What Helps Me With Hypochondria
Like many of you, my OCD often takes the form of hypochondria. I can't tell you the number of times I thought I was dying or the number of times I went to see a doctor because of some minor symptom. I've developed some coping strategies which helped me. I thought I'd share them here. 1. No checking

Targeting Mets w SBRT- what’s your experience?
Have any of you guys had any luck targeting distant metastases with SBRT after your mets remained small or dormant while on ADT but after PSMA scans had showed more in number than olago (more than five mets)? My PSMA scan in January 2022 showed 10 scattered small mets so our area SBRT (Cyberknife) radiation

Radiation and hydrogel spacer and RO

Prostap long protocol
Hi everyone,I'm due to have a scan tomorrow to confirm whether we can proceed to egg collection on Monday (5th Feb) I am doing a long protocol and my prostap injection runs out on Saturday (3rd Feb) do any of you know if I'll have to do another one? It's a slow release injection so lasts for 28 days

BCR May Not Be a Strong Surrogate End Point for Prostate Cancer Survival
A new study, below [1] & [2]. In 2004 I came across old studies that showed that ADT promotes changes to the androgen receptor [AR] environment. At diagnosis, the AR is invariably "wild type". When ADT failed, AR gene amplification was common. True mutations were rare. {This was sufficient for

PSA At Very Low Levels But Starting to Rise
My PSA started to rise from undetectable up to about .36 in July 2021 after 9 years of treatment. My MO reviewed a PSMA and decided to have my largest tumor radiated. My PSA went below .05 once again shortly thereafter. My most recent PSA labs were : .05, .06, .06, and .09 last week. I am conferring

What category of Intermediate Risk Am I?
I am trying to make a decision regarding HT with RT. I am 78. I have CKD 3b, and a solitary kidney. I am 6.5 years in remission from UTUC kidney cancer. A number of papers indicate that HT could be detrimental to my kidney. Those with FIR PCa could avoid HT with little risk. The following is defined

how long typically does it take from diagnosis to treatment?
Hello, my father was just diagnosed with advanced aggressive prostate cancer Gleason 9-10 (TBC). Bone scan and CT scan are next to check for spread (please God it hasn’t), but the scans are not for another 2.5 weeks! Then follow-up to discuss results a full week after that. Which seems insane that we

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans

B/C ratio
Is there a connection between prostate cancer and BUN/Creatinine ratio? Mine almost doubled in the last three months. Couldn't find anything out from Doctor Google :) Thanks.

Big decsions regarding SRT/ADT due to BCR post RP
My husband was had a robotic radical prostatectomy 1/2019 with no major complications or side effects. Gleason 4+3, negative margins and no positive lymph nodes. There was cribiform invasion of a nerve but all margins of the prostate and 0/13 LN were negative after surgery. His post surgical PSA was

Psa is back
Well I made it to 27 months of upsa testing after my surgery and went from <0.01 to my first detectable of 0.01. Don’t know what this means but I guess the next few upsa tests will be telling. Maybe a lab variation maybe not.

My initial MRI and wait time for biopsy
Just got my MRI. PSA rising slowly for 3 years from 4.0 to 5.1. The MRI indicates a pi-Rad level 4 lesion 10 ml, well defined with no infiltration. Either base peripheral zone 11 to 12 o clock or transitional mid gland zone 11 to 12 o clock. Will get the location cleared up. I have an MRI fusion

Switch from Lupron/abi to Orgovyx/abi?
As I approaching my third 3 month shot of Lupron I wonder if Orgo might push out my time fence to MCRP more than Lupron, but I don't see anything on it. Lupron/abi dropped my PSA and TT very quickly so that is not an advantage, but the side effects are considered to be less - though my side effects
