My gleason score 4+4, fortunately no spread outside prostate. Waiting 6 months whilst on hormone 3 monthly injections worst part, although 79 keen cyclist & very fit. July 2024 had 5 sessions heavy duty radiation on PACE trial over 10 days. Painful peeing & poor flow afterwards. Any type of erection or desire now zero, OK with that if PC gone. PSA before 6.8, no symptoms, first PSA after 0.23, oncologist pleased. Decided to end injections & try & regain some level of strength/fittness. Treatment carried out at Exeter hospital here in UK, hope this is helpful to any of you guys waiting for similar, good luck!

I'm in the UK and its virtually impossibe to get a GP appointment within a reasonable time (usually weeks). I had blood in my pee and no hope of getting an appointment. For several days I was drinking warm water (lots of it) and my pee is now normal. Not sure if I was just fortunate or will it come back again. Time will tell.

i was gleason 9 , I had implants , external beam and adt , my psa was 0.02 for 3.5 years it then climbed to 0.04 then 6 months later 0.06 then 6 months later it went back to 0.02

Thank you amen 🙏

Having transrectal ultrasound biospy, but feeling apprehensive due to being a kidney transplant recipient with altered anatomy. My doctor is confident the in office prodecure will go fine and tells me that radiology can't produce good enough images to assist in the procedure and blew my query off. Just seems and mri providing productive images or not is a good first step, but who am i? Im just a esrd patient 6 1/2 years peritoneal dialysis and 5 years post organ transplant.

Very informative!! Thanks

You guys make an electric team. The men, the legends, the blues Brothers of the Perineum!🎉

Thankyou Dr Wayne and PCRI. Such an informative session I had a radiacal prostetectomy in 2013 and PSA rose so was followed up with 35 sessions of radiation treatment mid 2014. My PSa has since been undetectable. I am so very lucky. However 2 years ago I started to have blood in my urine. I have had 2 rigid cystoscopies and diathermy. A couple of times with heavy bleading and clots and recently heavy bleeding clots and retention - I spent 4 days in the hospital. I am hoping that I may be a candidate for hyperbaric oxygen sessions. Has anyone here had that treatment for radiation cystitis ?? Thanks from Australia

Nearly 3 years post surgical prostatectomy, stage pT3a. no lymph or seminal vesc involment but focal EPE present. Undetectable PSA for 2 years but has gone from .04 to .1 in the last 9 months. These numbers are small but seem to be increasing rapidly and Decipher score of .97. Plan is to do salvage RT and ADT. Is anyone familiar with using a spacer in post Surg Prosatectomy to protect the rectum? My oncology radiologist said since the prostate is gone there's no place to put the spacer, are there other barrier options to protect rectum? 68 yo white male in good health.

Great Presentation

Great information !!!!

Taking .5mg Dusty every other day. Because of its Half-Life and the fact it takes up to 6 months to get out of your system, it makes no sense to take it everyday! There are some studies that show, you only need to take it two to three times a week. With that said, my every other day dosage, I've noticed better flow. No sexual side effects. Just lower amounts of ejaculation. We'll see more in 6 months, when my blood work comes back.

Hi ,My uncle is having prostate cancer group 2 (3+4),what to do he is 60 and psa was 1200

My husband just had an MRI and is now scheduled for targeted biopsy in February. I just sorted reading Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers. I have watched many of y’all’s videos. We will approach this informed thanks to you☺️

So a seed in the lung isn’t a problem for the lung but could it be a problem for the prostate treatment because it’s not there?

Thank you Dr. Scholtz for taking the time to help those who are going through difficult time dealing with this disease.

He says at around 21:50, something to the effect that women can take hirmone therapy, too: Quote: "It's a big INDUSTRY." [My emphasis.] ANd there you have it. News at 11.

Hormone therapy is just a coverup name for chemical castration! The Lupron drug which they use to castrate men was developed for sex offenders, child molesters, and violent rapists! This is not hormone therapy! This is destruction of your testacles ! If you are old live your life, be brave these drugs will make you miserable, sick,suicidal etc. Do not let them destroy your testosterone!

Was treated last year for Intermediate PCa at age 71 with LDR Brachytherapy. My previous two docs I interviewed ASSUMED ADT would be used. I am so grateful my ONCRAD never even mentioned ADT as part of the therapy. My PSA continues to go further below zero.

I appreciate the informative/educational aspect of your videos. I was recently Dx with biochemical recurrence 6 years post radical prostectomy. PSMA scan has been scheduled and will follow up with radiation oncology to discuss treatment options. Knowing the different treatment options and associated side effects and how they can be managed gives me peace of mind moving forward. Thank you!

The prostate cancer elephant 🐘 in the room? Vitamin D

Listen carefully!! The study he discusses is related to "processed meat" (ie junk food) and NOT "animal protein". Processed meat is very different to a grass fed steak!!

She is very wrong about vitamin d. All of the knowledgable doctors know more is better with vitamin d.

