Stinging/burning near tip of penis when urinating. Also, small brown sediment in urine.
---This has happened for about a week. Because of rising PSA value, will see a new oncologist next week. Radiation therapy 14 years ago, PSA rising annually, now at 2.5. Also, there is hip and thigh pain, more so at night. And an odd, mild pain in the groin. And a burning lower back pain, only

Husband got his first hormone injection yesterday to begin treatment which will include 45 Radiation Therapy sessions.

A New Direction
After seven years of fighting this disease with chemo, radiation, ADT, and abiraterone, I suffer from fatigue, nerve damage and paralysis and nerve pain in my left foot from radiation treatment, as well as depression, and a constant feeling of uncertainty. However, I am now free to let go of the life

Results of diverticulitis caused by radiation treatments
I had 44 days of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to treat prostate cancer over two months. In week four I started getting intense pain and symptoms of diverticulitis. I had diverticulitis twice before, five years and ten years previously so I knew the symptoms. Radiation continued and after

Rising PSA...again..
In December 2017 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a biopsy. I ignored the symptoms for many years and it cost me. In February 2018 I had surgery to remove my prostate hoping that would cure me, PSA never went to 0. By December 2019 I was alarmed enough to start ADT with Elegard and in February

Laboratory test variance or ?
5 weeks ago I had asked my own physician for a 3 month post radiotherapy PSA and Testosterone done - the PSA was 0.01 and the Testosterone was 0.6nmol/L (17.3ng/dL) - which I felt happy with and seemed good. A week later I had a bad 12 week implant that bled and bruised badly and I could then feel

Testosterone & RLS
I was aware of mild RLS from about age 10 nearly 62 years ago. Occasionally, I could control it by autosuggestion. Dramatically, this RLS stopped when I had reached puberty, 3 years later. It emerged 62 years later, immediately radiotherapy and hormone therapy for prostrate cancer commenced in 2012

Study: Addition of Short-term ADT Fails to Improve Survival over Radiotherapy Alone for Intermediate-Risk PCa
This is a very interesting large-scale study but it is only one study. Here's the Scoop: "The addition of short-term androgen deprivation (STAD) to dose-escalated radiotherapy did not improve overall survival (OS) for patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, although the regimen did produce

Enzalutamide plus leuprolide reduces risk of metastasis in nonmetastatic HSPC men-from Urology Times, 29 Apr 2023

HER2 and ER positive breast cancer
I tripped over in the garden and fractured 2 ribs; while in hospital scans showed lesions; was referred to breast clinic and the cancer was found. I was originally scheduled for a lumpectomy but they found the HER2 & ER positive, so now chemo and targeted therapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy.

ART Effect Of Adjuvant And Salvage Radiotherapy After Radical Prostatectomy On Urinary Continence
Well, I am 'continent' according to the criteria in this study (a bit old, but not ancient)...of course continence here is defined as "[i]no pads or one safety pad.[/i]" OK. Now, I went into sRT with a safety pad and was warned by my RO that this had a chance of being 'locked in.' I proceeded anyway
