PSA after 4-5 months on Lupron (Scholz)?
He said multiple times that PSA should reach a nadir of <0.1 after 4-5 months on 1st generation
ADT
and that if it didn't "[i]something's wrong, that is an unusual type of prostate cancer that has some hormone resistance and studies over and over shown at the prognosis of those individuals is for lower

Note that: "
ADT
was continued throughout the study to allow rapid cycling from near castrate to supraphysiologic range T following T injections." There was no castrate phase! "
ADT
" is a red herring, in that there is no meaningful use of castration.

Relugolix/Orgovyx with pelvic radiation?
Should the scan show metastasis in the pelvic region, I will most likely have pelvic radiation with a short course of
ADT
. Has anyone had Relugolix in lieu of Lupron with pelvic radiation? I like the idea of faster testosterone recovery after finishing Relugolix in comparison to Lupron.

ART Effect Of Adjuvant And Salvage Radiotherapy After Radical Prostatectomy On Urinary Continence
If I could go back I would have stayed on
ADT
for longer than 6 months to see if I could get dry, then have sRT.

Trying to get to retirement before HT
Hi All, I'm currently 65 years old. My PSA level before the biopsy was 8.1, and my Gleason Score was 4+4. Fortunately, there are no signs of metastases. Although my treatment hasn't started yet, it's likely that I'll begin radiation therapy in early December. I'm currently overseas and won't return

Considering options regarding salvage radiation.
He also suggests that
ADT
would increase the effectiveness of radiation treatment by about 10%. The ultimate decision is up to me. I read and heard horrible things about
ADT
on the quality of life.

Castrate Resistant Pre-Indicator
I am about 18 months into
ADT
. My medical oncologist recently told me there is a sweet spot to stop
ADT
and I’m wondering if this might be it.

IMRT CONDENSED -4 Months ADT VS SBRT -4 Months ADT
The other recommending SBRT with 4 months
ADT

RO says their is more long term data with IMRT Condensed (20 treatments) than SBRT ... Other RO says get it over with in 5!
1. Anyone take IMRT Condensed , (20 ) visits vs. SBRT ? How and why did you come to that decision?

18 Month Update
After 18 months of
ADT
plus Abiraterone and HDR Brachytherapy and EBRT my WBC is within normal limits for the first time since HDR Brachytherapy. My PSA started at 10.28 and decreased 95% the first month of
ADT
and slowly after that with the last 6 months ranging 0.06 to 0.08.

IVF medication following BFP for those with POF?
Hi everyone Hoping to find a consensus re: dates of stopping hormone treatment for those with premature ovarian failure going through IVF. Recently thrilled to get a BFP following D5 DE FET (still early days, only 4.5 weeks along). My clinic seem to adopt a 'one-size fits all' approach and stops progesterone

Good news or bad news?
Six months into my vacatión from
ADT
(Zoladex), my PSA has risen from point 13 to point 40. Is this reason to celebrate or to be worried? It is obviously rising, but slowly. My hope is to make it to a year with PSA under 2.

Are there a nomograms or similar tools that would predict recurrence after IMRT/IGRT (without ADT).
In 2015, I underwent 45 sessions of radiation (no
ADT
) for a small amount of 3+3 and even smaller amout of 3+4, with a pre-radiation PSA of 1.7. My PSA has stabilized at .2 for the past two years. Can't find any post radiation predictive models or tools.

ADT & Joints
Reading the posts this morning I came across a reply that mentioned joint deterioration as a result of
ADT
. I just came off 24 mo of
ADT
. I've had some major inflammation in my knees the past two weeks. Could this be related to
ADT
- or perhaps an SE of RT to the lymph - or is it just old age?

Four years of ADT, pros/cons
Four years of Lupron + abiraterone Pros: I'm still alive and castration sensitive, spine met not growing or painful Cons: Zero libido, muscle loss, fat gain, hot flashes, blueberry-size testicles, BP increase, body hair loss... and all the other side effects that many of you are all too familiar with

What is role of hormonal therapy drug when taken with targeted therapy, eg Piqray or Ibrance?
I’ve been curious about this and wondering if anyone can explain. I want to better understand the role of the hormone therapy eg Faslodex when taken with targeted therapy such as Ibrance. Does it just reduce the amount of estrogen available to the cell and “lightens the load” on the targeted therapy?

Adding TurkeyTail (or other Mushrooms) to my current treatment
After I finish chemo (docetaxyl) in May, I might join a medical trial which will compare adding a Parp inhibitor while
ADT
is still working. I have been growing culinary mushrooms at home, and have also been successful with Reishi, LionsMane, Turkeytail as well.
