First detectable PSA result
I am about 1 year out from my prostatectomy. I've been checking my PSA every month at the same lab and every month it's been < 0.02 ng/ml. Today it was 0.02 ng/ml without the "less than" sign. The response I've seen before to other patients who have had this kind of result is usually "oh, wait until

PSMA pet scan
Has anyone had a Pylarify (PSMA) pet scan showing no prostate cancer spread but knew that you had some metastasis in at least one lymph node (seen in an older scan and confirmed by biopsy). I know that there are people who are PSMA negative...not sure if my husband is one. He has had a prostatectomy,

Age 52. T3bN2M1b with two bone mets. PSA only 5.45. Confused, scared, father of two, need some support and encouragement.
Hello everyone. You can probably remember your first time discovering this website and your very first post. Perhaps a lot like mine. I'm 52 and recently diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. I had no symptoms. My doctor was tracking my PSA (3.58 in 2022 rising to 5.46 in 2024). Here's the problem

Sexual function after prostatectomy
Hello all, trying to see if I can get some answers from folks in the trenches instead of winks and nods I get from the docs. Im 55 had prostatectomy in 11/15/23, gleason 9 in one core with a 1mm positive margin. Gleason 7 in two other cores, and disease only in 1/2 of prostate. Had resection in lymphnodes

Update to recent post "At 0.033 lesion identified by Pylarify PSMA PET"
Continuing on my patient-directed path of precision medicine investigation, scheduling second opinion of this imaging finding, an appropriate liver MRI and lesion biopsy. Note, it is possible this lesion is not prostate cancer, it may be something else of concern, maybe benign. Wish to share I remain

help after a prostatectomy
hi I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in march of 2023 Gleason 3+4. went to Mayo Az for a robotic prostatectomy. Had a great surgeon he did a bilateral nerve sparring surgery in Dec of same year. Erectile dysfunction and Incontinence were my greatest fear and I have both. It’s been a roller coaster

Am I headed for Radiation
hello all. Wishing the best to everyone. Just a quick question that I think I know the answer to. After RP in June 2023 pathology was Gleason 4~3 with SVI, clear margins, lymph node dissection negative, prostate 30% involved. First PSA test all at quest was an ultra sensitive post prostatectomy test

AS or sext step(s) suggestions.
Solitary enhancing nodule left prostate bed. Neg PSMA PET x 3 over two year period. Visible on 3 MRIs. Size seems stable but slowly rising PSA. Current PSA 0.35. Considering Bx before RT decision vs continuing AS. If Bx may do another Decipher. Initial decipher 0.69 high risk. Robotic prostatectomy

Dad's Next Treatment?
Hi everyone. This would be my first post here, I am feeling stumped and lost and I'm not sure what to do. For context, dad has the BRCA positive mutation gene. My dad (56) is experiencing a lot of bone pain for the past 4 weeks. He has been through Leuprolide acetate, Lu-177, Olaparib (Lynparza), Abiraterone

Rise in PSA
Hello everyone, I am 72 and have been on active surveillance for prostate cancer since I was diagnosed in August 2021 but probably had it prior to my first MRI in 2020. I have had 2 biopsies and 5 MRI's and countless PSA tests. The first bx showed 3 cores at 3+3 and 2 cores suspicious, confirmatory bx

Is this decision right for me
I had a PSMA pet scan on 7/16/2024. The result shows a single tumor in my left lung measuring 8mm. My MO wants me to have the tumor radiated and monitor the PSA and its doubling time. A little background, I'm just short of 83 years old. I had prostatectomy in 2009, PSA undetectable until 2017. I had

I had a Prostatectomy in July 2020. My PSA was a 5.0 and my Gleason was 3+4. Cancer did not penetrate outer wall of gland. Decipher score was 64. Did Kegels and PT for incontinence....nothing helped and today still very much incontinent. In May 2022 my PSA began to steadily rise from undetectable for

Gleason 9 prostate cancer
Hello - my husband has aggressive gleason 9 prostate cancer. He had a prostatectomy in August 2015 but his psa remained high, suggesting it had already left the prostate. He then had IMRT to his pelvic area and was started on Zoladex adt (3monthly injections). He became castrate resistant so abiraterone

Looking for friends who have gone through prostate cancer
It's been 10 years since I had my prostatectomy. I was 57 at the time and it was a robotic surgery which fortunately saved my sexual nerves. As you all know nothing is the same after surgery. I now live in Florida. When I lived in Manhattan there was a rather large support group and I had developed

Looking for vitamin C infusions in Perth, Western Australia without glutathione?
Dear all Vitamin C infusions were tremendously helpful for my Dad in 2017 when he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and underwent a prostatectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Now trying to find them again. Those I have found include glutathione which I think is not good with cancer.
