Radical prostatectomy vs. external beam radiation therapy in Gleason 9-10.
New German/Italian/Canadian study below [1]. "Gleason Score (GS) 9-10 prostate cancer is associated with particularly adverse oncological outcomes and the optimal treatment is unknown. Therefore, cancer-specific mortality (CSM) rates after radical prostatectomy (RP) ± adjuvant radiation therapy (aRT)

My second social media post
I am now one year on from a diagnosis of prostate cancer and the medical people do suggest exercise as a device to help one endure the fatigue you get from hormone therapy and
radiotherapy
. It doesn't seem logical that exercise helps you overcome that! But I am sure it helps.

Here we go again.
Just one bout of
radiotherapy
to make sure that it's gone. "You'll be back at work in a month" they've claimed and nothing should go wrong. So the the battle lines have all been drawn. I'm about to fight anew. But with surgeon's skill and family's love. I will beat this one too.

Post ADT Recovery Question
This Blog has been an enormous support on my journey through PC. Every time I learn something from my doctors, or my own experances, I come check it out on the blog and it seems that most of you already know it. I'm amazed at your depth of knowledge. I have referred a couple of my friends to it who

Docetaxel vs Surveillance After Radical Radiotherapy for Intermediate- or High-Risk Prostate Cancer
This randomized study added docetaxel to standard therapy of external beam
radiotherapy
plus ADT to compare biochemical disease–free survival. The addition of docetaxel to standard therapy did not improve outcomes.

Single Bone Met
He was given
radiotherapy
and put on Zoladex for two years.. At the outset he was given a bone scan, and a single patch showed up on his rib but the hospital couldn’t decide whether or not it was a met or an anomaly.

Ultra-Hypofractionated vs Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer
TAKE-HOME MESSAGE •This phase III noninferiority trial compared ultra-hypofractionated and conventional
radiotherapy
for intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer. Ultra-hypofractionated
radiotherapy
was noninferior to conventional
radiotherapy
in terms of failure-free survival at 5 years.

Radiation for nipple pain and breast buds
Anyone had radiation treatment for this? How effective is it? Typical side effects? Is there an optimal time to radiate? I will likely return to Lupron when my PSA starts to rise. I stopped Lupron and Xtandi one year ago. My testosterone returned at 236 four months later (April) and has continued

Nice news
We got married on the 9th August, 9 days after finishing
radiotherapy
and 6 weeks after finishing chemotherapy. A lot of people asked had we thought of postponing our wedding, which we did think about but I’m so glad I had an end goal and what an amazing day it was!

I'm a Challenge!
My Oncologist told me today that I'm quite a challenge! We went over the side effects I'm having, bladder pain, horrible joint pain, tooth pain, exhaustion and more. I asked to have my Ibrance reduced to 75 mg and he agreed! We are also reducing my inhibitor by half- he feels that may be causing the
