Hi !
As you can see in my profile I’m fairly new on this wonderful community and I’m also a prostate cancer patient living in Sweden.
My treatment journey is a little bit different then most locally advanced prostate cancer patients and therefore I’m curious from others experience from time of diagnosis, curative treatments, treatments to suppress the cancer (ADT, 2nd gen treatments), studies that you have participated in, combination of studies and etc.
Of course it’s very interesting to see how everything is working out, pros and cons and perhaps how people handle long periods (maybe 2-3 years) of routine checkups to see if you are in total remission, potentially even Cure and also the time after long periods of ADT or/and combination therapies to still have long periods to know if you’re in the clear or not.
Locally advanced prostate cancer and also advanced prostate cancer in my own personal opinion is a extremly vague diagnoses as it spans from cure, long remission to high rates of recurrence and for me this is really a rollercoaster.
Hope to have some good inspirational dialogues and of course, EVERBODY is very welcome in this discussion because everybody have a story to tell and to learn
Best wishes - Ulf
Hi !
As you understand I’m always interested in new trials and found this new radioligand / radiation directed therapy, also of course in the early stages but, still really promising.

Also found this study and it’s interesting. With the introduction of PSMA Pet Scan more cases of locally advanced TxN1M0 is identified and this is the first study I’ve seen adding LU-177 to a standard treatment pathway

Thanks for these Ulf. The trial Cu radioligand looks promising for a range of men and seems to be giving remarkable results. One for my library.
Hi !
Adding an interesting link that investigates PSA levels after radiation, no ADT, short term and long term ADT
Best wishes - Ulf
