Help deciding on treatment
Discovered this forum a month ago and have found it to be a wealth of information, with very educated/informed members. Hoping that you can spread some of your wisdom and help my finalize my decision with treatment. I've posted more details in my profile as well as write ups from MSKCC on my Biopsy

A technical question on Radiation
A technical question: The radiation oncologist tells me that I received 19.5 Gy via Cyberknife over 3 days, a high biologic dose, and 42Gy via conventional (IMRT) radiation over 21 days. He says these are not linearly additive ( ie., not just for a total of 61.5Gy) but that the effective biologic

Spot Radiation before Pluvicto?
Haven’t posted for a while about Mr. Spouse21 until I had some data as his PSA began to tick up a few months ago. Last week a PET FDG confirmed recent bone and CT scans. Summary of main results:
Multiple tracer avid osseous metastases. Most prominent involving right margin of T12.

Self Anthem - Music therapy
So, I was remembering when I had a major breakdown when my life was falling apart everywhere I turned - after I realized that the life/relationship that I had invested so much of everything into was a big fat lie ... And I started to pick myself up and I heard this song and kept playing it over and over

Well the acupunture doesn't seem to be helping at this stage, have stopped it and trying reflexology and Low level laser therapy. The GP put me on 20mg Norspan patch from 15....it didn't seem to change the effect on my legs at the higher dose but it made me quite nauseated and sweaty and tired on higher

Gleason 9 prostate cancer
Hello - my husband has aggressive gleason 9 prostate cancer. He had a prostatectomy in August 2015 but his psa remained high, suggesting it had already left the prostate. He then had IMRT to his pelvic area and was started on Zoladex adt (3monthly injections). He became castrate resistant so abiraterone

HRT related
Hello 🌷 Please may I ask how much HRT are ladies on? Last night I accidentally left my old Evorel patch on (1 put a new one on every 3.5 days instead of the 3 day /4 day combo) and put on the new one. I realised it this morning and took the old one off. I guess it was still giving me oestrogen because

Is this low B12 / folate?
Hi all! Curious if anyone can advise please- I am fatigued (really struggle at work), brain fog, aches and pains - have been taking HRT for few months but not cured it! Also stable levothyroxine for many years and have Psoriasis although mild. Wondering if I should ask GP for further investigation

Brachytherapy boost HDR vs LDR +/- ADT
A bit of my background: 50 years old, Gleason score of 4+3, a PSA of 11, decipher is low, and possible extracapsular extension. 1) I know what LDR and HDR do, but what are the differences in terms of their long-term side effects? 2) Should I include ADT for a better outcome and what percentage improvement

Time to PSA Nadir is related to progression-free-survival
This graph from Teoh (2014) plots the relationship between Time to PSA Nadir (months) versus Time to Progression (months) (i.e., Progression Free Survival). Cohort: ADT monotherapy (No RP or RT), all metastatic patients, median 74 y.o., GS = 8-10, N=419. A cubic spline curve fit matched the data points
