PeterDisAbelard. Interesting. The text below suggest a high false positive for C11 scans. But I guess a biopsy would be the final arbitrator. The FDA is also very clear that [11C]choline-facilitated...
Looks like any possibility of a cure has slipped through my fingers however likely or unlikely it might have been. Still coming to terms with it. I'm 54 and in pretty good shape and headed for Lupron...
Well, I got my retest - PSA went up from 0.11 on 20 May to 0.17 today. Freakin' rocket. Tomorrow I get a bone scan, and pelvis & abdomen CT scan. Hoping there's no detection of visceral disease - I...
Thanks for the comments...and you are correct Rob2, my Psa was 0.11 - I also included my G-score below. Big Mac's experience is interesting, what can temporarily spike psa in the absence of a...
Three years of bliss comes to an end - I've been no higher than 0.05 psa since my RP in March 2011. So life has been pretty good. Unfortunately, things appear to have have changed. My six month test...
Actual one of the studies I originally cited finds a clear PCa benefit to exercise. Other than the various types of surgery/radiation/drugs the only other area left is the holistic mind/body/spirit...
Contraire F8, I've started running a lot and love it - and will do so regardless of any substantiated PCa benefit. I'm just fishing for data beyond the anecdotal i.e., Michael Milken etc. Milken's...
HW views on exercise... I guess it's kinda like pomegranate juice - can't hurt so what have you got to lose? A current study indicates a clear benefit for PCa specific survival with exercise and...
Tony, I don't meet the 4 criteria, but your article went on to say many men with +margins and Gleason 7 fall into the >70% category. So, by that standard I do...although they don't really provide any...
As I understand it, LVI indicates the cancer has acheived an intital step necessary for metastasis - but there are still many more required steps for sucessful metastasis - my radiation oncologist...
I don't think I've come across a T3 10-year BCR free member on HW. It would be interesting to hear from one. K2...
Tony, What's the pT3R1? The Germans apparently use different nomenclature than the U.S. Thanks for the link - K2 pT3R1 prostate cancer : Immediate or delayed radiotherapy after radical...
Rcroller, I think I read the "window of opportunity" study you’re referring to but overall the ART vs. SRT benefit (if there is one) is small. However, what I was referring in my earlier comments...
Looking for info... Are there any studies that show increased survival rates for post RP RT. Mostly I've seen studies indicating improved BFR timelines but no impact on overall survival rates - there...
I'm currently receiving IGRT as an adjuvant therapy and the machine scans your pelvis before every treatment - yea, in my case 38 treatments not to mention the actual cancer killing radiation...
