Lithium and PCa
My own story: forty years on lithium for manic depression, diagnosed with PCa through elevated PSA,
prostatectomy
followed by eight years of annual PSA tests below 1 while continuing lithium; discontinued lithium to treat parathyroid, four months later PSA over 500, diagnosis Stage 4 PCa, resumed lithium

waiting but anxious
had
prostatectomy
on 9/22. They found cancer is the biopsy’s taken of a lymph node and other tissue taken out. Took a 6 month shot of lupron. Discontinued lupron. Too many side affects. I have not had a detectable psa score since surgery.

Xtandi (enzalutamide) alone is superior to ADT alone at preventing metastases in "high-risk" recurrent men
"High-Risk"recurrence was defined as men who have had primary therapy (
prostatectomy
or radiation) but have had rising PSA but no detectable (on bone scan/CT) metastases yet and T≥150 ng/dl, and: • PSA doubling time ≤ 9 months, or • PSA≥ 1 ng/ml post-
prostatectomy
, or • PSA≥ nadir+2 ng/ml post-primary

Bone scan at low PSA
I had a
prostatectomy
in May, 2012 (age 62 ,PSA7, GS 4+3=7) , SRT in June 2018 (PSA.22). My PSA went to undetectable after surgery and my nadir was .05 after SRT. On both occasions my PSA stayed down at those levels for years followed by a slow rise.

Recent diagnosis
I have been advised to have a radical
prostatectomy
and am going in this direction, given my age, the possibility of having radiotherapy if I need it in the future and that it should hopefully be a cure. I am concerned about ED and incontinence and have already started Kegel exercises.

I have a radical prostatectomy coming up in two weeks and I have lots of questions.
Is it possible to speak directly with someone who has gone through this process? The more I can visualize before surgery, the less anxious I will be. First-hand experience would help tremendously. Thank you.

Radical
prostatectomy
was done in May 2022. Biopsy showed no spreading and, for now, I am cancer free. 99% continence regained 3 months post surgery. 1 year post surgery....0% return of erections. The last many years of my married life has had a very little sexual content.

Starting my prostate cancer journey after radical prostatectomy. Looking for info, suggestions or recommendations on future treatments.
I had radical
prostatectomy
with lymph node dissection on 12/1/2022. I am on the road to recovery. The pathology report showed 60-70 % of prostate involved by tumor with extraprostatic extension present, non focal.

low urine stream
I’m 12 weeks out or
prostatectomy
. I’m still experiencing a low urine stream. Not incontinent but difficulty voiding. Is this typical or unusual this far out?

Prostatectomy
May 2018; Radiation April-June 2019; Chemotherapy August-December 2019. Was on Firmagon (monthly) and bicalutamide until April 2021 when oncologist suggested I go off it as my PSA was undetectable. Bloodwork every month. Started to rise this summer. it is now 0.30.
