Rising PSA despite salvage radiotherapy.
I have posted before but may be a short introduction helps. I am 71 yo and was dx of Gleason 6 back in May 2019 with PSA 10.5. Had my RARP in Toronto (Princess Margaret Hospital) in Oct 2019. I did not have lymph node exploration because the urologist did not feel that I needed it with Gleason 6. Pathology

Just realized I might have Coeliac disease. I had radio therapy for prostate cancer a couple of years ago, which blasts the surrounding organs including the bowel. So I thought my symptoms were due to that. But reading all the coeliac symptoms I wondered if that's what it is. So I'm trying a gluten free

Hello, new to the support group.
She starts her
radiotherapy
on the 23rd June and is going to start a chemo tablet too. We are also exploring any clinical trials and have been looking into having her tumour examined by Oncologica to see if there are any clinical trials available for her tumour type.
