Quick update on my journey
My bio has most of the brief history of my recent diagnosis. I’m on month 3 of Xtandi plus Orgovyx and just met with Rad Onc at Duke for initial consultation. Plan is low dose IMRT over 20 days (every day for 5 days in a row each week). Expect to remain on existing doublet Tx for at least the next

apalutamide vs. abiraterone
My husband has been recommended ADT + abiraterone + prednisone for two years. My friend who is an oncologist suggested apalutamide instead as it doesn't need to be supplements with prednisone and has less side effects. Wanted your opinion.

Dad 2nd BCR. Advice needed...
After a very late salvage radiation + 1 year Lupron. He has been off ADT for 1 year when PSA began to rise again. From 0.01 to 0.03 in less than 2 months then 0.05 after another 3 months. Is this indicative of an aggressive progression and metastasis? The oncologist said that the doubling time is not

PSA rising on Triplet Therapy after <18m
Hi all. Hope you are keeping your spirits high. This is a follow up to a post I made in 2022 about my father. I haven't posted since, which reflects the period of relative normalcy that followed the commencement of ADT (triplet therapy) at MSK. I want to pause to appreciate that since I know most of

5 aRIs and PCa and recurrence.
I’m recurrent in prostate bed with three negative PSMA PET scans and essentially unchanged size of enhancing nodule over 18 months on three MRIs DUT and FIN began when PSA reached 0.36. In six weeks dropped to 0.26 after beginning DUT and FIN. they are affecting sensitivity of the PSMA scans. After

Methylation to feel good
Hi Folks, Thank you for all the advice and words of encouragement. I’ve been reading a lot of papers on methylation and the effects on the body, below is an article that seems to sum it up if interested… https://draxe.com/health/methylation/ I’ve also been doing a lot of reading on higher incidences

AAV-GAD Gene Therapy
Did anyone hear of AAV-GAD gene therapy? I have a chance to get into a phase 1/2 trial, but information is somewhat limited. The original developing company went bankrupt, and a new company bought the rights to the therapy. The trails are being held at reputable sites like Yale, Columbia , and Cornell

is this what CR looks like?
Starting Nov 20 last year, I began a relugolix on-cycle. Here’s the PSA readings from that point: Nov 20 : 3.10 Jan 8: 0.31 Feb 27: 0.13 Apr 15: 0.08 So up to this point, the PSA is dropping nicely, as it always has with on-cycles; and as I would expect, since I’ve been a strong responder

Both ovaries out or not?

One has a big endometrioma on it and as of last year the scan showed the other was healthy. My question is do I agree to them both coming out and
