orchidectomy/orchiectomy

[Bridgefeast]

Has anyone had a bi-lateral orchidectomy with no prescribed medications? If so, what happened to your PSA? Thanks

I had orchiectomy and PSA went down until I became castrate resistant.

Oh brilliant. Thanks for replying.

Hi, I had a bilateral orchidectomy 12 months ago, no medications since. PSA still currently undetectable. (<0.05).

Thank you for replying. Very encouraging.

After being diagnosed with prostate cancer with metastasis to a local lymph node I chose bilateral orchiectomy. The surgery was March of 2021 and the PSA dropped to a nadir of 0.43 (from 248 at diagnosis) about a year later. It has since begun to rise and is now 1.54. I have used no meds since the surgery. My oncologist and I agree that at this point there is no need to begin androgen receptor antagonists though that will likely change within the next year.

Thank you. Wow that was a very high PSA.

I started a post on this a while ago.

Stop!!! You're making me hungry.

Rocky Mountain oysters or mountain oysters, or meat balls, also known as prairie oysters in Canada (French: animelles).

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
