WORRIED ABOUT REOCCURRENCE???
Worried....
Stopped IMRT 1 year ago and stopped adt (4 mos) 9 months ago...
9/23/23 Blood Test PSA .1 --- PSA FREE undetectable and Testosterone was 98
3/4/24 Blood Test PSA .2 ----Psa Free Undetectable and Testosterone not in yet.

Ok folks, has anyone come across something like this?...early 2018, PSA in the 50's, biopsy came back negative, a few months later PSA in the 60's, again, another biopsy and a negative finding, 3rd time in the 80's with yet another negative biopsy, then nuclear imaging and bam...stage 4 metastatic, this

SeHCAT scan - eeek!
Got my letter through to book the SeHCAT scan. I'm just freaked out by having to go to the same clinic that caused me so much distress during colonoscopies/endoscopies. I know this won't hurt and logically I don't need to worry but I can't help it.๐

Should the dose of Dutasteride be increased?
The plot above shows the residual (nadir) level of DHT in men as a function of the daily Dutasteride dose (mg/day). The DHT nadir numbers shown in this plot are: 23.8 pg/mL for 0.5 mg daily dose; 10.2 pg/mL for 2.5 mg daily dose; and 7.3 pg/mL for 5 mg daily dose. Ref: Clark (2004) [see Table

PET Scan Results 030424
New PSMA avid sclerotic lesions in the left inferior pubic ramus, and bilateral symphysis pubis. Additional new small foci in the left acetabulum and supra-acetabular region. Index focus in the left symphysis pubis with a maximum SUV 20.4. RO will radiate but suggests change from Zytiga to Xtandi.

results of nail biopsy
At the end of last week I got my results of my nail biopsies. It is no fungus, no infection and best of all no cancer. They do not know what it actually is despite using numerous tests. A very happy outcome, as all medics seen in the process suspected subungual melanoma. I can live with not knowing

Can Fenbendazole be taken along with Orgovyx?
My husband has just been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. The doctor plans to do a scan to see if it has spread and then put him on Orgovyx. I am concerned about side effects (he is 86) and was hoping fenbendazole could be used at the same time to help things along. Does anyone have experience

Low testosterone is associated with extremely poor survival metrics, post-ADT.
These companion plots compare: (A) median survival times, (B) PSA doubling times, and (C) Time to PSA Failure for two different levels of testosterone: Low and Normal. The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL. The cohort is 58 men with unfavorable

MRI prior to HDR Brachy and HDR intensity.
Hi Friends, Hey, I'm doing well to date in coping with HT and have just had 10 of my 23 VMAT radiation sessions. So far so good. BUT recently I was told that the radiation sessions are nothing compared to the "Brutal" HDR Brachy Boost I am having in mid-August. That wasn't what I wanted to hear, so

Low Testosterone reduces Survival by a huge amount.
This plot compares prostate cancer specific mortality probability versus time for two different levels of testosterone: Low and Normal. The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL. The cohort is 58 men with unfavorable intermediate risk who underwent

Help deciding on treatment
Discovered this forum a month ago and have found it to be a wealth of information, with very educated/informed members. Hoping that you can spread some of your wisdom and help my finalize my decision with treatment. I've posted more details in my profile as well as write ups from MSKCC on my Biopsy

My own PSA values over time: 70% drop in just 3 months on Dutasteride and no ADT
Here are my own PSA values versus time plot. You can see there is an exponential rise in PSA starting at around 6/1/23, and doubling from PSA = 5 to 10 in about 8 months. My MRI at PSA = 10 showed a T3a tumor about 1.3 cm long (PIRADS 5). A subsequent targeted biopsy showed Gleason 3+4 in 4 cores,

Well I've had all my tests, I'm now severe, got pulmonary hypertension so the lung reduction is out of the question, apparently. I can go forward for a lung transplant but you know, I caused this with smoking, I gave up 2 years ago. And I don't fancy having my ribcage opened and someone else's blood

Doubling Times and PSA acceleration - Part II
This is a more realistic schematic plot of PSA levels increasing over time at an ever faster rate (acceleration). What could cause this? My theory is that as the tumor grows, the number of androgen receptors (ARs) increases proportionally. That makes sense...more PCa cells inside a tumor...more ARs
