The continuing saga of Scout and Coco, Not all change is welcome.
It is with sadness that I report that My "vacation" may come to an abrupt end . After cruising along with an Undetectable PSA for a little over 2+ years, my recent test results indicate a PSA of 0.03 and my Testosterone jumped from <7 to 13. The good news is my T is coming back but it looks like

Xtandi did not work.
Hi all, I'm new to this board but would love some feedback. My father, 80, has been dealing with prostate cancer for a few years. He had initially had radiation plus Lupron injections. His PSA started rising again a few years ago and he wound up on Lupron regularly. His PSA has been slowly rising

Rising PSA
I turned 87 just 3 days' ago. My QOL is still good: no pain, and a lot of physical activity. Fatigue is mostly annoying, but I generally can work through it. The issue is my concern with a slowly rising PSA. Today's blood test showed a PSA of 1.5. How concerned should I be, and are there steps to

Dutasteride Black Box Warning Label is Inappropriate.
This plot that I made goes back to the original paper by Thompson et al. (2003), that was the basis for slapping the Black Box Warning Label on Dutasteride prescriptions. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12824459/ There are some important points that should be considered: (1) Thompson only studied

Is PSMA PET Scan worth it when PSA<0.2
My MO recommends taking PET CT F18 -DCFPYL in case I want to go intermittent after two years of Lupron and Erleada. My PSA is still less than 0.2. I had one PSMA in March 2022 when PSA was rising to 1.03. Scan show 3 preaortic lymph nodes and two spot on ribs. Then 6 weeks RT and ADT (Lupron, Erleada

After Lupron I have been having seizures
Hi, In December 2023 I decided to finally undergo treatment for my prostate cancer, Gleason scale 6, with a high PSA of 63 (or 48 on another test) I had had this cancer for eight years WITHOUT it spreading. But doctors kept warning (I would almost say harassing) me, so... I underwent one shot of lupron

Length of Treatment for Orgovyx (Relugolix) versus Lupron and other Longer Acting ADT drugs as Adjuvant to RT or Used for IADT?
I'm curious if anyone has had any discussion with their MO or Radiation Oncologist about having to take a longer course of Orgovyx compared to Lupron or other longer acting ADT drugs because Testosterone comes back so much quicker on Orgovyx? It would seem to me, 6 months of Orgovyx is like the equivalent

PSA Rising and Falling during Chemo
I have been receiving chemotherapy since November 2023. Started with Docetaxel until it failed after 7 cycles. Switched to Cabazitaxel and currently on the 5th cycle. Since starting the Cabazitaxil my PSA has been raising and lowering. I am currently having some scans done to confirm if there is progression

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

Transrectal biopsy affects PSA readings for how long?
Hi Guys, Greetings to all. Just Joined this board. The last PSA test which I did which led to my diagnosis was 21. Bone Mets and Gleason 9. Had a biopsy done 3 weeks ago. Started Oral Orgovyx tablets 2 weeks ago. My question is for how long would a Transrectal prostate biopsy affect

Was there ever really a chance for a cure?
When I began the Stampede protocol 1 1/2 yrs ago, it was my understanding that two years of Zytiga/Prednisone and three years of Lupon with radiation to the pelvic area at the 7 mo - 1 yr mark gave a chance for a "cure" under my conditions (3+4 gleason, etc). Now, my non-medical view of things is convincing

Brain Fog or Dimentia?
Hey warriors! So how do you know if you have brain fog or the beginning of dementia? Is it possible to blame ADT and Zytiga? My husband has been on Ellegaard for five years and Zytiga for 2 1/2. Years, he seems to have a lot of memory issues lately, and I fear it’s only getting worse Any thoughts or

Seeking anyone familiar with aggressive small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer and/or with lurbinectedin as 2nd line chemotherapy.
A needle biopsy Oct 15, 2023 revealed that at least some of my metastatic prostate cancer in a lymph node had mutated to an aggressive small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer. (notable for CDK N1B, RB1, Tp53 mutations. MSS, TMB low) I had 4 cycles of carboplatin/etoposide chemotherapy, which ended
