I recently completed my 6th of 28 radiation treatments. I haven’t seen anyone else comment on this, but I wanted to say that although I am happy to be getting life-saving radiation, the process of keeping my bladder full and my bowels empty on a pinpoint schedule has been rather grueling... in fact, far more grueling than the radiation, itself. Has anyone else struggled with this?

Great video Thanks !

I’ve going thru radiation now , and I have a overactive bladder what can be done for that side affect

I had robotic prostate surgery, My PSA went from 8.2 to 4.7. What does that mean ?

Would radiation therapy have helped if my prostate was totally cancerous? Which it was diagnosed after it was removed. I was able to get an erection after my surgery. It’s been about six weeks since my surgery and I’ve had several erections. So I’m just going to take it easy and let nature take its course. I wish you guys the best success! Stay Strong!

Another great talk to help us take a deep breath and keep the panic at bay. Thank you.

Excellent, I'd love to hear of the relationship of PSA results and risk, for instance a PSA of 12, vs 24, vs 55.... I'd love to hear about immune system (T-cell) targeting. Yes, the prostate resist them but I've read that very low carb with glutamine blockers, unlock the gates, so to speak allowing T-cells onto their target... That just sounds elegant much like the way 5-f or imiquimod works on BCC or SCCs.

Its 1 year next month and I have still incontinence not much and its not bother me anymore butbI still take betmiga tablet though. I have incontenence during my arousement because I take also diff meds for my ed.

I had an enlarged prostate.PSA was 5.83 Dr did A TURP and sent in sample for biopsy. Came back with a Gleason score of 4+3=7. Diagnosed cancer confined to the prostrate. After a week removed catheter and gave me a hormonal injection saying it will shrink and slowdown growth of cancer... The PSA after TURP was. 0.56. I did a PSA after 3 months came down to 0.08.. Dr wanted to do Brachytherapy and radiation immediately. I disagreed and went for a 2nd opinion suggesting removal of the prostrate. Side effects of excessive sweating and ED.. 4 months later still have those side effects... Thinking of having a removal of the prostate... Believe very little to no side effects in a experienced surgeon's hand

I have a PSA that has crept from 3 to 5 over the seven years since I turned 60. DRE showed asymmetrical enlargement, and bladder ultrasound showed PVR > 500 ml. I was switched from Doxazosin to Tamsulosin, and have worn a catheter for 5 weeks now, and the transrectal biopsy is still six weeks or more out, and I’m told to keep the catheter at least until biopsy. I have requested MRI before biopsy and requested a transperineal biopsy targeted at any lesions that may show in the MRI. Both requests were rejected without discussion. I’m now considering leaving the Urology department as they seem intent on scaring me into surgery, and seeking Interventional Radiology treatment called Prostate Artery Embolization. Thoughts?

Had BPH urinary symptoms (weak stream) before I chose radiation for my prostate cancer. I'm, undergoing my 44 radiation treatments and am noticing an even weaker stream of urine. My fear is becoming a reality as it seems it is getting worse to urinate, and I can only imagine what may happen. soon or even in upcoming years. I questioned my radiologist today and he said, "oh you might need a catheter" and walked away from me. I am living out my nightmare one day at a time in terror.

Thanks for this informative video! Last year my MRI showed 1.6 cm lesion with PI-RAD 5, then I had 12 core biopsy and it gave me a gleason score 6. I just had MRI again and now it shows no lesion at the same area with PI-RAD 2. Can the 2nd MRI miss it that much? I am so confuse. Wonder if I should do MRI or biopsy again. My PSA went down from 4.06 to 3.5. Appreciate any comment or someone have similar case like me!

How do I find the best prostate Dr in our specific area. that's up on the latest research lik Dr Scholz is ? Do the research institute keep any kind of a list?

Is a 4+ 3 in 2 areas of a biopsy (multiply pieces) in a 66 yr old normally a good candidate for Brachytherapy ? other areas are 3+4 and 3+3 Pet scan shows it's just in the prostate at this point but who knows if that's accurate. (Sure hoping it is). I've heard if radiation is done and cancer comes back surgery isn't an option. Does that include Brachytherapy

What did he mean by it when he said he can keep a 75 year old alive till 95 easily? 8:18 on the time spot

Alex, You might consider changing the graphic or title for this video. It implies it would just benefit those with advanced disease. This video would be helpful to anyone who receives a prostate cancer diagnosis.

This was great. I hope to see more patient conversations. So many docs mention side effects almost in passing, but living with them is a different story. I have a very supportive wife, which helps immensely. I am 53 and had prostatectomy in 2022 at 51 and salvage radiation in 2023 at 52. I have been on ADT (Lupron and Aberatiron) for a year with a year left, maybe life for lupron. When I went on this journey, I knew a lot about the side effects, but actually experiencing them was more difficult. Someone mentioned earlier that interviewing a urologist who has been through PC would be good. I agree. I'd also like to hear from a caregiver on how their life changed with their spouse. We can't forget about caregivers because they are the hidden support and make life better when dealing with PC.

