PSA 0.5, 6 yrs after prostatectomy
Hi all, My father's PSA has risen to 0.5 today. He had the prostate removal 6.5 yrs back in 2017. His gleason score was 8, PSA around 20 at the time of surgery. However post surgery, it was indicated that seminal vesicles were clean and no occurence in lymph nodes so it was indeed a localized tumor

declining psa
I’m 8 years post RP and my PSA has gradually been going up over the past 6 years. When it hit 0.1 I saw a radiation oncologist to discuss options. He said I had a biochemical recurrence but is happy to monitor things and would only consider recommending salvage radiation when I get closer to 0.2. However

ADT + darolutamide + docetaxel (ARASENS trial) has anyone tried it?
Hi people! My first update since the diagnosis. After less than one month of regrouping and ADT only (decapeptyl - triptotrelin, which got my PSA from 70 to 15), my MO decided to do the ARASENS trial triplet (with my full approval, I was going to propose him this protocol). Has anyone tried it?

PSA Tests
Every 6 months, I get a standard PSA test (following surgery and radiation four years ago) and it is "undetectable". Under what conditions is an ultrasensitive PSA test useful?

from undetectable to 0.02
I have been undetectable for 3.25 years and today it came back at 0.02. My bio is up to date. We ran the test at the exact same lab as always and in 2 days I am flying back to my Sarasota home from Milwaukee and was wondering which lab is recommended for 2 digit accuracy? I know Labcorp only does 1

Aspirin trials
I have recently finished hormone therapy, last 3 monthly injection April 2023. Good result so far with PSA at <0.01. Met with my Oncologist today and he said there were trials using aspirin as a potential drug to reduce potential recurrence. Has anyone come across this and, even though the results

Abiraterone SE when added to Lupron?
I am a PSA =2, low volume, oligometastic HSPC. I got my first Lupron shot 4 weeks ago. I started to get a couple hot flashes per day in the last week from the Lupron and of course I expect fatigue to kick in over the next six weeks. What additional side effects might I expect by adding the abiraterone

Finished 8 Rounds of Docetaxel
Hi Fellow Warriors, Four weeks ago I finished up 8 rounds of Docetaxel. This year has been a medical shit show: 2 UTIs, pneumonia, Covid, sepsis, sinus infection which became chronic sinusitis, numerous falls with the last fall resulting in a dislocated hip. The good news! Before starting Docetaxel

Tumor Mutation Burden
Last genetic test has shwon TMB 10.86 and the orevious one (in March, 2023) showed the value of 8.68. Will increased TMB require the addition of PARP inhibitors to my current therapy consisting of Loupron and Abiraterone? Anyone has similar experience? My history can be seen under bio. Just to add that

Tips on testing
Hi, I have a GP appointment next Monday to request that I be tested for arthritis. Can I please get an outline of the most comprehensive tests that I can hope to get from the GP? Also, thinking ahead to the blood draw, is there a particular protocol that I should follow? Many thanks 🙏

ART NIH Predicting the Outcome of Salvage Radiation Therapy for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
Summary: Patients in this audience have had both radical prostatectomies (RP) and salvage radiation treatment (sRT) and want to know their chances of having recurrent prostate cancer. This study developed a predictive model called a nomogram that predicts the 6-year progression-free probability (PFP

Prednisolone and osteoarthritis
As I posted recently, after more than a year of taking 2.5 mg of pred daily, at long last I had an appointment with a rheumatologist who advised me to reduce to 2 mg and then by 0.5 mg reductions at intervals to get down to zero pretty quickly. I'd experienced before that when I reduced my pred dose
