New bone met
I have a consult with radiation oncologist on Wednesday and wanted to ask if any of you have had very targeted radiation therapy to one small new spot on bone when your systemic treatment (Ibrance and Letrozole) is still working on other mets. I saw there is SBRT and IMRT. Are these appropriate options

Imaging Guidelines - Salvage IMRT Planning
I'm planning to start my post-op salvage treatment after my PSA breached 0.1 few weeks ago. I'm OK with the extent of the treatment proposed, which is 5 weeks of IMRT (VMAT) to the prostatic fossa and pelvic LNs. However, I'm not confident with the accuracy of radiation delivery to the target area. Knowing

Update post follow up PSMA PET/CT
Just updated my profile to include recent events. In brief, in March 2023 I had a PSMA PET/CT which Dr. Kwon at Mayo clinic somehow got my insurance to pay for even though my PSA was undetectable. It defined a abdominal retro-aortic mass that was significantly avid. Underwent 4 weeks of standard

3 Months post ADT (Orgovyx) Still having hot flashes and fatigue-doing blood test in two weeks..for hopefully nadir..
Stopped taking Orgovyx May 30th .... August 30th will be my 90 day blood test I presume to see if my Testosterone is BACK TO NORMAL (I hope) and my PSA is less than .o2 ?? I understand that the Testosterone back to NORMAL is more possible in the short term (90 days) than longer term use of adt? Is

Anyone have a dramatic drop in WBC bordering on neutropenia from pelvic radiation (not chemo)?
Husband is 3/4 of the way through an escalated course of IMRT Prostate bed only radiation (plan was for 33 days but they gave larger doses per day and are trying to do it in 20 days). Today (Saturday) we ended up going to the ER because he was having some strange symptoms. Labs showed his WBC counts

Brain metastasis
New (Portuguese) anecdotal case study below. [1] When I began reading PCa studies on PubMed, I saw a lot of cell studies that used LNCaP (from a lymph PCa cell), PC3 (from a bone PCa cell) &/or DU145 (supposedly a brain met cell, but now described as "derived from a central nervous system metastasis

ED No More (the prequel)
I've had so many comments since my post "ED no more" that I felt I should offer more. I'm a neophyte on this site. As a matter of fact I avoid this site. I have always adopted an "ignorance is bliss" attitude towards life and my PC. My wife, on the other hand, is a nervous but adventurous individual

Bp meds and libido in women (perimenopausal)
I’m on 12.5mg Losartan for raised Blood pressure. I’m 42 and perimenopausal. I’ve been on testosterone for my libido for about 7 weeks with little effect. I can pinpoint my libido falling off a cliff with starting Losartan. Is this a thing? Any other women who have found Bp meds affected their libido

My case is unusual in as much as I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer four years ago. A bone scan identified many areas where I had bone mets, even one between my shoulder blades on my spine that looked like structural surgery was inevitable. My PSA topped 1000 and I had zero treatments of any

Candesartan for high BP
Has anyone taken Candesartan for high BP? I've recently taken Doxazosin, and Peridropil, both of which made RL much worse. My GP has prescribed this to start today. I'm hoping for better luck with this.

But last week I experienced some post menopausal vaginal bleeding, which has me scared to death! I am supposed to leave for a trip with my daughter to Italy today and I am so preoccupied I don’t

Air fryer?
I've been eating LCHF for 4 years, and have experienced many health benefits from it. But while eating high fat, I have never turned to deep fried foods. That's mostly because I am not prepared to deep fry in my home, and outside the oil is mostly seed oils, that is highly recycled. Thus I have been

Felodipine
I’m 70 I had a couple of spikes in blood pressure this year, both times when in a lot of pain - a root filling needed and a case of shingles and was advised to see GP. I would say my average blood pressure has been between 130 and 140/90 so outside the normal range I started on felodipine six weeks

My baby girl.
Good morning all. I've been writing my updates as anonymous as possible but trying to give relevant information and updates to the condition. In reality I've been writing on my wife's behalf. She was diagnosed in February this year and was taking tremendous strides in getting better. She looked fantastic

Blood pressure medication
I've been on Ramipril and Bendroflumethiazide for years to manage hypertension, associated with T2 diabetes, and subsequently AF came into play, with betablockers and Rivaroxaban. But my blood pressure still kept creeping up, so the GP threw Doxazosin into the mix. This got the BP down to a better level
