High risk vs. aggressive cancer
I understand the definition of high-risk prostate cancer (Gleason, PSA and/or spread), but that doesn't necessarily seem to be the same thing as aggressive cancer. How can aggressiveness be determined for high risk, localized cancer? Thanks for any insight and information.

brachytherapy
my hubbie has just had brachytherapy for stage 3 prostate and has been in great pain since Thursday. He’s been told it’s normal and to suck it up but he’s not sleeping and is struggling to wee without great pain (tears) . Any advice as to what has worked for you to manage post op brachytherapy please

Anyone? 😁
LOL I’m popping on here, again, for your honest opinion and advice. I have been OFF all forms of treatment since the beginning of January (when I was told there was evidence that Ibrance and Anastrazole were failing). A brief stint with Xeloda (for 6 days...6 days of pure torture)…and to tell you

Now been advised cancer has spread to both lungs 😔
Spoke to my consultant yesterday, it seems my nurse specialist had not given me the correct information. Cancer signs are now on both lungs, in my peritoneal area, and under my spleen (not the spleen itself). I am getting some pain in my lung area and it's really worrying me 😔 Surgery is still

Zometa
Insurance denied my Xgeva shot . Was told I had to do Zometa. Looking at the potential side effects ( stomach) Im not inclined. Been dealing with ibs and gerd for years and not really wanting to go with anything that will increase that situation. I've read that Zometa does nothing to prevent SRE events

Barrigel is now preferred over "SpaceOAR" gel?
Consulted by video with the doctor who is supposed to install my SpaceOAR in preparation for my IMRT. His first words were "we don't use SpaceOAR gel anymore. We use Barrigel." He explains it has fewer side effects but the same radiation absorption characteristics. Here is what "UroToday" says:

Good Bye Xeloda
Turns out all my anxiety over taking Xeloda was warranted (for me). I wanted to THANK all of you beautiful people who helped me through my decision. I appreciate ALL of you so much!! I ended up starting it last Wednesday and my doctor lowered my dose to start. She put me on 1500mg twice a day. I

AUS revision surgery?
I'm seeking advice on having a second AUS surgery. My background: I had a prostatectomy in 2016 and radiation a year later because the cancerous tumor had penetrated the sack. I have since had undetected PSA but have suffered with severe stress incontinence. I had AUS surgery in 2018 but it failed because

Nano Knife Surgery
I recently underwent a brand new surgical procedure called nano knife. Dr. Mayank Patel in Encino California, a da Vinci robotic and TULSA pro expert surgeon recommended this procedure after a panel of doctors examined my MRI and CT scans. The procedure was successful and five months post surgery

many of you have heard from me before at this point. My dad (68, diagnosed almost 2 years ago) had his last appointment with his MO two weeks ago or so.
