Hypogonadism After Prostatectomy
At the last appointment 2 weeks after the surgery, surgeon tells me we can discuss going back on
Androgel
in a year. Prior to the surgery, I had told him I expected to go back on
Androgel

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).

I stumbled on this forum about 15 to 18 months ago. Just to show you how little I knew and how clueless I was I had no idea there was run of the mill prostrate cancer or an advanced form. I just knew I had prostrate cancer and needed to make a decision - surgery or radiation. I stumbled through this

Anyone find cold plunge or sauna helpful?
I'm six weeks in on ADT. Working to stay ahead of fatigue with resistance training and weighted vest walking as I gear up for radiation and chemo in the next few months. Anyone done any cold plunge or sauna to help battle side effects or get better sleep? What was your experience?

False positives

But the NaF PET/CT: "On the right, rib 10 has abnormal PET uptake (SUVmax 27.3). The same rib uptake can be seen in previous bone scintigraphy and as a minimal

intraductal carcinoma

I know this forum is primarily for those with advanced PCA, yet I regularly see posts by those who've only recently discovered the disease and are not in such adavanced stages, being treated only with 1st-generation ADT.

Anyone felt as if drunk while on Relugovix?
After 13 months of ADT vacation, I've gone back on ADT last week. This time I am on Relugovix (Orgovyx) instead of Lupron. Since I exercise pretty much everyday, even upping my training a little more on the cardio side of late, I think I am doing not too bad against the fatigue from the ADT. Then

Provenge immunotherapy
After 5.5 years on Lupron (no Zytiga, Xtandi, Daro, etc.), my PSA hit its highest points ever (1.92), although I'm still not 2 points above my lowest reading of 0.5 (only one of those). I'm metastatic and was at diagnosis, so still have prostate. I've been researching Provenge a bit, and understand that

The Existence of the Oligometastatic State in Prostate Cancer (and other cancers)
Members of the FPC Forum: I submit to you that either I am a Prophet/Visionary, or I am a Fool, but I state clearly... and emphatically...that the oligometastatic state exists in Prostate Cancer and other cancers as well..I believe that if we were to sum it up as an equation, that it would be something

Dexa scan report showing osteoporosis
Did a baseline Dexa scan report for dad who is 83 and with bone mets. Some areas like femur say osteoporosis. He does have mets there. Have started his ADT from today with relugolix. Worried about this dexa report. Would love to hear any inputs from those who had a similar situation.

Methionine restricted diet for recurring PSA and positive PMSA pet scan w/ 1 bone met
quick to the point. PSMA pet showed 1 L2 small met and some lymph activity. My PSA went from 2.01 to 2.9 in one month. after doing some research on diets and supplements . I found that the keto diet is extremely high in the amino acid methionine and I made it worse trying to reduce my blood pressure

Letrozole alone after a year of chemo
Hi everyone, my mom is currently being treated with only letrozole after a year of chemo which didn't work very well (she is 100% Er and Pr). She took it for 5 months after taxol and it worked much better, now she has a follow-up Pet scan after another 5 months. I wanted to know if any of you have successfully

Pluvicto
My dad had his 1st pluvicto injection beginning of May He had his PSA taken 3 weeks later. It went from 16 to 23. I’m hoping this isn’t an indicator that this will fail too. He has been dealing with prostate cancer for 20+ years -prostate removed - watching till number doubled - maybe 5 years
