Hair regrowth while on Zytiga

[ucladany]

My last PSA test came back at 0.102 in July. Lately I have noticed that the hair on my chest seems to be growing back. Does that mean that Zytiga has stopped working? Guess that I will find out from my next PSA test in October. Any thoughts?

[Magnus1964]

I got that with the hair on my arms.

[ucladany in reply to Magnus1964]

Is Zytiga still working?

[Magnus1964 in reply to ucladany]

Zytiga worked for 3 1/2 years. I am now on xtandi and my PSA is rising and my arm hair is coming back.

[AlanMeyer]

Since testosterone triggers the growth of body hair at the time of puberty, and since Zytiga suppresses the synthesis of testosterone, then just to be on the safe side, maybe you should ask to have your testosterone level tested at the same time as your next PSA test.

Just curious, are you taking anything else...Lupron etc? I went off Lupron after one year and are only on Zytiga. Retest in November. PSA was undetectable in August.

[ucladany]

Lupron, Prednisone and Zytiga for25 months.

Hair hair the hairs all here, what the hell do we care NOW....

If I get my chest hair back it's gonna look weird on my man boobs...Maybe I can get a job in the circus.... "Come see the Handsome man with hairy tits"....

(the handsome part is optional)

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Funny, I bet you have nightmares about that. My speedo pics might divert your attention to a wonderful dream of pure ecstacy. 🤠🍸🍸

[j-o-h-n in reply to Drphil1938]

You're tempting me..... but I think I'd rather be poked in my eye with a stick... (maybe both eyes)...

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Your loss my friend, you could use the pics to torment your ex-wife.🤠🍸🍸

[j-o-h-n in reply to Drphil1938]

Never thought of that......but the only things that would really torment her are either sunlight, garlic, and a cross just like Dracula.............

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Hmmm, never lost any hair with Zytiga for almost a year, but my first Taxotere got most of it in first week!

[larry_dammit]

Only in my dreams 🤪🤪🤪 no hair under my arm pits, eye brows or my beloved mustache 😢😢😢. Just fuss. On Xtandi , eligard and Xgeva. Oh well should t complain on the right side of the grass.

[leo2634]

No hair under arms, chest hair all but gone, eyebrows and mustache still there but very light, man boobs and a jelly gut. Wow I have a great idea we should all start a 2020 APC Calendar.

By the way not complaining I'm still alive and that's a great trade off.

Zytiga, Eligard, Xgeva, Provenge infusions. 20 months 0.1 PSA.

[Frank48photo]

One year on Zytiga ,prednisone with Lupron every six months. Light hair on arms none on legs and underarms almost gone. Eyebrows still there but do agree with leo2634 Still Alive and loving the undetectable PSA. Hate that jelly guy! Good luck!

Lol...I’ve been on ADT for 2 years and I’ve been taking Erleada for 18 months and the bald spot on the back of my head is no more...hair actually grew back...but body hair is definitely stunted...probably grows at 20% of the rate it used to. All of these drugs have weird side effects..

[Muffin2019]

Been on lupron for almost 2 years and the hair is grown back on my arms lightly and my head and pubic but not as thick, no chest hair or leg hair grew back.

[Joes-dad]

As Alan suggested, it would be a good idea to have a testosterone test added to your next blood test.

I'm on similar drugs as you and my arm hair seems to be growing back some but my T-level is still <7 so I'm not worried.

You maybe fine too

Been on Firmagon and Casodex for 5 years and still undetectable but never really lost body hair except for most of chest and under arms. I thought the same thing before my recent psa test as I kept noticing more leg hair but PSA still undetectable...When you have a PSA upcoming text we get nervous and the brain plays games on you....

[Tommyj2 in reply to poofers]

Curious about how many men have noticed better hair growth on their scalps as this SHOULD be the one _good_ side effect of ADT... less testosterone... less conversion to DHT which is responsible for stunting hair follicles.... How about you?
