PSA rising, I'm horny (!) and hairless. What to think?
Hi There! Yes, the psa went from .6 [6 months from radiation treatment] to 1.6 [9 months from radiation treatment, which is the same as it was in 2011. What to think? Oncologist says its "good". Secondly, I'm a little bit horny...which comes as a great surprise that there is any feeling down there

Duration of ADT needed with salvage radiation
6 months? 24 months? New data from the "Formula 509" trial shows that hormone intensification with adjuvant apalutamide+abiraterone+ADT for just 6 months with salvage radiation therapy (SRT) may be all that's needed: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2023/02/duration-of-adt-needed-with-salvage.html

Choose Capivasertib or 177Lu-PSMA-617 clinical trial or stick with ADT + radiation?
Hi Folks, My PSA is up to 49 from 24 last summer. After bone scan, CT scan indicated 3 sites of mets (2 on pelvis, 1 on L5, overall “low volume”). Otherwise feeling great, working out most days. 58. I was finally able to get in this month to see a Medical Oncologist. Starting on ADT next week. Meeting
