Chemo Failed
My dad finished Docetaxel in November. He went to oncologist today. His PSA went from 0.58 to 2.3. Things he tried: Lupron (on for years before failed) Zytiga (worked for 18 months) Orchidectomy Then the chemo. He is not a candidate for radiation because of a previous cancer. He is going to

Kratom Alternative
I've been using Kratom for over 7 years and until the last few months it has worked great for my restless legs. I'm looking for an alternative. I've read that THC oil can help but I just can't seem to get hold of it in the UK. I've also read that poppy seeds may help but again can't seem to get hold

Personal update
Ok, first blood work, 3 weeks after the last chemo of ARASENS protocol PSA is 0.39, it was 70 at diagnosis and 15 after 4-5 weeks (when I have started ARASENS) Testosterone 0.33 nmol/L well, that's it!

Delay date for Lupron injection
I am due to get my third 6 monthly dose of Lupron injection in late May. I plan to travel during that time. Is there any harm if I should postpone the injection date by 2 or 3 weeks beyond the 6 months dateline?My PSA reading is currently below 0.1 ug/l. Secondly, I am contemplating going on ADT vacation

Docetaxel results so far
People want to know if Docetaxel is worth doing due to the side effects. My husband just had a recent PSMA PET scan after 5 treatments and the result is compared with the same scan method done before treatment began: [i]Impression (Summary)[/i] [i]Mild improvement in subcarinal adenopathy, left lung

PSA went up after three treatments of chemotherapy
I have had 3 Chemotherapy treatments with Docataxel. before the first treatment PSA was 89. after the first treatment PSA was 73.31.. after the second treatment PSA was 52.82. after the third treatment, PSA was 73.31.. does it make sense to take another chemotherapy treatment since the PSA has risen

Post treatment post ADT time to PSMA test
Where I am receiving treatment, ADT, LD Brachytherapy, LINAC radiotherapy (15) sessions.. PSMA pet scans are not available (Japan). I planning on ending adjuvant ADT therapy within a few months and am aware of the lasting effects on testosterone (will take 6-12 months for decent testosterone levels .

Any experience with Intraductal Cancer?
Not sure how this works. Hopefully you can read my profile to see where I'm at. If not, I repeat it here. My GP recommended biopsy after several annual PSA results around 4.0 Was on active surveillance since diagnosis in 2019 with biopsy Gleason 6 in two cores. Similar result in annual biopsies

Unsure of best option in early prostate cancer diagnosis.
I have had PSA tests annually for 10 years and in Oct 2023 had an elevated 6.42 result. Was referred to a urologist, whom performed a DRE. There was prostate enlargement but no tumor discovered through DRE. After discussing several options, I decided to have a biopsy on Nov 21, 2023. Dec 5, 2023,

Provenge (only) - impact on overall survival
I just got insurance approval for Provenge...out of pocket is really high so now I'm doing a cost benefit analysis in my mind. I've seen many different articles showing that Provenge ALONE only extends overall survival by 4-15 months. Does that sound correct? Tall_Allen mentioned adding xofigio for

To Chemo or Not to Chemo--that is the ?
Should I follow my MO's advice and do docetaxel? Since I'm now 78, and have read terrible accounts of chemo, I have held onto the belief that I would do everything to avoid chemo since the treatment appears to be worse than the alternative. But she's really not giving me an alternative, other than

combining standard PCA care with alternative care
In a three month period my PSA went from 58 to 70. Obviously my testosterone was producing more new cancer cells than my alternative treatment. I started the combination treatment on Dec 1 by taking 2 ORGOVYX. Dec 15 my PSA is 27.5 and I will take one more ORGOVYX today hoping to reduce PSA to 10
