You guys are an awesome resource in the prostate cancer community!

Bless both of you and the education you provide. ❤

Just diagnosed with 4+3 intraductal carc both sides of base in prostate,. 26 PSA, but PSMA PET scan shows cancer is localized in Prostate. Initial biopsy path results at local clinic did not identify IDC-P, went for 2nd opinion at Univ of Chicago Med and their path folks found the IDC-P. Poorer prognosis for IDC-P, a more aggressive variant, but the newer treatment options give me hope of extended life, especially with localized containment. A friend in east TN suggested a novel treatment of bee stings. Fascinating...LOL!! Ready to go to war!! Do not go gentle into that good night!!

I'm stage 4 metastatic PC for over 4 years...Had 9 rounds of chemo, 88 proton beam therapy radiation treatments (68 on prostate and 20 on "hot spots")...Lupron the entire 4 years....Then (at my request) I was given high doses of testosterone (400mg) every 28 days along with the Lupron and Prolia (every 6 months) for bones....When I received the testosterone my PSA was around 7-8....Almost instantly I actually felt like a man again...Libido returned along with energy....But my PSA started rising...after 7 months of the testosterone shots my PSA was 124...My Oncologist stopped the T shots....after a month psa was 60...Due for labs next week....My T levels are almost undetectable...I'm 85 years old and now without any testosterone there's really nothing to look forward to ....I'm going to ask for at least some testosterone cream...So far I have no bone pain so Lu177 is probably on the back burner for a while....IMO a man cannot feel like a man without Testosterone....Too bad it feeds the cancer...

Yeah, this testosterone issue is quite a irony because they don't show any indications that testosterone itself starts the cancer but if it metastasize is it definitely feeds the cancer very weird I'm not sure what I would do at 85. It's not easy for me to say at 85 I might wanna feel like a man more than be alive so I'd probably just keep doing the testosterone not because I want to have sex or whatever just because like you said without it you're just existing but I don't know what I would do. That's a difficult decision not easy to say.

I am very grateful for your work. Just one of your videos has potentially changed the course of my life (medically). I was diagnosed with a high grade cancer and the urologist scheduled me for the standard CT and bone scans. Because of your video on the PSMA PET scan, I asked for that instead. ThePSMA PET scan picked up a tiny particle of prostate cancer in a lymph node close to my prostate. It was small enough that it would not have been seen on a CT scan. Thus, because of your video educating me, a more appropriate course of treatment was put into place.

Same here. 2 very small spots on lower left lymph nodes and seminal vesicle involvement. My urologist told me if they can spot radiate those two small lymph nodes spot, complete 6 week radiation and 18-24 mo. hormone therapy there's a good chance my treatment can be curative. I had a decipher test after my biopsy that showed my cancer is at the low end of intermediate/unfavorable (.46 on 1-10 scale) which means my cancer is not highly aggressive even though it's a 4+3 Gleason and has managed to get outside my prostate. Medicare pays for the decipher genome test which is about $5K.

Thank you Dr Scholz and Alex. You are doing amazing work!! To: Anyone who may be able to help, I am a 65 y/o, (active and otherwise very healthy male) who had a radical prostatectomy 12 years ago- and after being undetectable for yeas I had a PSA of 1.44 in 2022 and then measuring 8.53 on 1/4/24 and6.97 on 01/12/24. With very recent Pet/CT and MRI, 2 small lesions were found.(the larger of the 2 is a 0.8 cm restricting and enhancing lesion within the right side of the prostatectomy bed adjacent to the anterolateral aspect of the rectum) I believe proton therapy would be appropriate treatment as opposed to photon radiation and intermittent hormone therapy (following an initial long period) if the PSA becomes and continues to be undetectable instead of 2 years of continuous hormone therapy.

The outrageously expensive costs of patent drugs are preventing some patients from getting optimum treatment. However, once these drugs become generic, many more patients can benefit.

Great video. Can you go deeper into safety for caregivers taking care of an elderly family member living with them that will receive Lu-177(Pluvicto). The precautions they give caregivers to take after treatment seems impossible to take care of a love one that is elderly that receives Pluvicto. Example: Stay 3 feet away for a couple of days, use different bathrooms, have them sit in the back seat when leaving treatment day. How can you care for them using these precautions? What about someone that only has one bathroom in their home? If someone sits in a seat they just sat on, is a danger. Does that person leave behind radiation on things they touch that can expose others? If yes, what removes this from surfaces. What if the elderly person has diarrhea from the radiation, how does the caregiver clean up the area safely and does radiation stay behind in that area? Sorry if these are stupid question. Why stay away from children and pregnant women longer days than other people? Does radiation exposure not cause risk to non pregnant adults the same amount of days.

@FightingProstateCancer

4 ай бұрын

I don't have an experience with Pluvicto. But the Pluvicto's Radiation safety says that "It’s fine to be in close contact with another person for a short period of time (such as a brief hug)." So I don't think that using the same bathroom should be a problem. It should not be a danger if someone sits in a seat they just sat on. If the elderly person has a diarrhea then you should use gloves. Same with urine. Try to follow the guidelines as best as you can. If that would be a problem then there are also protective "hazmat suites" but that would probably be too much and they are quite expensive. Problem would be if you, as a caregiver, would be pregnant. Then you would have to find someone else who would take care of the family member. Children are more vulnerable that's why the longer days. Same applies to pregnant women - they have a new child inside. Radiation could damage the children. You may also ask if increased iodine intake would help you.

