Testosterone
Good morning, After years of hormone therapy and low testosterone, my bloodwork from Thursday shows an increase of testosterone. My chart shows it’s been less that 7 for a number of years, now it’s listed as 8. Does this mean that the Xtandi/Eligard is not working anymore?

Theoretical study indicates the most practical natural anti-prostate cancer compound is grape seed extract
B2G2, the most active ingredient of grape seed extract (GSE), can act as an agonist for PTEN. PTEN has a key role in suppressing PCa cells by applying phosphatase activity and inhibiting cell proliferation. Investigation on the mechanisms by which the herbal remedies induce anti-prostate cancer activity

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FINALLY SCHEDULED (WE HOPE)
Hi everyone. As you may know, my husband was diagnosed with CLL back in 2013, treated with six cycles of FCR, and achieved a "full response with incomplete recovery of the bone marrow." He had severe complications after treatment, but the CLL never recurred. In November 2023 he began to experience

Appreciate cabazitaxel users to respond
I stopped Docetaxel at 8th round because my lower legs came down with serious edema. I plan to be treated with cabazitaxel which has less side effects. I know all individuals have different situations, Appreciate Cabazitaxel users to respond as to edema, hair loss, etc. Thanks.

intermittent ADT+Abiraterone
Six months ago I ended a 12 month holiday from my ADT + abiraterone. (In this post, I’m not asking for evaluations of the advisability of intermittency.) In making the decision to do the intermittency, my MO, among other things, said that the fact that I was on abiraterone was a positive factor for

Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

I owe you an update
Many thanks to the members of this forum. FYI, I was diagnosed with a DRE last October, 2023. I had a biopsy in November and confirmed an aggressive stage 5, Gleason 9 in 6 of 12 cores prostate cancer. A series of scans did not detect involvement beyond the prostate. My PSA was 9 at that time. I began

Some good news yesterday
I’m 66, dealing with PCa for 6 years, have had surgery and radiation 2x. Things were quiet for a year and a half. After a rapid rise in psa this spring, the docs at Duke put me on Lupron and Xtandi. The three month check up shows t level is down to 18, psa is 0.23, a decline of 96.5%. Thank God and

on exercise again
not randomized, but still a very interesting study that wants to check the relation between PSA decline and quantity of exercise per week in men with localized prostate cancer https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/article-abstract/2821207

Cancer Turned Aggressive?
My dad has been battling prostate cancer for 15+ years . He goes to University of Chicago. He is 74. Early 2000’s- prostate removed - not clean margins. Did no further treatment 2004 - Cancer came back. Only seen on PSA test. Watched for years until PSA finally doubled. 2007-2008- went on Lupron

diarrhea flares ?
My dad had radiation that ended in January. Currently on Lupron. Had his last shot July 7th and his PSA was .02. He had a lot of issues post radiation, with diarrhea and gas, but that subsided and he has been good for a while. All the sudden these symptoms are happening again. When he had his last Lupron

CRISPR Identifies New Genes as Drivers of Prostate Cancer Metastasis
Three research groups recently independently elucidated the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms driving prostate cancer metastasis. The innovative use of CRISPR technology not only facilitated the discovery of the genes but also opened potential new avenues for targeted cancer therapies to prevent metastasis

Chemotherapy- to do or not at 82 years ?
