Stinging skin, no rash. Ideas?

I have been on Lupron for 10 1/2 months and have tolerated it reasonably well. Obvious testicular atrophy and new belly fat past 2 months.

Scary Test: ALP

Having a lot of anxiety! With my recent 20 lb weight loss (and still at it, 30 lbs more to go), I asked my GI doc to order bloodwork for an update/progress report of sorts. There was the expected CBC, CMP, GGT, INR, and then I saw the ALP (tumor marker for liver cancer). My brain knows he’s a great DocHaving a lot of anxiety!

New PSMA ligand treatment with less side effects than Ac225?

I am in a mental quandary.

Zytiga working but

My zytiga seems to be working. In one year PSA has gone from 1230 to 0.48. Alk Phos from 782 to 106. Now tests are showing low RBC and low hemoglobin, they suspect blood loss somewhere. Is drop in those counts normal with treatment?My zytiga seems to be working. In one year PSA has gone from 1230 to 0.48. Alk Phos from 782 to 106.
