New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
If we can stall or delay progression with the hopes of my husband having a durable remission or even the potential to take a break from
ADT
, then we deemed it worth it.

After bicalutimide and a high testosterone level is pre treatment T just guess work?
some input/advice/ thoughts as I make a decision on how far to push to the SOC for my high risk G9, given my oncologist is saying 15 months adjuvant (I am nervous of anything less than 18 months) is enough given my co morbidities, age at 73 , current low T at 0,6 (17) and PSA of 0.01 throughout the

I want to try SARM's-Yes or No?
I asked my MO about BAT and I've had two cycles of getting a month off
ADT
and receiving an injection of testosterone the month off of
ADT
before restarting
ADT
. I've read some positive reviews on this site about Ostarine.

Which Estrogen Patch dose to use?
The data set from Smith et. al (2019) is for castrate-resistant prostate cancer men (CRPC), who are not taking
ADT
. Overall, the serum E2 concentration increases as the number of E2 patches used per week (Total weekly E2 dose) increases.

I am livid, confused , worried and scared as hell that my ORGOVYX -ADT symptoms are mine for life.
what is the difference of being on
-Orgovyx for life and having the exact same symptoms off the drug but caused by the low testosterone you acquired off the drug and by taking the drug.

Simultaneous vs Sequential Rad and ADT
It could be that the synergy seen is only apparent; that it's a statistical artifact caused by the 30% of the men who get short term
ADT
never getting their TET back. Meaning, the 30% of men who get short term
ADT
are, in effect, actually getting long term
ADT
because their TET never recovers.

Thanks and hope to all
Brachytherapy prior with
ADT
for the last 7 months. Things seem to be going as smoothly as it sometimes does.

Hot Flashes and Veozah
I am 19 months into my 2 years on
ADT
+ Zytiga & P. 6 months into it, I started experiencing severe hot flashes. Severe = Full body sweats, dripping off my brow, palms wet and needing to mop it off my chest or change my shirt. Every 1 -2 hours. I tried 4 antidepressants that didn't work.

Diagnosed with prostate cancer in August'18 with PSA of 7.84, Greason score of 7 (4+3) before being treated with SBRT without
ADT
at UCLA in October'18. Reached nadir at .79 after 4.5 years after SBRT treatment.

Criteria for "my ADT has stopped working and we have to move to another"
Hello - So my third post
ADT
initiation (Lupron+Abi) PSA test is coming up and since it was <.1 six weeks ago, I asked how the criteria of “has stopped working” works -to my Hopkins MO and I got this - “We want to declare a therapy no longer effective when PSA is clearly going up.

But for the past 2-3 weeks, I am once more unable to get an erection and my libido has vanished once again as if I was still on

Worried about pulmonary fibrosis if radiating the metastasis in my shoulder blade
Just
ADT
? Could they do radiation from the top down so that the radiation does not go through the lung?

ADT for a year?
Had intermediate grade PC no spread, had SBRT. Three months out my Psa is .03. Am on Lupron for the fourth month out of a projected 12 month stint. Do docs ever say, six or nine months is enough? Testosterone at 6 right now.

ADT before Surgery?
I have a prostatectomy which is probably 6-8 weeks in my future. My outlook is that metastasis in imminent. (T3bM0n0 and no evidence of cancer outside the gland as of May 25 PSMA PET scan, but I am told I am intermediate/unfavorable and my PSA went from 10 to 12 in only a month.) Today is August 18.
