Xtandi and price tag
Hi, I just had radical
prostatectomy
3/23. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with EPE. I started on Firmagon and my doctor ordered Xtandi. My question is …how can anyone afford Xtandi? My copay is 3300 dollars, more than my SS check.

Potential biochemical recurrence post radical prostatectomy, looking for perspective on the outcomes and treatments.
63-year old Male, months shy of 5-year mark of the radical
prostatectomy
, showed PSA of .08 in January then .07 in March. Originally had up to Gleason 9’s. I know it’s not technically a recurrence until .2, and doubling time is the next variable to look out for.

daily diarrhea 3 years after radiation...?
I had 37 radiation treatments to my pelvic area in 2019 after having a radical
prostatectomy
9 months previous to that. Has anyone had the same experience? I did have a colonoscopy about a year and a half ago and the results were that I had enlarged blood vessels or internal hemorrhoids.

Any bad experiences with AUS’s, especially re sex?

Intermediate favorable vs. unfavorable Gleason 7 acc.to 2 doctors + CLEAN PSMA, do we need third opinion +where? (Green Bay/Milwaukee areas)
You should know my husband is opposed to doing a radical
prostatectomy
and is pretty dead-set against ADT so when the cancer is treated we are leaning towards brachytherapy.

PSA Ultrasensitive 0.015 six months after prostatectomy
3 month PSA was <0.1, but that was not ultra sensitive. How worried should I be? Next steps? Urologist wants to see what the 9-month PSA test looks like, and to get a second Decipher genetic test. (I had one prior to surgery.) Pathology from surgery showed margins were positive, but Gleason score

What’s the pros and cons of Casodex and Lupron as the only treatment for Gleason 4+5 (9).
Urologist wanted to do a radical
prostatectomy
. I chose to change my diet, exercise and lifestyle to a plant-based detox from chemicals in my food and in my house. My PSA went from 13.7 to 100 in one year. It metastasized to my pelvic area and seminal vessel.

Now for something completely different
I will be on my way to University Hospital London for a Radical
Prostatectomy
on Weds. Yes, I've had to learn a new lexicon of terms and medical knowledge. Whilst for the last few months I have been an observer of comments and post rather than a contributor.

Cytoreductive Prostatectomy & Oligometastatic PCa.
“The oncologic outcomes of cytoreductive
prostatectomy
(CRP) in oligometastatic prostate cancer (OmPCa) are still controversial. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the oncologic outcome of CRP in OmPCa.”

ART NIH Predicting the Outcome of Salvage Radiation Therapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
Median Time to MET - An estimated 25% of patients treated with radical
prostatectomy
(RP) for clinically localized prostate cancer will suffer recurrence of their disease. In the absence of salvage therapy (sRT), the median time from PSA recurrence to distant metastasis is 8 years. 2.

! (No other treatments. Declined Pelvic Radiation 10 years ago.)

Options for Recurrent PCa w/ RT Initial Therapy
Have read about these options:
Prostatectomy
/Brachytherapy/Cystoprostatectomy/Cryotherapy Anybody have any knowledge or studies that might suggest a direction? Still hoping for the possibility of a cure and avoid the ADT train awhile.

RP was 10 weeks ago. Still leaking, but i see some improvement. Next appointment is in 2 weeks. At the last appointment 2 weeks after the surgery, surgeon tells me we can discuss going back on Androgel in a year. Prior to the surgery, I had told him I expected to go back on Androgel. I plan to tell

Bleeding after salvage radiation
Had radical
prostatectomy
12/21. Salvage radiation about 11 mos ago. Currently about one year into Lupron + Abiraterone + prednisone. Recently experienced very mild rectal and/or blood in stool. Is this likely due to the radiation, or something else?
