Triplet and now Radiation?
Original PSA was around 9 and put on
Casodex
for month, then Lupron every 3 months, plus Darolutamide. Just completed 6 sessions of chemo with Docetaxel. Got call from RO yesterday and they want to do radiation now. Of course I trust my medical team but curious of HU opinions on this path.

Orgovyx + Abiaterone?
(On
Casodex
to avoid initial T flare.) Wants to make sure doing ok on this ADT and then add Abiaterone. RT in 2 months. MO said that Orgovyx + Abiaterone is not an option by NCCN guidelines, could be interaction issues (paraphrasing).

Battling two cancers on two fronts, simultaneously
After lupron/lusinipril for years, I began
Casodex
. Bad reaction, switched to Zytiga. That affected my liver enzymes, so on to Xtandi. It worked well. So, this last August a lump was found under my jaw at the lymph node. This was confirmed as Neuroendocrine PCa.

casodex
Aug 17 - started lupron 3 mth Had my first blood work done yesterday (Oct 5) and PSA is now at 0.56. Was over 9 in June. So, I kind of feel good in knowing that as expected the meds are working and lowering PSA.

What’s the pros and cons of Casodex and Lupron as the only treatment for Gleason 4+5 (9).
August 1, 2023 the doctor started me on
Casodex
, in one week and my PSA went from 100 down to 50. I get my PSA checked this Thursday August 31st and a 3 month dose/injection of Lupron. My question is, will
Casodex
and Lupron kill the PC cancer? How long will I have to take these drugs?

11 days after 1st Lupron jab-no side effects
No
Casodex
. No flare. When I went for the jab my PSA was 10.6 and my T-level was 354. I'm wondering if this is normal.

My PSA tripled in 8 months
I had my RP in Jan 31, 2023, started hormonal therapy from April 17 with Diphereline every 28 days plus one
Casodex
daily. My PSA went down to 0.005 from May to November. Yesterday I had my blood test again and the report indicated my PSA has jumped to 0.159. I am panic.

PSA analysis 6 months after radiation
I also was on
Casodex
for one month prior to the start of Lupron to lessen the flare. At 3 months post radiation PSA and Testosterone were not detectable. It is my understanding that the lingering effect of Lupron on reducing PSA could last up to at least double the time you were on Lupron.

Just joined the club no one wants to be a member of in April 2023 - can Gleason 9 be cured ?
The highest my PSA has ever been was 5.48 in December 2022 and it dropped to .09 with Testosterone of 14 in August two months after a shot of Eligard and 3 months of
Casodex
. Since then I have had 48 seeds planted via Brachytherapy and I am about to start EBRT.

Little Update
Did
Casodex
for 30 days and then got first Lupron shot about a month ago. Do you agree that is not that alarming or what do you think of this news? **1st appt with MO on the 18th so excited about that (that is weird to say!) because hopefully I can get on the triplet right away**

Now my cancer is now under control, my wife no longer wants to be with me.
I went straight on
Casodex
and 2 years of Eligard shots. 9 rounds of Docetaxel, kidney stents and VMAT radiation therapy. Following my last PET scan, no new growth was evident and my PSA has been under 1.0 for the last 18 months.

Long Journey
Started with
casodex
, Lupron. A few months later, brachytherapy then 42 sessions of EBRT. Over the years PSA would rise, and I would be put on Lupron for 18-24 months. In 2017, PSA started rising fast. Brought an MO into the mix. I was placed on Lupron, Xgeva and Erleada (apalutamide).

History of my cancer becoming castrate resistant
I was put on 1 month of
Casodex
which reduced my PSA to 0.342 when I started Lupron shot again and have been on it continuously since then.

73, RP 2021, BCR peaked PSA 2.2 2023, scrambling
Just got Lupron 8/30 and phasing off
Casodex
to avoid T flare 9/17. MO says plan is to stabilize then add Abiraterone/Prednisone, worried a bit about blood pressure. Is BAT a viable way to push out the castration resistance window?

Casodex
Is anyone doing only
Casodex
for their ADT together with their salvage rad? Are there any disadvantages for a six month course? Seems like it would make T recovery less of a problem.
