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

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.

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.

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.

Testosterone post ADT
My t level is coming back very slowly following salvage radiation + 6 months
ADT
. I’m 60 years old and after nearly 18 months still have difficulty gaining muscle mass and losing this gut. The good news is my PSA is still undetectable. Any suggestions?

Vacation time again
We decided to follow the original plan of intermittent
ADT
and I’m starting another
ADT
vacation. This round of
ADT
had started with minimal SE’s but in the last month or so it’s gotten worse. My energy level has noticeably decreased and the hot flashes have noticeably increased.

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?

Update on my father
He’s been on
ADT
- Eligard shots every 3 months and prednisone + zytiga everyday. It’s challenging as I work with him and see all the ins and outs of his behaviour while on those meds. He remains undetectable on the psa scale as of now (<0.02) Diagnosis in 2019 .

Maddening Contradictory Advice
Latest update on my still hormone sensitive lymph nodes-only but widespread metastatic cancer is the Dexa scan showing I now have Osteopenia (no doubt occasioned by
ADT
regimen and lack of Testosterone).

Heme iron versus ferrous gluconate
ADT
causes the symptoms of anemia & some GPs respond by recommending iron. Myers was fed up at one point about the number of patients who had way too much iron - thanks to their GPs. As Myers says: men don't bleed, at least not on a monthly cycle.

CT and Bone Scan 2 weeks after PSMA PET?
My argument was to start
ADT
and salvage radiation ASAP, but maybe I'm missing something here. What is the benefit of waiting and doing another: 1) CT/Bone Scan after a PSMA PET 2 weeks ago, and 2) another PSA test after a week?

ART Long-Term Mortality Low Regardless of Treatment in Local Prostate Cancer
RP, followed by

ADT
post treatment…I was not feeling so good about my decision. Then I read the article…this jumps out!

Muscle building on ADT?
I just started radiation along with orgovyx and zitiga. Anyone know if you can build muscle while on these meds? I don't know if building muscle is even possible with no testosterone?
