Your friend has prostate cancer and chemo. Trying weed gummies with CBD may not be safe. It could react badly with his medications. Before using new sleep aids, it's smart to talk to his oncologist first. The doctor knows better options that are safer and can help him sleep.

My grandfather has prostate cancer that has spread to many parts of his body, he has had difficulty eating, usually only drinking water or yogurt but now he can't even open his eyes, he has been on morphine for a while, the doctors think it is the kidney, he makes a weird noice from the throat when breathing
Male | 87
Aching in multiple parts of the body due to which eating and breathing are likely to be difficult for sheriffs is a condition caused by cancerous cells spreading to the prostate. The kidney also faces the same fate. The strange sound he makes while breathing comes from the throat problems caused by the cancer. He might be requiring additional care and support to ensure his well-being.

Hello Sir I have been detected with metastatic prostate cancer with advanced at lymph nodes. As of now in medication with Enzalutamide and Degarelix Injection.
Male | 48
You have metastatic prostate cancer, which has spread to the lymph nodes. This can cause symptoms like difficulty urinating, bone pain, and fatigue. Medications like Enzalutamide and Degarelix Injection can slow the growth of cancer cells and help manage these symptoms. It's important to follow your oncologist's instructions carefully and attend all appointments to monitor your progress.

sir i have prostate problem since 4 years last month i checked my PSA it has 12,4 then do MP MRI and Biopsy result Grad 3+3 = 6 then doctor advice to robotic operation.
Male | 65
You may experience trouble when urinating. Blood presence in urine could occur. An elevated PSA reading, like 12.4, signals potential concerns. Your results of the MRI scan plus biopsy indicate Grade 6. This reflects moderate risk factor. Robotic surgery option exists to remove affected areas. Following doctor's recommendations closely is crucial for optimal outcome.

I am the prostrate cancer patient ,on 2016 done the Radiatipn & Horman therapy Now my Psa raise to 3..so need the next openipn
Male | 62
If your PSA level has risen after previous treatments for prostate cancer,Plz consult with the best oncology hospital in India or your urologist. An increase in PSA levels may indicate a recurrence or progression of the cancer. The next steps will depend on your health, the extent of the cancer, and the treatments you've already received..

Hello, I am experiencing some symptoms of Prostate Cancer. Is there any way to check if you have prostate cancer or not without visiting a hospital?
Consulting a clinician and getting thoroughly evaluated is the right way to get yourself diagnosed and treated. Just searching, reading and trying to match your symptoms to a particular disease will lead to unnecessary stress, anxiety and delay in treatment. So please get examined by Urology Consultation doctors in Mumbai, or any city of convenience, and if some pathology is detected then get treated.

we have to do pet psma scan for and male of age 81 years so all details regaridng it
Male | 81
Prostate-specific membrane antigen scan is used to evaluate prostate cancer by finding out if this cancer has metastasized. This kind of scan gives the doctors the ability to see if cancer has begun to spread. In elderly men, with examples such as an 81-year-old male, prostate cancer is quite common. Its symptoms may include painful urination or blood in urine. The scan can define the treatment approach best. It's harmless, and that's why it is recommended to gather enough information about malignancy to guide the patient's treatment.

My father is suffering with prostate cancer. His psa levels reached 5400. We r taking keemo medicines engzima tablets sugusted by doctor .since 6 months . His age 69. From last month he is not able to walk. Can u suggest me to overcome his pain.
Male | Gangaiah
A PSA level of 5400 is very high. This means the cancer is spreading to other parts of the body. It may cause pain and make it hard for your dad to walk. Work with your dad's doctor to help manage his pain. An oncologist can give strong pain medicine. They can also suggest physical therapy to help your dad move better and feel more comfortable. This will help your dad get the best care possible.

At age 57 is a PSA value result of 0.88 considered bad
Male | 57
Generally, when a person is 57 years old, a PSA level of 0.88 is considered normal. The abbreviation "PSA" stands for prostate-specific antigen. The prostate gland in men can become inflamed or enlarged at times. These can cause the PSA levels to rise. A PSA result of 0.88 is typically low, suggesting a lower chance of prostate problems. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination or pain, it is recommended that you seek further advice from a medical professional.

I have prostate from past 5 years and recent PSA is 3.87 and I did it again after 1 week it is 3.92 Whether I should plan operation or not? What to do?
Male | 64
A PSA level of 3.87 to 3.92 is a little high, but not too high. It's good that you are keeping an eye on it. Prostate enlargement is due to many reasons, but not all cases are treated with surgery. You should keep checking with your oncologist and follow the monitoring of your PSA levels to decide what is best for you.

What does a psa of .05 mean six weeks after prostate removal mean
Male | 54
A PSA of 0.05 six weeks after the prostate has been removed - this is good. It is not uncommon during the recovery period following an operation that the PSA levels are quite low. This tells us that the prostate was removed. The PSA values regularly need to be measured to check that they are within the norm. Low PSA levels following the surgery are the ones that suggest the cancer has been successfully eliminated.
