PSA suppression
My PSA lows tend to be around 3.3, and it occurs to me that some might think it odd that I don't drive it lower. I think it is very common for men on ADT to draw too much comfort from a significant PSA reduction, if not a near-zero PSA. I have witnessed men misinterpret a dramatic drop in PSA as

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?

Enzalutamide + Lupron
There was a new study released last week to show Enzalutamide + Lupron for high risk patients after RP or Radiation. I had RP 3/22 and PSA rising to .14 by 8/22 when I started Orgovyx and then later Zytiga. I've been having neuropathy side effects from Zytiga and interested if this might be better.

History of my cancer becoming castrate resistant
Thinking that some people might be interested to know how my metastatic cancer became castrate resistant I posting a brief history. When on Lupron break, my PSA reached 1.1 on June 1, 2022. I had a CT scan which found a new lymph node enlargement [Retrocaval lymph node measures 0.5 x 1.1 cm (series

infusion Side Effects
good morning fellow warriors. My PSA continues to move up so my oncologist ordered 20 sessions of radiation. The radiation was a walk in the park compared to the 1030-1048 Zometa infused Wednesday morning. Holy cow ! Peed (a few dribbles) every half hour. Chills then sweats. Bone ache throughout and

Hi again, re: Cannabis/THC use for PC
The answers I am getting are more for pain relief. Have there been any studies linking cannabis/THC to curative effects for PC or lowering PSA? Or is it just used for pain relief? Any studies on proven benefits beyond pain relief? Thanks so much. Ran across this study: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc

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

THC/ Cannabis having Curative Effects for PC???
Ran across this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7503992/ But is there any proof that THC helps to cure PC or lower PSA? I believe it’s used for pain relief, but are its benefits been proven beyond that? Thank you very much.

MOST RECENT PSA and TESTOSTERONE TEST
My PSA and testosterone test results have been PSA .01 and T 11 since July of 2022. I had my quarterly test done yesterday and my PSA is at .02 and T is at 21.5. They are still undetectable, but not sure what caused the rise. I've only been on Firmagon for 1 year and 4 months so I hope it doesn't

PSMA PET Scan Frequency?
Hello forum members. This is my first post but have learned so much here, thanks to the contributors on this site. My husband’s last and only PSMA PET scan was 1.5 years ago showing 6 mets in small bones after PSA consistently rose a year after radiation. The standard ADT treatment was prescribed

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

Coming off Prostap & Tibolone?
Hello all. Wondering if anyone could tell me their experience of coming off a course of Prostap (with or without Tibolone/HRT) please? If you’ve been through this, can I ask whether you just stop cold turkey? Or is it done gradually? Do you need to let your gynae know? Or was it just done on your
