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

Good day to all! I’ve been faithfully reading this forum for a little while, and have found it interesting and helpful, sometimes even encouraging. So, my diagnosis was in April of this year (2023): stage four prostate cancer with considerable metastasis to bone (ribs, sternum, pelvis). PSA was

Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
Hi, I'm 68 years old. Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a PSA value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle. Also the fat plane between the rectum and prostate is lost

PSA level vs vasectomy question
When I had my tubes cut, they were not sewn up or cauterized which I believe is standard practice (in states), I elected to just have a .375" chunk cut out of each of them then and everything stuffed back inside and sewn back scrotum. I did this so they would never be able to be reconnected or reversed

PSA Doubled in 2 Months
PSA end of August was 0.12 now 0.24. I met with 2 ROs to discuss treatment when my PSA was 0.20 a week ago . One suggested ADT 18-24 months and prostate bed radiation. Second RO says we can avoid ADT for now as he sees 0.70 as the value he believes requires ADT. I'm scheduled for F18 PSMA scan in early

Whats high PSA? ( when you havent been diagnosed with prostate cancer)
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

6 months after radiation
I had SBRT in September and all went well. My semen was a bit brownish at first, but now has become bloody red. I went for blood work and my PSA has dropped significantly and I do not have an infection. I’m wondering what the issue could be…seems like it would have cleared by now?

Update and about to start Radiation
Hi all - just a summary so far. Have been doing the triplet and recently finished the 6 sessions of chemo. Had my CT and Bone scans and then follow up with MO on Friday. All is as we expect - nothing shown in CT. Bone scan shows no new "uptake" in the mets places and nothing new. PSA at .41. I am

Chemo or clinical trial?
Am scheduled for bone biopsy of met(s) from my hip tomorrow. Stopped Pluvicto after #3 due to rising PSA and progression. Hoping to get next gen. sequencing from biopsy sample and (maybe) functional testing. But, it's going to take some time to get results and I feel I can't wait. Pain has been getting

copper chelation is not something from the past: phase 2 trial gives hope!
