After APCa treatment ends
A lot of folks will see their APCa treatment come to an end, hopefully due to good PSA levels and scans. But the end of treatment is the beginning of living with no net under you, with periodic checkups and scans, with emotional stress especially since LT SE's may continue, change or crop-up, and last

Senescent neutrophils and their subsequent impact on tumor progression and therapy resistance
I will comment after studying this for awhile, but it does open up an additional treatment path(s?) for PCa. (Excerpts) Calcinotto's team discovered that prostate tumor cells produce a molecule, ApoE, which can bind to and influence a type of immune cells, neutrophils, resulting in these cells acquiring

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of radiotherapy accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment. I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that

Now my cancer is now under control, my wife no longer wants to be with me.
I was diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer, bladder and pelvis in late 2019. I went straight on Casodex and 2 years of Eligard shots. 9 rounds of Docetaxel, kidney stents and VMAT radiation therapy. Following my last PET scan, no new growth was evident and my PSA has been under 1.0 for the last

radiation whack-a-mole?
My stage IV prostate cancer has gone castrate resistant ... I've been taking androgen blockers (Eligard injections 90 days plus daily 1gm of abiraterone) for five years. The primary treatment in summer 2018 was external beam radiation. In 2021 I had cyberknife radiation to new lesions in spinal vertebrae

ART mpMRI Accuracy Detecting Serious PCa Revised Criteria for Biopsy
231211 ART mpMRI Accuracy Detecting Serious PCa Revised Criteria for Biopsy I am a big proponent for use of a mpMRI during AS (active surveillance). I also believe it has a place in the routine monitoring of PCa in men who have not been diagnosed with PCa. I had PSA’s well below 4.0 and neither

Small cell advanced prostate cancer spread to liver and lungs.
This is a request for a near neighbour and friend of mine, Justin, who lives 2 streets away in the UK. He is appx. 53. Please do not read the history in my profile as that sadly relates to me. Justin was diagnosed with a PSA over 100 and widespread to bones. Justin has burned through the treatments in

Any ideas for hot flashes? Getting worse.
Dx in 8/2020 with Gleason 8. Had RP 11/2020. One lymph node involved so MO/RO at MGH recommended aggressive treatment. Went on Lupron and Abi for 2 years and 39 radiation treatments. All drug treatment ended in April of this year. Hot flashed started after a few months on Lupron and were bearable

PsA diagnose
I'm told I have PsA now and not PMR. On prednisone and MTX. 20 mg methotrexate and reducing prednisone down to now 14 mgIs having PsA mean that what I read on this forum for PMR not meaningful? This forum is so informative.

Intense jaw pain (pt.2)
Three months ago my husband developed intense right jaw pain. After multiple scans showing "something" (thankfully no PSMA activity) he had a surgical bone biopsy 11/29. Two days ago we received the pathology report but have not been able to speak with the Dr. to help us understand it. The good news

3,100 PSA!
After two (2) Pluvicto infusions, my PSA went from 2,000. to 3,000. I haven't had any hormone treatments for approximately six months, and was subsequently told my Dr. should have kept me on Standard of Care (SoC) right through Pluvicto. Q1: Anyone out there know of any options open to me in this

PSA rise but scans are clear. Appetite and activity level are 0
I have spoken on here a few times about my dad who is on Erleada + ADT but it has failed. They have done quite a few scans recently because he is in significant pain. But all scans have come back “clear” in that there is no significant change in metastasis etc. we are at a point now where he barely

Does anyone have symptoms that are linked to urinary problems. I had TURPS surgery about 3 years ago which went ok but my nocturia symptoms have never gone away. I often wake up at night 3 or 4 times with the urge to urinate both nothing comes. When I have a bad night it often coincides with a bad bout

Interesting PSA observation
For my prostate cancer journey, please see my bio. In 06/2023 I was also diagnosed with testicle lymphoma, maybe as a side effect of earlier radiation. Testicle has been removed, PET/CT & co showed no other evidence of cancer. So I perform four cycles of R-CHOP chemo regimen. Why I post this here? After

Testosterone issue.
I had a follow up visit with my PCP last month. Of course he knows about my advanced PC. He ordered a round of lab blood exams, as always. About a week later, I got a call from his office to tell me PCP is is concerned about low testosterone count<50 and wants to repeat lab exam, they told me come early

This is by far the best overview paper I have seen on the topic of AR metabolism and the nature of treatment resistance for mainstream SOC drugs currently in use. Recommended reading for those wanting to more fully understand their disease. Here is the Abstract: [i]

ADT for a year?
Had intermediate grade PC no spread, had SBRT. Three months out my Psa is .03. Am on Lupron for the fourth month out of a projected 12 month stint. Do docs ever say, six or nine months is enough? Testosterone at 6 right now.

New Here. Overwhelmed.
48 yrs old. PSA Blood test from a physical came back with a reading of 100. Biopsy results came back with 2 Gleason 4+4's and the rest 4+3's earlier this week. Appointment with urologist Monday to discuss these results. I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared. What is the next step for me? Also does anyone
