ADT

Chemotherapy- to do or not at 82 years ?
Would welcome views and experiences of those around my age who have done chemotherapy along with
adt
plus ARPI. Was it very tough on the body ? Was the chemo started after the arpi was added or before it? What is the determining factor to decide if chemotherapy has to be added ? Thank you

Your thoughts on next course of action
Passed on
ADT
due to side effects and opted for SBRT MDT to his LN. Scans showed it was successful. PSA dropped and has now shown a small rise. Latest PSMA shows 3 nodes with uptake.

PSMA PET Looks Good But PSA Rising
He was successfully treated with Triplet Therapy and has been off all meds on
ADT
vacation since February 2023 (full history in bio). He still has his prostate. His PSA has been going up since August 2023. The last two checks, it was over 6.

Xtandi gap
Long story short, I'm on
ADT
& Xtandi and just retired this past summer. While employed I was fortunate enough to have no cost for this drug that my medical insurance was paying $13k/month for. When I retired I had a 3 month supply that'll take me through mid-November.

Decipher and Prolaris and Oncotype...oh my.
Also, seems to be a wide consensus/opinion to go with
ADT
or not. Would be great to hear from those that have these tests and how or if it has impacted their treatment.

Is my recovery typical or more novel
I had
ADT
from 7/22 till 12/22 and received Proton beam therapy for 44 sessions from 12/22 till 2/23. After 6 months I tested PSA=0.45. Is this common in the greater population for approximately equivalent patients? Also the prostate still functions which is stunning considering all the radiation.

Kidney Stones
I’m 19 months into
ADT
(Lupron) following open RP and 38 rounds of radiation last summer. All treatments or for Gleason 9 (5/4) PC that had spread outside the prostate. A few weeks ago I started getting loose bowels, incontinence and blood in my urine.

PTEN loss is not a determinant of time to castration-resistance following androgen-deprivation therapy in prostate cancer
Time to CRPC was calculated from the initiation of
ADT
to the confirmed diagnosis of CRPC. Combination/sequential
ADT
was defined as the use of two or more classes of
ADT
concomitantly or switching from one class to another. We found that PTEN loss was evident in 60.6% of CRPC.

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
To keep you up to speed - 3 months ago, his
ADT
injections stopped working and his PSA started to climb up slowly. Oncologist put Dad on Enzalutamide - been on it for 6 cycles - tolerated well but his PSA has gone from 76 to 87 in one week. So Enzalutamide has started to become 'ineffective'.

If immediately stopping after two years taking Orgovyx how long before testosterone begins to rise?
But I also heard that the longer on any
ADT
the longer the recovery. Or maybe testosterone never recovers? What do you guys think question

Dumb Question about rising PSA after initial RT.
If you still have a prostate after RT treatment 7 years ago ( NO
ADT
), could a slowly rising PSA just be 'natural' as you age?
