Further treatment - Update
I had biopsy 03.09.07 (Gleason score 3+7) and prostatectomy 10.11.07. PSA started to rise soon after. Since then I have had radiation and been more or less on Zoladex injections the whole time. I started Xtandi in April 2019 and switched to Nubeqa December 2021. The PSA started to rise in fall 2021

PSA Doubling Time
I suspect there are many ways to calculate PSA ‘doubling time’ but I seem to have a bit of a head scratcher. Have had a prostatectomy, radiation, Zolodex and finished 8 months of degarelix end of Aug. By 25 Oct my PSA was 0.44. On 15 Dec it was 1.99 and 18 days later on 03 Jan it was 2.84. By my Oncologist

Difficult decision before a robot assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy planned for March
PSA 3.4. Gleason 7. MRI and biopsy diagnosed prostate carcinoma left lobe. In December 22 a PET/CT (238MBq F-18 PSMA) found moderate grade uptake involving the left peripheral zone of my prostate gland consistent with the known carcinoma and lower grade uptake involving the right lobe of my prostate

Older vs Younger
i get people in their 70’s telling me at 49 that i did the right thing in having my prostate removed. My quality of life is zero. I found out my Urologist lied to me. Doing the prostatectomy is about the worst mistake of my life. If the surgery is not necessary, do not do it

They are, of course, offering me a choice between
radical
prostatectomy
and
radical
radiation + hormone therapy. I am aware of all of the likely and possible side effects of both treatments.

Good news to share!
After
radical
prostatectomy
, chemo clinical trial, and radiation during 2001-2002, I watched my psa do its long slow climb. I began Lupron injections about five years ago. The number dropped to about 0.84, then began another long slow climb.

considering Treatment Options
My urologist and oncologist have laid out what they present as 3 equally viable options,
radical
prostatectomy
, radiation (external or seed) and active monitoring. They have told me that my case is a low to moderate risk case.

Night spasms
I had bowel cancer in May last year and had a hemi-colectomy that was straight forward and needed no further treatment. Nine weeks after that operation I was told that they had found another cancer on the bowel they removed. This turned out to be Low grade serous ovarian cancer. I had a Radical hysterectomy

Gut Microbiome, ADT & Doxycycline
In recent years there has been increased awareness of the importance of the gut microbiome for good health. I stopped Minocycline when I decided to give Akkermansia a try. It's been a while since my Akkermansia supply ran out. I have just begun using Doxycycline & pondering the implications. One

Sapphire Clinics medical cannabis
Has anyone looked into this at all? I mean specifically Sapphire Clinics for medical cannabis. Someone just suggested it to me to help with pain management. I have painful osteoarthritis in my back and hips now on top of the PMR. It looks as if these people will supply it to you now as a medication

Update and Plan - 52 and new prostate CA dx.
Mike is choosing to have the
radical
prostatectomy
, the surgeon has done over 4000 robotic assisted RPs. He was very optimistic and believes that he has an excellent chance at never having a recurrence in his lifetime - 90% chance that there will not be a recurrence.
