Symptoms when ADT no longer works?
Hello, everyone! I have begun year two of stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer and I have BRCA2. Taking abiraterone + prednisone daily and Lupron shots twice a year. I am doing my best to live one day at a time but wonder what things will look like when the cancer becomes resistant. Does anybody know?

Lynparza - warning!
I'm writing this in pure agony in hopes, that it might help someone in the future. My father is castrate resistant and when Xtandi stopped working, his MO put him on dexamethasone + abiraterone + Lynparza (olaparib). This combo is now registered in European Union even for men without BRCA mutation

Lancet: Adding Avadart to Active Surveillance significantly statistically improved outcomes. 18% had cancer disappear on follow up ct scans.
No other drug but Avadart / finasteride can make that claim -- certainly not
ADT
... which mutates the cancer to crpc. Avadart has no significant side effects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g0m8ATOLaM

Update and Question: Issues with HealthUnlocked emails going to Junk Mail
i finished 28 sessions of IMRT on 1/24 and feel great except for the side effects of
ADT
. My last PSA in January was 0.2 (down from 34 when I started treatment last May 2022). Next PSA is next week so I’m getting the usual anxiety.

Neuroendocrine and PSA
Debating on whether to start SRT +

Hormonal treatment for Endometriosis
I had an appointment with a specialist recently and I expressed the desire to have diagnostic laparoscopy for endometriosis. The specialist recommended that I try taking hormones in the meantime to see if that helps with pain management. He said that by taking hormones I could control my period and choose
