looking for next steps for my young husband
Out of desperation I am writing this -we are looking for nothing short of a miracle. My husband was diagnosed in 2021 at age 45 with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. We have 3 small children ages 7,3 and 2 and we need something to give my husband time with his family. Sharing our journey in hopes that it can

PSA after one month on lupron
I am 63 with high risk PCa. I was diagnosed with PSA of 30 and Gleason 9 in December. Biopsy and MRI showed all 12 cores malignant with "likelihood of extra-capsular extension". PSMA PET scan showed no mets as of December 15. I began treatment on February 26 with a week of Casodex followed by a Lupron

Constipation post C-section - how much prune juice?!
I had my little boy on Monday by CS. I have now not managed to poop since Sunday 🙈 (being a new mum is so glamorous). Likely a combo of opiates during surgery, inactivity etc. Anyway, was prescribed lactulose in hospital and to take at home (home for 24h now) but no dice. Today I added in (what I consider

Cancer takes another brave man
My wonderful husband passed away yesterday after fighting the beast for 15 years. Gleason 8 all but one core positive. He was so strong tried so hard, 2 clinical trials radiation, Zytiga, Xofigo, lupron for the entire time. Finally at age 65 his body could take no more, he lost over 40 pounds, no energy

Autovaccination seems a hot topic lately: Mt. Sinai autovaccination technique to turn cold prostate cancer hot (Phase 1)
ok, I am exposing myself to j-o-h-n in more than one way with that title... This is for regional leagues (locally advanced PCa), while we are the NFL of prostate cancer here, but the fact that a cold cancer was turned hot is very promising as it has always been the main limit of immuno therapies applied

Are endocrinologists of any help after ADT?
After ADT, my MO told me that handling things like Prolia management won't be in her bailiwick. I didn't ask about post-ADT SE's and recovery from same. Hot flashes, low T, BMD loss, and last not least sarcopenia. What is the community's experience with how post-treatment SE's are best handled? Are

Podcast Episode with Abraham Morgentaler, MD about Testosterone and Prostate Cancer

My husband has metastatic prostate cancer. We went through all the treatments including 5 pluvicto treatments. Even though his scan shows improvement in some areas it continues to spread. Maybe this is due to no meds such as Xtandi to stop the spread. I'm trying to get more information by reading people's

Robotic wedge lung resection
During my pet scan a lung shadow was reported. Biopsy failed to get tissue but Drs. do not think it is from the stage 2/3 prostate cancer. They recommend a wedge resection via a daVinci mechanism to remove it. I'd like to hear from someone who has had that surgery but since it may be tangential to this

How about eating a healthy snack that might help fight PCa. Lotus seeds (Nelumbo nucifera) also known as makhana contain Neferine, see below

Bad news: prostate cancers doubling by 2040
Bad news on one side, for all the guys that will join the damn club (and the trends say their age is lowering as well....I am an example actually!). On the other side we can hope for an increase of effort to solve the problem, at least for prostate, breast, lung and colorectal cancers, which are quite

Not PCa related but sounds like a very promising approach
When I read "advanced pancreatic cancer" and "overall disease control of 94%" in the same document...I feel like smiling.... https://ascopost.com/news/april-2024/advanced-pancreatic-cancer-oncolytic-virus-based-immunostimulatory-gene-therapy-plus-chemotherapy/

Zytiga vs Nubeqa for Triple Therapy
Hi, I've recently received a diagnosis of Stage 4 prostate cancer, which is high volume and hormone-sensitive. I've consulted with 3 oncologist and all recommend triple therapy: Lupron alongside 6 rounds of Docetaxel, plus an ARPI. While two oncologists recommend Nubeqa, one strongly advocates for Zytiga

Why don't doctors prescribe Dutasteride more often?
I get this question from a lot of men that have prostate cancer. Although the black label warning is a concern to some doctors, and has been discussed here in previous posts, I think the main reason is simply that most doctors don't know about it. Here is the single best paper reviewing the three major

PSMA Scans and False Positives
So I saw my MO yesterday to review my ongoing treatment of Xtandi and Lupron. Been 3 months so far with no real side effects except hot flashes. My PSMA scan showed prostate and one met to sacrum. Prostate treated with 28 rounds of EBRT. MO says since sacrum is so close to prostrate it might have

Reaction to docetaxel twice now.
second cycle of docetaxel and the same reaction. Pelvic pain, flushing, muzzy head and head ache. Great response from the team again and feeling better pretty quickly. Last time they tried again and it went through okay. Had meds to mitigate but not prevented a reaction. They aren’t go to try the infusion
