I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2016. It has been contained in the prostate ever since. For 3 years I treated myself with vitamins and nutrients. Kept my psa down until I had a kidney stone operation and for some odd ball reason loss control of the psa after the operation, it shot up to 103, thats when I was put on casadex. Casadex dropped the psa to 5. After 3 years the psa started rising again. I was then put on Orgovyx, that did not stop psa from rising. I was then put on monthly injections of lupron, the psa was 25. Lupron dropped the psa to 10. I have been on lupron for 4 monthly injections. My PSA keeps rising, last psa test was 28 last month, guess I'm castrate resistant now. Doc wants to put me on nebaqu ( think it is spelled that way) anyway I am very hesitant to take it due to causing heart attacks and blood vessal problems. I have an abdominal Anerysm now and do not trust taking that med. Since the lupron is not working what should I tell doc I would like to try to reduce psa. I have read about different meds that were being taken with lupron to reduce psa. I'm getting ready to discuss. Proton Beam Therapy which I will do as soon as approved. The cancer is still contained in my prostate according to last Pet Scan last month. No I will not have it removed knowing what I know about recurrance. I tried Orgovyx after casadex started rising psa, was on casadex for 3 years about, until psa stated rising, then was put on Orgovyx, Orgovyx did not stop psa from rising so Doc put me on monthly lupron injections, then lupron has stopped working to reduce psa. What is my next step?
I have read many stories on here about different treatments that worked for awhile. Thanks for all the great discussions so far. Hopenthisnall makes sense, brain fog on this lupron is very disturbing.