It’s really hard because the doctor office hands you a paper with extremely strict precautions, but then you ask them how to keep those precautions as a caregiver and the answer is “everything will be fine”. We will take care of dad no matter what, but I wish we had real facts on the effect on an adult’s body as caregivers. Mostly when we will be more then brief contact right after treatment helping him walk to car and getting in the car. Or maybe, it’s just that they don’t know because it hasn’t been studied.

The safety measures are mainly for the first days after the application of Pluvicto because of the half-life of the Lutetium and because many of the Lutetium will not be bound by the body and simply will be excreted, mainly by urine. There is a study "External radiation exposure, excretion, and effective half-life in 177Lu-PSMA-targeted therapies" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5897276/ It says that after 12 hours, approx. 70 % of adminstered activity were excreted, primarily via urine. The average half-life was 40.5 ± 9.6 hours. So it means that after 40.5 ± 9.6 hours the remaining radiation was halved, after 81 ± 19.2 hours the remaining radiation was at the quarter of the initial radiation, ... and so on. You search the exposure to caregivers. The study says: "The safety of 177Lu PSMA administration to staff and caregivers was also emphasized in the previously cited study by Demir et al. The authors measured radiation doses delivered both to administering staff and family in 23 patients and found that the mean dose rate at 1 m after 4 and 6 h was 23 ± 6 μSv/h and 15 ± 4 μSv/h, respectively. They also found that the mean dose received by close family members was 202 ± 43 μSv, measured for 5 days post-injection with an optically stimulated luminescence dosimeter. " Link to the study "Evaluation of radiation safety in 177Lu-PSMA therapy and development of outpatient treatment protocol": iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0952-4746/36/2/269 Radiation exposure is measured in micro-Sieverts [µSv] - here are examples for context: ------ 10 µSv - Average daily dose received from natural background 20 µSv - Chest X-ray 40 µSv - A 5-hour airplane flight 600 µSv - mammogram 1 000 µSv - Dose limit for individual members of the public, total effective dose per annum 3 650 µSv - Average yearly dose received from natural background 5 800 µSv - Chest CT scan Source: www.nuclear-power.com/nuclear-engineering/radiation-protection/equivalent-dose/sievert-unit-of-equivalent-dose/sievert-gray-becquerel-conversion-calculation/ ----- So it means that the average dose rate at 1 meter distance after 4 hours was 23 ± 6 μSv per hour. Which is like 1.15 ± 0.3 chest X-rays every hour. After 6 hours it was 15 ± 4 μSv per hour. And after 5 days the average dose received by close family members was 202 ± 43 μSv, which is like 10 ± 2 chest X-rays or 1/3 of mammogram. Read please short article "Three principles for radiation safety: time, distance, and shielding" www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6037814/ Even though it's about different type of exposure (C-arm fluoroscopy), it's useful. Mainly the end where the author compares the three principles and emphasizes the distance as a shield against radiation - The distance principle. Quote: "... However, if a pain physician stands double the distance from a radiation source, his radiation exposure will reduce to 1/4" As for the iodine intake. Maybe it would suffice to eat more fish, seafood, tuna, ..., or increase the intake of iodised salt instead of iodine tablets. I don't know this. @@salsamink

It’s my understanding that a patient with a pace maker would not be suitable for a PSMA PET scan. Is this true.

When a PSMA indicates Metastasis in a few lymph nodes and the prostate... YET follow up biopsies/pathology results of prostate and lymph nodes are ALL benign. This is my case. How can this be?? My urologist has decided to put me on a "Wait & See" tracking the PSA for several months. This scares me.... Is this correct?

My boyfriend has metastatic prostate cancer. He's in clinical trials now but was not selected to take the Pluvitco, so he's been on the standard radiation (3rd time).

Stage 4 ? Metastatic ? What area in your body , I am only 4 months into this journey but my goal is remission. Let's share. Peace to you.

As always, extremely helpful. I just finished my Pluvicto/Lutetium treatment and my metastatic cancer is significantly reduced with no new foci or any additional growths since treatment began in April. PSA is .7 down from 525 in March, '23.

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

Hey, I've got an idea. How about not eating inflammatory foods? Sugars, carbohydrates, seed oils (canola, corn, soy, etc.) all cause inflammation. I'm 75. Two years ago I was 40-pounds overweight, pre-diabetic, arthritic, had high blood pressure, gum disease, brain fog, difficulty urinating, and on and on. Then I quit the inflammatory Standard American Diet and switched to eating the Carnivore diet. In these two years ALL my maladies have reversed and gone away. I'm now healthy, have no diagnoses, and take no pills. I drive with confidence with no brain fog. This Carnivore way of eating has saved my life. I'll never go back to eating those nasty sugars and carbs and plants in any form.

Yes. Stage 4. Metastatic. To the lymph nodes in the pelvis,abdomen and the supraclavicular. Also to the bones. Fortunately the lungs & liver were spared. Gleason score was 3+4. The last PSMA pet scan showed no significant nodes or bony mets. PSA steady at 0.04 since 4 months. Prostate 27cc. My question was how long does Abiraterone & Lupron continue.
