Adt and heart arrythmia
Has anyone experienced heart arrythmia whilst taking zoladex. This is my husbands second time taking adt in 5 years since a ct scan shows 2 pelvic lymph nodes. we cannot recall this side effect first time around, although it is classed as a side effect. He is having a Holter monitor on for 24hrs next

Hey lucky me - I now have 2 cancers
I wrote about this 2 months ago and things have changed so I'm re-writing my post: It's important to note I skipped my May Lupron injection.
8/30 Mayo C11 Choline Pet scan:
1. New choline avid marrow occupying lesion in the mid right humerus likely represents metastaticdisease. Additional focus

They're BAAAACK - medicare election time for 2023 - so confusing
Would like some thoughts on my next year change option for Medicare or Medicare Advantage looking forward to keeping Prostate Cancer at bay. I finished my HDR Brachy and 25 Sessions of EBRT/IGRT for a Stage 3 (no mets) back in the Spring and early summer. I have been on an Aetna Advantage program.

I think this topic is appropriate for this group so I will introduce it today since I can't find a prior discussion on the site. Sexuality is very important to me, an 18 year prostate cancer survivor at age 68. It is also important to my partner. My research indicates high satisfaction for each partner

Get a bone density test if you have PC and are taking Abiraterone etc
ADT leads to accelerated bone loss. So does being 70 years plus of age. A bone density test is painless and quick and can see signs well before osterporesis fractures etc. I'm on 5 months of ADT (Firmagon first, RT with Lupron, then after RT added Abiraterone plus Prednisone.) GLTA

UPDATE AFTER IMRT
Haven't posted in a while, but here's a quick update (My Bio has the full details from diagnosis to present.). After recovering from RALP in mid February I had my PSA checked in late May. PSA was 8.11 which led to my Urology Oncologist (UO) starting me on Casodex & Eligard, and ordering a GA-68 PSMA-PET

Lookin for next phase of my PC fight
Just a short background. Surgery in 2009, IMRT completed in 08/2021 when PSA was at 0.12. I had a negative PSMA pet scan when my PSA was 0.3. My latest PSA result on 11/4/20222 was 0.42 up from 0.3 6 months ago. Because of my age, my Oncologist wants to wait as long as possible before starting me

Back to ADT
My PSA continues to climb - after radiation and two years of lupron/zytiga ending in Jan 21- my PSA is going back up - it was 0.1 in Sept 21 then to 0.2 in March 22, to 0.4 in Sept 22 and now 0.6 in October. Once i hit 0.4 - went to Mayo to get established with them - because it became evident that

What now?
T-11 vertebral compression fracture ( osteoporotic/insufficiency fracture ) should I be concerned? Is this the result of 3-1/2 years of ADT + Zytiga??

Sildenafil for ADT side effect?
I have had total ED since my first 3 month Eligard injection on August 11. I had my second injection today, Nov. 3. My Medical Oncologist is a DO and thinks I may be on ADT for a total of 18 months. I may start 28 sessions of EBRT soon. I'm worried about penile atrophy. Would it be a good idea to ask

New PSA reading update
Got the results of the latest bloodwork today - my prognosis 0.1 measured 0.1 - put a smile on my face!!! So things are proceeding in a steady enough decline that I can accurately predict the value 3 months ahead. (see the curve on my profile) Take aways are: no noticable different on the decline

Help with interpreting test results
Hello! I'm new here and have already learned so much - I was wondering if anyone could help with fathoming what is going on? I'm a 34 year old woman. I initially went to the GP in August with an irregular heartbeat and a very sudden onset of general anxiety/physical feelings of doom, as well as trouble

Low PSA, high metastasis, ready for chemo+
I was first diagnosed in 2019 with Stage 3 PCa — although I had regular DREs and my PSA always hovered between 2.5 and 3.4. Now, after treatment, and PSA rising from undetectable to .4 and .5, my PSMA Pet scan shows that the cancer has metastasized pretty extensively. I’m under the care of Dr. Eugene

Do lower glucose levels slow the prostate cancer growth? 70-85 level better than 90-100 level? Continuous Glucose Monitor usage?
Anyone w/ avg fasting blood glucose in the 85-100 range, use a continuous glucose monitor to learn how to lower their levels to 70-85? Do men with average fasting blood glucose levels below 80 live longer than guys above 90? These are not diabetes or pre-diabetic figures but is it possible or likely

Salvage radiation is in my future. What kind / technique is available for Salvage radiation?
hi, I have a RO who says I am being observed for possible salvage radiation. I had a RP about two years ago with a Gleason 9 and stage T3a. My post RARP PSA was not detectable. However, Recently my PSA is creeping up. I think at PSA of 0.1, the Salvage RT process will begin. Are there several

If I Could Turn Back Time (Think Cher's dynamic voice...)
I found this post by RMontana on the Active Surveillance forum and think it deserves more attention and discussion. Wish that every new member here would read it. It is never too late to think and operate in this mode. A lot of this is applicable to Those of us with Advanced PCa. Scout Do-Over

Duration of ADT
I need to make a decision about the duration of ADT. I had a prostatectomy in 2017. The pathology was great - everything suggested the disease was confined to the prostate. My PSA never went to zero. It has increased very slowly since then. I refused to have radiation until we has something to shoot
