Should I consider Proton Therapy
I am 75 and otherwise in good shape, I had Radical
Prostatectomy
in 2015 now 2 years and 3 months later my PSA has been rising, presently on Hormone meds (Casodex) to reduce PSA then should I go with Radiation or the much greater expense (for lodging etc) and have Proton-therapy 350 miles away?

Looking for some guidance...
as a quick summary : he is Stage 4 (metastatic/involvement in two of the four lymph nodes that were harvested during the
prostatectomy
). Scans were clear (for bone mets/organs) as of July 21. He received his first injection of Eligard on Sept.27.

Decision time
One year ago I had a radical
prostatectomy
at Mayo Clinic in Rochester by a very accomplished surgeon. Had one lymph node that was cancerous and recent PSA was .20. Radiation therapy is option. Should I do this at Mayo or come back to local hospital where I am not certain about quality?

Testosterone Therapy & PCa Risk.
"All {9} men in the TRT group underwent radical

(RP), and all but 1 patient had a Gleason score of 6 or less. All had a predominant Gleason score of 3 and all had a tumor grade of G2 and tumor stage T2.

Sexual Activity after Prostatectomy
I've seen a number of questions related to anal intercourse after
prostatectomy
. Generally I see folks respond that waiting around six months is a good idea, to allow for healing. This got my attention the other day and I thought I'd post for reactions.

Positive surgical margin
Trying to gather information on anyone with a positive surgical margin after
prostatectomy
. My margin was 2 mm with a gleason 6. Should I opt for adjuvant radiation. I’m only 4 weeks out after surgery so I have not had a psa test done. Will get one at six week post op.

"De-bulking" prostate cancer
There has been a lot of controversy in the medical community about the value of performing a radical
prostatectomy
on a man who already has metastatic disease. Most surgeons wouldn't do it in the past but a number of studies reported that it helped.

Cancer remains after prostatectomy
I was a reasonably fit 52 year old guy when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in March this year 3TB Gleason of 9 and was operated on in May (open radical
prostatectomy
). Unfortunately after the operation I was told that I still had cancer (lymph, base and apex) and told I was 'still high risk'.

just got biopsy back-and prostatectomy recomended
at first ,was glad to hear gleason score was just at 3+4=7,but than after discussion with Dr Mian realized that score was intermediate risk and being only 58-'cure' was the operative word. One problem,i have read hundreds of horror stories in regard to this procedure and I am leaning towards not doing

He already had
prostatectomy
in 2011 and Radiation in 2014. He begun taking zytga 1000mg a day plus the firmagon shot every 28 days. Has anybody been on this treatment and for how long? Do you stop soon after psa drops?

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
Similarly, advanced NAFLD appears to protect against biochemical recurrence [BCR] after radical
prostatectomy
. [2] "When NAFLD patients were stratified according to NAFLD fibrosis score, we found that the severity of fibrosis had significant correlation with BCR.

Post prostatectomy when to start having anal sex?
My doctor didn't talk about when I could start having anal sex again post
prostatectomy
. Any guidelines guys know about? Also, Gleason 8 with capsule and one seminal vesicle involved, nodes and metastatic screen negative. What does everyone think about radiation alone vs. hormone therapy.

Does A Plant-based Diet cure Cancer?
doing_wp_cron=1507859792.2476089000701904296875 Due to continued rise in PSA after
prostatectomy
and IMRT I gave up all booze (mainly red wine as beer was already off the menu) and red meat in mid-2016. I went fully vegetarian in Dec 2016.
