Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
Apparently Medicare will pay for Provenge provided we are castrate resistant and metastatic. But are there other requirements like certain PSA parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

ART mpMRI Accuracy Detecting Serious PCa Revised Criteria for Biopsy

GS8 in one core Brachy boost and no HT
Six years ago I was diagnosed with PC. Only one core of 13 showed GS8 ie. 4mm in a 10mm core. I wasn't willing to undergo HT and fortunately that was optional at BCCA with my PSA of 5.2 and only one core with cancer. I had all the side effects like fatigue, frequent urinating and the worst being the

Feeling very hopeless at this point.
My husband was diagnosed in 2011 at age 52, gleason 8, 11 of 12 cores positive. We went for many many 2nd opinions, surgery or radiation? finally chose radiation as all doctors said it had spread already and would need radiation anyway after surgery. Treated with Snuffy Myers in Virginia until his

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.

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

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