Thanks for this I'll change my diet my dr hardly speaks English hard to get anything out of him I've asked this question to him his answer was continue eating way you are

At the age of 72, I took part in a study for the early detection of PCa (Stockholm 3) with the following result: PI-Rads 4, PSMA-PET negative, Gleason 8. Interesting: My PSA was 3.0 and the increase compared to earlier measurements was age-appropriate. Nevertheless, radical prostatectomy due to Gleason 8 nine months ago. Erectile function restored 14 days after surgery, incontinence very stressful for four months ( leakage of up to 1,000 ml/day), steady improvement since then. Today continent except during running training with severe tiredness. - PSA not detectable since surgery. - Because of possible long-term consequences of radiotherapy and because I didn't want hormone therapy under any circumstances, I preferred the operation. I would do it again, even if the incontinence was severe.

Is there any evidence that anaemia is present before any treatment i.e. it is indicative of prostate cancer?

Dr Scholz, I have a PIRADS 4 one lesion, PSA steady range at 4.2, doing a targeted fusion Transperineal biopsy, no transrectal for me this Monday June 24, found a great Doctor in Manhattan affiliated with Weill Cornell. He will be doing a 12 core biopsy...is this necessary? The risk of infection is almost nill with this method. Please advise

75 yr old. Original dx aug ‘21 Gl 7 4+3. EBRT caused too much pain and led to bladder cancer. Surgery & chemo took care of it. 4 weeks after chemo my wife died from a large glioblastoma. 4 weeks later I had HDR 9/17/21. 9/17/23 psa > 7 and dx stage 4 11/14/23. 1 6mo lupron shot on dx. I used RSO to go to no evidence of disease by 4/19/24.

i have a gleason of 9,,got my prostate taken out in 2013,cells started coming back in 2021,,we keep in radiating them,,C-3 C-4 L4,,..just hah radiation on C-3 & L4 but dont know if the radiation killed the cells my psa was 9.6 My doc put me on 3 months shot s of lupron and xtandi,,in 1 month it came down to 0.05,, i asked my doc if i can get a PSMA to see if the cells are dead ? he said ins probably wouldnt cover it,your psa has to rise with with the treatment you are on,,thats crazy,i may be treating nothing?Am i a candidate for Lutetium 177 PSMA..something that goes after the cells and cures them,rather than keep me on these meds that just mask it and keep the pSA down,,,thes meds have side effects that i dont like,,,DR Mark Scholz,what do u think

Psa went down to 1.7 after sabre treatment then to 1.5 but last test up to 1.6

Great ties!

Doing combo Treatment now ❤

About those side effects, mental and emotional issues should be included. Having no libido is no fun, but many of us find ourselves on an emotional roller coaster. Without testosterone, most are less aggressive, but how one feels about one's masculinity can be a major issue. Some of us cry very easily. While the above are testosterone related, I have noticed one fairly well known side effect; brain fog. I my case, I occasionally fail to put words in the proper order when speaking. Also, after being on it for 15 months, one effect I think is a direct effect of Abiraterone (Zytiga) is a loss of equilibrium. I'm not dizzy, I just can't balance without three points of contact. I'm now taking half the dose, and saw immediate improvement. Finally, please don't dismiss hot flashes as minor until you have experienced dozens of them a day. Thank you for all the videos.

Iam using duatasteride for three days and dosage of 0.5 mg and my libido is cooked not gonna lie😢

What do they mean when they say prostate intact no broad contact no focal bulge very low likelihood of ece grade on mri 0 put pirad4

Appreciate so much all your videos and the information on Prostate cancer. My husband has stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer to bones. He just finished Pluvicto. He is awaiting his follow up PSMA to see how it has helped. But I his wife had seen the discussion on terminal prostate cancer and Actinium-255 was mentioned. I could not find any information on Actinium-255 but I did find an article on Actinium-225 for prostate cancer. Could the 225 be correct and not the 255 ?? Await your response. Thanks Sandra W

Great info. Thank you. You give us so much hope.

Thank you Alex and Ben - AnCan loves you both!!!

Great post thanks - I just had PSA 6 but have zero symptoms-doctors keen to get me on medication - medication can have awful side affects - but I have no symptoms what do I do-I’m I. NZ we have few doctors I can’t actually get another doctors appointment perhaps for months.

Going into my third year after diagnosis and treatment, now on TRT and feeling great, I think of you as my "Ace in the hole" if I ever get a recurrence. Thank you so much for your expertise, and for spreading it on these video presentations.

As a survivor I add that detection of the malignancy in Prostate problem in the early stages contributes to complications that the individual ends up experiencing later. Detection and even awareness of the medical check relevant conditions is critical . Men should be aware what PSA or Gleason factor means . I initially attributed to my urine flow problems to old age until a nagging back pain at the time suspected to be a UTI condition persisted evenafter antibiotics. So medical Health systems in developing countries must improve with acquisitions of detection equipment . Treatment procedures is complicated . Most will be familiar with surgery procedure but for those who have gone through it experiences show that it's too rudimentary and attracts different deterring conditions in pain or after care . My Radiation therapy had a happy ending despite a range of side effects some which am still experiencing like crumping.

