Bone Mets or Arthritis?
Hello all, I’m increasingly confused about how radiologists differentiate between PC bone mets and routine degenerative changes like arthritis. Bear with me... My husband’s initial CT scan on 8/19 stated “Lytic lesion is seen in T7 as seen on the recent bone scan. A lytic lesion in the right L5 vertebral

CYSTATIN C
I would like to know if someone has tested Cystatin C. I have no health issues other than higher creatinine which was at 1.95 last time and Cystatin C was 1.63. I got blood test now and creatinine is 1.85 and Cystatin C 1.46. Thus I find that Cystatin c has dropped more than creatinine. Any ideas

PORTOS
I’m beginning week 3 of IMRT after a small uptick in my PSA from .01 to .03. Things are going well but in my head I am bugged by the fact that I had a low PORTOS score associated with my DECIPHER GRID. Neither my urologist nor either of the two RO’s I spoke with before treatment seemed very interested

Decision Matrix Conundrum
So I completed IMRT to my left hemi-pelvis with boost to 2 nodes there that lit up on Ga-PSMA scan last October. Used adjuvant ADT with degarelix plus estradiol patches. Approximately 5-6 months until T levels recovered. Post RT my PSA fell by about half (.25 to .15 and staying there for 3 months now

Decreased urine output suddenly
I have never faced this problem but today I have noticed reduced urine output (around 500 ML) after drinking 3 litres of water. My last gfr one month before was 25. I have never seen swelling but today in feet, there is some swelling. I am very tensed. I don't know what happening?? Are kidneys failing

Felodipine and chest pain
I’m 52 and had been taking Losartan 10 umg for around 10 years. Six months ago my doctor wanted me to start 2.5 mg Felodipine as well due to high BP. Since then I started to feel chest pain. Now complained to the doctor about increased chest pain on the phone as no surgery is open. I was told to leave

Felodipine and chest pain
I’m 42 and been on losartan for nearly 12 years. This year after a check in my bp I was given 5mg of Felodipine as I was taking the highest dose of losartan. Since then I have been breathless and have chest pains. The doctor ran blood tests and I had an ecg but doesn’t seem to consider the medication

A Pain in the Butt
For a whole year after my prostatectomy I felt like I had a "charley horse" in my right butt cheek. I complained about it to my medical oncologist and he had a radiation oncologist zap my sacrum with 800gys of IMRT. About two weeks later the pain was gone! Now, many years later, I'm feeling a similar

Rectal problems following HDR and IMRT
Finished HDR and IMRT a couple months ago. Since then have had difficulty with bowel movements. GI doc not much help. Colonoscopy a risk due to my age 80. Recently read about a radiation side effect called proctitis which seems to present with the symptoms I’m having. Anyone having similar experience

A small rise in PSA What do you think of my plan
I'm a 76 1/3 yo that has spent 2 1/4 yrs on Zytiga had IMRT, SBRT to the bone and on Xgeva. Psa was <.1 for 8 mos and has risen to .2 Alk Phos looks good. I'm expecting PSA will not go down and plan to try again to get Dexamethasone prescribed in lieu of pred. Will provide my MO in advance of next visit
