Editor’s Pick: One Gent rechallenges Pluvicto… another follows rechallenge with a ‘triplet’.
Topics Discussed
Addressing recurrence after focal tx (IRE) 10 yrs ago; new GU MO in northern New Jersey; how much adjuvant doublet HT is needed; another treatment line with triplet… abi+carbo+docetaxel; blood thinners; rechallenging Pluvicto is largely well tolerated; look at blood count numbers as a whole; nutrition… how about chicken?; how far ahead of RT should adjuvant HT start?

Jim Marshall, Veteran, Alexandria, VA sent: 6:26 PM Abi can affect the QT & QTc elongation time which I have when I get a EKG. Am also on Pradaxa for AFib. Pradaxa =. Dabigatran Etexilate

Jeff Marchi – San Francisco sent: 6:59 PM chicken articles from National Cancer institute and NIH
Richard B, Silver Spring, MD sent: 7:02 PM I need to step away for the evening. Thanks to everyone for their insightful commentary it was beneficial . Take care
Bruce Schrimpf sent: 7:06 PM I have gotten all sorts of information about chicken and chicken eggs. It has more to do with how the chicken is grown and prepared. I eat my eggs poached, never fried. I eat my chicken baked and hopefully raised without antibiotics or growth hormones. I love fried and broasted (pressurized deep frying) but almost ever eat it. BDS
Alfredo in Wimberley sent: 7:09 PM Thank You. and Good Night!
Gay or bisexual men diagnosed with prostate cancer have particular concerns. Addressing them with your peers is far easier!
AnCan Foundation, the innovator of virtual support groups, addresses special interests in special groups. We gather peers who easily relate and can support each other. Moderated by Gay & Bisexual peers with prostate cancer, this group addresses your specific questions. Our moderators are both technically expert and supportive. The group is open to all levels of prostate cancer, no matter where you are in your journey. AnCan offers specific prostate cancer groups at all levels. This group will focus on gay and bisexual issues less comfortable to raise in open groups rather than treatment questions.
This is a make-up meeting; moving forward, meetings will be on the 2nd Tuesdays of every month at 5:30 pm Eastern/4:30 pm Central/3:30 pm Mountain/2:30 pm Pacific, always in the AnCan Schmier Room.

Editor’s Pick: Hiding in plain sight, a new tumor docs failed to mention. (bn)
Topics Discussed
Upcoming AnCan group; newly diagnosed with a spot on his spine — consider zapping both prostate and tumor; what’s happening with Medicare and telehealth?; a Pluvicto update after his first treatment; after focal therapy, docs kept quiet about a new tumor, and it may now be escaping the prostate; lots of metastasis, PSA in the thousands, but he got doublet therapy, not triplet; a 0.04 PSA rise isn’t worrisome; he’s offered Clomid to raise testosterone (why not just take testosterone?); massive sweating spells that far exceed hot flashes; prior mastectomy complicates planned radiation for sore nipples; thanks to John Maxwell for giving AnCan the proceeds of his poetry collection during September; great experience from Dr. Guercio in Rochester; ready to shift his care to a top NYC hospital.
