To Treat or Not To Treat??
I just had my consultation with my urologist.. I am borderline active surveillance and treatment based on my biopsy (24 samples) which showed one small tumor in one small area (2 core samples ..25% tissue ) graded 4+3.. Although surgery is his specialty, he ordered a genomic test (Decipher) will wait for results of that…
What is happening?
I am a woman and obviously do not have prostate cancer but my good friend does. He saw his regular doctor who did labs found his PSA to be in the 300's. He ordered more tests. Ct, mri,labs and pet scan. Next visit was a referral to an oncologist because the scan showed prostate cancer with metastasis to spine, skull,…

I went in for my annual PSA check and meeting with my urological surgeon's P.A. today. My seventh 'undetectable,' which means no residual PCa that current technology can detect. I give thanks. For the many newbies here, I was diagnosed Stage 2 in 2014, had DaVinci proctectomy in early 2015. Good luck to all, and know that…
Neuroendrocrine Tumors
Just Got Diagnosed
Hello everyone, I am 70, in generally good health according to blood tests. Had a Prostate MRI, now scheduled for a Biopsy. My PSA went from about 4.5 a year ago to 6.5 this year (2022) then jumped to 7.3 in a matter of a few months. Here is MRI radiology report summary: "IMPRESSION: Overall PI-RADS 4: Clinically…
neuro-endocrine tumors
People tend to write you off as if you are dead. They alo want to take possesion of your body as if you caused the cancer because you were stupid. I don't understand this new idea that people cause their illness. We were there and our bodies responded in a negative way. With this tumor, I hope to live more years than I…
Abiraterone and dizziness/light-headedness
I've been on Abiraterone for about six months. I'm experience dizziness and seeing spots. It seems to be getting worse as time goes by. I was wondering if anyone else has experience this, and if so, have you found anything that helps?
SBRT 18 mo. ago and cancer is back
Greetings. I just joined the forum to help with my research to find the best therapy. I'm 73 and ~ 20 mo. ago had a rising PSA to about 9 with biopsy showing low risk (3+3) and high volume (5 of 6 cores positive, one at 80%.). So I elected for SBRT, Cyberknife and now 18 mo later my PSA went from 0.6 to 1.5. A subsequent…
Decision time. ADT holiday or add Secondary Agent? Please advise!
In 2010 at the age of 59, I had Da Vinci surgery with a Gleason 4+5=9 and PSA of 9. Post surgical biopsy showed all margins clear with no seminal vesicle involvement and Gleason post-op score was changed to a 4+3. Subsequent PSA was non-detectable as tested every three months. Five years after surgery I felt confident…
AUS800
Has anyone out there had their AUS800 "migrate" out of position after surgery? My surgeon had me return after 6 weeks to activate and he couldn't find it where it should be? Said I would have to undergo manual positioning to try to move it by the himself. After 15 minutes I said to stop because of the escalating pain…
