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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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

Targeted, High-Dose Radiation Effective and Safe for Oligometastatic PCa
They were randomized to observation with no further treatment for 6 months (n = 19) or to receive stereotactic ablative
radiotherapy
(SABR, n = 35), a high-precision therapy in which high doses of radiation are targeted to the tumor in one or several sessions.

Take ownership of your prostate cancer
I have been placed on hormone therapy ( 3 monthly Lucrin injections) have had a green laser light rebore of the prostate today, and will start
radiotherapy
in a fortnight. If the cancer had been caught all those years ago, surgery may have been the best treatment.

Ain’t Life Grand
Well folks, I am coming up on my one year anniversary of dating Erleada. She has not been too bad even though she did raise my BP a bit (and they got a pill for that). My PSA is .01 and at last check there is still no evidence of metastatic disease. Nineteen years I have been dealing with this disease
