Decided on brachyboost plus 6 months ADT
After a lot of research, questions and consults, he has decided on brachyboost (EBRT plus brachytherapy) plus 6 months of
ADT
. It was a tough decision and we both know way more about prostate cancer now that we ever wanted to, but I am glad we did our due diligence.

Pluvicto damaging salivary glands?
Now on
ADT
holiday since 1-1-24, psa unmeasurable so far. During the treatment, had increasingly serious drymouth and nasal congestion and irritation with bleeding, which I attributed to radiation damage. Since then, there has been some, slow improvement, but still not right yet.

bone met
They decided to not use
ADT
. I know that I am at the end. So getting my affairs in order. I read that a cure is possible with olio metastatic but that’s fiction and wishful thinking. I am 78 so three mo years would be great. I had surgery in 2014, Gleason 7.

The MO said that no
Adt
will work . I have been reading that most people take
Adt
along with Docataxcel. I would love to prolong my life. I have concerns about QOL and what are the percentages of this treatment working with and without
ADT
? Thank you

Add Nubeqa to Orgovyx?
I have started
ADT
with Orgovyx (relugolix) and want to add an ARI. The urologist wants to use the ARI Erleada (apalutamide). I want Nubeqa (darolutamide) as it does not cross the blood-brain barrier, because in past 4 years I have had 3 un-diagnosable seizures.

Pain post SBRT
Started on
ADT
(Firmagon and Nubeqa) in October 2023. Completed 6 cycles of docetaxel 4 wks ago. Started SBRT yesterday. My side effects thus far were all expected and I was prepared for them. Last night had severe back pain (8 out of 10) which lasted for 3-4 hours.

Is This Normal??
Is it normal after nearly 5 years on
ADT
+ Zytig, Prednisone, and Xgeva, to have constant "Flu-Like" symptoms, (sans a fever)? Some days, everything hurts, legs hurt at night , feel like my blood is boiling while I try to sleep. Are these "side effects" or just part of the advanced cancer?

Holding very low stable usPSA - 0.03X range for six years; no ADT, no chemo.
Today, six years hence, holding very low stable usPSA, 0.03X range, no
ADT
, no chemo. I am taking supplements to (theoretically) get after cancer stem cells and I strive to keep ferritin in the low normal range. All the best to all of us!

Chemo Vs ADT
So, -
ADT
suppresses PC but will not kill it. Chemo on the other hand finds the PC cells and kills them. So why do we put ourselves thru
ADT
side effects to just suppress this disease? Why don’t we all suck it in and do the full Monty with Chemo and kill this stuff.

Cribiform Prostate Cancer
I will start treatment with
ADT
this mnonth and SBRT in April, 2024. Cribiform cancer in the literature is associated with significantly worse outcomes. Does anyone have experience with this?

AlteraAI test
Has anyone tried the AlteraAI test that uses AI to analyze the tumor samples and can predict the risk of developing metastatic disease after radiation for localized tumor with or without
ADT
. It has just been approved by Medicare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Newly diagnosed Gleason 9
Also would like to know my options on further treatment … Adjuvant radiation with
ADT
has been mentioned. Thank you in advance for any words of wisdom and similar experiences you may have had.

rising PSA and 'light' advancement of mets in hip bones. Diagnosed stage 4 in March 2021.
ADT
dropped the PSA quite a bit. We started seeing Dr. George at Duke March of 2023 and he had my husband on a round of docetaxel. After that the many bone mets and some on lungs 'disappeared'. Now it looks like they are starting to grow back.

Curcumin Interactions with Abiraterone
Curcumin has so many good benefits that would help to cope with
ADT
side effects. Does Curcumin interefers with
ADT
(Lupron+Zytiga)? Does anyone taking Curcumin while on Hormone Therapy? Please, share the information. Thank you.

Should I do chemotherapy?
Would welcome views and experiences of those who have done chemotherapy along with
adt
plus ARPI. Was it very tough on the body ? Was the chemo started after the arpi was added or before it? What is the determining factor to decide if chemotherapy has to be added ? Thank you

Does this mark the beginning of castration resistance?
Can anybody please let me know whether this is reasonable fear given this increase and perhaps what options others have found that may help him perhaps prolong
ADT
?

Should the dose of Dutasteride be increased?
STEP 2: Add Dutasteride to
ADT
. We know that using the standard dose of 0.5 mg/day of Dutasteride reduces DHT by 94% (reduction factor = 16.7 X). I believe that this 94% reduction will synergistically magnify the % reduction from doing Lupron
ADT
.
