Hello all~ I am writing as spokesperson and chief researcher for my husband, Steve. He is 75 and was dx'ed w/prostate cancer on 11/27 by his urologist after some months following a bad UTI and subsequent catheterization to "rest his bladder" by initial NP (whom we saw upon referral but subsequently

Avodart added to my treatment regimen. I am Leary of it.
My MO prescribed bicalutamide and avodart after my 20 rounds of SBRT. My PSA went up to 21 after the SBRT. The bicalutamide I understand. I am leary of the avodart. I am concerned that it will mask PSA rise from cancer. Any thoughts on this?

Back in permanent AF and warfarin dose decrease
Hi All, I used to have paroxysmal AF which was ablated by Prof Schilling back in 2010. I had been in NSR. However I was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in the summer. I had huge delays and postponements before I had a biopsy. I eventually got the results 5 weeks later (rather than the two weeks promised

early concerns/ paranoia
Feeling a bit guilty taking up space here before I have any real diagnosis. I’m 72 years old and my annual physical in November saw my PSA numbers double from 3.2 to 6.4 and then retested a month later they were 7. Sounds scary to me. My urologist ordered an in-home EXODX urine test 14 days ago which

Very promising trial!
Con't know if it's good for metastatic but still...CRPC is good enough Molecule name: AZD5069 “This is tremendously exciting and it suggests we have an entirely new way to treat prostate cancer on the horizon,” said Johann de Bono, a professor of experimental cancer medicine at the Institute of Cancer

Radiation and diarrhea/ GI issues/ please help
looking for other experiences with radiation. My dad just went through -4.5 weeks of radiation. I believe it was standard radiation EBRT or IMRT not sure which. It was fine at first, no side effects. By week 4 the side effects started - diarrhea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, gas. He is so uncomfortable

Endometriosis?
Hi everyone My journey is quite a lengthy one so I’ll attempt to shorten it by containing the most important info… when I was a teenager I had awfully painful, extremely heavy periods at times they would bring me to tears, this improved after having children but was still far from “normal” whatever

MRI scanning could lead to major cut in prostate cancer deaths, finds UK study
Snippits: “The UK prostate cancer mortality rate is twice as high as in countries like the US or Spain because our levels of testing are much lower than other countries". “The well-known limitations of the old PSA-based screening studies of overdiagnosis and linked overtreatment are increasingly

so discouraged after the fibromyalgia workshop that I just participated in.
I didn't advocate for myself enough and should have gotten more help for my fibromyalgia. I still can't tell the difference between it and my PSA. I may have been exercising too much and thus keeping the pain cycle going. So discouraged. I probably needed some help four years ago to systematically

Triplet Therapy
Hi all...had another meeting with Urologist after he presented my case to the Tumor Board. (50yrs old male, gleason 9, 2 mets) The outcome from that is they think I am great candidate for triplet therapy. I recall in my initial post about being diagnosed that triplet therapy was mentioned alot.

PSA testing comparison question
I know that PSA results can vary, particularly if processed by different labs. Knowing this, I do have a question. Quick recap, I completed 20 rounds of radiation at UCLA with Kishan back in April of this year. At the same time, I began 6 months of ADT. Over the past few months, while getting my

Confused by Decipher Test
Hi all, new here. I signed up to finish reading an article and then saw these posts in an email to me. What a great resource for men with prostate cancer. My PSA went up to 4.4 and then had an MRI which showed a two suspicious lesions (PI-RADS 4 and a PI-RAD 3). Had a biopsy 3 weeks ago and it showed

Bloating tips
Does anyone have any tips for bloating? Happens with any meal- doesn't matter what I eat or drink? I'm 31, have 2 fibroids, had 2 prostap injections which showed the fibroids slightly shrunk but now have suspected PCOS. I have a constant bloated stomach - I've seen loads online about rheal superfoods

Radium223 has not been a success, is Enzalutamide a good next option?
Stage 4 PCA for last 3 years. Had 6 cycles of Chemo and then Abiraterone for 18+ months (PSA dropped to 0.2 then more recently rose to 58 in June '23 ). Abiraterone eventually stopped working and I was able to join Radium 223 trial. Completed 5 of 6 cycles of Radium 223, then elected to stop since

Biopsy results in 2 weeks - questions?
I've finally got an appointment to get the results of my prostate biopsy on Monday in 2 weeks time. It's taken quite a while. My PSA was 12 and an MRI scan showed a dodgy area on the front of the prostate. My PI-RADS score was 5. I was then booked for a biopsy which got deferred 3 times. I was told I

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the
