Cancer went to lungs
We just found out (this week) my husbands's cancer has gone to his lungs. He went off ADT for only 6 months, and this happened. The dr started him back on ADT today (originally he was going to do it earlier, but he said my husband could wait until after vacation and do a CT scan once we returned to see how everything…
Conflicting PI-RAD and Prolaris results
I have been diagosed with Gleason 3+4=7 PCa with a PSA of 5.9 and a normal DRE (T1c). I am 71 years old. My PI-RAD score was a 5 with a small, localized tumor found. My MRI-guided biopsy showed 34% positive cores. Since this put me in a favorable intermediate classification my doctor ordered a Prolaris genomic test. It…

Incontinence and other stuff

New to this and a little confused
I've been reading a lot of posts here and find myself getting more confused. I'm 55 and was diagnosed with cancer on July 6. My dad had his prostate removed in 2013 at age 72 and that was followed up with radiation about 6-7 months later. My 54 yo brother was diagnosed with 3+3 cancer last year and is on active…
Ativan for Anxiety Helps
Couple of rough nights lately due to anxiety over my upcoming urologist visit (7-22) and stress over COVID, among other things. The anxiety got bad enough that I required an ER visit. I was checked out, blood panels okay. Got an Ativan injection and an Atarax prescription. The Ativan calmed me down for the ride home. Had a…
Lutetium-177-PSMA-617
Apparently, the Phase 3 trial for lutetium-177-PSMA-617 had positive results. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/a-new-treatment-for-advanced-prostate-cancer-improves-survival-in-phase-3-clinical-trial-202107122543 From what I gather, lutetium is now a treatment for PCa as well as a contrast agent for use in its detection.
I need to better deal with stress:
I need to better deal with stress: I have had a very hard time dealing with stress lately and it crossed my mind to look into common meds, such as Ativan (I see some good info on various CSN discussion boards about Ativan). I had a very hard time sleeping last night. Stress troubling me. Having to pee every so often didn’t…
