Long Journey
Hey Guys, I don’t post on here often and I’m afraid this will be a long post. I have had PCa over 18 years. Started with casodex, Lupron. A few months later, brachytherapy then 42 sessions of EBRT. Over the years PSA would rise, and I would be put on Lupron for 18-24 months. In 2017, PSA started rising

Newly diagnosed stage 4 prostate cancer, age 77, PSA in low 20 range. PSMA (type of PET scan) revealed metastasis to 7 bone sites, with intermittent hip pain alleviated with Tylenol.

... what, then, do we die of?
New study of SEER data below [1]. The old comforting words that men with PCa "die with the disease, not of it" does not apply once mets occur, of course, but is largely true for local disease (the majority of cases in the U.S., due to screening practices.) It has long been known that men with PCa

How long to Castrate Resistance: ADT+/- ARSI
Further discussion on details of EMBARK study on another HU forum bears restating here (IMO). For high risk BCR (and beyond) ADT combined with ARSI (in this case enzalutamide) is clearly superior to either monotherapy. However, development of castrate resistance between ADT + Enza vs. Enz monotherapy

Any difference between 6 month lupron or 6 month elegard injection?
Hi, I’m currently on 3 month lupron injection and doing well with PSA of >0.01 and asked my doctor if there is a 6 month injection. I’ve asked twice and twice he sent a prescription for Elegard instead of Lupron. Should I stay on Lupron? Is there any difference between the two?

4.7 PSA
Had my levels tested a year ago which was 3.2 and just last week they were tested again which shows 4.7. Considering my age my consultant thinks it's just inflammation but has ordered a MRI to have it checked. Is 4.7 any reason to be concerned?

How long have you taken prostap?
I’m wondering how long people have taken prostap? I’ve been on it for 4 years now (I was 36 when i went into chemical menopause) and so far so good. I’m lucky enough to have no real side effects from it. I’m on it because due to a complicated medical history and I’m due to stay in it until I Go in

had 4 treatments of Pluvicto is not dropping PSA
My Husband has had 4 treatments of Pluvicto 6 weeks apart. The first treatment dropped my PSA by over 100 points; however, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th PSA climbed rapidly. My question is, Should he continue the treatment if it is not working for him?? Thank you, Concerned wife.

Started MRI Guided SBRT at MSK
After 2.5 years on active surveillance with Dr. Ehdaie at Memorial Sloan Kettering, my cancer progressed to GL 4+3 (Unfavorable Intermediate Risk) and I needed definitive treatment. I opted for MRI guided SBRT with Dr. Sean McBride after getting a second opinion from Dr. Kishan at UCLA. I started

Full circle with metastatic prostate cancer
I have gone full circle with my disease. Diagnosed at 52 in 2017 with PSA 100. 6 years later PSA is back to 100 with new spread of mets though out skeleton. I have done all the SOC treatments and changed diet. The cancer has found a way around it all. I have continued working through out but now I have

Do low PSA-producing cells still rely on testosterone to grow?
Am curious to know what the folks here know about this question. If higher PSA cells are driven to near extinction by ADT, and if only low-PSA producing cells survive, are the latter still dependent on testosterone for survival? If not, what do they depend on to grow?

Does triplet Therapy still work if you've failed Enza?
As most posters know the UK doesn't allow for other 'mides' once you've failed Xtandi (as I have done) But I am considering buying Abi from India to add to my Lupron and Docetaxel. Has anyone had success with Abi after Xtandi failure? Is the triplet therapy likely to work for me? And does it have to

PMR or PsA or both
My Rheumatologist left the practice and I meet with a new one last week. He says that he is not sure I have PsA but maybe only PMR. Wants me to stop methotrexate immediately and try reducing prednisone my 1 mg a month. Currently are 12.0 mg. Happy about this nut scared too. If he is wrong, when and

Fatigue after eating
Husband is getting very sleepy after all meals. His sugar is always below 100 when tested, he takes levothyroxine for low thyroid (waiting for over 2 weeks now on latest blood work and TSH results from PCP. *sigh* He's taking a statin (can't remember the name) and Tamsulosin.
