Effect of low endogenous testosterone
PSA now at 7.9. Biopsy showed 1 sample was Gleason 8. Starting ADT and radiation soon. Have had low testosterone (<150 ng/ml) most of my life. Non-existent libido, depression and tired most of the time. Recent studies have shown that aggressive prostate cancer more common in people with low testosterone

Vacation time again
I had the follow up appt with my MO. My PSA is down a notch to 0.2. We decided to follow the original plan of intermittent ADT and I’m starting another ADT vacation. This round of ADT had started with minimal SE’s but in the last month or so it’s gotten worse. My energy level has noticeably decreased

ART ASCO GU 2023: Testosterone Recovery Following Androgen Suppression and Prostate Radiotherapy (TRANSPORT)
There are many studies that show TET recovery for men treated with RT and ADT. Most show delay is correlated to the time spent under ADT treatment. I have seen some posts that purport 5 year [u]average timeframes[/u]; this appeared excessive. This study provides better data and timeframes that are

thoughts on virtual second opinions
Hi all,My dad was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer about 5 weeks ago. He is 65 years old. His current MO has him on a zoladex injection and next ADT has yet to be added. I was looking into getting a second opinion at MD Anderson, Mayo and Sloan Kettering. I noticed that all offered

Cardio performance abrupt decline
Currently on Orgovyx for the last 18 months with very little side effects due to wrestling, lifting weights and hiking. Then suddenly four days ago, only a block from the beginning of my daily 2.5 mile hike my energy unexpectedly ran out. I pushed forward another block assuming I could shake off whatever

First psa test was 0.1, month later psa 0.8 month later psa 0.22 Psa remained at 0.22 for next 3 months.My urologist who did RP said it could be "reactive lymph nodes". A CT scan and bone scan revealed nothing

Is there hope? I’m dreading asking the question of “how long”…
My father was diagnosed in September ‘23 with a PSA in the 900s. It had already metastasized throughout his body in several parts of his bones (ribs, spine, hips, femur and a spot at the base of his skull) but no organs had been affected other than his prostate. We were hopeful when it began to climb

RO Advice for Salvage Rad
One of the ROs I've had a consult with wants to do salvage rad soon (Post-RP PSA is north of 0.1). However, he wants do the SRT w/o ADT. His rationale is that if we do ADT concurrently, there's no way to tell if the SRT was working. Plus, he says that if the SRT fails, then I'll be in the same boat

PC drugs and Kidney Disease
My husband has kidney disease and I am wondering if any of you out that may also have kidney disease may know of any drugs we need to avoid regarding ADT? And/Or procedures? Thank you!

Semaglutide et al
I have never been obese (BMI >=30) but I have certainly been overweight (BMI>=25). There are many PCa papers associating "obesity" with poor survival. BMI is a surrogate for visceral adiposity (not always very accurate). Mortality risk with a BMI of 29 is presumably not much different than for a BMI
