Numb feet
Hi I have
PSa
and get very painful toes and other feet pain. My only question as I take all an sundry pills for all the issues I have is does anyone else get the numbness of their feet? it normally starts at the toes and then works back along the underside of my feet. Its most strange.

Just had Psma-pet scan... Confused
Understandably, my
PSA
at the time was 480. After 1 year on ADT and 8 months of Xtandi another Axium showed mets in calvarial region (skull), neck and clavicle no longer present...
PSA
plummeted down to current and holding at around 2.

Radium-223 + Xtandi?
PSA
went from 1.3 in Jan 2023 to 11.7 this month. CT and Bone scans show bone mets somewhat stable but with activity, all bone no soft tissue. PET PSMA earlier this year did not show enough tracer activity to indicate Lutetium-177 (available at UC Davis, CA with long lead time).

Anomaly PSA jump of more than 25%?
I am not happy with husband's doctor as I pushed to have PSMA-PET done after this jump (before this last
PSA
there was 6 years of stable
PSA
following RT w/o ADT), but both husband and doctor said, wait.

Continue on Eclipse Trial or not?
After my 3rd LU 177I&T injection my
PSA
had become nondetectable, and the nuclear bone scans could did not shiw any tumors. Originally had three tumors for spine two very small and one medium. They seem to have disappeared.

Change in Carcinoma
My
PSA
started raising again in 2021. I opted for high dose brachytherapy and my
PSA
is 0.1. This year I had difficulty urinating and recently had a procedure similar to a TURP to remove tissue in my urethra near my prostate. This procedure has been successful.

PSA increasing during radiation treatment
Can
PSA

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.

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?

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.

New 2024 AUA/ASTRO/SUO Guidelines for Salvage Therapy
I think they should recommend adjuvant ADT at a
PSA
≥0.35 instead of ≥0.7 because I think patients are hoping for curative SRT and not just equivalent survival.
