

Prostate disease

I am 76 year old and a prostate cancer survivor for 26 years. After 20 chemo sessions, I started Pluvicto and just finished my 6th and final session. Last 3 sessions were much easier. My 5th session PSA was 0.26.

I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that

I’m currently 71 years old but at age 60 experienced elevated PSA. In 2012 thru 2013 my PSA level went from 6.8 to 8.5 back to 6.5 and now it’s 10. I've been on Active Surveillance and tracked my PSA for over 11 years. Steady increase, however my PSA has generally been higher than the standard. Johns

My hubby has had 5 Docetaxel infusions. His PSA dropped significantly after first 2 infusions and started rising by a point or two before the 4. & 5th infusions. Should we just stop since he seems to have reached the most it is going to do? He has CDK12 mutation and research shows Nothing that is

Good afternoon, community! I am new here and thank God for this opportunity to be among you on this chat. Three years ago I was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. PSA =13.0. Prior to surgery the skeleton was clear. With the surgery it took 4 months. Result - post-op PSA =16.0 and metastasis to

my PSA started at 300 then went to <.1 at Kaiser after 6 months of lupron zytiga and imrt . Since, it has remained <.1 at Kaiser and I have been getting concurrent ultra-sensitive tests at LabCorp. Every 3 month Kaiser test remains at <.01 while Labcorp results have been: .067/.039/.022/.008 and

Here is the latest PSMA scan results. Looks like tumors continue rising up the spine to the base of my skull. as of six weeks ago--probably worse by now. Currently on Xtandi half dose and Orgovyx but PSA continues to rise. What the heck are my options? Kishan at UCLA says too much SBRT over last five

Just got presented with a vacation proposal but I am doing well after two years on Abiraterone/ prednisone. I have a large cell very rare extremely aggressive variant. Plan is to stop treatment, let PSA rise to 0.3 nano grams do a pet Scan to find all active cancer spots and blast them into oblivion

Blood Test Results: 8-16-24, end of 4th hiT cycle, drawn 7 hours after 11th T injection: PSA = 2.25 (similar to previous cycles) E2 = 87 (should be <30, so have re-introduced the AI letrozole in ongoing 5th hiT cycle) 9-3-24, middle of loT cycle, drawn after 1 week @ full dose Nubeqa and 1 wk half

See my profile for history. Have had 8 good years after Docitaxal, Lupron and 4 years of Zytiga. But mets's started up again in May, 2023. PSA went up to 36. Took 5 rounds of Docitaxal but not working. PSA 46 in December. MO prognosis is 1-1.5 yrs. Switched to cabazitaxel but after 3 rounds PSA is now

Hi ! In Sweden (and Finland) we never (or selldom) have ultrasensitive PSA testing so the lowest PSA is < 0.1 or ’undetectable’. i have seen several discussions regarding ultrasensitive PSA measurments and I can understand the value after prostatectomy because you have removed the major source of PSA

I am a 70 year old diagnosed in 8/21 with G9 on biopsy with initial imaging negative for metastatic disease. Underwent RP in 10/21 with seminal vesicle involvement. A few sampled nodes were negative. 5 months after surgery PSA climbed to 0.39 from 0.016 in first post op test. PSMA PET revealed a solitary

I have pretty severe edema in feet and occasionally legs.Is there a diuretic that does not trigger rls? I have tried Bumex and Metolazone. Had very bad rls soon after taking each one. I am on low dose Ropinirole -.9mg . It didn't even calm it. Appreciate any input.

So after a year on HT I was able to track down one of my original MOs from last year, and after reviewing my status said, "my opinion is that imaging needs to supplement this treatment periodically because small cell cancer can be developing under your PSA radar". I took this back to my primary MO

Hi Everyone, Hope everyone is ok with all the crazy weather that has taken place all over. I recently started hemodialysis in the last week. Once again I have had to learn everything from you all or reading online/or in books which is not overly helpful at times. The dialysis center folks think my nephrologist

Just wondering…does SBRT continue to drop PSA for any length of time? Or is it five sessions and it is what it is then? Curious if I can see further PSA reduction after 5 sessions to one node, then 5 to a second node. No prostate. See the treating RO in a couple of days, but thought I would ask

I just happened upon this trial and it is something I had never heard of. It looks like a very small trial being conducted in Tucson, AZ. https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06263010?locStr=Arizona&country=United%20States&state=Arizona&cond=Parkinson%20disease&aggFilters=status:not%20rec&rank=2 Detailed
