Elevated Body Mass Index Is Associated with Improved Overall Survival

Post menopause, pernicious anaemia and endometriosis
Diagnosed with endomeriosis over 15 years years ago, had Prostap injections for 6 months, with little success and opted to try Mirena Coil first before hysterectomy. Mirena was a god send for me, it was great at controlling my symptons, I've had 3 mirena coils in total. The first one for a year

They say "Don't be concerned yet", I hear "Oh, crap"
Treatments thus far in my bio, but summary is RP in April 2019 (pT2N0M0) and then 6 month Lupron & salvage radiation to prostate bed January 2023. PSA <0.01 in January as expected with T=23, April showed T=176 (low normal), PSA < 0.01, and now in July T=281, PSA = 0.02. My RO stated "...while that PSA

PSA going in wrong direction
Finished 37 radiation treatments to aortic lymph nodes a week ago after a PSMA scan highlighted three avid nodes in August. Started orgovyx three weeks ago and nubeqa four days ago. Visit with my MO revealed a PSA increase from .21 in August to .7 today. Seems the numbers are defying the treatment.

Never get tired of annoucing I am STILL undetectable
108 bottles of Zytiga on the shelf. Got my latest PSA and blood test results. Once again, officially 8 years 9 months since November 2014 results, PSA still undetectable at <.008. Another Zero candy bar for me. (I bought a few, and been handing them out like cigars after a new birth.) I have had somewhat

Cytoreductive Prostatectomy & Oligometastatic PCa.
New meta-analysis below [1]. The day that I had a prostatectomy, my surgeon had another operation. The man was found to have cancer in a lymph node, so was stapled-up with his prostate intact. This was in 2004 & debulking was considered to be pointless since the patient would be receiving systemic

Treatment - radiation vs. surgery
Hello, I posted previously after I was first diagnosed and had some great feedback. I wanted to try once more after being able to spend the past couple of months researching and trying to make the best treatment decision moving forward. For anyone similarly affected, it might help to reflect on what

scans after chemo looking promising
Diagnosed with low PSA - a Turp surgery biopsy diagnosed Gleason 9, scans showed spread to pelvic lymph nodes. Lupron and Zytiga for 6 months, and then scans showed spread to cervical lymph nodes. Only 6 months to castrate resistant. Just finished 4th round of Chemo (Dox with Carboplatin) Scans

Good News Update on my Joe
This Friday Joe will get his 4th dose of Pluvicto. His PSA dropped from 7.69 last month to 4.88 this month. He experiences fatigue, which is remedied by dexamethasone on the days he has something he wants to do. Otherwise, he sleeps. No other side effects worth mentioning at this time. I asked for

Need advice.
Need advice. I had prostectomy in February of 2020, then radiation therapy a year later as PSA rose. Now PSA is 1.23 and the oncologist now is recommending beginning Lupron injections. Would welcome any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks.

Update on my father
I just wanted to post a quick update on my father. He has metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. He’s been on ADT - Eligard shots every 3 months and prednisone + zytiga everyday. It’s challenging as I work with him and see all the ins and outs of his behaviour while on those meds. He remains

ADT Holiday Coming To An End
After nearly 2 years of undetectable while on ADT holiday my 10/2 PSA result was 0.1. Today, 10/23 my PSA was .19. Seems like a rapid doubling time. Sent result to my MO. Waiting for a response.

Update
just an update from my last post. Martins prostate cancer which has now spread to his liver showed 4 small mets on the latest scan. 1 was large enough to do a biopsy. It is now showing small cell prostate cancer which we understand is quite aggressive. We are still waiting to see if the biopsy shows

Finding Support Groups
I am 84 and diagnosed with PCa in 2014. I had a multi-specialty work up Sibley Hospital in Washington DC (Johns Hopkins staffed clinic). No mets found. I was given 1 option, External beam; 70 Gray treatment went smoothly with no SE. I was given one injection of Lupron prior to the radiation. PSA

Update
Just got my blood test results: Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and PSA still undetectable. Tomorrow I’ll receive my next 3-month Lupron shot, which will finalize my 24-month ADT after prostate bed and whole pelvic radiation. In the meantime I also had lymphoma and received four R-CHOP chemo cycles, two cycles

Just got this report from PSMA scan. Increased size of a few mildly tracer avid aorto-caval lymphnodes. The largest of these nodes measures 0.5 cm in short axis (image 204), previously measured 0.2 cm. Meet with MO tomorrow. I am 10 years in. Prostatectomy, bed radiation, and two years ago, whole
