Hi It’s been 4 years since my last contact with this site (though I view it daily). Over that time my PSA has been slowly, but surely, edging up. My history in brief is dx Dec2013 with PSA 5.1 G9Tb3 PNI ECE. Had 78gy of radiation therapy early in 2014 and 3 years on Lupron (finished Feb/2017). No

Recommendations for ROs and MOs in Houston
I’d like to request the names of one or more good ROs and MOs in or near Houston, TX (not at MD Anderson). My husband (age 71) was diagnosed with highly aggressive PC in late December 2021. Gleason Score 9 (4+5), PSA was 12.5. CT and bone scans indicated no metastasis but PSMA PET scan indicated

Rate of acute grade ≥2 genitourinary toxicity lower with MRI guidance versus CT guidance for SBRT in men with localized prostate cancer
“Our final results are expected later this year, but we are extremely optimistic by what we’re seeing, and hope this technology will soon begin to offer men undergoing
radiotherapy
for prostate cancer better outcomes.”

When should ADT be given with SBRT?, Some SBRT news, looking at Radiosensitizers in Prostate Cancer treatment
Greetings FPC folk, It has been months since my last post, and I thought I would post something near to my situation and pick your brains on the issues... I am nearing the end of my 20 month vacation as my PSA has risen to about 0.7 now, and I had a Pylarify scan showing one lesion so I remain oligometastatic

Watch and wait vs radiation
I had large meningioma removed 3 months ago. The radiologist suggested i start radiation treatment preemptively, since i had a grade 2 meningioma. Should i watch and wait or get radiation? Thanks :)

PSA down from 6.17 to 4.4 in 16 months
My friend was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December 2020. He was given the option of being on active surveillance or radio therapy. He chose to be on active surveillance. He changed his diet to a whole food plant based diet. He gave up sugar completely. He started drinking a glass of cruciferous

Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy treatment affecting my lungs.
I had Chemo, lumpectomy and
radiotherapy
. My lungs have been damaged a lot after my cancer treatment. I started experiencing shortness of breath a month after
radiotherapy
and it got worse over a few months. Now I am diagnosed with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis and Bronchiolitis.

Chasing rivals, Bayer files Nubeqa for new prostate cancer
Around 95% of prostate cancers are localised at diagnosis and treated with surgery or
radiotherapy
, but tend to relapse. When this happens, the first line of drug treatment for hormone-sensitive tumours is ADT, with chemotherapy layered on top if needed.

Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
New study below [1]. Anyone here using
Salmon Protein Hydrolysate
? FWIW: "A growing body of evidence implicates iron dysmetabolism in prostate cancer progression. A bioactive peptide-rich salmon protein hydrolysate (SPH) has previously been demonstrated to modulate iron homeostatic mechanisms.

RLS symptoms spreading
During
radiotherapy
for prostate cancer, they emerged at age 62 years. I started taking ropinirole up to 4mg then Rotigotine and clonazepam since. Episodes of RLS randomly occur affecting my whole body and resulting in sleeplessness, but drowsiness and fatigue during the day.
