I'm seeing a RT this Thursday for a radiation consultation and more than likely a Zoladex injection. If I understand correctly I should have blood drawn and tested so they have a baseline...
Hi Larry, I had my latest blood test result March 6th , it was .2 not sure if you saw that so it does confirm increasing levels. My consult with the RT is this Thursday so I'm comfortable starting...
Update Just got my psa result for March 4th. It is now .2 which is up another .03 in exactly 30 days. I have an appointment on March 12th with a RT. I am going to ask for an adt injection. Any...
Just red wine at this point. Maybe a glass a day, I know, it's probably too much but I believe in the resveratrol helping....
Really informative thank you so much....
If there is a major adverse finding in the post-op path report, yes for adjuvant after RP. I was fortunate (so far) in that I had none, so I'm in a holding pattern with NED (no evidence of disease)...
Yes, a very good question to ask and discuss with the RO. I'm hoping to get my appointment in the snail mail this week and hopefully it's soon....
So what I understand after reading that study is, regardless which primary treatment you received, there are better long term success and survival rates to G9&10 RP patients if they get adjuvant or...
Found it never mind...
What does PCSM and Acm stand for? There not listed under the abbreviations on the home page. Thanks...
Why is it that when you research these things a lot of clinics say not to get SRT until you have 2 consecutive psa readings of .2 or higher. Some big name treatment centers guidelines say not to get...
Well, that's health care in Canada for you. My surgeon thought really nothing of my psa rise from undetectable 3 months after RARP to .02 6 months after and then .17 9 months after RP. He's like,...
Okay thank you I will investigate Lupron and ask at my appointment if I should be on it now. Im not even sure if im a good candidate for radiation, maybe I should be on ADT immediately. I saw a John...
Hello everyone, haven't posted in a long time. Had my RARP back in apr/19, pathology said stage 3b no lymph nodes involved. He saved one nerve removed the other and I had sv invasion. Jul/19 first...
Thanks F8 for also helping me to make a decision on how to proceed, I'll get a 2nd opinion from a radiation oncologist hopefully before I meet with my surgeon Mar 4....
Great information and I think I will phone to see how quickly I can get in to see a radiation oncologist for a second opinion but again in Canada things like this take time and I only have till Mar...
I'm just more comfortable with the thought of getting the prostate removed and hopefully, all the cancer with it. My first surgeon implied radiation first, makes surgery unlikely as a secondary...
Basically my strategy before my surgery rolls around, is to have the ADT kill the majority of the cancer and then through nutrition, supplements, diet, and lifestyle make it hard for the cancer to...
Thanks for replies. I'm in Canada so you have to understand the health care system can be a very slow process to navigate,unfortunately for me in my circumstances. I fully intend to get surgery asap...
Hi, I think I fall into a more uncommon ADT protocol than the majority of people here. I have been put on Zoladex before my prostate surgery to hold or slow the progression of cancer. I'm a Gleason...

Hey 2019, I've been taking Neem super critical extract twice a day for the last 3 months but can't tell you if it's accomplishing anything as being on Zoladex masks any natural or herbal remission...
HI Billy Bob.Thanks for the reminder, the clinic put me on Bicalutamide for those 2 weeks before the Zoladex injection. I do not know if it's supposed to lower your psa or not. There is a difference...
Hello, I have been to this site before in researching my prostate cancer and decided today to register as this topic caught my attention. I was confirmed/diagnosed sep/2018 with a biopsy that showed...
