Hypogonadism After Prostatectomy

High PSA after surgery
Well, obviously I can't have a sex life with a Testosterone level of 38 and can't go back on the
Androgel
with a PSA of .31 and i'm still incontinent (which I will admit is not as bad as it was).

PSMA PET SCAN AND PSA
I had a disagreement with my RO today and wonder if he is right. My last PSMA PET Scan in Dec 2023 showed no progression. End January onwards I have an on off pain in the left ribcage area with an increasing frequency. To recap....PT3bN1Mx, RP in 2019, IMRT 2020 and on ADT for 30 months, currently completed

Time to PSA Nadir is related to progression-free-survival
This graph from Teoh (2014) plots the relationship between Time to PSA Nadir (months) versus Time to Progression (months) (i.e., Progression Free Survival). Cohort: ADT monotherapy (No RP or RT), all metastatic patients, median 74 y.o., GS = 8-10, N=419. A cubic spline curve fit matched the data points

Using Enzalutamide, Darolutamide, Apalutamide only.
I've seen a number of posters here and there who say they use one of the "mides" listed above with no ADT like Lupron, Eligard, Firmagan, or Orgovyx, etc. If so, did you begin that regimen after being on first level ADT for a while along with the 'mide," or did you start on the "mide" alone at the start

Studies re: PSA > 0.5% after RT
Can anyone interpret the gist of these studies? Correct me if I am wrong (and I sure hope to be) but from what I am gleaning, it seems that for those who have RT and a concurrent round of ADT: 1) Researchers and studies are showing that waiting 18 months to reach a post RT nadir isn't necessary to determine

6 Month Eligard
I got my results from PSA/PET last week, showing no metastatic activity anywhere, bones and lymph nodes clear. My last Gleason score was 4+3 in 1 sample, 3+3 in 2 more same side, but focus of intraductal cancer in 2 cores on other side. Last PSA 5.3 in February, stable between 5.0 and 5.8 last 2 years

came off all hormones completely?
Hi I have woken up in unbareable pain this morning and I have been taken off zoladex at the start of the month, and my body has been having hormones in since April 2023 and now I have nothing at all. The gyni said she was going to put me in for a MRI as the pain is in is always the same and it never

Length of Treatment for Orgovyx (Relugolix) versus Lupron and other Longer Acting ADT drugs as Adjuvant to RT or Used for IADT?
I'm curious if anyone has had any discussion with their MO or Radiation Oncologist about having to take a longer course of Orgovyx compared to Lupron or other longer acting ADT drugs because Testosterone comes back so much quicker on Orgovyx? It would seem to me, 6 months of Orgovyx is like the equivalent

Decipher Results
I now know I’m in the 10% worst category for genomic results. 20% chance of Mets in 10 years 25% chance of death in 15. Not happy. It’s out of my hands. They will ADT me then prostate bed and lymph node radiation. I guess I kinda always knew. I’m assuming someone has determined these steps are required

after iADT and recurrence: SATURN trial
Upshot. Intense short term ADT and radiation therapy for "oligorecurrence" after iADT https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0302283824000587 The reason you have to like it is that it should not require new drug development and trials etc. I wonder if it would be applicable to oligorecurrence

How to convince a GP to prescribe estradiol patches?
I've been busy with ADT for almost 5 years and one of the most insidious SE has always been hot flushes. I find them quite debilitating as, when they hit (and that's often), I'm briefly incapable to concentrate/perform any task. After reading about some of you guys experiences with estradiol patches

Chemo or no/not yet?
59 years old. Metastatic/high volume. PSA hit 366 before starting Abiraterone and Degarelix. Start Lupron next week. Negative on DNA test. Will see what PSA looks like next week after a month of ADT. My question chemo, no chemo or wait on chemo? Onco and Rad Onco both seemed to have a very soft attitude

Was there ever really a chance for a cure?
When I began the Stampede protocol 1 1/2 yrs ago, it was my understanding that two years of Zytiga/Prednisone and three years of Lupon with radiation to the pelvic area at the 7 mo - 1 yr mark gave a chance for a "cure" under my conditions (3+4 gleason, etc). Now, my non-medical view of things is convincing

Brain Fog or Dimentia?
Hey warriors! So how do you know if you have brain fog or the beginning of dementia? Is it possible to blame ADT and Zytiga? My husband has been on Ellegaard for five years and Zytiga for 2 1/2. Years, he seems to have a lot of memory issues lately, and I fear it’s only getting worse Any thoughts or
