Abiraterone vs DAROLUTAMIDE

Powers love to talk about "DHT mutants", for transwomen with a high DHT despite good or high doses of E, and sometimes proper AA treatment too, with either normal, low, or very low T ; for which he thinks the prevalence is like 1/30: /r/DrWillPowers/comments/jbbcbi/today_i_saw_the_worst_dht_mutant_i

Late 60s man with a history of Gleason 8-9 prostate cancer dx in 2018 s/p radical prostatectomy 2018, salvage radiation early 2019, was on ADT for 1 year following that with undetectable PSAs until mid-2022 (0.3). Doubling time around 2 months I think, with local mets to a single LN. Went back on AD

I wanted to post an update about how things are going as well as info on my "lessons learned" so far. The post is long but I hope this information will help someone else. I was diagnosed with a GS 9 (4+5) on May 9th, 12/12 cores positive. Imaging (CT, bone scan and PSMA PET scan) showed lymph nod

It was exactly 1 year ago that I got my first elevated PSA test that started my prostate cancer experience (I don’t like to say “Journey”). [Details in my comic.](http://burnscomic.com) Since then, I had another PSA test (still elevated a month later), a pelvic MRI (showing pi-rads 5 areas), then a

Hi friends, Firstly thank you to everyone that responded to my original post, it was not only comforting but you shared some really good links to reference material. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProstateCancer/s/r9N5l1EXLb PET Scan Results - Unfortunately my PET scan showed that the cancer has spread in

My dad 73 was diagnosed around 2 years ago, with a gleason of 9, stage 4 and spread to his bones. He was treated with a triple therapy approach of ADT, Docetaxel and Abiraterone. 6 session of Docetaxel in 2022. His PSA started rising 3 months ago and he’s having pain in his hip. There is a lesion th

My story starts six months ago at age 52 with a biopsy after TURP surgery. The TURP was performed after I had issues with emptying my bladder and urgency. Blood tests showed a PSA of 1.16 and digital exams were normal. A urodynamics test showed my bladder was performing normally. All of the tests

Powers has some "issues" with the "price" of abiraterone: > A $10000 a month drug that nobody will have access to. Fortunately, our most excellent /u/kirbyofdeath_r has found a practical solution: > i checked on alibaba and you can outright buy the powder in the kilograms for what, $100 (or as

It was 2 years ago today that I got the email with my ugly prostate MRI results showing a large PIRAD 5 lesion with spread outside the prostate and to regional lymph nodes. (Biopsy later showed Gleason 9 (4+5) in 12/12 cores.) It was the worst day of my life. I was out of the country, working

I recently "came out" to my larger circle of extended family and friends about having prostate cancer. It feels much better now that more people know. As this is Prostate Cancer Awareness month, I also wanted to let people know to encourage men to get screening. I have been very successful at gettin

Howdy! I've commented here for a while, but I figured I would make a post because I'm looking for input and thoughts. ​ I have been dealing with an issue where hrt is giving me brain fog, lack of focus, and emotional numbing. It seems counterintuitive because so many people report HRT m

So this is my update to this post from roughly 6 months ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProstateCancer/s/CPFvN9R8qu I got new imaging, as you can see. All the white are metastases. Pretty lame. So to recap quickly. PSA of 1096 when diagnosed. Did ADT and chemo. PSA dropped down to around after I finis

Dear community, my 67-year old father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer stage IV (PSA 57, Gleason 4+3=7b; cT4 N1 M1b with mets in pelvis and lower spine). Some context on him and us: He was enjoying his job as a voluntary janitor at our local church, which kept him physically active, as well a
