Severe cramps and ADT
Once I started
ADT
(Lupron, abiraterone, prednisone), I started getting severe leg cramps at night. So bad and long lasting that they made me nauseous. These were coupled with occasional toes curling suddenly and very painfully and also jaw suddenly clenching.

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.

Weight training and ADT
I thought maybe there was someone else out there who entered this treatment journey in good shape who might have some ideas for me on how to cope with
ADT
side effects. I am 59 years old and a little over 6 months into
ADT
. I will have between 6-12 months more.

Cognition Issues
Since then he has been intermittently on
ADT
until he because Castrate resistant about a year ago. He is now on a clinical trial with NUBEQA plus Lupron. It brought his PSA from 14 to 4.5 and it is just setting around there for about 3 months.

First psa came back .34 so straight to
ADT
and am 6 away from finishing 37 EBRT treatments. I guess my question is. How did I end up like this in such a short timeframe? Hoping for NED after all this but I sure don’t feel real warm and fuzzy about it at this point.

Second Gen ADT Drug Issues
Dont remember seeing this on here yet. I guess one weighs increased risk of dementia vs stopping PC. Wouldnt want to be in that position. I remember back before my SRT went on Bicalutamide for one month before SRT started and then stopped when I read that is also linked to dementia. Crap. https://www.urologytimes.com

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.

eGFR down 14% since starting ADT
I just noticed that my estimated GFR which measures kidney health is down from 89 in October to 77 in June 2023. In October I started Lupron. Does Lupron impact kidney health? This is something I want to keep track off. Mark

How long should PSA go down after SBRT
NADIR is reached, with no
ADT
, and when should one become concerned?

Sweet!
Had 2nd of 90 days Lupron Feb 1-23 as adjuvant 6-month
ADT
therapy with my Salvage IMRT. First PSA test yesterday and T level. Undetectable (less than .006 uPSA) and T level of 30. Here's to hoping it stays down.

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?

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?

ADT or Hospice?
The family is at a crossroads, deciding between starting him on
ADT
or having him enter hospice. As the urologist described it, without
ADT
he will get to the point where his bone structure can't support any body weight.

Xtandi (enzalutamide) +ADT slows metastases in recurrent men
We recently saw that
ADT
+Erleada (apalutamide) slows progression compared to
ADT
alone.

adt
-4 months of orgovyxx- then 4 months for recovery of T- that didn't happen.

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).

Acupuncture and Hot Flashes
I am now 15 months into
ADT
and hot flashes have been epic. Every 1 to 2 hours - full body flop sweats for 3-5 minutes. I have gone to wearing black shirts so it doesn't show too much.

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 .
