If PSA is Suppressed by Doublet ADT, Will Salvage IMRT Cause a PSA Rise?
Hello everyone, My husband is nearing completion of his extended pelvic salvage IMRT with boost to retrocaval lymph nodes. His radiation oncologist said it may take several months before the psa calms down, so he would like to see him in July. My question is that, since he is already undetectable due

10-year update still shows no benefit to ART vs early SRT
ART
= adjuvant radiation therapy, within 6 months after radical prostatectomy (RP)
early SRT
= salvage radiation therapy, after PSA ≥ 0.1ng/ml or 3 consecutive rises. Median was 0.2 ng/ml. Median 1 ½ years after RP. Patients risked nothing by waiting, and gained urinary and fecal continence

Explain my PSMA PET SCAN Please..
PSMA PET/CT from the skull base to midthigh demonstrates: 1. Worsening of skeletal metastases. 2. Multiple sclerotic lesions without activity represent treated metastatic disease. 3. Status post orchiectomy. 4. No abnormal uptake of tracer within the prostatic bed. EXAM: PET CT PSMA CLINICAL

Suggestions for pain and exhaustion 2 weeks after radiation to C3?
Hi, I had 5
radiotherapy
sessions with cyberknife on the C3 about 2 weeks ago. I noticed after the 1st session that the pain on the right side of my neck got more and more intense, from my neck down through my right shoulder.

cost of Gold Fiducial Markers
I had three markers put into my prostate to assist targeting the Xray for
. Whereas my Medicare advantage plan Humana paid for the procedure, the office nurse said I need to pay $75 for the markers as it is not covered. Is this true??? I have found no evidence for this.

After ADT
Adrenal insufficiency after stopping ADT & steroids. My 72 year old husband had radical, robotic surgery 7 years ago. PSAs were 0 until 2 years ago, then barely detectable. Had the special PET scan, 3 spots lit up in lymph nodes, (in the area, none remote.) Had 6.5 weeks radiation therapy. Had 2 years

Month 5 of ORGOVYX
After radical prostatectomy and radiation treatment, I’m now on ORGOVYX and my testosterone has decreased from 672 to 11. I’ll be coming off the medication in one month. If anyone has used ORGOVYX, do you stop cold turkey or is there a tapering off of the drug? Thank you.

Did you use Orgovyx with radiation, and did your Medicare Part D or Advantage plan cover it ?
I'm hoping to learn what roadblocks anyone encountered in asking to use Orgovyx instead of Lupron, etc as part of radiation treatment. Resistance from prescribing ROs? Problems with Part D drug coverage ? Advantage plans...Kaiser , etc............that would and wouldn't cover at least some of the $2700

PSA following Lupron and question on scans
hi all, I am so happy to report that my dad has really improved following terrible side effects with his radiation treatment. I have posted before -he was having awful GI side effects which seemed to get worse following radiation completion. But this is all subsided which we are grateful for. dad

PSA rising after salvage treatment
Hi, It's been a while since I was on this forum, but I am in need of some advice. I had a radical prostatectomy in 2021 followed by salvage radio therapy. My psa levels have been rising slowly since then and I wondered if there was any advice as to what it might mean and if there is anything I should

Radiation for cancer other than thyroid.
Does radiation treatment for breast cancer affect thyroid medications? Does dose need to be adjusted during or after treatment?

HDR boost Brachytherapy + IMRT
Hi all, This is my first post since being diagnosed with g9 metastatic PC. PSMA PET showed several pelvic lymph nodes with Mets, but no other spread, and bones are clean. I’m trying to finalize my choice of radiation treatments. I’m currently on Lupron and Zytiga, and PSA is dropping like a rock

Radiotherapy
Next week I go for
radiotherapy
for a lumpectomy. I have 5 days of it, being fair skinned I am worried about the 'sunburn' effect that it will probably have on me, as I stay out of the sun due to burning. Not to mention, the feeling sick! Any suggestions please?
