Am I correct in assuming you did not have ADT as part of your treatment? If so, my experience probably isn't helpful since ADT had knocked my PSA essentially down to zero. When I finished my ADT...
Hey JR...glad you reported in and wow, this is one of the most interesting posts I think I've read on this site. It's certainly not something we hear much about. And very interesting how many PCa...
Interesting...I did not know about the link between constipation and elevated PSA, but it also goes to show that PSA alone is not always the best indicator of cancer as many things can impact it....
His PSA is somewhat high, but there are a lot of things that can increase PSA. That said, I don't recall constipation being a cause. Has he had other PSA tests in the past? If so, that would give you...
Thank you for sharing his final journey. May your brother rest in peace....
Sorry about your latest results--and just in time for the holidays. Agree on the need for a second opinion on your biopsy slides--particularly as a G8. I was also initially diagnosed as a G8 and my...
I was just writing about being thankful...so let me paste that into this post: I’m thankful that this community on HealingWell exists. I was diagnosed with PCa at age 51 in 2012 . I wouldn’t say I...
I believe there was an earlier thread about this. My wife had a very difficult time with the first shot, but was fine with the second. I haven't scheduled my shots yet, but given the two shot timing...
The length of time that guys can respond to ADT varies--for many guys having it work for several years. At that point, next line treatments are typically used, but it seems doubtful that you would...
So sorry to hear this. I would assume that ADT would be prescribed and that would have a high likelihood of shrinking his mets and reducing his bone pain. Wishing you and your family the best with a...
In 2000, Giuliani was planning on running against Hillary Clinton for the US Senate seat in New York. He pulled out of the race rather late in the game, which he partly attributed to his PCa...
As I recall, you're a financial advisor. Ever thought of using your knowledge in some sort of volunteer fashion in retirement? An educational seminar by someone that has nothing to sell could be very...
62gal...I'd like to encourage you to start your own thread since I think you'll get more replies than being part of this thread. And hopefully you don't actually have PCa. Regarding your comments, 74...
mattam...thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it!...
Sorry you've got to the point where you need to treat. As to a treatment choice, you should have very good success with any of the treatments available and there really isn't a "gold standard"...
