I’ve been on Relugolix and abiraterone for 8-1/2 months. The first 6 months were a breeze. At 7 months the honeymoon was over and I’ve faced debilitating depression plus nausea. Some days have been brutal. 8-1/2 more months to go. Wish me luck.

I've had 2 biopsy's done 6 or 7 years ago. They are uncomfortable. Inserting the probe is the worst part. Actually shooting the needles in is not that bad. I felt the first one but the other 11 were painless

Very comprehensive overview.

Hallo mam If you have stomach problems, you can take medicine after eating certain foods.

I was having rapid increases in my PSA level. Doubled every year. They did a biopsy of my prostate it looked good. I insisted on an MRI of my prostate. I had a deadly form of prostate cancer in the exact center of my prostate. That is why it was missed during the biopsy. The biopsy only samples the outside of the prostate.

I went through only 6 months of ADT along with salvage radiation at 62 yo and I experienced nearly every side effect they discussed and At a very significant level. Worst was the high fatigue, joint pain, 25lbs fat gain (very difficult to lose when you come off ADT btw). The very worst concern I have about ADT, and especially when combined with androgen pathway inhibiters (ARPI), is this therapy seems to cause or hasten the mutation of the original cancer in too more aggressive, castration resistant mutations that are resistant to conventional treatments.

UM, if I was male for 70 years or more, would I have to consult a female medical expert?

Should I eat the plants behind the presenter. From "just wondering from Australian post code 2371" ?

These medical guys and girls just want to make as much money out of our prostates without a good diet solution?

"If it's not medical grade, it won't do what it's saposed to." Making this type of broad sweeping proclamations is missleding. There's a video on ths subject from the UK's National Health Service that says you can buy a sub $30 device and do just fine. But you have to use it properly and consistantly. If you choose to use a VED, it's more about your ability to use it, than it is about th cost or maker of the device.

Selective inhibitors appear to be more effective under immunotherapy

all talk

It sucks he was so guarded with the sexual questions. A lot of us are curious how anal sex feels without a prostate.

To protect the rectum, consider, SpaceOAR is a hydrogel spacer that's injected between the prostate and rectum to reduce the effects of radiation therapy on the rectum during prostate cancer treatment. I think it's a great concept but expect some, "we don't do that." Well, doc, then refer me...because there are some who are experienced. It's protective against rectal breakdown, who wants explosive diarrhea while out shopping?

Another Texan here, I had prostate cancer in 2005, with many issues around ED. In 2016, I started the transition.

Could someone there comment about Professor Thomas Seyfried's position about metabolically managing cancer? The following link is to a presentation regarding primarily prostate cancer, which I have: Dr Geo interviews , Professor Thomas Seyfried about prostate cancer kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZvYfaB8iJtnh80&si=fUo72vggGYU0O_y-

Butter?

Some say ... doctor make worst patient ...

Wish this thinking was around in 1996. Life would be so much better!

No woman has ever had the need to check her prostate. The westernized nonsense from bored narcissists always crumbs when faced with reality.

Anyone else having massive pain when doing a poo in lower belly and even massive pressure in penis because of the catheter? I now dred havinga poo I ferl like I could pass out with pain.

What a truly amazing video. Thank you both!

I was told nothing about ADT at all before being put on it other than "you'll have hot flashes and tiredness." By month four I was planning my suicide. I got some mental health help and finished my six month sentence but I will NEVER do that again. Death is preferable. Even the thought of ADT again makes me shudder. It was awful. BTW--your testosterone never fully returns. I'm 58 and my T was 800 before ADT and now a year later it hasn't gone above 650.

Sending prayers to you and your Dad.

it should be spelled t-SCNC that is, little t dash SCNC as the latter is the cancer and t- means treatment emergent.

Suddenly I am glad my biopsy showed adenocarcinoma in each of the samples. TSCNC survival rates are scary.

