Why Erleada after Lupron doesn't work and PSA is 24 with no signs of cancer? anywhere after all scans negative.

PSA is 24...and now on Erlaeda Chemo pills for 2 1/2 months and feeling fatigue he has never felt. All other scans show no cancer anywhere so does anyone have any thoughts

Questions about Starting HDT
I am doing the research and getting ready to start HDT. I understand that it is important to balance the other B vitamins. Can you recommend a brand of B vitamins? How do you know how much you need to take to establish the correct balance? My symptoms are fluctuating these days. Once I start

Wit's end! Switch Levo brands, try NDT again, be patient with different dosage?
Dear wise and helpful friends, On 13 Dec. my labs were the best ever and on 31 Jan. they changed again, with TSH too high etc. I’m putting them next to each other: TSH: 4.80 -- range is 0.20 – 5.00 -- then TSH : 5.99 - FT3: 4.10 – range is 1.8 – 4,5 -- then FT3: 5,12 FT4: 10.01 – range is 7.0

PSMA in circulating tumor cells is a new poor prognostic marker for castration-resistant PCa - Plos One - Published: January 27, 2020
From the sudy Introduction: [i]"More than 90% of patients with metastatic treatment-naive prostate cancer initially respond to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, most patients eventually progress to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which is then treated with sequential therapy [

Catheter burning.
Four days out from a Robotic radical prostatectomy at MD Anderson. Large tumor on right side. I have a catheter and the tip of my penis burns and has since the surgery. Urine is a clear and I see no signs of infection. Is this normal and to be expected for the next 10 days?

Retrograde Ejaculation
Has anyone else had problems with retrograde ejaculation after a radical prostatectomy? I was prescribed Flomax, but I think that only makes it worse. After orgasm I feel like I have a urinary tract infection and have to pee small amounts of urine every 10 minutes, sometimes for hours! I had my prostatectomy

Free PSA & Biochemical Recurrence
New study below [1]. I doubt that many in the group who know their PSA level also know their percent free PSA [%fPSA]. Some might remember their %fPSA before diagnosis. A %fPSA <25 meant that there was a high risk of PCa. With a high %fPSA, one might skip the biopsy. However, in the setting of biochemical

RP v. RT ... yet again
New Canadian study below [1]. It's a divisive topic. Studies show that men are more likely to opt for RT (radiation therapy) if they first go to an oncologist, whereas men are more likely to opt for RP (radical prostatectomy) if they first see a urologist. There are bias allegations against urologists

What to do next for treatment
I have prostate cancer which started over 3 years ago, I did chemo and lupron which seemed to work great for couple of years then PSA started going up like to 122. I must mention that I have the BRCA 2 gene which makes my cancer somewhat aggressive. My onc put me on Xtandi which worked for 7-8 mos but

Does radiation/brachytherapy prevent my use of insulin pump, which radiation can damage?
Do I need to be concerned with radiation impacts on my insulin pump after prostate-area radiation treatment? I’m diabetic and use a Medtronic 670 hybrid insulin pump with a separate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor/transmitter. To prevent radiation damage to pump and CGM transmitter, I remove
