What to do next after RP and RT?
“Is there a proven benefit to continuing ADT if you have high risk PCa even if your PSA is undetectable after RP and RT?” I was diagnosed in November 2017 at age 68 after my PSA was found to be 45.5. Biopsy found Gleason 4+5=9, later confirmed by prostate pathology. Bone scan negative. CT scan showed

Mid point in 3 prong treatment

PSMA Scan at NIH Day 1 of 2
I was fortunate enough to get into the Clinical Trial for the F18 DCFPyL PSMA Pet Scan at NIH. I have had no prior ADT or Chemo ever and my PSA was 0.7 which met the qualification for the trial. (RP in 2011, IMRT in 2015, BCR 02/2018). Today was day 1 of 2 with the actual PSMA Pet Scan tomorrow. This

PSA Velocity
PSA velocity - I'm post SRT along with IMRT ( 40 hits ) Started Lupron on 5/2/17 was on it for about 1 yr - the last injection was 2/2018 All along that time my PSA was Nidar Just had a PSA test on 12/17/2018 - and it was .19 So that could mean a 14 basis point increase if Nadir is .05 or less. In term

Question - residual PSA after treatment
Hello - new to the site. Had RP, then salvage RT with 1 yr of ADT ( Lupron ) fall 2017 - IMRT at SMK. For the entire yr, PSA was non-detectable... 12/17/18 PSA is .19 ---- I'm freaking out - but I do a lot of that, just in my DNA. I could never understand why any residual PSA was looked at as the most

Citric acid and heart palpitations
Hi - anyone else experienced heart palpitations when eating citric acid foods? When I eat pineapple or drink lemonade my heart starts to race. I am on blood pressure pills but they aren't controlling my blood pressure. I am trying to determine if foods with citric acid (or similar) is causing an elevated

Radiation Proctitis and Anal Sex?
Three years after IMRT to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes I had a colonoscopy and the report contained images of the procedure, two of which that showed the rectum were labeled 'radiation proctitis'. The images depicted what appear to be small red 'spider veins' and a larger area of uniformly red

To statin, or not to statin...creatine kinase and lp/a levels normal
Hi all, I'm after a little bit of advice/guidance. I am a 39 yr old female who has recently been diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia. For those who are not aware, this is a disorder which causes high cholesterol levels due to a genetic mutation and means the body cannot remove 'bad' cholesterol

8 years since dx, doing well ...
Hi, I'm new here, brief history of my prostate cancer is below. My cancer has been kept under control with very low dose casodex since psa recurrence, so I'm grateful for that. Casodex monotherapy for high risk pca patients is not the standard treatment, however it's working for me, at least until now

Working through it...
For the past hour I’ve been afraid that I’m having a stroke. I had numbness of the left side of my head to my ear.. freaked out.. got home, took my BP and it was fine.. tried to calm down and I’m still scared. Everything is tingling. Just took 2mg of valium.. praying it helps soon to avoid an ER visit

Have you reduced bp with supplements ?
Any suggestions ? I've been reading about NAD plus Arginine.
