Radiation Sessions
I am considering
proton
therapy
radiation for my DICS cancer found in the left breast. Six months ago, I had a dissection B - TAVAR for a torn aorta. I am very concerned about the radiation penetrating to heart and lungs.

Has anyone had

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

Experience, thus far with Lupron and Abiraterone
I am waiting for
proton
therapy
, which I understand would be sometime in June 2024. My overall treatment experience so far has been positive, if anything is positive about PCa.

Proton Therapy timeline question
For those who have had
proton
therapy
, what was your timeline? What period of time elapsed after you began ADT and had the simulation? And then, how long after that did the actual therapy begin?

treatment and insurance questions
To everyone's surprise the insurance company did approve
Proton
Therapy
- 2 of the radiologists I met with have nothing good to say about
Proton
Therapy
. The center that does
Proton
treatment here recently filed for bankruptcy and I'm pretty sure they are desperate for patients.

Proton Therapy
I just finished my second week of
Proton
Therapy
at the Univ. of Oklahoma Stephenson Cancer Center. Drinking liquids pass through me quick and I pee frequently now. Last night my left hip hurt some. Other than that I feel good...Onward!

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT EFFECTIVE SALVAGE TREATMENTS IN CASE OF A REOCCURRENCE IF YOU HAVE HAD SBRT,IMRT, WITH PLACEMENT OF GOLD BARS?
It appears that if you had SBRT or like myself IMRT and you were given
gold markers
you cannot do any of the following
salvage treatments in case of a reoccurrence
:
Proton
therapy
, Hifu, Tulsa Pro , Etc. Is this true???? Again a significant fact left out before treatment...

Use hormone therapy or not with Proton therapy
Hi All, Question, doctor is suggesting hormone
therapy
along with
proton
therapy
(28 treatments of radiation) my gleason score went from 3+3 to 4+3 last year and psa doubled from 10 to 20. I tried to get in to this study to determine the genetics of tumor but they said tumor sample was bad.

Lupron unjection not reducing PSA
Proton
Beam
Therapy
which I will do as soon as approved. The cancer is still contained in my prostate according to last Pet Scan last month. No I will not have it removed knowing what I know about recurrance.

Maca Root Supplement
I finished
Proton
Therapy
for Gleason 9 Prostate cancer on December 2, 2022. This included six months of androgen deprivation therapy that ended December 15, 2022. Is there any danger to my prostate if I begin taking Maca Root supplement?

Treatment Options
J: Prostate gland, right medial posterior base, biopsy: Benign prostatic tissue, no tumor I am leaning toward
Proton
therapy
(even though the science is unclear) and no Hormone Therapy.

Possible SBRT on prostate and lymph nodes?
Or,
proton
therapy
w/ADT. (Already signed up for consult w/
proton
@UFPTI/Jax) I'm wondering why not advise SBRT? Can SBRT also be used prophylactically on lymph nodes? I'm trying to do the least harmful treatment with the greatest benefits.

Specialty to start with?
I am 77 and if I do any treatments I would lean toward
proton
therapy
. I had an appointment with urologist at Penn Medicine, because my PCP suggested starting there. She recommended getting a biopsy. I can't have an MRI due to pacemaker.
