Since TTC my second child (started IVF again in August last year) I’ve had a miscarriage (untested embryo) and two failed transfers (these were euploid embryos). I have a niche and my consultant

At what point for scan ?
Hi. Currently just had # 4 chemo. Live in Canada so PSMA has never been done . Bone scan and CT scan. I'm wondering at what point it would be good to get a scan ( they already said it would probably be a CT scan as that's all we have in my province and eventually another bone scan which He has to fly

Chemo progress
PSA 139 @ DX1-2024 started Orgovyx and Nubeqa dropped PSA to 62.93. Started Chemo 1st infusion..PSA 23.3 2nd infusion..PSA 11.26 3rd infusion.. PSA 7.45 Just got my labs back for the 3rd infusion. Just feel disappointed as I was hoping for a larger drop and seemed to have stalled out. Does it look

Similar question to Ezzedine. PSA rising

Whilst under ADT and for 1 year after ADT conclusion my PSA was 0.01 (indecipherable) Then a year ago my PSA was 0.02, then 0.03 and last

Bicalutamide
My Dad last week was diagnosed with 3 spots of cancer on his prostate. 3+4=7, 4+4=8, and a 4+3=7 spot. The thing I don’t understand is during the visit to the Urologist to discuss his biopsy results, the urologist prescribed 50mg of Bicalutamide to begin reducing his testosterone. I believe this is premature

Hi all What questions should I ask my radio oncologist as we finish up radiotherapy for oligo metastatic prostate cancer Which included radiation of distant metastatic lymph nodes, as well as the prostate and local pelvic lymph nodes? Also should I expect him to recommend a follow up psma pet-ct scan

PSA vs Testosterone plot has large scatter, but still confirms Morgentaler's Saturation Model.
Here are two plots comparing PSA values to Testosterone levels taken from a pair of large data sets. What is striking is the large amount of scatter in the individual data from both datasets, with factors of 2-6 X deviations from the average (or median) values. The upper plot has N = 255 data points

Hello, I recently shared that my Dad was diagnosed with aggressive Gleason 10 prostate cancer. CT and bone scan confirmed this week he has bone mets in his spine (within L5 vertebrae). This is very shocking and heartbreaking to our family - his only symptom was more frequent urination - he does not
