My scans showed spread but......
My scans showed no spread but Sept 1 my right nipple became very sensitive and a 2" diameter hardness formed around it. I applied Clio twice a day and today the hardened area is the size of a dime. The Clio I use is 5-chloro-7-iodoquinolin-8-ol). U of Maryland is the best source of cancer research that

Gleason 6, 1 Yr AS, now Gleason 3+4
Hi, I'm 65, fit, active. , 2 yrs ago noticed PSA doubled to 2.4, last yr 3.5 so had MRI and urine exosome test, "liquid biopsy". Range is 1-100, less than 15 and you are ok, o/w suggest a biopsy. Mine was 48. Oh, the 3 markers in this test are for more aggressive disease. BTW MRI only showed diffuse

Rising PSA
Hi, have updated my profile to reflect recent changes. A gradual increase in PSA (1.2) with the prospect of changes to treatment if it continues at the current rate and gets near to 4. The oncologist is suggesting probably chemo but I would like to know more about other options before that discussion

clioquinol + zinc
PSA 44 started clioquinol +zinc Aug 11. Aug 30 PSA 48 with severe UTI. U of Maryland says Clio + zinc kills cancer cells. They give two cases of prostate cancer terminated. I'm trying it.

PSA up to 150 on Olaprib, any insight on what’s next?
Hi all, my dads history is mostly in my profile but in short he started on Zytiga a year ago. Zytiga worked well but had major side effects and lead to a switch to Erleada. Erleada failed at the time shown in the picture with the orange circle and he switched to Olaprib by the time he got the PSA results

My MO discussed a clinical trial for me today if I qualify with the required genetic markers. My most recent PSMA scan showed further progression of metastasis in bone and lymph nodes and my PSA has increased fairly rapidly. Currently taking both Orgovyx & Nubeqa. I'm hoping some of the smart and

Diagnostic Imaging Not Yet Enough for Biopsy-Free Radical Prostatectomy - MedPage Today, November 27, 2023
Biopsy-free PCa diagnostics would be welcomed by anyone who has had one or more needle biopsies. This article in MedPage Today summarizes the current status for the several methodologies being studied as alternatives. Good info for those currently on AS or just watching a rising PSA. From the lead-in

Xtandi and insomnia
Anybody else have severe insomnia from enzalutamide? I'm only getting ~3 hours sleep since starting. Pretty deep fatigue too. Any advice on ways to manage this?

PSA 6.9 six years after prostatectomy but PET/CT negative?
Weird situation here. Had a prostatectomy at Hopkins in early 2018. Organ-confined but Gleason on pathology was 4+5. For a little over two years PSA remained undetectable...and then, well, I kind of slacked off the test. Stupid and reckless on my part. After a roughly 3-year interval I recently

pelvic floor
Hi everyone, I hope that you are doing okay. I was wondering if anyone is also suffering with pelvic floor dysfunction as well as evil endo? I have stage 3/4 my consultant wanted me to try prostap prior to hysterectomy (I am petrified) and have not started it yet. I guess I’m wondering if anyone

What's next for crumbling bones when Zytiga was not tolerable?
My dad just stopped his Zytiga due to nausea, and other intolerable side effects. He just got his first two shots that they give for osteoporosis...due to a spontaneous fracture in his pelvis. He's using a walker but has gotten relatively stronger from the day it happened a month ago...from doing exercises

Uric Acid [UA] & PCa Mortality
I once had a gouty foot. It was self-induced - I was having a brief but intense craving for high-purine foods, particularly anchovies. (Perhaps PCa was driving the craving - lol.) At some point I looked at the PCa / Uric Acid [UA] literature (more than I expected), but it was mixed & failed to impress

Marching on to 5th transfer!
As I post and reply quite a lot on here I just thought I’d share where I’m at. After 4th failed transfer - 3 BFN and 1 chemical, I now have a date for transfer 5. Not sure exactly what protocol I’m on cause I’m rubbish at asking questions and just eagerly do whatever the clinic says 😂🙈 Just curious

Decision Xtandi or radiation
Many posts proceed this one and I am now at a crossroad. Scans since 7/21 showed uptake in either/or illiac, acetabulum and the ischium. After 2/23 scan I had 35 gys radiation to acetabulum. PSA dropped then started rising, 9/23 scan showed SUV uptake 28.4 at ischium. PSA 4.2 Local radiologist is

Can a colonoscopy after RP with BCR increase PSADT and speed up PC growth?
6 years out from RP - current PSA = 0.39, PSADT = 16 months....only therapy has been RP...nothing shown on PSMA PET/CT done at 0.35.

SIB/Flame Protocol
The RO recommends Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) as part of my treatment. PSA was 19.76 (4/2023), then 21.78 (5/2023 to confirm initial PSA). He is concerned that the PSA does not match the Gleason score (4+3, grade 3) as PSA has surpassed 20. Multiplanar MRI and PSMA PET indicated no metastasis

Your thoughts on next course of action
First, I'd like to thank the many good folks that contribute this forum. Your inputs have been a life send to me over the past several years, especially Tall Allen who recommended UW Medicine where my MO and RO are located. They have been fantastic to work with. The short story - Diagnosed in 2018.
