PSMA scan result
I have been diagnosed with mCSPC in May 2023 and been on Lupron for 3 months and Zytiga/ Pre since last 2 months. My PSA was initially 21.5 and as of last week is down to 0.3. I had my PSMA scan done again today and was hoping that some lesions in regional and distant Lymph nodes would be gone but

My Pluvicto Journey is Over
I finished treatment #5 on August 10th with a PSA of over 400. But worse than that was what it did to my hemoglobin and Platelet counts. Last week my hemoglobin was down to 6.2 and after 2 units of blood it only rose to 7.8. Platelet counts drooped to 18k. I had a transfusion for both the platelets

PSA for PCa Awareness month
There's an App called Nextdoor and they're pretty much in all the cities, even this lil town. I posted on it for men to get screened as a Public Service Announcement for PCa Awareness Month. Many don't know that it's in September, but a whole lot more know that October is Breast Ca Awareness month.

Should I end active surveillance and treat?

The biopsy confirmed cancer in 6 out of 12 cores. All were G6 (3+3) with a t1c grade. Active surveillance was recommended by everyone which I totally

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Have contra-indications from multi-parametric MRI (4/2023) and latest serum PSA (4.4 ng/ml, 9% free PSA). SO recommends retest and another MRI in 6 months. Verifying that prev MRI did not include spectroscopy. Im thinking MRI w spectroscopy is the next step if it wasn't part of previous MRI.

Q & A with my husband's MO
I'm posting this in case someone finds it helpful. The scans show visceral as well as bone mets. That plus a steep rise in his PSA and the start of chemo really soon have us in a sober state of mind. Continuing to lean on Jesus for strength. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wXoa3LDjRUyZ4dE9wLJQAg32jRcEISF4v3KeSOT83gg

Gleason score 8 and lots of questions...
Hi all! First time posting here but I have been lurking the last month or so and thanks so much to all of you who take the time to contribute. It has helped me ramp up the learning curve so quickly and the comradery and support here are powerful. My story: 63 year old reasonably healthy male. PSA

Clean PET/CT Scan - Why no treatment change?
I was diagnosed Stage 4 in 2019 and have been getting Lupron shots and taking Erleada ever since. My PSA went down to undetectable within about six months and has stayed there. I have very mild side effects (other than the loss of libido). I had bone scans in 2019 and 2020. The 2020 scan showed significant

Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
I was recently blindsided by my "under control" prostate cancer, turning into High Grade Neuroendocrine Prostate cancer (NEPC). After 13 years of various therapies, the last few years included Lupron/Eligard, Zytiga, Xtandi. This kept the PSA low (around .2) and kept my MO happy. In 2021, I asked my

Confused
UPDATE: April 5, 2024 Yesterday was very disappointing as my husbands PSA increased again by 183 points, last month his PSA was 1546 and now it is 1730. All his other CBC results were good. His Alkaline Phosphatase increased 6 points, last month 127 and now 133 but still in range of 40-150. Questioned

Information overload and now decision time!
Okay, so I am at that stage of making a decision. Mind you I am about to embark on a 10 week overseas 45th anniversary trip. Dr says that should be fine. So whatever decision i come up with now could change by late November. So then a month ago, I had 42 biopsy samples taken and 8 of them were found
