BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

HoLEP Affect on Pca
as posted earlier, I have both BPH (80 cc) and localized prostate cancer. Clear PSMA. I’m having HoLEP surgery. Wonder how this will impact the cancer. How will PSA respond? What happens if HoLEP actually removed the cancer?

Helpful group
Hello All, This group has been very helpful in providing information and suggestions on PC. I was diagnosed in Sept. 23 as Stage 4, Gleason 7 with all core samples testing positive and one met to the sacrum. Just completed 28 rounds of IMRT and have been on Lupron, Xtandi and Zometa for the last two

Decisions re possible surgery
Hi I'm 43 with endometriosis and adenmyosis. Initially diagnosed with endo at 29 via laperoscopy. After chatting with the endometriosis nurse it seems these are my options. 1. Stay as I am (mirena coil in situ) and be referred for pain management. 2. Zoladex injections (chemical menopause). 3. Surgery

Prostap help!
I wondered if anyone else experienced this and if so how they managed it. Since the birth of my second child 9 months ago I have continuously bled and have had constant period pain! I’ve had normal ultrasound scans, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy. My gynaecologist cannot find what’s going on. The only

Period after Prostap
I had prostap for 7 months for endometriosis and stopped as I developed high blood pressure. My last injection was due 3rd Jan which I declined and my periods still haven’t returned (6 months since last injection was due). How long have people waited for their periods to return? I have gained a stone

Endometriosis help! Upper body endo and prostap injections
Hi all, just after some advice or if anyone has been though something similar, I would love to hear your story. I'm nearly 40, and first got diagnosed with endometriosis in my early 20s. A few surgeries, 1 ectopic pregnancy and 2 children later have had very few symptoms (yeyy). After I had a coil fitted

Overall Survival With [177]Lu-PSMA-617 vs Cabazitaxel in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
The Lancet Oncology TAKE-HOME MESSAGE TheraP was a phase II trial that compared the efficacy of radioligand therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 with that of cabazitaxel in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who had previously received docetaxel. After a median follow-up of 35.7 months

Criteria for "my ADT has stopped working and we have to move to another"
Hello - So my third post ADT initiation (Lupron+Abi) PSA test is coming up and since it was <.1 six weeks ago, I asked how the criteria of “has stopped working” works -to my Hopkins MO and I got this - “We want to declare a therapy no longer effective when PSA is clearly going up. We look for 0.3

Finally got a diagnosis of Endometriosis today
I've been on such a journey with my pelvic pain. I'm 50 and I had a hysterectomy 4 months ago for fibroids. A laparoscopy ruled out Endo last year. I was pain free for the first time in months. I started hrt and my original pains 6 weeks ago came back with a vengeance just like they did last year when

Can Nubeqa (Darolutamide) be used instead of normal ADT drugs for localized PCa?
Hi all. Australia has just given the green light to lower the cost of this so-called wonder drug from a staggering $40K (AUD) to a low $30. It seems that this drug has fewer side effects than the usual ADT drugs and from what I can gather does a pretty good job of preventing the growth and spread
