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.

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.

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?

Optimal ADT length of time along with radiation for a recurrence 5 years post surgery-research or studies please.
Could you please provide me with research studies or data indicating the optimal time for
ADT

adt
and undergoing 33 radiation treatments.

Welcome to Stage Denial
So, various treatment options have been outlined for me including radiation,
ADT
, and some form of chemo. I've been learning much more by subscribing to this website and reading everyone's stories. The YouTube videos referenced by another participant have been very informative.

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.

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.

Radiation for Salvage Treatment
However, I would like to know if weeks of external radiation with
ADT
, is the best treatment option here. The idea of blindly radiating pelvic area with a re-recurrence a few years later does not appeal to me. Not to mention possible lingering side effects from radiation.

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."

Pluvicto after long time androgen deprivation therapy

significantly reduces the visibility of castration-sensitive PC on PSMA PET/CT. If the objective is visualization of the maximum possible extent of disease, we recommend referring patients for PSMA PET/CT before starting

Started MRI Guided SBRT at MSK
I started in mid-July a four month course of
ADT
with Orgovyx. So far I have experienced the typical side effects... mild hot flashes, loss of libido, ED and difficulty reaching orgasm. My blood sugars are rising by still under control.

New to this: travel during ADT & post EBRT?
Saw an oncologist and he explained normal course of treatment: start
ADT
, wait 2 months, do EBRT for appx 28 sessions. Continue on
ADT
for another few months, total 6 months. I go back to him early September to discuss PSMA/PET results and start whatever it is I need to do.

Dartagnan
My second option was radiate the prostate alone, then stay on
ADT
/ medication the rest of my life (didn't make much sense to me) The third option is to include the one lymph node that's outside of the radiation field with full prostate & pelvic radiation 2 years
ADT
and then they would take me off
