Third PSMA PET indicator may be approved by FDA
In a clinical trial, it was able to find prostate cancer metastases in 71% of men with post-
prostatectomy
PSA between 0.2-0.5 ng/ml, which is about 50% greater than the detection rate of the two currently approved PSMA PET indicators.

Orchiectomy or ADT
I'm 80 years old with ED since my
prostatectomy
. Both surgery an radiation have failed to cure my PC so, I find myself at a fork in the road.

Two Years Ago Today
Two years ago today I was sitting alone in a hotel room waiting to have my
Prostatectomy
at 6:am the next day. COVID was rampant, my wife was not even allowed in the hospital with me.

ADT and radiation
I had a radical
prostatectomy
on 1/28/22. It was partial nerve sparing. My Gleason score was 7 (4+3). I was very fit going into surgery and recovery has mostly been going well. The only issue I have is that I still have ED. My erections are at about 50% with no aids.

Inconclusive lesion of rib
He was Gleason 4+4 down graded to 4+3 after
prostatectomy
in February. Pathology did note cribriform glands present. Stage 3tb as there is seminal vesicle invasion but no other concerns in the post op pathology.

5 Challenges to Conventional Wisdom in Prostate Cancer
1- The rapid growth of prostate cancer treatment is not driving increased survival. 2- Gleason score 6 is not prostate cancer. 3- PSA-based screening does not save lives. 4- Prostate cancer surgery for localized prostate cancer does not improve survival. 5- Robotic
prostatectomy
has never been properly

Postoperative or Salvage Proton Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
On 3/12/2021, this paper was published in the National Center for Biotechology Information. It is worth considering carefully following BCR. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8019576/

Two and a half years after my robotic
prostatectomy
(nerve sparing on left side only) and numerous discussions with my urologist that none of the pills, pumps or rubber accessories work, he prescribed Trimix. Doc gave me 5 ml in his office to teach me how to use it.

Prostatectomy with pre-ADT?
I have grade 5+3 PCa, biopsy showed 3 cores cancerous, one indeterminate, one 4+3, one 5+3, all on right side. A recent MRI showed 'something' on the other side too, not caught by biopsy. I am strongly leaning toward removal because I do not want to deal with 1-2 years of recommended hormone therapy

Questions on treatment?
Since I was opened up so do the radical
prostatectomy
about 3 years ago my PSA has stayed at <.01 with treatment. It started at 212 PSA at the beginning. When I got COVID last year and spent 35 days in the hospital I was without treatment for around 3 months.

Stagnant Condition.
I've had a
prostatectomy
followef by salvage radiation due to a rising PSA. Initially, the salvage radiation worked and PSA was undetectable. However, a few months passed and my PSA steadily rose at a quite rapid rate doubling about every three months to .8 before stabilizing.

Radical Robotic Prostatectomy vs. Radiation and hormone treatment. That is my question. Stage 2. Aggressive Tumor.
Should I consider Cyberknife ? I am in a real quandary about which way to go.

Prostate Cancer Foundation : ADT: What You Really Need to Know .. "Who should not get ADT? "
If you just have a rising PSA after radiation therapy or radical
prostatectomy
, that is not a good enough reason for a doctor to put you on ADT. If your doctor wants to put you on ADT to “shrink your prostate” before brachytherapy, that’s not a good enough reason."