This is excellent & detailed information for any man with Prostate Cancer.

Please answer my father finsh rt 05.2023 first psa after rt 08.2023 0.03, 12.2023 0.09, 04.2024 0.15, 07.2024 0.2, 12.2024 0.19

Appt with Urologist 11-8-2024, Biopsy 11-26, results 12-9: 4+4=8 on 1 spot and two 3+4=7 and one 6. Full body bone scan and abd/pelvis Cat scans = negative. Waiting for Decipher but urologist very satisfied by results and set Eligard + radiation. According to him Decipher will tell ADT treatment length. In truth I was worried yet after biopsy results but after scans results Urologist basically said you’ll be fine don’t worry… Sure but it seems no way to avoid that darned ADT!

First video that mentions small cell cancer.You mentioned Bot named Sue and good the bad n the ugly. I have no insurance, paying out of pocket . What r the chances I can pay u too look MRI results?

Wow ! U are awesome buddy .

This is by far the most up to date, professional, ethical and honest channel about prostate cancer! You can't make a decision that works best for you if you are not thoroughly and honestly informed about the disease and your treatment options. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case because of various reasons.

Cholesterol doesn't seem to matter these days Keto is a clean diet and HDL will go up.

Just recieved PET Scan report from Urologist and whilst most pc like 95 percent still in prostate there is a spread just starting on the edges heading for lymph node. next step is radiology to discuss treatment options like radiation and or hormone therapy. Im at that part of the journey to work outthe best treatment options that minimise side effects and working on reducing PSA readings. I have not experience any related symptoms related to my 3A stage and praying the right pathway will be walked. Stay positive and love thy neighbour. Thanks to Dr Sloth and lovely presenter

I have 2 lesions which are both Gleason 6 according to Quest Diagnostics. It was 3+4 1 year before by another lab. I now found out I have a 3rd lesion which is 4+5 . Going for a pet scan next then decide my treatment plan.I feel I want to get this biopsy checked again from decipher to make sure it is 4+5

The host asks all the right questions. She is awesome and Dr Schultz always gives a precise explanation. I get so much important information from these PCRI videos. Keep up the good work. I have been watching my 2 lesions which we’re 3+4 . After my last MRI they found a 3rd lesion which came back as a 4+5 and the other 2 lesions came back as 3+3 instead of 3+4. I’m going for a pet scan next and will decide which course of action to take. Very nervous about finding out about the 4+5 Gleason score. I’ve been doing active surveillance on the other 2 lesions . They have not changed. I’m hoping I can do some type of focal therapy .

Thank you so much! Over the past several years, PCRI has made a huge difference in my treatment plan and hence quality of life. It is scary to think where I would be if it weren't for PCRI.

Your videos are providing excellent information. I had ridiculously high PSA- 7630- now down to just under 1000. My scans show "innumerable" tumors- Ive just started Doxetaxel and Im feeling good. Click on my name to see my latest videos on my successes

In your late 50’s Can the Prostate go back to normal after radiation treatments………

I am 16 days post TURP op and still have catheter after two failed trials to void. Had a 112 cm prostate and PSA 17.5 which was higher than the PSA taken a month earlier at 15 Have been put on Flomax 8mg and Bethanocol 25mg 3 times per day and have another trial to void in 4 days. my KZbin channel is following this unfortunate episode and it's difficult to stay positive as I had full urinary retention which brought hospitalization and its been exactly 5 months since this began.

We live in a strange era. Large industrial corporations enter the market, offering their barely tested products through intrusive advertising just to extract money from the market. This was the case during the pandemic. It is the same with the now widespread, expensive robotics! The results of surgical treatment using a surgical robot are not significantly better than cheap, classic open surgeries, yet both doctors and patients have been forced into performing them. We don't operate better. We operate in a significantly more expensive manner. Nobody gets profits except... the company that produces those robots. There is a need for fair advice and help in that jungle. It is important that patients take enough time to make sure that their decision is correct. Prostate cancer is a chronic disease and is not going to disappear after surgery or radiation. I would start from sport, modification of a diet and ... vitamin D3/K2

I'm 51, based out of India, My PSA is 13.7 and Gleason score 7, 4+3, Doctor advised to go for Robotic prostatectomy, Next going for PSMA scan on 30th Dec. what are best options for me.

Is it ok to have sex & will it cause any additional issues?

IS Turp just a new name for turkey in 2024?

My husband's biopsy result is 5+4=9 for right prostate tissue and 3+5=8 for left prostate tissue. Please advise best doctor to see please. What is the best decision for us?

Excellent talk. What treatment modality would be preferable in a 55 year old paraplegic who's recently diagnosed cancer is confined to the prostate?

3+4=7 psa 13 pirads 5 what to do surgery other option

Actinium is basically a last resort nuke.

Stage 4 for me, PSA was 174 at diagnosis , going on 5 years, some Hormone Therapy, but mainly Holistic Protocols. Still work, until next month. Still go to the gym,💪💯☮️
