New biopsy: now G4+3
I am eager for opinions (Tall Allen especially) about optimal radiation approach (IMRT/SBRT/Brachy LDR or HDR, etc.) and whether
ADT
will be needed.

Prostate cancer treatment and sexual mutilation
Well well. In the midst of the club no one wants to be a part of and just wanted to add my input. It seems that the treatment of prostate cancer often glazes over the fact that you will be sexually impacted severely. Depending on treatment outcome that could be a 0 to 7. Seems like the topic isn’t really

Back in permanent AF and warfarin dose decrease
Hi All, I used to have paroxysmal AF which was ablated by Prof Schilling back in 2010. I had been in NSR. However I was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in the summer. I had huge delays and postponements before I had a biopsy. I eventually got the results 5 weeks later (rather than the two weeks promised

Best Weight Training for Hormone therapy
My team says I should do at least 4-6 months of
ADT
and i know weight training can help while on
ADT
. I am 71 and because of covid don't want to do training in a gym. Any suggestions on what sort of weights and regimen i should start out on at home?

what is the role of a MO?
I’ve had RP, recurrence,
ADT
, salvage radiation. No one has ever referenced involvement by MO at any stage and RO seems to suggest he’ll handle it all if PSA rises. Is MO a “last ditch” team member? I know nothing about their role. Not itching to see a doc I don’t need, merely seeking info.

Who got their T level done before ADT?
I was a month into
ADT
before I realized that I had no baseline Testosterone number!I know the treatment is all about reducing T, but now that I'm considering vacation possibilities I think it would be helpful to know what my unadjusted level was.

Side effects of Relvar Ellipta?
Hi, I have been on Relvar Ellipta for, I think, four years now. It works well to control my asthma, but I wonder if anybody has got any side effects from this medicine? Apart from asthma, I have problems with a heart valve (Mitral), and I am hormone treatment for prostate cancer, and also I take Budesonide

How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
I started my hormone treatment with firmagon + apalutamide beginning 2023. The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my psa dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4

ADT Emotional Lability Do Antidepressants Help?
Dear All, I’m dealing with the emotional lability of
ADT
and was wondering if Antidepressants helped? Just curious about others experiences. I have tried escitalopram but was deathly nauseous 3 days in and stopped taking it and haven’t tried anything else. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Follow up to "My trajectory after a 'vacation' and a new metastasis," and a new question
I though that the recommendation of the "tumor board" at Smilow Cancer Center in New Haven, CT, would be "doublet therapy" to treat the new metastasis that was found with a PET PSMA scan, (the second one that was found after my Lupron "vacation"; the first was treated with radiation--details of my case

Additional Drug Choice
I started my
ADT
treatment with Eligard and Xtandi but had to change due to the cardiovascular side effects. I have been on Orgovyx alone for 10 months. My PSA is undetectable and my testosterone is 13. The drug is doing what it should.

Dutasteride (Advodart) as an Alternative to ADT in Salvage RT Setting?
The
ADT
seems to buy a very moderate amount of extra time before metastases occurs but I've yet to find clear data that the addition of
ADT
significantly increases the probability that SRT is curative. The side effects of
ADT
are pretty harsh.

***Numb Ankles***
I know it's probably Neoupopthy or a form of it most likely from
ADT
for five years now. I'm sure some of you are experiencing this new twist to our APC . I take an over the counter supplement that's specifically for Neoupopthy already. Any help or advice from my brothers is appreciated.

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I hope this story might be useful to others. I'm based in the UK and had a PSA of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the
