Questions about protocol changes regarding ADT from 2nd opinion.
However I do have the evidence of adenocarcinoma in the prostate and am starting on this road through RT (with an OAR barrier) and
ADT
scheduled next month. My question: is there a difference between Eligard and Lupron? My reading says they are for "advanced prostate cancer."

GUIDANCE trial
I'm in the low Decipher score group (0.34), but there is still a 50% chance that I'll have to do
ADT
with it as part of the randomization in the study. Has anyone else had the vessel sparing procedure or part of this study? Curious on your outcomes (I know everyone's experience will be different).

Intraductal Carcinoma & Cribiform pattern 4 treatment options?
I am reading that the IDC-P has poor response to
ADT
, CT (chemo), and external beam radiation. Anyone who has news on recent/upcoming medications, clinical trials or alternatives to existing ones?

Ginseng and Testosterone
I know whilst on
adt
it helps with overall fatigue but would that be defeating the object of the pc cells feeding on more produced testosterone, sounds like a double edged sword. Any comments would bd appreciated.

Castration resistant in just a year? Normal or not? Provenge in my future.
I was diagnosed with stage 4b (mets in multiple bones and nodes) ductal and started
ADT
13 months ago. Nubeqa and Docetaxel (Triplet therapy) started 9 months ago, and finished chemo 4.5 months ago. Still on Lupron and Nubeqa.

Orgovyx Insurance Approval
If I have to do
ADT
(12 months), I would like to take the one less likely to cause serious cardio issues. Express Scripts has issued a denial which I intend to appeal.

PSA still low but cancer progressing
I've been on
ADT
plus Xtandi for about a year (see my profile) and my PSA has steadily reduced and stayed low. However, my latest CT scan shows that the tumours on my bones and lymph nodes are increasing in size and there are now a few small lesions appearing in my liver for the first time.

Would I be on thin ice if I tried adaptive ADT this soon?
After 6 weeks on Lupron and 9 days on abiraterone, my PSA was .1, and my testosterone was <1. This is within the criteria being used to start people on adaptive in this MCSPC Moffitt study with Jingsong Yang - (he says I can just follow the protocol without being in the study)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Psa doubled in less than a month
I previously did
ADT
then orchiectomy and when PSA began to rise again it was decided that I was castrate resistant. I have an appointment with Dr Aggerwal at UCSF in a little more than a month and CT and bone scans on the 16th of this month.

Aetna appeal for Firmagon denial
The doctor prescribed 2 years of
ADT
plus 5 weeks of IMRT. Had first 240 mg dose of firmagon on September 14 with no major side effects so far. Doctor used firmagon to avoid testosterone surge, and after conferring with MO, he agreed to have my husband stay with the firmagon.

RO Advice for Salvage Rad
However, he wants do the SRT w/o
ADT
. His rationale is that if we do
ADT
concurrently, there's no way to tell if the SRT was working. Plus, he says that if the SRT fails, then I'll be in the same boat with
ADT
anyway, so why not wait?

testosterone boosters after ADT?
I finished SBRT in September and a six month course of
ADT
in March. I asked my endocrinologist about zinc and Vitamin D to aid T recovery, and he said it probably wouldn’t help, but won’t hurt anything. I saw some “testosterone support” from Wieder at the store and am considering it.

Tests in regard to treatment
Hi Folks, After RP ~6 months ago with persistent PSA > .15, I've begun
ADT
using Orgovyx, and salvage pelvic RT. When should I expect that my RO will order testing, and for what? For example blood tests for PSA & testosterone.

Another Cialis Question
Anyway, since there’s still a ways to go on this
ADT
journey, I wanted to see if he should be back on Cialis again.

PSA down but mets increasing?
I've been on
ADT
+ Xtandi for about a year (see my Bio for details) and my PSA has been slowly and steadily reducing over that time - now down to 0.05.

how fit can one be on ADT and abiraterone?
I have been on Lupron and abiraterone for less than two months and I have gone from doing 50 consecutive push ips to 10. I am slim on KETO diet but am disenchanted with the lack of ability to maintain any muscle. How much strength can be maintained on these meds?
