What should I expect at the end?
My dad 77 year old had been battling castration resistant prostate cancer for many years. He was in remission for awhile (unsure exactly how long as he was secretive about the whole thing) however it made a huge comeback in January of 2022 and he has been through a short stint of chemo as well as

PSA still undectable
it’s been 4 months now since I didn’t have my ADT injection ( so 7 months since the last one). Continuing on Apalutamide as a monotherapy atm. Pleased to have experienced Christmas and a 3 week hol in Barbados with no bad news as Decembers have bed. Dodgy in the past. Back at work now - enjoyed

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has PSA from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER, PSA up to 1.85 on 1/29/24. Disappointing to say the least I see MO next week and presume we start the Plarify scan to identify source and possibly more radiation to kill it. Switch from Eligard to Orgovyx since

rls and leg weakness
This is a response to another post asking about correlation of RLS and numb hands and feet. I think there is a connection. However there are so many other possible explanations. A search of "nerveguard MD" does list RLS. But more common comorbidity explanations are pinching nerve fibers from carpel

PSA moving way too fast .
My prostate was removed 2002 at which time my PSA went to -0 . Five years later it came back and since than it kept on going up very slow till 2020 when I had COVID-19 which almost killed me . As soo as I started feeling better my PSA went from 12 to 25 in a very short time . I do check it every six

Open or Robotic Prostatectomy
Open or Robotic? A new wrinkle has cropped up in my journey towards prostatectomy. I have a penile implant whose reservoir is right next to my prostate. My surgeon (who I am reliably told is the best prostatectomy surgeon in the area, Dr L) told me that there is a risk of damaging the reservoir

liver biopsy- what does it mean.
Oncologist doctor ordered the biopsy last year but never really explained it. He only said that the cancer was caused by the prostate cancer. Which was a good sign. Immunohistochemical stains demonstrate tumor cells are positive for NKX3.1, PSA, TTF-1 and focally for CK20, while negative for CK7

Update on dads visit with his MO today
Took dad to his MO today, the appointment I was dreading, I was thinking they would say, were done since he has suspected LMD . This was not the case at all. His labs were all better than they have ever been, psa was 2 and kidney functions, testosterone everything was better than they have ever been

Retzius Sparing surgeon recommendations
Hello everyone. I’m 49 years old. I was diagnosed with PCa in 2018. It was determined Gleason 3+3 after biopsy, so we decided on Active Surveillance. I checked PSA religiously every 6 months and it hovered around 5 the whole time since the diagnosis. Last year during summer I believe I started experiencing

Add Nubeqa to Orgovyx?
Age 81. I had prostate radiation in 2021, and pelvic node radiation in 2023. PSA was 3.78 in Dec 2023. PSMA PET then showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, but spread to an abdominal node. I have started ADT with Orgovyx (relugolix) and want to add an ARI. The urologist wants

Provenge Underway
Morning folks, Well I completed my first cycle of Provenge yesterday and all seems well so far. I also met with MO to review recent genetic testing results and have confirmed a mutation BRiP1 which is associated with autosomal dominant hereditary ovarian cancer, autosomal recessive Fanconia anemia,

ADT + Zytiga holiday???
I've been on Orgovyx since 8/15/22 and Zytiga since 4/1/23. I'm also suffering from neuropathy from nerve damage that occurred in December 22. The nerve pain has gotten worse and my oncologist and neurologist are wondering if ADT or Zytiga are too blame. Anyone have experience with these drugs and

Docetaxel only partially successful
I had a full body MRI scan this week at Royal Marsden in London. The purpose was to assess the effectiveness of docetaxel after 3 infusions. The results have been very disappointing, and I'm struggling to keep a sense of perspective - not least because I was feeling so good, and had seen all of my previous

CT urogram
Hi all, when my husband first had symptoms synonymous with Pca he was sent for a CT urogram, we never knew his PSA result, this came back OK. 9 months later an MRI and a subsequent biopsy showed he was Gleason 9 with widespread bone metastasis. Has anyone else had a CT urogram which picked up Pca because

I am still struggling with treatment decisions - Help please.
I am struggling to decide on my treatment. The main point of conflict is HT or not, and LDR Brachytherapy (if I am eligible - because of a previous HOLEP) or IMRT. I also wonder if I should push hard for a 10-day earlier consultation at the risk of bad feeling. I welcome advice. In the UK - Referral

Is my cancer castrate resistant?
Since detection of abdominal and pelvic mesastasis by PSMA scan in October 2018, intermittant Lupron was very effective in keeping my cancer under control until July 2022. From July 2022 until now I have been on continuous Lupron because PSA refused to become undetectable. From July 2022 until August
