After father was diagnosed. Several family member went and tested themselves with PSA tests. My husband was 39 years old and his PSA test came back 1,9 and this year at 40 years his PSA was 1,6, free PSA added 0,4 ( which was good). I read somewhere that PSA 1,5 and higher is of concern. I feel

After Radiation, what should PSA be?
intermediate pc, with 3+4, 3+4, and 4+3. PSMA clean. Went through SBRT, am on Lupron. Seven months in. usual side effects, especially exhaustion. I went for a PSA and testosterone test today. Should my PSA be undetectable?

After diagnosis of prostate cancer I found the U of Marylands success terminating cancer with clioquinol + zinc. They emphasis treatment for prolactin dependent cancer that my doctors didn't seem to know existed. Anyone else find that to be true?

low dose abiraterone and possible pain
Hello everyone, i am new here for my dad and found this community very helpful. Does anybody here find low dose protocol of abiraterone effective? Also, how do you treat bone pain? Or how do you determine if pain is coming from the bone or some other factors like chronic pelvic-prostate syndrome?

Wait or start docetaxel?
Currently taking Nubeqa and Orgovyx but PSA doubling time is only 7 weeks and PSMA scan shows activity in abdominal lymph nodes, 2 vertebrae and 2 ribs. MO suggested DORA Clinical trial (everyone gets docetaxel, half get radium) but the head of a trial I was previously in at NIH feels that unless a CT

Could I try BAT to restore sensitivity to previously used antiandrogen treatments.
I failed Abiraterone and SOC doesn't allow the switch to Enzalutamide. I was reading on the use of BAT to resensitize mCRPC. Would this be a therapy that could work or is it too late now that I have failed. I know its not SOC but I am running out of choices and looking for some clarity. Its basically

Enzalutamide any advice/tips for dealing with side effects
Stage 4 PCA for last 3 years. Had 6 cycles of Chemo and then Abiraterone for 18+ months (PSA dropped to 0.2 then more recently rose to 58 in June '23 ). Abiraterone eventually stopped working and I was able to join Radium 223 trial. Completed 5 of 6 cycles of Radium 223, then elected to stop since scans

Coagulation markers as independent predictors of prostate cancer aggressiveness.
New study below [1]. Altered coagulation factors are an early event in PCa. Indeed, the first sign of PCa in some men may be a deep vein thrombosis [DVT. The study authors wondered if there were coagulation factors associated with aggressive disease. Only fibrinogen & D-dimer were determined

Aetna appeal for Firmagon denial
My husband was diagnosed with high risk aggressive prostate cancer, Gleason 9. Plus one para rectal node positive. The doctor prescribed 2 years of ADT plus 5 weeks of IMRT. Had first 240 mg dose of firmagon on September 14 with no major side effects so far. Doctor used firmagon to avoid testosterone

Pain that worsens upon movement? And triggers longer episodes of pelvic pain if I’ve been lifting or especially walking anywhere.
So, just over 3 years ago, I had a tubo-ovarian abscess, which I was in hospital for around a week with… It’s likely that this may have been caused by the coil itself and a consequent infection. Managed conservatively at the time but after repeated infections and severe pain, I was finally offered surgery

Quick follow up to PSA Bounce
RO called today and told me not to be concerned that my 1st PSA was 12 after original was 9 in March. He said that there are likely a few reasons. - remaing inflammation in prostate from treatment (I was tested 58 days after completing SBRT) -possible mild prostatitis -possible infection He said

What next after Docetaxel...?
On 4/19/23 I was seen by the trial MO to confirm the previous recommendation of 10 sessions of of Docetaxel after the new liquid biopsy confirmed the first one with no mutations. Meanwhile, the PSA has risen to 115 before a kidney issue and to about 350 just before Chemo. On 12/06/2023, after 9 sessions
