This channel is the best by far for prostate cancer information. I have learned so much by watching your videos. Thank you.

@georgemorris9616 Месяц назад

Grand Rounds in Urology, Cancer Patient Lab are also excellent. These three I watch regularly, although it can be depressing as a good number of these treatments are not available in Canada yet.

I just want to give words of encouragement to other stage IV metastatic prostate cancer patients. I have been following the regimen discussed in this video, under the care of Dr. Eugene Kwon, for a year now (Lupron, Nubeqa, Taxotere, Radiation.) and it has worked to perfection.

Hi Fred, thank you for that , good to know, I am interested what country are you in to get this what I would call straight forward sensible treatment ?, I am in UK, north , my oncologists etc are also in UK the problem is I am in 2024 they are in some where around 1976 regarding treatment options

I will second this comment. I wasDiagnosed in Nov 22, did radiation on bone Mets followed by triple therapy (taxotere, firmagon, nubeqa) and have had an undetectable PSA last nine months. Looking forward to getting off ADT if I can.

I appreciate all the information this channel is providing to everyone as a 77yrs young person having to undergo radical prostatectomy at age 68 and was told I was fully cure with psa 0.080 for 7 yrs, with a recurrence in 2022 with psa10 having done PSMA Pet scan shows a small nodule that was extracted and psa fell to 0.080 started on lupron22.5mg (Eligard) every 3months after which i did a full pect ct scan that shows metastasis on my L5 and hip bone since then still on lupron injection 22.5 mg bicalutamide 50mg daily and abiraterone 250mg, recently did a blood test that shows psa at 42.3 and Dr increased dosage of aberaterone to 1000mg and 10mg presdnisone and requested another pect ct scan.Its been rough but the good Lord takrs care of us and must be patient.thanks for your so important info.❤

A family member was scheduled for 6 cycles of Taxotere, but decided not to do the 6th cycle due to onset of Neuropathy which caused balance issues after the 5th cycle. The PSA went down to .18 after the 5th cycle. A repeat PET PSMA is scheduled.

@threeftr3349 Месяц назад

My husband 65, had a PSA of 4.7--but because it went up 2 points in 6 months, Gleason 4+3=7, MRI, PSMA, 4k, he has prostate cancer. He is in treatment right now.

@terriblepainter7675 Месяц назад

A family member was checked, found to have high PSA and difficulty peeing. Urologist was repeatedly convinced it was just Prostatitis and prescribed antibiotics and did ultrasound which showed nothing. This went on for months. Family member said I am not getting better and then finally an MRI was done which showed suspicions for cancer. Then biopsy and diagnosis of stage 4 Metastatic Prostate CA with mets in bones and a lymph node. The family member happened to tell this MD on his first consultation that his father had prostate cancer and that should have been a red flag for the MD. Almost a year lost in treatment.

@johnmartinez9295 Месяц назад

Wow, that is me. All three, I came in with PSA 51 and G9, biopsy confirmed 1-12-2024. Bone scan found met.in 5 area. After watching you videos, begged Oncologist to request a PMSA scan, they said they don't usually order those because never approved. Ins.spproved it, since I have stage 4 met.cancer with 2 years to live. This is what they said to me. We did the PSMA scan and found more tumors on lung, liver,spin,throt and stomach. My question is, if all three don't work, what is the best secondary treatment I should be looking at. Thank you again. John

@Skwarek-wp8dc Месяц назад

Lutetium 177, my guess

@terriblepainter7675 Месяц назад

Call the number of Prostate cancer research institute. You can get information there.

@SeekingWisdom17 Месяц назад

I don't know which is best for you, you should consult this with your medical oncologist. Here are some choices: Pluvicto (Lutetium-177). Stronger chemo: add carboplatin to docetaxel/cabazitaxel. Olaparib (Lynparza) if you have BRCA1/2 genome. The least toxic of these may be Pluvicto.

@Mark_Lacey Месяц назад

Hi. Some links to the research on triple therapy would be useful. My PSA started at 3,500, heavily metastasized, over six months on ADT dropped to 0.6 Spoke to my medical oncologist about triple therapy but he wants to keep tools in reserve. I could do with maybe showing him some papers.

@stitcheruk1150 Месяц назад

In 10/2023 my PSA was 310, Gleason 5+4 and metastasised throughout skeleton ( Bone and CT scans - PSMA PET not available ) Was started on 1st generation ADT, immediately followed by Chemotherapy x 6 and 2nd generation Nubeqa. PSA dropped to .10 ( or below ) in 03/2024. Now on ADT and Nubeqa until PSA increases.

@3007akhil Месяц назад

What do you suggest who was (61 yrs) diagnosed with Gleason 9, with negative PSMA PET Scan treated with radical radiation therapy and ADT for 3 years. His PSA is beginning to rise again and the repeat PSMA is still normal. Can he go back on ADT with our workout chemo?

Husband, age 60 had only12 lymph nodes in pelvis/abdominal region at dx. He had a severe reaction after 1 infusion of docetaxel and was discontinued. He's only on Xtandi, since refused ADT, and PSA is slowly rising now and urologist is wanting to add Pluvicto. I am worried about neutropenia because of chemo reaction. What other options do you suggest? He doesn't qualify for BAT because of high Testosterone. Also he has not had any radiation yet. Looking into prostatic chemoembolization as an option.

@johnmartinez9295 Месяц назад

Do the all three, find Chemo that he can stan, and live your life.

@SeekingWisdom17 Месяц назад

Was that an allergic reaction to docetaxel? Has he had Benadryl prior the infusion? If he tried docetaxel again then maybe try slower speed of delivery, Benadryl and steroids (dexamethasone), maybe . Or try to switch to cabazitaxel instead of docetaxel. Against neutropenia: Routine in top hospitals is to use Neulasta (with claritin) with docetaxel or cabazitaxel. He should consider ADT. Fatigue can be dealt with working out, possible temporary erectile dysfunction can be treated with pills.

@shelleyhale563 Месяц назад

@SeekingWisdom17 I didn't know about Neulasta then as I do now. We tried to ask about doing lower dose docetaxel but MO refused saying there is no efficacy which I have found supporting evidence that there is. However, he won't do it anyway. I don't believe he has an allergy to docetaxel. It was cytotoxic reaction resulting in fluid restoration. He went syncope several times after that chemo for a few days. I have been trying to convince him to start orgovyx. One of the guys from PCRI called and explained it to him. So I think he is on board now. He wants to do another psa and if it's elevated again he will start.

A 78 year old man went for regular PSA tests and physical exams, latest check August 2023. No indication of a problem. January 2024 he had blood in urine. In March 2024, PSA scan showed multiple lesions on axial skeleton, spine, pelvis, scapula etc. Stage 9 Gleason. PSA at 10. Was placed on Eligard / Lupron in February. By late May PSA had dropped to 0.36. Oncologist recommended not proceeding with chemotherapy due to rapidly dropping PSA score. Rather keep chemotherapy in reserve. Should the patient proceed with chemotherapy?
