Weird ADT Side Effects
I have some of the predicted SE’s of ADT: loss of libido & loss of body hair. My testicles are more like two little peas in a pod now. ED meds are helping in that department. Hair loss has all been below the neck. My sister used to tell me I could win the “harriest legs contest”! Not anymore!

Simultaneous vs Sequential Rad and ADT
I'm trying to find out whether or not simultaneous rad and ADT is efficacious. Most people seem to feel that there is a synergistic effect to having rad and ADT at the same time, but I can't seem to find the mechanism for how that synergy occurs. I have a hunch that it doesn't really exist, or if

I didn't want to write this maybe because I won't have to admit it until I wrote it down - but I owe it to you guys. So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my PSA was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my PSA started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed

HELP! Firmagon reaction?
Hi - yesterday I had my 3rd monthly (80mg) injection of Firmagon. For all my previous injections, including the 2 initial loading doses, I did not have any major side effects, just some minimal soreness at the injection site which resolved in less than 2 days. Yesterday's injection was a little bit

Bloodwork after 4 weeks of SRT and 6 weeks of ADT
I started ADT 6 weeks ago and SRT 4 weeks ago. I just got my bloodwork back. My PSA went from .373 prior to treatment to .148. Is this where I should be at after these many weeks of treatment. Thank you for your answer in advance

PSA down but mets increasing?
I've been on ADT + Xtandi for about a year (see my Bio for details) and my PSA has been slowly and steadily reducing over that time - now down to 0.05. However, my 3 CT scans (last August, December and last month) are showing a slight increase each time in the size of my lymph node mets and the bone

How long does this process take?
My 2nd post and still full of questions, would like to hear from everyone. Regarding my specific case: I was told I have to do 6 months of ADT and appx 28-30 rounds of EBRT. Of course, I still don't have my PSMA/PET scan results back yet, but I'm assuming the best case scenario. Still trying to make

Should I fight for Darolutamide ?
Thank you all so far for your advice, I am here again for some more. After RT in a metastastic LN last year, I am again with a PSA 2.0, with a bunch of small LNs showing in the PET. RO gave up. I will start ADT again, this time with a 2nd generation added. I will restart Zoladex, and MO is adding Enzalutamide

Taurine and ADT weight gain
One thing that many PCa endurers see occurring despite their best efforts is weight gain while on ADT. Does the community have any info on whether taurine can help, in conjunction with lots of exercise? I found a couple articles that it might.

How much exercise needed?
I know everybody’s body differs but … still I’d like some guidelines. Until a couple years ago I was pretty fit, running most days, going to gym 2x per week but then started having hip pain. I would’ve replaced hip but got Dx with PCa 6 months ago and so have postponed that. I’ve had HDR Brachy and

Seasonal Dose Change of Thyroid Meds
Hi If you have to adjust your meds (reduce) when the summer heats up, how do you know you need to do it? How does it make you feel? I'm struggling to make headway here. Given my last blood results on Armour Thyroid, I needed to increase my dose. So I did. I crept up 1/8th at a time to 2 + 3/8 grains

New to this: travel during ADT & post EBRT?
New to this group and the Dx took me by complete surprise. I'm 76 and in excellent health - or so I thought! - and now [i]this[/i] happens. PSA between 7 and 8 over the past year, wait and see. April PSA was 7.4 and DRE indicated a mass. MRI, biopsy followed, showing Gleason 4=3=7, Stage IIC. Did another

Second Gen ADT Drug Issues
Dont remember seeing this on here yet. I guess one weighs increased risk of dementia vs stopping PC. Wouldnt want to be in that position. I remember back before my SRT went on Bicalutamide for one month before SRT started and then stopped when I read that is also linked to dementia. Crap. https://www.urologytimes.com

Help with compounding ingredients
Considering having NDT compounded, to not have lactose & as few ingredients as possible. We do not have a lactose,-free levothyroxine in Canada. And I know Thyroid S has lactose. The pharmacist has asked me about cellulose as the filler, and how I do on that. I have no clue & when researching it comes

Prednisone side effects
I've been on Lupron/Abi/Pred for about 13 months. Never had high blood pressure prior to this ADT treatment. Was warned that high BP was one of the primary side effects of my treatment plan. Pretty quickly, I developed elevated BP and I am on 50mg of Losartan daily. 25mg wasn't enough. I am also
