Dutasteride (Advodart) as an Alternative to ADT in Salvage RT Setting?
I know this forum is mainly focused on post-salvage advanced stage but highly respect the knowledge and opinions of the members here. There's clear evidence in the early stages of recurrence that Dutasteride (Advodart) slows or even stops the progression based on PSA results epecially when started when

Update on my father. Triplet therapy?
After my last post, my father underwent spinal cord decompression surgery - they did laminectomy and partial corpectomy of the fractured vertebrae and did pedicular screw fixation to stabilize the spine. It's been 2 weeks since surgery and he is prescribed bed rest for 4-6 weeks. After 1-2 more weeks

Met-directed therapy beneficial when less than five mets
Radiotherapy
, particularly SABR, should be considered in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer. Highly-sensitive imaging modalities, such as PSMA PET, are essential to identify patients most likely to benefit from

Radiotherapy on lymph node/posting problems
I am to have
radiotherapy
on a lymph node near my armpit. There is still low activity in some other lymph nodes but my oncologist would rather watch and wait before giving me more chemo but the one under my arm has got bigger hence my treatment.

PSA Rising
It has been about 2 years since beam radiation therapy. My PSA had very slowly declined to about 1.8 two months ago. 3 months before that it was 2.1. I just had a PSA test done in preparation for a phone call with my old radiation oncologist as I moved out of state to Philadelphia. When I took my PSA

Hello everyone .
Hi all , hope you all managed a reasonable Christmas despite various treatments etc ongoing … I’m interested to hear from anyone who had chemo / radiation treatment for lung cancer stage 3 and didn’t follow up with immunotherapy either because it wasn’t an option or because they chose not to or other

stage 4 small cell cancer
He initially had
radiotherapy
and chemo. He responded well. The cancer was deemed to difficult to operate on. Since then he was told the cancer has spread to his adrenal glands. This time he was given targeted
radiotherapy
. Again he responded. He is about to have another scan?

Can I ask what to expect during the initial hormone therapy + five to eight weeks of radiation?
Hi All, My father has just completed two weeks of radiation and I thought he was handling it very well but today seemed to be a really bad day. It has me a bit shaken up as it seemed to have come out of no where. Wondering if these symptoms are normal and how much worse we can expect this to get. Along

Brain mets.
Has anyone here survived 3 months after
radiotherapy
on a NSCLC met to the brain? I'm concerned with my wife's prognosis as she has memory problems.
