Treatment Failure
Just wondering what I am doing wrong. I am reading posts from men with aggressive metastatic prostate cancer that have survived for 17 plus years. I cant seem to experience one lengthy remission. I've been to Dana Farber and Sloan in NYC and have been through chemo...radiation...hormone deprivation

What next after radio therapy and Lupron?
He had a Gleason score of 9 and
radical
prostatectomy
in December 2017. Since then, he had 36 sessions of radiotherapy and has also been on Lupron (took his 2nd injection last week).

Sex after treatment?
Ok so I just had a
radical
prostatectomy
a little over a month ago. I am on a sliver of a Viagra every day. I am on a Lupron holiday and my PSA is in the undetectable range at this point.

natural treatments
Just checking in to see if anyone has treated PMR with cannabis? I realize it is illegal in many places and it may not be ok to discuss here. I apologize in advance if I'm breaking any rules. Cannabis or medicinal marijuana is legal where I live. I have no interest in getting high. I am in search of

Having cancer is exhausting...does it ever end?
Good morning all š My name is Deana and Iām 48 and was diagnosed with stage 3 NSCLC in 2015. It took 11 months and 4 stays in the hospital with ābronchitisā for the doctors to finally find the tumor the size of a lemon that was crushing my right bronchial tube. Once found I immediately began looking

Small-Cell PCa.
New paper below [1]. Typically, I look for additions to PubMed that can be translated into action. The brief text below is more of a heads-up warning not to be too eager for treatment. The options we have for metastatic PCa are palliative rather than curative. With a relatively short mean-time-to-failure

What now?
I had a
radical
prostatectomy
in August 2017 and my first PSA was 0.08. My recent PSA was 0.22 and I am awaiting a consult with my urologist for further treatment. My Gleason score was 4+5 a 9 and I'm very bummed that I will need more treatment so soon. What happens now?

Is there a link between thyroid problems & rheumatoid arthritis?
I know someone who has RA and wondered if there could be a link with thyroid problems, if so does anyone else suffer like this and offer advice & recommended links to websites. They are very young with a very young family and suffers a tremendous amount of pain, bless them, a good work ethic , a real

Hernia.
He told me that it would have to be open surgery because of my
prostatectomy
. From the new paper: "The association between
radical
prostatectomy
and inguinal hernia development is complex and unclear."

My Rheumatology doctor is refusing to treat me whilst I am taking T3 which is prescribed by my Endocrinologist can he do this?
My Edno constantly nagging me to reduce T3 I resist and as I say I am feeling better for taking it . she prescribes it 60 mcg per day but writes to my gp saying I am well and doing good but that she suggests lowering the amount however I am reluctant to do so. She sends me to Rheumatologist for bones

Misdiagnosed?
Would I even needed a

prostatectomy
? Very saddened and depressed over this.

New Member Question (s) For The Group
But back the PC, he had a
radical
prostatectomy
4 years back and it took only 6 months for it to return. He has chosen, thus far, to go all natural treatments-no radiation, no chemo, no additional surgeries and no clinical trials.

F18 PSMA-1007 PET/CT Scan - Result
I previously posted about this scan and wondered about it's value. I had a rising PSA after robotic prostatectomy in April 2016 with a Gleason 4+3+T5 & pT2C, clear margins, appeared organ confined. PSA climbed continuously since the procedure with current PSA of 0.87 with doubling time of 5 months.
