Treatment Update IMRT with ADT 18 months later
Follow up 18 months later. I am due for another ADT injection in December. Spoke to the Urologist and he feels 18months is enough keeping with the European standard while the Oncologist would like me to stay the course and do the full 2 years. I am in favor of 18 months also, that would be nice. Still

UCLA RO says that since it's been only 4 mo since stop of 4 ms RT & 4ms orgo and my T is 80 - more t than baseline (286) may trigger cancer
I thought that you could take TRT of 100 ml and you would be safe from reoccurrence.
Oncologist today at UCLA says he wants me to work with a specialist in TRT and he would only feel comfortable then giving his OK if ONLY if the testosterone specialist takes my testosterone back to ONLY my baseline

Update: PSA after IMRT
After my 40 treatments, I wanted to get off the bicalutamide I had been on for 2 months. My breasts had not only gotten enlarged but they had also become quite painful, and the Tamoxifen my RO had put me on did not help with this. He then ordered an early PSA test, and when it came back at just .12

Asking for advice
Since I first diagnosed with PC (T3bNx, GS 3+4)last February, 2023, I’ve been through RP, ADT and IMRT continuously. I had Firmagon shot twice before RP and switched ADT to Eligard. Then I started 25 sessions of IMRT. All the treatments was done within 3 and half months. Now I am exhausted. I am

My son’s Testosterone results:
Last week I posted my son’s three month PSA test and learned that it was the same as last time <0.10 and now I have the matching testosterone results of 7.0. How good or bad is that? I am unfamiliar with testosterone numbers after all the medicines he’s taken, and radiation. I don’t know what the previous

POTS - useful article interview
Quite a few people, including myself, have or have had POTS and I saw this article describing how it ca be diagnosed in a clinic without Tilt Table test - https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/995674?ecd=wnl_infocu1_broad_broad_per Some excellent explanations alongside advice for exercising - wish

Does pee urgency get worse after radiation?
I had IMRT 60 Gy circa August 2022. Since then sometimes it is very hard to hold a pee back. I'm concerned it might be getting worse. This is probably going to get a lot of responses -- please bring them on!

Treatment - radiation vs. surgery
Hello, I posted previously after I was first diagnosed and had some great feedback. I wanted to try once more after being able to spend the past couple of months researching and trying to make the best treatment decision moving forward. For anyone similarly affected, it might help to reflect on what

Hi, I have always been an anxious person, since the age of 5 years old. I am now 67 years, and I am totally obsessed with my blood pressure and readings. I know I have high bp, as it is in my family history. But it drives me insane.

My son’s PSA rose a bit today.
My son’s last PSA three months ago was <.01 but today it was <.10.It was previously as high as 22. He’s also tertiary five. His Mayo doctor told him to continue to test every three months, stay on current meds Lupron, Abiraterone/prednisone for another year and two months then stop meds and wait

Unexpected Dive in PSA
Was diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4+3) in June. PSA was initially 19.76 in April, went up to 21.78 in May to confirm first high PSA, retested again in August at 19.39. Started taking Orgovyx on 9/11 and began IMRT (37 fractions, 70-78gy to prostate, SIB boost to 85-90gy) on 9/28. Had my PSA checked again
