What’s the pros and cons of Casodex and Lupron as the only treatment for Gleason 4+5 (9).
Urologist wanted to do a
radical
prostatectomy
. I chose to change my diet, exercise and lifestyle to a plant-based detox from chemicals in my food and in my house. My PSA went from 13.7 to 100 in one year. It metastasized to my pelvic area and seminal vessel.

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I then needed to make a decision on
radical
prostatectomy
or
radical
radiotherapy. Officially, both were treated equally. My initial thoughts had been on RP rather than RT. However, after investigating the options in more detail, I decided on the radiotherapy.

Second add on Cancer Care of Excellence Medical Oncologist will decide based on new PSA as of today and MRI, possibly with more test… Davinci

Bleeding after salvage radiation
Had
radical
prostatectomy
12/21. Salvage radiation about 11 mos ago. Currently about one year into Lupron + Abiraterone + prednisone. Recently experienced very mild rectal and/or blood in stool. Is this likely due to the radiation, or something else?

Newly detectable PSA after prostatectomy: RT + ADT planned; add Erleada?
Radical
prostatectomy
with extended lymph node dissection in Mar 2022. Gleason 4+5, +cribriform, +intraductal, + bilat SVI, +ECE. Margins negative (barely) and 1/34 lymph nodes positive with very small focus of cancer. PSA was undetectable until Jun 2023, then 0.05, 0.06, 0.07 over 2 months.

Shingles vaccination and PCa progression?
Gleason score 9 (4+5)
Radical
Prostatectomy
2017 > BCR 2019 SRT 8 weeks + Firmagon 6 injections (over 6 months). G 9 recurrence is inevitable (as we all know) so I am scared to take the Shingles vaccine. Any one above age 50 that the PCP recommend the 2 shots of this vaccine? Thank you Ralph

ART NIH Predicting the Outcome of Salvage Radiation Therapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
Median Time to MET - An estimated 25% of patients treated with
radical
prostatectomy
(RP) for clinically localized prostate cancer will suffer recurrence of their disease. In the absence of salvage therapy (sRT), the median time from PSA recurrence to distant metastasis is 8 years. 2.

Update to: "Newly detectable PSA after prostatectomy: RT + ADT planned; add Erleada?"
In my case, Erleada has known efficacy for hormone sensitive metastatic PCa, and it is reasonably likely that I have micro metastatic disease due to Gleason 4+5, complex pathology (intraductal, cribriform pattern), and a positive lymph node discovered at
radical
prostatectomy
/lymph node dissection.

Waiting for PSA Rise Post-Surgery Before Obtaining PSMA-PET– waiting too long can put some patients at risk, MedPage Today, July 6, 2023.
They adjusted for age, year of

, established prostate cancer prognostic factors, institution, and the time-dependent use of androgen-deprivation therapy.

He's been given a lot of information to read and he will be meeting with his care team again soon to decide on a treatment plan - the treatment options being considered are active surveillance, radiotherapy/hormones, focal therapy, and robotic

Low psa, but have pca
Even though it's a Gleason 6, urologist at top teaching hospital in Philadelphia says I need a
radical
prostatectomy
soon because the PSA is low, (0.7), he says this means the cancer could be clone or rebel cancer cells and they don't give off the antigen to elevate the PSA, but they could be aggressive

About Radiation After Radical Prostatectomy
Do Physicians only recommend radiation for non metastatic men? and only recently in Oligo metastatic patients? Do they use radiation as a tool to bring psa down in metastatic men? and or radiation is only used as palliative for bones and pain? My apologies, If I’m not processing this thoroughly

Leakage with Sex
I had
radical
prostatectomy
5 years ago. I have urine leakage with sex. (known as "climacturia"). My doctors have suggested a few possible fixes including surgical implants like a "sling", an "artificial sphincter" and a couple of other options.

PSA on the rise

and radiation in 2013. PSA has gone from 0 to 0.41. What’s likely to happen? Thanks.

Erection return
For those who have experienced
radical
prostatectomy
, my question is about the return of erectile function. I realize it may never come back. Or it may come back but it could take up to 2 years. I am doing penis pumping once to twice daily. I am taking daily sildenafil.
