Erectile Leaking

Radiation and Large Median Lobe
I went to my first Urologist appointment because of urinary problems. A DRE discovered a lump that was diagnosed as Gleason 7 (3+4). It was also discovered that I had a large median lobe that was likely the cause of my slow stream and urgency. There was a discussion between my Urologist (wanted to

New hope for castrate resistant prostate cancer on the horizon
A new experimental drug is in development that reverses castrate resistance and makes the cancer amenable to further treatment. Early days yet but it looks interesting. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/oct/16/new-prostate-cancer-treatment-may-be-on-the-horizon-say-scientists

The Science is Coming
Good to see the mini AZD5069 trial with enzalutamide offering another route to taming the beast. I am no scientist but as I understand it the target is myeloid white blood cells which can act to fuel tumours. The drup blocks the CXCR2 receptor and, in a small sample seems to have resulted in tumour shrinkage

FDG+/PSMA- lesions
My dad has metastatic CRPC. Xtandi failed, but at the moment he is still on it as we evaluate possible treatment options. Today we received also results of PSMA PET CT - it it stated, that there are discrepancies (loss of PSMA expression) with at least 4 bone mets when compared to findings of FDG (

Things have gone from bad to worse; need some hope and guidance.
Hi, Oh man what a terrible 10 days it has been. I wrote a couple weeks ago how my dad didn't seem to be responding to his Docetaxel re-challenge. "Before his first round of chemo Dec 20- PSA: 182 ALP:518 LDH:357 After his first round of chemo Jan 9- PSA: 281 ALP: 916 LDH:759 After his second round

Accuracy of PSMA PET scan?
What would you venture to guess is the accuracy of the PSMA PET scan? How many of you showed "no spread" with your PSMA scan, but then learned via surgery or otherwise that there WAS spread which wasn't detected with the PSMA scan? And, how much better is the new Posluma scan vs Pylarify? My husband

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

Post-op PSA jump .06 to 1.1
Hey guys, I'm not a math person, but this seems to be way more than "doubling." More like 18x? Not finding any literature online that addresses this big of a jump. What the...? My urologist is currently in Europe. Wondering if any of you have experienced that big of a jump and survived. (If you did

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

PSA in lower range, yet PSMA PET SCAN shows diffuse bone Metastasis
Dear all , my father latest Total PSA level shows 6.24 which is down after touching 10.45. He was given one infusion of Docetaxel, however, he has been weaned off due to adverse reactions he has had, as his overall condition worsened and he had lot of prolonged mouth sores, with WBCs touching .08 and

treatment or no treatment?
it’s been almost 3 years since i was diagnosed with a Gleason 8 prostate cancer, confined to the prostate. To date I have elected not to be treated but instead have been monitoring my PSA levels. Originally this was 6 now 15. I am 66 with no symptoms and no other health issues. I have declined treatment
