At the last appointment 2 weeks after the surgery, surgeon tells me we can discuss going back on

High PSA after surgery
Well, obviously I can't have a sex life with a Testosterone level of 38 and can't go back on the
Androgel
with a PSA of .31 and i'm still incontinent (which I will admit is not as bad as it was).

apalutamide vs. abiraterone
My husband has been recommended ADT + abiraterone + prednisone for two years. My friend who is an oncologist suggested apalutamide instead as it doesn't need to be supplements with prednisone and has less side effects. Wanted your opinion.

Dad 2nd BCR. Advice needed...
After a very late salvage radiation + 1 year Lupron. He has been off ADT for 1 year when PSA began to rise again. From 0.01 to 0.03 in less than 2 months then 0.05 after another 3 months. Is this indicative of an aggressive progression and metastasis? The oncologist said that the doubling time is not

is this what CR looks like?
Starting Nov 20 last year, I began a relugolix on-cycle. Here’s the PSA readings from that point: Nov 20 : 3.10 Jan 8: 0.31 Feb 27: 0.13 Apr 15: 0.08 So up to this point, the PSA is dropping nicely, as it always has with on-cycles; and as I would expect, since I’ve been a strong responder

Worried about pulmonary fibrosis if radiating the metastasis in my shoulder blade
When I saw my radio-oncologist a few days ago and asked what is the risk for my lungs if we use radiation against the metastasis in my right shoulder blade.

Why can't the drs start with PARP inhibitors and chemo which is the standard of care as a second line treatment? Is it because

So the odds we all read about... are they true?
When my husband (age 52) was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer two and a half years ago, he was told the outlook was "grim." Everything we read told us once it moves to the bone (his has) then you're looking at months, not years, of life left. He had TEMPUS done, which was basically the oncologist
