Fenbendazole
My uncle, a very fit 88-year old, was diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 1/2 years ago and while the hormonal treatment kept it in check for a couple of years, his PSA has now risen to 1600 and the scans show has spread to his bones. He has been tinkering with different hormonal regimes, abiraterone

Breathing problem.
Even though 6 months ago I was told I was stage 4 and Gleason 9 the use of Orgovyx and Zytiga have brought my PSA from 72 to 0.4, and my numerous cancer hot spots appear under control. My PSA continues to go down and I'm without pain. However, I find myself breathing very hard just climbing a flight

Bicalutamide (Casodex) then Eligard - Question
OK, Another quick question. I've been on Bical for 11 days and in 3 days I get my first 1 month injection of Eligard. I have had almost zero side effects with Bical, maybe a little extra fatigue but hardly noticeable. Does this mean that perhaps I will tolerate Eligard better than what some people experience

enzalutamide
Hi I lost my dad a year ago but enzalutamide slowed the progression and shrunk the met also alleviating pain. This is taken in tablet form and offered as an alternative to chemotherapy. Hope this might help.

What's different between Xtandi vs NUBEQA® (darolutamide) vs ERLEADA® (apalutamide)
Hello Everyone, zytiga didn’t work so move to xtandi After two months, Xtandi did not work, and PSA started going up; I suggested to the doctor to prescribe other medicine ( NUBEQA® (darolutamide) or ERLEADA® (apalutamide) based on this group's recommendations. Dr keeps telling me NO and tells

Update for kestrel5
Diagnosed in Spring 2010 (Stage IIB - pT2c, N0, M0). Lung mets confirmed in September 2015. I am, as they say, heavily pre-treated. Recent scans and bloodwork: no evidence of cancer, three years of undetectable PSA. Never say 'cured,' but I am enjoying a period of durable treatment effects.

Update: NEPC Treatment
A few people messaged me regarding updates about my dad’s participation in Duke CHAMP trial for small cell/NEPC. He was admitted into trial Dec ‘23 and received 3 immunotherapy infusions until he had a very severe allergic reaction causing intense itching and grade 4 red rash all over his body. He admitted

Malecare newsletter reports Finish study glucocorticoids (e.g. prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone) can lead to castrate resistance
“However, recent studies have shown that the glucocorticoid receptor also has an oncogenic, or cancer-promoting, effect in cancers like breast and prostate cancer. In prostate cancer, the glucocorticoid receptor can replace the activity of the androgen receptor, which is main oncogenic factor in this
