Quick update on my journey
Physically I’m doing well with typical
ADT
side effects, but minimal fatigue. I work out at least 4 times a week and walk every day. Have focused on better diet and less alcohol as well and have actually dropped about 12 lbs since biopsy and my BP is normal as well as most bloodwork.

Question in Preparation for pBAT
With Eligard
ADT
in the background, my pBAT program calls for 8 injections of T propionate eod at a dosage of 50 mg. That dosage is expected to yield peak total T of about 2,000 ng/dL.

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
When I took the
ADT
, my PSA went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared from my lymph, pretty much immediately.

Break from ADT or not?
Hi everyone, my Dad was recommended 18-24 months of Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone after Radiation Therapy. We reached that time and MO said that is up to my Dad if he wants to continue the treatment or not. Lately my dad had high blood pressure over 200 and he ended up in ER, but now the blood pressure is

Dealing with the Anxiety and Depression From Cancer
So I went back to what worked for me in the past and proceeded to build a physical routine to fight the cancer and the potential mental and physical side effects of
ADT
and radiation.

question for those who have stopped Lupron after many years of ADT
I have been on Lupron for 8 years with the short-term exception of a high/T clinical trial,( but even during the trial I stayed on Lupron). Anyway I’m undetectable and decided to stop Lupron. 3 months after not getting my shot my T is now a whopping 37. I am curious to hear from some of you who

Dental Issues with Finesteride
I've been off
ADT
all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems. Very sensitive teeth both top and bottom on left side.

Things I Like About ADT
Eventually Darolutamide and Taxotere chemo would be added to bring that PSA down to 0.0, but in doing the obvious math the
ADT
clearly did all the heavy lifting. Bottom line, most of us are extremely fortunate to have a cancer that responds well to
ADT
.

Clinical Trial Considerations??
It has a pretty lengthy list of side effects in addition to the traditional
ADT
treatment. While I want to help the PC cause, the standard treatment plan has a very high likelihood of success even with high-risk G8. The trial uses SBRT and a shorter
ADT
regimen.

EBRT - Is it the right thing and what to expect?
After DX in November 2018 with Stage IV and Gleason of 5+4 and 4+5, and 5 years of
ADT
of Lupron (then Orgovyx), prednisone 5mg, and Zytiga 250mg with low fat breakfast, my PSA stayed stable at 0.4 or 0.5. At end of 2013, PSA started rising to latest value of 0.84.

This linear regime is the basis for why
ADT
works so well for castrate-sensitive Prostate Cancer patients.

Should I be concerned about a PSA of 0.53 after SBRT treatment for one spot.
After 18 months of undetectable PSA (after
ADT
& 44 IMRT treatments) , my PSA started to rise this summer and was 2.66 at it's highest. My RO send me for a PSMA- Pet scan and he found one spot on T-10. 5 treatment with SBRT in Oct - Nov and now on Dec 6th my PSA was tested to
0.53.

Treatment going forward
Is avoiding
ADT
a possibility in light of the encouraging PSMA PET? Any treatment suggestions? Any MD recommendations in the Seattle area. Thanks

I've come to understand that doctors use
ADT
to remove testosterone since they believe the cancer feeds on it. So after surgery and
ADT
, with testosterone at a bottom level, what then do the cancer cells feed on to cause yet another recurrence?

Orgovyx + Abiaterone?
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). But I see several posts of others taking this combo instead of Eligard/Lupron.

Working with Stage IV
Also, did read this right,
ADT
only gives about 10 mos. to 1 year increase in life expectancy?
