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).

Greetings followers of FPC; It is time to set things straight in regards to the oligometastatic state in prostate caner. Posters will tell you that it does not exist because of micrometastases.

ADT failure
We saw my Dad's MO on 5/23. Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's PSA moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto. My

Side effect of Lupron
We have a quesiton about swelling foot and ankle after Lupron injection and wonder if anyone has had a similar experience. My husband was just diagnosed with PC back in April, and he is on ADT while waiting for his CK treatment this month. After three-weeks of Lupron injection, he now has a swollen

Hypogonadism, heat flushing, and testosterone replacement
Hi all, It is almost a year since I had my external beam radiation for Gleason 7 (3+4) PCa (see my profile). So far so good: 4 PSA tests were reassuringly low. I am now almost 82 and I am hoping to deal with my strange heat-flushing problem, which I have had for several years. It predates my cancer

Hot Flashes
Centrum is advertising a number of products that reduce hot flashes in post menopausal women. Are any of these effective for those of us on ADT ?

How is the second generation ADT like xtandi , zytiga etc decided ?
What determines which second line ADT will be given to whom ? I see there is zytiga , xtandi , nubeqa and others. Is it just left to the MO to decide ?

How do I gradually run faster, what’s best?
I need to go to go out & do Wk 8 Run 2 this morning & prevaricating (but will do it) …. I’m an exceptionally slow runner and run 1 on Wednesday felt rubbish, so was good to read about Toxic 10 & Tomato Ten in someone else’s post as I do have these! (And in swimming too!) I want to run gradually faster

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

PALB2 Stage 4 A prostate cancer treatment plan.
My Partner has stage 4A prostate cancer spread to the nodules and has the PALB2 gene. How effective is internal and external radiation and ADT as the first line of treatment? 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