Sad deal..😢

Im 64 prostate cancer 6 month lupron adt it is is bad but i had to take it to srink the tumor and the prostate

I’m confused about Sulforaphane. Is he saying taking it in the supplement form is bad?

Very informative. Thanks Dr Abrams

Great video. I waited 8 months after surgery (2 months after salvage RT) to see a urologist specializing in men’s sexual health. I had near zero ED prior to surgery. He started me on injections right away to keep things healthy. My erections are as good as they were before surgery and the injection is not a big deal. If you are a post surgical prostate cancer patient reading this, don’t settle for a shitty life. Fight to get your sex life back. It is possible. Good luck.

Im 64 years old gleason 7 3+4 I would like to tell my story on here send me a msg.

Prostate surgery is big business .....side effects worse than the disease .....butchery ... NEVER

Great video, super helpful. Question that came to mind ; what happens if the "robot" fails when the source is in the prostate? If it only takes a couple of minutes to radiate the entire prostate would hate to think what happens if one gets stuck for a while..

thank you for this. I am 47 and was recently diagnosed with gleason 6 3+3 and doing active surveillance. I keep getting itching in the anal area and am not sure where it comes from. Sometimes it feels like its the prostate or hemorroids but I cannot tell and its frustrating. Can anyone help with a possible cause, as I am triggered by everything and thinking its the cancer growing.

Thank you all for this. I was also told almost nothing. But would like being in this group as I am experiencing many not nice symptoms. I started hormone therapy 3 months ago with psa 12.5, and gleason 9. I am 79 and have had bad fatigue already 10-12 years, supposedly autoimmune issues. I have not taken radiation therapy and my psa is now 0.8. I am interested in hearing from those who can guide me on the diet. I will begin weight training. After hearing all the horror stories on other sites by patients that had radiation or surgery, I’m not wanting to go that route. I’d rather have what life I have now and hope for the best but am not worried about nature taking its course. Thank both of you doctors for this and facilitator for this.

Pet scan is very good.

Never just take one doctors findings get a second opinion.

Thank you for your story

Sorry to hear about your romantic life there are other options

Im 64 i had hormone therapy 6 months and 28 ex beam radiation treatments had a lot of side effects from both treatments

At this point do u have any side effects like ed ?

You have BPH is my opinion

Im 64 i had28 radiations treatments and 1 month from last radiation and only halfway errection with 40 units of trimix and 50 units is max will try that next 11 5 24

I am grateful for the informative tip. I was unaware that Mario had revised his preferred method for addressing ED. While his previous suggestion was sound, it was somewhat difficult to implement. I recently go’ogled Mario Volpstein and discovered his new method to be significantly more straightforward and potent.

Thanks for your sharing! How about protac ar-v7 degrade

ADT destroyed my life. I took Orgovyx for a month. PSA went from 5.5 to 1.5. Side effects were brutal. Testosterone went from 500 to 12. Stopped tsking it for a month. Felt so much better. Hot the gym again. Life was great. But PSA went back to 5.5 and T went back to 600. So took Orgovyx again. Been on it for a month. T is down to 15 and psa is 2.0. I feel weak, tired, dizzy, hot flashes. So today 10 31 2024 I've decided no more. The side effects aren't worth it. Last year i was bench pressing 500 pounds which at my age was impressive. Today I struggle with a doing push ups. In 20 years there will be lawsuits against the makers of this evil drug just like Phenphen weight loss drug of 30 years ago. Seeking other options. But ADT is a no go for me. This isnt living.

is there reliable immunotherapy in europe?

I’m 61 been on anti t injections for almost a year prostap and daily tablets of bicaxutanide half way through 37 sessions of radiotherapy No sex drive my favorite toy is broken put on about a stone my bench and deadlifts have dropped quite a bit quite tired but the hot flushes are really winding me up. Any my broken favorite toy is getting smaller my only thoughts on looking at someone I would have fancied in the past is. I bet she makes a good cheese sandwich. I just hope that as soon as I come off anti testosterone I become normal again