Glad for this video ! Though still do not have complete answers. I had prostatectomy surgery. My cancer was growing predominantly on one side, wedged between urethra & edge on that side. My pathology report did confirm I had the suspected 4 + 3 = 7 Gleason score off a prior Targeted biopsy (post MRI w/ contrast)...but apparently I had the intraductal (I don't believe ductal) feature....on the surgery pathology report. No doctor to date has given me a "clear" indication as to what this meant ! Still somewhat in the dark...I had a CT scan, Bone scan, cystoscopy just prior to surgery---all were ruled negative for any cancer spread. The very top of my bladder neck was also removed druing surgery. I I did have a recurrence after early salvage radiation to the prostate bed...my 1st 2 PET scans (6/2/22; 3/24)--were negative...but the 3rd one (5/24) did show a small spot in the nearby pelvic bone. Extrapolating--My PSA was at a level (by latter recent test time date) where I should have had a roughly 55% or greater chance of showing up somewhere--which it finally did...to this nearby spot. They went back to the 2nd PET scan then to compare...and though readily inconclusive---they could see where maybe something was just starting to appear. A quick Biopsy confirmed cancer. I did go back on low dose Casodex; then got a lupron shot for the first time 2 wks later. The low dose casodex by itself did appear to be readily lowering my PSA (something was)...Fyi--I was on the low dose casodex for nearly 9 mo's b4 (after which my experienced radiologist initially thought I had no presence of cancer left--7+ mo's after salvage radiation---though I also supplemented w/ lots of homeotherapy, which may have had a positive effect & fooled him. So whatever type I have,--is "apparently" responsive (to date) to both ADT & PSMA PET scans... I just went thru 5 daily radiation treatments to eliminate that spot. Virtually no side effects; so far, nothing unmanageable on ADT either. ...Fyi, I was fortunate to get over incontinence fairly quickly--though I bike & exercise a lot--which I believe was helpful. A recent genetic test has shown I have no known genetic link to prostate cancer...virtually no family cancer history any known relatives

So the order should be: (???) 1. Blood PSA 2. MRI 3. Biopsy 4. PSMA 5. Treatment options

I am 59 years old. Last year, I was diagnosed with high-grade prostatic intraductal adenocarcinoma. PSA 29, Gleason 9 (4+5) Stage 4, metastatic. The cancer spread to my back. I was given Casodex. A few weeks later, Zoladex was introduced. In July, I underwent 25 highest intensity sessions of beam therapy. In August, I began using Erleada with Zoladex. Last January, my scans revealed that the cancer had stabilized. My PSA is now at 0,1. The lymph nodes have shrunk significantly. I am very happy with this result. However, I still understand that I only have a 25% chance to survive another 4 years and a 9% chance to make it to 9 years. I am still hopeful to beat the odds and live another 10 years. The worst part has to be the ADT. I am getting every side-effect on the list. I am seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist. That said, I consider myself lucky to have a terrific supportive wife and kids. BTW, for alleviating the hot flashes, I am taking 100mg of Pristiq every morning and another 50mg in late afternoon. This has been a game changer for me. Thanks for your testimony.

Thank you👍👌 so much for Ben and Alex for these valuable informations because I am also suffering from prostrate cancer at moment.

PCRI needs to hear more from patients. We hear from doctors who really know nothing about what patients really have to deal with except what drug companies and the NARCO MEDICO CARTEL wants them to know. I want to have a doctor who has personally been on two years of ADT CASTRATION, then I might believe what he tells me.

My advice on the incontinence is to go and see a "good pelvic floor physiotherapist". Kegels are useless.

I have four Gleason seven cores. I haven't started treatment yet. Because I am terrified that when I start either treatments that I will become a full-time customer of the medical profession. I'll be on medications giving blood tests the whole gambit. Which terrifies me. Listening to stories like this gentleman what he went through and what he's going through.

I thoroughly enjoy these videos! The lady is such a great narrator. This was a very good video . I listen to all of them but this was a good one.

I just don't trust the pharmaceutical companies.

I have doubts with ADT because of all these years since 1971 when President Nixon gave almost two billion dollars to the cancer institution that there are ... STILL coming up with NEW medications!

55 year old with Gleason 3+3=6, PSA 1.8, sizes 0.1 cm and .007 cm sizes.

Dr Schultz talked about hormone treatments for prostate cancer and he says that studies recently have said that LOWERING testosterone has NO benefit combating cancer. That in fact lowering the testosterone might be worse!

Sorry but you mumbled when talking about the urethra problem you have urinating. Can you repeat what you were trying to say about what cancer will get you urinary problems?
