New to the forum and doing Intermittent ADT
Things looked great after my
prostatectomy
, but then my PSA started rising a year later. Got a PSMA scan and no mets were detectable. Decided against radiation and went with ADT only. My plan is to do ADT intermittently to get the best quality of life possible. Just trying to manage this.

After RP who goes over Pathology?
Received fresh, the specimen is labeled "prostate and pelvic lymph nodes", and consists of a 20.95 gram
prostatectomy
specimen including a 4.3 x 3.6 x 3.1 cm prostate and a 7.4 x 4.3 x 1.8 cm aggregate of lymph nodes and fibroadipose tissue.

Newly diagnosed
My urologist is telling me that there are 2 options available to me: surgery (
prostatectomy
), or radiation. I've tried to do some research about both options, and realize that both have some pros and cons, but am not sure how to go about making a decision.

bladder neck invasion. Can it be radiated?
My husband had radical
prostatectomy
last week and the pathology report came back with “bladder neck invasion present”, in” right mid and superior posterior and left and right bladder neck”. I’m wondering is it possible to radiate that area after he heals from surgery?

Genistein potentiates the radiation effect on prostate carcinoma cells
In 2004, after my failed
prostatectomy
, I came across the Life Extension protocol for PCa (at that time). It included their Ultra Soy Extract. 5 caps provided a massive amount of genistein. LEF suggested taking this 4 times daily. I think that one bottle was $75 & I would need 4 for a month.

ART BCR Biochemical Recurrence post Radical Prostatectomy RP, Adjuvent Radiation Treatment, Benign Cells, usPSA Ultra Sensitive PSA
Some excerpts from a podcast covering many aspects of active surveillance, both post radical
prostatectomy
(RP) and adjuvant/ early salvage radiation (aRT / eSRT). There is an interesting breakdown of usPSA (ultra sensitive PSA) with predictive values for BCR.

Decided to have a robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - update
Reasons for my decision: I made a decision based on my understanding, see below. Radiation - no effect on urinary leakage, sexual function initially preserved but wanes for most, limited options for salvage - if cancer recurs treatment is palliative/non curative, long term radiation damage to bladder

Next Move?
Briefly, I had Radical
Prostatectomy
in February of 2018, ADT with Salvage Radiation ending in September of 2019 and undetectable PSA until August of 2022 when it increased to .09, then .12 in October, and .22 in December. Finally, .34 in March 2023.

prostatectomy
is about the worst mistake of my life. If the surgery is not necessary, do not do it

Difficult decision before a robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy planned for March
The Urological surgeon said the team review recommended the lymph node be removed during
prostatectomy
. Given the 8 mm lung nodule was a false alarm I thought maybe the 6mm lymph node is also a false alarm.

I could use some advice in Tennessee
I had pretty much decided in 2017 to immediately have the Davinci robotic assisted
prostatectomy
should Gleason score show aggressiveness. They have me schedule for surgery on 3/29. The Vanderbilt surgeon recommended Lymph Node Disection.

For those on Lupron experiencing fatigue…
I have been on intermittent Lupron for over ten years after biological reoccurrence after robotic
prostatectomy
. Fortunately it has worked well to keep my psa in check but fatigue and general loss of stamina has kept me from engaging in many physical activities I used to enjoy.

ART Favorable Prognosis Adjuvant Androgen Deprivation Therapy A-ADT after Radiotherapy
I had sRT with a PSA of 0.13; my Dr considered this to be BCF (biochemical failure) given my pathology; I have always looked at my treatment as aRT as my PSA was not higher than 0.20, 6 weeks post RP (
prostatectomy
).
