Being Thankful----Year 6
Greetings FPC members: Each year, I try and post at holiday times of reasons to be thankful regarding PCa developments, and I am thankful for so many things that I have, but we can all be thankful for : 1) NCI and it's support of clinical trials ( including the trials of cancer drugs like RRX-001

Order of treatment?
My husband has been on Abiraterone for 5 months during which time his PSA has risen,. Before that he had had 6 rounds of Docetaxel which also saw his PSA rise. Having waited for 6 weeks to have a biopsy and get the results for neuroendocrine PC (he didn’t have it) his oncologist has said he can either

New meta-analysis shows docetaxel benefits those having high grade/low PSA prostate cancer

Thinking about stopping Xgeva
When my urologist suggested I see an oncologist I was immediately put on Abi and had a Dexa bone scan scheduled. That was August and scan was done Dec. In the meantime he started me on Xgeva because I had been on adt for 16 months. He agreed to 1 injection every 3 months after 6 months even though my

On treating micro-metastatic disease
I watched a video posted by PCRI recently on YouTube. In the video entitled "Treating micro-metastatic disease", Dr Mark Scholz mentioned that undergoing one year of ADT is sufficient post radiation. Thereafter just monitor the PSA for any rise, and use PSMA PET scan to locate any cancer and to radiate

secondary cancer
Has anyone been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer as well as prostate cancer? My husband is getting ready to have a bone marrow biopsy to see if that is what is going on. I have read that chemo and radiation can lead to bone cancers😖

Happy Thanksgiving Eve
Also Happy Hump Day 😁 https://youtu.be/PBsjggc5jHM?si=JPeepmKsrlzyNL0E Silly Kaiser thinks that Abiraterone is chemo and won't mail it, so gotta go down to Bakersfield monthly to get it, but this time I brought Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts for the AIS Cancer Center Onco and Radiation staff.

ONCT-534 Earns FDA Fast Track Designation in R/R Metastatic CRPC
Looks like a number of Drug companies are creating drugs that interact with the AR’s N-terminal domain and ligand-binding domain, impeding cell growth and enabling AR degradation. ONCT-534 Earns FDA Fast Track Designation in R/R Metastatic CRPC October 27, 2023 Investigators will assess

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
Hi everyone. Just got back from appointment with Dad's oncologist. To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his ADT injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one

PSA rise from initial Pluvicto treatment
I am curious if most of you that have been through Pluvicto experienced a PSA rise initially? I just finished my first injection, and did see a bit of a jump in PSA level. I had a similar experience in the SPLASH trial last year. After the first Lu177 injection, my PSA shot up quite a lot. This got

Pluvicto pain
my father has undergone 3 infusions of Pluvicto. He has psma and fdg completed with no significant discordance. I understand tumour flare tends to occur within the first week after infusion but he tends to have more discomfort towards the end of the cycle. We aren’t sure if it’s bone pain or muscle

Orchiectomy
I have metastatic cp to the bone. I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current PSA is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also

How can I support my brother?
My brother has advanced prostate cancer and has had surgery. New tests show it has metastasised in his hip. I want to be able to support him but also don't want to say the wrong thing or add to the stress he is already feeling. I would appreciate ANY advice ~ thank you so much.

New gene links to mHSPC
Article from cancertherapyadvisor.com Genes Linked to Aggressive Prostate Cancer Researchers say they have identified genes that should be considered for gene panel testing in prostate cancer. The researchers found evidence to suggest that variants in BRCA2, ATM, NBN, MSH2, XRCC2, and MRE11A are
