Final Path Report After RALP (Dad - 74, G7- 4+3) , what’s next ?
With the above should we be considering waiting on the
PSA
results or proactively consider ADT + Radiation as an option. We are now meeting a medical oncologist next week to go over these reports to understand next steps. Thank you again for your help.

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I'm based in the UK and had a
PSA
of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the NHS).

Abiraterone and food
My husband has been on Abiraterone for 2 months, during which time his
PSA
has doubled. I’ve recently read posts about the advantages of taking Abiraterone with food instead of taking it an hour before eating as recommended.

What Treatment - Or No Treatment Advice?
PSA
13.2. 14mm T2 tumour seemingly confined to left side of prostate - still awaiting biopsy and thus Gleason - HOLEP 11 years ago. - prostate 36cc. Considering average lifespan, and QOL issues of treatment what would be advised?

Latest PSA Unchanged
My latest
PSA
shows an unchanged value. I was hoping for a straight shot down to nadir after SBRT. Should this be of concern? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Best.

Another brother passes
He was DX'd at 85 with prostate cancer (
PSA
of 1200) behind his eye which spread to his brain. Failed ADT, chemo and Pluvicto. He was not on this forum. He was very active, skied 120 days a year, biked the rest. He and his wife went to Europe every year. One year to ski and the next to bike.

Firmagon vs. Lupron
PSA
undetectable, all scans negative. On Firmagon every 28 days. The last two shots I've had bad reactions. Chills and no sleep the day of the shot and flu like symptons for a week or so. My question is this: Would it be risky to switch to a six month Lupron shot instead of monthly Firmagon shots?

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.

Side Effects at 1 year
Current
PSA
.09 For past 3 weeks, I have noticed that I am experiencing what I believe are more severe side effects. Today, for the first time, I had to drop out of a Pickleball match because of how bad I was feeling. Took a Covid test which was negative.

After APCa treatment ends
A lot of folks will see their APCa treatment come to an end, hopefully due to good
PSA
levels and scans.

Locally Advanced PC - should I accept offer of docetaxel?
Future monitoring will keep an eye on signs of any subsequent rise in
PSA
and should that occur, I'd think again about treatment options and be prepared to have chemo then if deemed necessary.

CDK12 gene mutation
He is 17 months into treatment with undectable
psa
. If it were not for the jaw pain, we would be very encouraged. We are anxious to get the biopsy done on the jaw so we can know what we are dealing with.

I would like to update my dad's situation (type 4 prostate cancer and bone metastasis) - LIMA PERU
The medications you take: Omeprazole 7 AM Predisona at 8 AM Abiraterone at 11 AM (3 hours of fasting and 2 without eating until lunch) Note: Which lowered your
PSA
from 22 to 9 in 2 months. For 15 more days he has dropped to 4.13 but has raised his Transaladamide TGO TGP.
