Eligard

My PSA keep rising. Today, PSA went up to 2.25.1 from 1.1 (March). Doctor told me that he never had a patient Eligard does not work at all at the beginning. He asked me to go thru with PSMA scan and start to take Xtandi. He said there is a possibility I may also go thru with a testicle removal surgery. Is there anybody who has similar experience? Last night, BTW, I started using Estrogen Gel without telling the MO, hoping this m ay be a small help. It is a nightmare...... do I need to change a doctor or hospital. I am treated in a New York univ. hospital cancer center.

If Eligard does not work I would try Orgovyx instead.

What are your testosterone test results?If you are reaching castrate levels of T, then switch ADT would not help. You probably need to add a second line hormonal; zytiga or Xtandi.

I do not know the exact number of testosterone. But it could be a little more than 130.

Doctoir said that the T level is way too high and Eligard does not work to lower the number.

Then try Orgovyx, it is a very effective drug which lowers T quickly: orgovyx.com/

Eligard "works" if your testosterone is at castration level. It sounds like you are becoming castration-resistant. Consider adding apalutamide or enzalutamide.
