My Prostate Cancer Journey
It has been a year since I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and it has been quite a difficult journey. However, I have been incredibly fortunate to have the love and support of my wife and family every step of the way. Their presence has been a source of immense emotional comfort and personal care

Platelets Dropping
Is this “normal” or any advice? Undergoing radiation since March, have 22 sessions done, 6 to go. Started Casodex in December to prepare to start Eligard in January. Radiation started in March. My platelets have been dropping. MO said could be due to Lupron and/or radiation. IMRT targets Gleason 9

I need urgent help for my uncle.
My uncle who resides in France and is a holder of a French citizenship, has been diagnosed with terminal prostatic cancer. He had treated this condition in the past but it ultimately came back, but this time around doctors (including a specialist in Marseille) made him know that his condition was incurable

chemo
has anyone who failed xtandi and zytiga have good outcome with chemo- does it completely eliminate the cancer or do you still have to take things after - how does it work when it stops - also can you take it in smaller doses?

At what PSA will a PSMA PET scan be useful?
Hi everyone My father has been on Lupron for 3 years now. We stopped Abi last year due to rising blood sugar levels. His PSA used to hover between 0.6-0.8 (with an occasional spike to 1.2). PSA in May 24 was 0.6. Today, however, his PSA came back as 2.5. Plan is to restart Abi and monitor. But I wanted

Recurrent prostate cancer at 5 months after radical prostatectomy, with psa up to 0.2. PSMA and MRI negative. Now on Leuprolide and Nubeqa.
My Gleason was 9. Incontinence has been an issue since the RP and even though it has improved still leaked around 30 ml a day. Delaying radiation that I was recommended by one institution but some Oncologists say to delay radiation for more recovery. Even though my PSA is 0.01 on the meds, i worry

Hi folks I have just had my regular blood tests. It was actually quite funny. My oncologist is not one for laughing but I interrupted him just as he was about to tell me my latest "score" and told him my prognosis after a 4 month gap was 0.38 - he laughed as he told me the bloodtest gave 0.39.

Need Advice
I recently completed 23 radiation treatments of EBRT at Cedars Siani in LA for recurrent prostate Cancer. The cancer was in a lymph node near the prostate gland. My RO has informed me that we will check PSA in November to see if the treatments were successful. I mentioned doing a PSMA Pet Scan in addition

Neuroendocrine cancer % in APC patients is not rare, it’s becoming common.
How do we help men, on this site, to reduce their chances of getting NEPC? I did a PSMA PET scan today. My blood tests looked pretty normal with psa at .5 and other tested looking like they usually do, except for blood glucose, which is normally in the 93-99 range for the past five years, but was 76

PSA low and Cancer Spreading
My Dad diagnosed September 11th 2023. PSA was highest at 3.71. He had 6 doses Doxetaxel that were completed in January of 2024. Currently taking Zytiga daily and lupron infections. PSA still 0.01. In June of this year the pain started really bothering him. Hard to walk. MRIs to both hips showed bone

Can PSMA-PET scan be used off label?
I have a friend who has had multiple MRIs and biopsies to locate his presumed prostate cancer. His PSA is high, around 20 but fluctuates and this has gone on for a number of years. He had antibiotic therapy but this did not make any difference. I was wondering if a doctor would prescribe a PET/ PSMA

"Undetectable"
We hear the term of "undetectable" with a psa of < .1 used so often. When I was first diagnosed and had an RALP I bought into the use of this theory. As the months clicked by and I was "undetectable" I was slowly gaining confidence and reassurance that this was true. Eight months later a .1 shattered

My discussion with chatGPT about senescence in PC induced by radiation and chemotherapy.
Q. Can adt cause senescence? A. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) primarily aims to reduce or block male hormones like testosterone that fuel prostate cancer growth. While ADT can significantly shrink tumors and lead to remission in many cases, it does not directly cause cellular senescence. However

What clinic trials have been successful?
My husband's next oncologist appointment is tomorrow. PSA is at 74. It has been a roller coaster ride since March 2017. Prostate removed with many complications in hospital. Was there for 2 weeks, which should have been 2 days. Was weak for several months after. Follow up appointment 3 months later

Comparing PSA Response With Apalutamide vs Enzalutamide in mCSPC
Treatment with apalutamide (Erleada) induced a deeper and earlier prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response compared with enzalutamide (Xtandi) in androgen receptor synthesis inhibitor-naive patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), according to findings from a real-world

Suggestions?
I have been on Lupron and Abiraterone for most of my 12 yrs since dx in 2012, including constantly for the last 7 years. PSA became measurable about 2 yrs ago. Largest tumor, which appeared to be the culprit for the rise was radiated and PSA became undetectable again. The last 16 months have seen my

Intravenous C
I was reading this short report (our BAT friends are involved) thinking it showed real promise for C, then in conclusion they say no. Agreed the p values are high, the CIs are wide, but the results were so lopsided that to me it merely means the trial was underpowered and C is worth a try. High-Dose

Positive case studies
Literature trawl - copy the text and paste into Google search to find papers. This is just the best bits. Jo 9 yearWe present a case of a patient with castration-resistant prostate cancer with proven bone lesions 2 years after the onset of the disease and the current survival of over 9 years. In 2013

Doublet Therapy for Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Hi all - Curious if anyone here was prescribed doublet therapy for metastatic prostate cancer? My dad, 73 (Initial PSA 151, Gleason 9, 4 small mets to pelvis, spine, tailbone) had an appointment today, and his MO indicated that he would like to proceed with doublet therapy. I wasn't aware he would
