Month 5 of ORGOVYX
After
radical
prostatectomy
and radiation treatment, I’m now on ORGOVYX and my testosterone has decreased from 672 to 11. I’ll be coming off the medication in one month. If anyone has used ORGOVYX, do you stop cold turkey or is there a tapering off of the drug? Thank you.

Abiraterone, Prednisone, Apalutamide combo Improves Prostate Cancer Outcomes, Leaves HRQoL Unaffected
Oncological outcomes improved with the addition of abiraterone acetate (Zytiga) plus prednisone (AAP) and apalutamide (Erleada) after
radical
prostatectomy
and did not significantly affect health-related quality of life.

10-year update still shows no benefit to ART vs early SRT
ART
= adjuvant radiation therapy, within 6 months after
radical
prostatectomy
(RP)
early SRT
= salvage radiation therapy, after PSA ≥ 0.1ng/ml or 3 consecutive rises. Median was 0.2 ng/ml. Median 1 ½ years after RP.

Effect of Age on Treatment Outcomes
The opposite is true for
radical
prostatectomy
(RP) treatment. Namely, the older you are, the worse the outcome is after RP. https://www.redjournal.org/article/S0360-3016(23)07930-0/fulltext

PSA rising after salvage treatment
I had a
radical
prostatectomy
in 2021 followed by salvage radio therapy. My psa levels have been rising slowly since then and I wondered if there was any advice as to what it might mean and if there is anything I should be doing at this point?

Is it PSA recurrence or not...
My friend had a
radical
prostatectomy
a year ago. Since then his monthly PSA results were stable, at 0.006 3 months ago his PSA went from 0.006 to 0.012, then the next month to 0.029. His MO wanted to see the third month's results in order to consider salvage radiation therapy.

help for arousal incontinence
I'm 58 and had a nerve-sparing
radical
prostatectomy
9 weeks ago. My recovery has gone fairly smoothly - I had no stress urinary incontinence after the catheter came out and haven't really needed pads, and my erections are slowly starting to recover (been taking Cialis 20mg/day).

"While prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET may improve diagnostic accuracy in suspected prostate cancer, it may not be accurate enough to skip the biopsy when considering
prostatectomy

Suddenly Urinary Leakage just walking around, then I have to push / strain to urinate, PSA rising, prostatectomy leakage resolved

Failed RP & SRT; Negative PSMA PET
I had a
radical
prostatectomy
that failed and then salvage radiation therapy that appears to have failed as well. A recent PSMA PET scan showed no signs of recurrent prostate cancer or metastases.

Prostate cancer radiotherapy side effects.
I’m a seventy seven year old who had a
radical
prostatectomy
eight years ago. Following one of my regular PSA tests the result showed, after scans in September 2023, a return in the prostate bed and adjacent lymph nodes.

ADT and bone health
I have been on ADT after
radical
Prostatectomy
for over 14 months and to date aside from the sexual libido loss I have had very little side effects. I have always been a health / exercise buff & continue to exercise everyday to maintain my mental & physical health and so far very good results.
