Castration resistance
Went through chemotherapy with docetaxel for 6 cycles, radiation of mets to my cervical vertebrae, ADT with Lupron of course and even a
radical
prostatectomy
(strange this was even offered and done with my stage). I started with a PSA of 54 and joined the zero PSA club in Jan 2018.

New Here and Glad I’ve found this Group – Anyone done Proton Therapy?
Intro Info – I’m 66 relatively good health, obviously gay. During a routine physical I had a slightly elevated PSA score of 4.3 so my primary care doctor recommended me to a Urologist. After some discussion we decided to do a biopsy. The result from the 12 cores was not what I wanted to hear. I was hoping

Medical marijuana
Hi! I’m 53 year old women with RLS. I weaned myself off requip in January, my symptoms weren’t that bad for awhile but lately they’re coming back and getting worse. I am so scared to go back on any type of medication that could cause augmentation. Has anyone here tried marijuana? Legal or illegal? I’

In Pursuit Of Restful Sleep And Help For Nocturia
One topic that seems to come up regularly on this forum is the issue of poor sleep or insomnia and it seems very common in PWP so I thought I would try another experiment to see if I could improve on my current sleep regimen and if I could, I wanted to share that information here on the forum.

My Polymyalgia journey so far
I am a 72yr old female who started with neck and shoulder pain in the spring of 2019 by June having difficulty sleeping due to pain. Went to doc's was told it was probably a little arthritis and to take Ibuprofen. I started to get pain in my ribs, unable to carry shopping, even sitting down was painful

PSA 3.12 after 3/17 radical prostatectomy. Future treatment thoughts?
I'm new to Advanced Prostate Cancer, moving "up" from Prostate Cancer Network due to recent pathology results after da Vinci
radical
prostatectomy
(RP) on March 17 in Spokane, WA, with Dr. Raymond Lance, who had more than 2,000 da Vinci RPs under his belt. I feel very good about this choice.

L’arginine
I had a
radical
prostatectomy
4 years ago. Cancer reappeared in the pelvic area so I had 39 radiation treatments. Anyways, I’m wondering if L’arginine (Vialis is the brand) is safe with my past experiences.

Rising psa after Eligard and bicalutamide, in 9 months. What treatment now to stop the psa rise?
Had a prostatectomy in June 2018. Two tumors, Gleeson 3+3, with perineural infiltration. Psa went to 0.22 post op by March 2019, before op was 4.12. Went on Eligard and 50mgs bicalutimada when Psa rose to 1.58 in Sept. 2019. Psa fell to 0.10 in Dec. 2019, but has risen to 0.21, in March 2020, then 0.31

I am a 77 year old gay male, who was first diagnosed in December, 2005 with prostate cancer. I had a robotic prostatectomy February, 2006. Was good for several years when psa started climbing and I had radiation for 7 weeks. Ugh! Once again I was clear until the psa climbed again. Had radiation, Lupron
