"Brain fog"
Some of you men in this forum speak of "brain fog"from prostate cancer meds. I'd like to know specifically how you would describe that. In particular, are there memory issues? I have enough memory loss to concern me. My pc drugs are: Lupron and Darolutamide. But I also take Lithium Carbonate, Lamotrigene

Intravenous C
I was reading this short report (our BAT friends are involved) thinking it showed real promise for C, then in conclusion they say no. Agreed the p values are high, the CIs are wide, but the results were so lopsided that to me it merely means the trial was underpowered and C is worth a try. High-Dose

Newly diagnosed Gleason 9
Hi all, I recently had my prostate taken out and got upgraded to Gleason 9, T3b, seminal vessel and extra prosthetic extension with positive margins but no lymph nodes. I am 56, very fit, and will get my first post operative PSA in September. My pre-op was 9.5. I know a lot of people on this forum

What defines “stable disease” in Advanced PCa?
My dad just had his first PSMA Pet Scan after completing 6 rounds of docetaxel. We visit the MO next week to discuss results. I can see the results and while none of the tumors have gone away there are many references to “persistent but improving” to describe his metastasis. This has made me wonder

Lupron and apalutamide have kept my T and PSA under control for several years. Late last year my PSA began to rise and I changed from RO (11 years in her care) to an MO. He told us that standard of care was Docetaxel, so even though I had no real symptoms for all this time we agreed. Unfortunately, we

Gleason 8 on HRT
I was recently diagnosed with localized prostate cancer Gleason 8, which fortunately was caught early. After initial discussions with my healthcare team, I've begun hormone therapy, receiving my first injection about three to four weeks ago, along with a 28-day course of tablets. This decision came after

What's it like to have a husband, Dad, or dear friend with prostate cancer?
If you are reading this, you are either diagnosed with prostate cancer or are concerned enough to be information hunting for someone you care about. There are many characterizations and attempts at defining "caregiver." At Malecare, if you are here, and do not have prostate cancer, then you are a caregiver

Best Support Tips?
My lovely mum has recently been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. We’re awaiting staging etc so as you can imagine there’s a lot of worry and uncertainty going on right now. I feel pretty useless as there’s nothing I can do or say that will help right now. But I’m just after some advice on what I can

what’s the best exercise and nutrition while on Abiraterone/Prednisone and Lupron.
I’m 44 years old with PCa. I’m on ADT for the last 18 months and had radiation and chemo a year ago. I have fatigue and find it very difficult to get the energy to workout. It’s also difficult to get motivation. Does anyone have any suggestions on workouts and nutrition during this treatment?
