Cured after LU177
My brother-in-law had prostate cancer in his bones with a
PSA
in the hundreds. He went to Germany and had two treatments of LU177. He came back to the US, had a scan, and says he is now cured. Is that possible?

hip or hernia pain
I have a diagnosis of
psa
and am prescribed Taltz. I have had right side groin pain for 18 months. Extensive testing has shown mild degenerative changes in my hip joint and an osteophyte. Ortho consultant doesn’t believe this is the source of the pain. An indirect inguinal hernia has been found.

11 months of vacatión and going strong, I think
I plan to return to ADT when
PSA
reaches 6, then go back on vacatión once I get my
PSA
back down to point one. This will hopefully get me to 80 and beyond.

Please share your experiences with Provenge. What’s it like getting the injections and what are your results?
I started the Eclipse clinical trial three weeks ago with
PSA
of 3.3 and am authorized for up to four treatments. My plan is to start Provenge after the trial is over. What do you guys think about this?

Need advice- MO recommending radiation. From the wording in the PSMA scan it sounds like a shot in the dark.
The wording in the scan sounds to me like it’s not sure that this is cause of his rising
PSA
. Why subject him to radiation if not sure? I’m just not sure what even to ask. Is radiation called for? I Btw, thought the MO had ordered the scan prematurely.

BP with abiraterone + prednisone, eplerenone, dexamethasone
I have been on Lupron and abiraterone with (initially) prednisone for 4.5 years, which has maintained my
PSA
at <0.1 since 111 at diagnosis. I have all the usual side effects. One that doesn't bother me day-to-day, but definitely concerns me, is hypertension.

Casodex after castration resistance?
After being undetectable on mono HT (Zoladex) for 67 months my dad's
PSA
started climbing in December 2022. In March it was 0.05. His testosterone level also rose from 0.6 to 1.2. The doctor recommended to add Casodex. After a month, in April his
PSA
was 0.024 and testosterone was 0.9.

Gleason score 8 and lots of questions...
PSA
7 after a reading of 4 just four months prior. My biopsy results graded out at a Gleason of 8 (4+4) on three of the twelve cores taken and 7 on one other (out of twelve). So a Gleason of 8 overall.

Xtandi vs. Biktarby advice needed.
I received my second Lupron injection last week even though there's a slight
PSA
increase from .83 to 1.10 (they did not do a testosterone test, wich was climbing again) Oncologist mentioned we could start Xtandi but also suggested to wait for my next month labs and see what's
PSA
doing.

Chemo may be helping
After 2 rounds, my
PSA
dropped 4.7 points. TBH, I feel like crap today, but the results are promising. My blood work also showed low cortisol levels, how concerned should I be about that? Thanks.

April 2023 Update
My

was <0.01 and my T was <0.02 in October 2022. I had blood tests in April 2023 (after 6 months) and my
PSA
was <0.01 and my T had risen to 4. My Oncologist wants
PSA
tests every six months and will only intervene if the
PSA
rises to 2.0.

Xgeva side effects?????
I'm on Trelstar and my
PSA
is < 0.04. In March of this year I started taking Erleada. The side effects from both drugs have been minimal, some hot flashes and fatigue. Two months ago my doctor started me on Xgeva. The first dose I felt no ill effects, but the next dose kicked my butt.

PSA on ADT but post EBRT
His
psa
in Oct 2022 (pre-radiation) had dropped from 6 to .24 and
psa
done a couple weeks ago (post radiation) was .02. Basically I’m wondering if
psa
at this point is any indicator of outcome or will we not know until he discontinues the adt treatment in August 2024?
