Dad,83 - is biopsy necessary ?
My dad , 83 had an elevated psa at 18. Dr ordered MRI which showed a pirads 5 with 2-3 bone metastases in the pelvic region and femur. Went to an oncologist who said to do a PSMA and then to start him on Lupron and bicalutamide. And maybe radiation for the bone met pain. He said he did not really

Is it worth it?
I'm a 64 year old gay man married for 30+ years. I went to get my testosterone checked and it was slightly low but the doctor said before he prescribed T he wanted to do a PSA test. My PSA was 8, so he told me no sex or biking for 10 days and we retested and it was down to 5 which he said was still

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
I am participating in an NIH study combining Docetaxel with an immunotherapy. I had my first treatment of only Docetaxel this Tuesday. I lasted 2 minutes and 7cc before I had a severe reaction - severe flushing (glowing red from head to toe), difficulty breathing, sweating, uncontrollable shivering.

Casodex(tablet) Vs lupron(injection)
Hi allCasodex (bicalutamide) 57% for driving down PSA Lupron 87% BUT........ maybe for an individual would it be worth trying to see if casodex tablets worked better for driving down PSA instead of the lupron injection????

Lupron/zolodex for endometriosis
hello, I went to see my gynaecologist yesterday who suggested having Lupron/zolodex injection once every 3 months to help with the pain until I have my laparoscopy . He said it puts your ovary’s to sleep but then once you stop the injections they go back to normal which worried me what it would do

Making a Case for Intermittent ADT in Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
FPC'ers, Many times, we hear people claim that you should only stop ADT if you can't tolerate it any longer, and that it will not slow castrate resistance; that it increases risk for stroke, and heart attack; that it will likely take years for your testosterone to recover; that it increases mortality

How to say it
I just cancelled my upcoming appointment for next week. I am also due for Lupron infusion. How do I tell my well meaning MO that I will not be taking anymore infusions. I have been on it for almost two years this time. Why am I doing it? Because I feel miserable, the hot flashes, the sweat especially

asking for a friend (really) oncologist referral Chicago or Mayo Rochester
I am an open book for people newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and often hear from friends of friends. Looking back on my journey, I feel that I too quickly went the surgery route after consulting with a very good urologist/surgeon/oncologist and I erred not consulting with a Medical Oncologist first

Celebrex and Curcumin and Magnesium.
I recently received a question from a fellow warrior based on a comment I had made on an older post that he had started. The question was what I thought about Naproxen compered to Celebrex and I told him I had very limited experience with Naproxen. I then clicked on older posts about nsaids and prostate
