Info about docetaxel
I have been at Stage 4 for 7 1/2 years. and a succession of Xtandi, Nubequa, and Zytega along with Lupron has kept my
PSA
under two although each has eventually failed (
PSA
quickly rising above 1.0).

Anyone out there try the carnivore diet.
Eligard and Erleada have got my
PSA
down from 195 down to 0.01. I have been watching a lot of YouTube video's touting the health benefits of a carnivore diet. So far the only prostate diet person posting video's on YouTube that I am familiar with is Guy Tannenbaum but he is basically a vegan .

5 aRIs and PCa and recurrence.
I’m recurrent in prostate bed with three negative PSMA PET scans and essentially unchanged size of enhancing nodule over 18 months on three MRIs DUT and FIN began when
PSA
reached 0.36. In six weeks dropped to 0.26 after beginning DUT and FIN. they are affecting sensitivity of the PSMA scans.

Positive medical check update April 2024
Blood values are all very ok,
PSA
undetectable, Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and PSMA Pet/CT and ultra sound clean, no recurrence, no metastases. I’m more than thankful and will continue with exercises, mediation and diet.

4th line palliative systemic options?
Monthly
PSA
blood work is done and this month
PSA
jumped to 29. Oncologist is sending hubby for another Bone and CT scan. She has suggested either abiraterone, clinical trials or cabazitaxel. He was on Xtandi for 15 months, then Chemo and last treatment was Radium 223.

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has
PSA
from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER,
PSA
up to 1.85 on 1/29/24. Disappointing to say the least I see MO next week and presume we start the Plarify scan to identify source and possibly more radiation to kill it.

Chemo or no/not yet?
PSA
hit 366 before starting Abiraterone and Degarelix. Start Lupron next week. Negative on DNA test. Will see what
PSA
looks like next week after a month of ADT. My question chemo, no chemo or wait on chemo? Onco and Rad Onco both seemed to have a very soft attitude towards it.

Castration by Estrogen Patch
This plot shows a dramatic decrease in testosterone and
PSA
after starting estrogen patch therapy, indicating that transdermal estrogen (TDE) therapy effectively castrates men, and with fewer side effects than Lupron ADT.

How long on Prostap?
Gleeson 4+3 but
PSA
only ever up to 10. I have had four PSMA scans which show 8 metastases in skull, ribs, pubic bone, hip bone. These continue to grow. I have been on Aberiterone/prednisolone, plus Prostap every 3 months.

Stopping Orgovyx after six months
He had a PT ten years ago but his
PSA
rose so he got salvage radiation and went on Orgovyx. His MO said he would be on it for 18 months, as is SOC. He didn't like his MO so he switched to a GU MO. That MO said the research showed six months of ADT was enough. Has anybody heard of this? I haven't.

bone Mets!
PSA
was undetectable for years, then .1 and .2, which triggered the order for the scan. The PA told him he has 1-2years, but the oncologist tells us it’s “not entirely bad news” and that depending on therapies, he might have more time than that.

lupron vacation
My
PSA
has been undetectable since last November. I asked my OC about going on a lupron vacation and he said it would be fine now to try it. Just wondering if any of you have experienced this and how long before you had to go back on lupron.

Dutssteride increases PSA Doubling Time by 2X for men with PSA Failure.
These two Kaplan-Meier plots compare Dutasteride (0.5 mg/day) to Placebo in a randomized, double-blind trial from 2012 of 187 men who have progressed to
Failure. In the upper plot, Dutasteride increases the
Doubling Time
from, for example, 9 months to 18 months (factor of 2X).
