High Gleason low PSA - quit ADT?
Poster Besides having EBRT and brachotherapy, I am on
ADT
(Firmagon and Bicalutamid). Given the above apparently negative impact of
ADT
, does anyone have any idea whether I should consider replacing or complementing my
ADT
with systemic therapy?

Stage 4 initial recommendation Docetaxel and ADT
MD Anderson recommends docetaxel and
ADT
with primary site radiation after. I see there's some data of maintaining better control with early chemo, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced it. My urologist recommended
ADT
and IMRT to all sites.

Post SRT + ADT PSA
Salvage RT to prostate bed and combined
ADT
(casodex and GnRH) started at this level (0.16). RT was from August-October and
ADT
just finished a week ago. Three months in (around October) his PSA was 0.01. Now, a week off
ADT
and three months out from SRT, his PSA is 0.16 again. What does this mean?

Does anyone know the cost of this drug?Insurance has denied it. I have seen on the internet a price of 2300 monthly. My doctors want me to do short term ht . The safety aspects seem safer than lupron with quicker recovery time once off the drug.

PSMA and ADT
I will probably start
ADT
in 3 weeks. Will this interfere with the PSMA scan? If the
ADT
works will it stop PC sites from showing or will they still show on the scan? It is not likely that I can get the scan before
ADT
unless I postpone the
ADT
.

ADT Break
He said PSA of 1.0 would be the trigger to resume
ADT
, I'm currently undetectable. Has anyone else had a huge PSA increase after skipping one or maybe two shots? Thanks

DECIPHER news
I read yesterday that a new phase RTOG 9601 validates DECIPHER as a predictor of OS, and also showed
ADT
to be beneficial in DECIPHER high risk men receiving ART, especially those with low PSA.

ADT and growth of breasts
I was not a victim of breast enlargement during my first injection of Lupron or while on Casodex but I do not know if it is any indication that my breasts won't grow once I start
ADT
again in a few weeks. Did any of you experience growing breasts while under
ADT
?

Low Testosterone After ADT
This is 8 months after my last
ADT
Implant, and 5 months after the drug has been depleted by my body. This really surprised me, I expected my Testosterone to be at least on the road to recovery, suppose it explains why I feel so crap :-( Is this normal after
ADT
, I was only on
ADT
for 7 months?
