Death from other-than PCa is not a "success"
A tongue-in-cheek stated goal by many here with PCa (including myself for the past 17 years since dianosis) has been to live to die of "anything other" than prostate cancer. Of course that does not bear up to close scrutiny. Many alternative causes of death, including the "big 4" of Cardiovascular Disease

ADT Side Effects and Supplements.
Ok I just read some comments about Lupron and ADT side effects and felt I had to ask the members a question. Yesterday I saw my urologist for my 6 month routine follow up. He looked at my labs and commented on how good they were for a guy on adt for two years. When he got to my kidney function his comment

Zoladex injection
I began the zoladex injection in January of this year, I then had a laparoscopy in March which diagnosed my endometriosis. I had light bleeding for a couple of weeks after and then it completely stopped. Since then, I've had 2 episodes of heavy bleeding lasting 10 is days. No hormonal treatment has helped

Ped5i/Tadalafil etc as a benefit to SE of ADT?
Tadalafil , etc is prescribed for ED, BPH and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is pretty much agreed upon that Tadalafil increases insulin sensitivity thus improving lean body mass, particularly around the gut, improves Testosterone/estrogen relationship and is good for heart and vascular health

Forgetfulness on ADT
Are there any ways to help with the side effect of forgetfulness / mild cognitive impairment while on ADT? My Dad (stage 4 PC) started on ADT 2 only months ago, but there have been a few moments of mild cognitive impairment since starting - forgetting shopping list, trying to return stuff at the wrong

Vitamins with ADT?
Hi Tall_Allen, You do not recommend vitamins when on ADT? I am on daily Casodex, has been for several years, and I am taking - Multivitamins, C-, D-, K- vitamins and magnesium daily. Should I stop this? Can you elaborate a bit on why you do not recommend taking vitamins? Thanks in advance!

Disgusted with Healthcare
I had to request my PCP to do a PSA as it wasn't standard practice. I had to call the urologist, who I originally saw, after I joined this board and knew I should be starting ADT, even though they hadn't two months after my scans showed Stage IV. I saw the surgeon even though it was Stage IV and wasn't

Compression fracture or something worse?
Hello! My dad has been battling stage four prostate cancer for nearly nine years. He's done remarkably well, all things considered. He's had chemo, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and second line hormone therapy. Along the way he has had heart issues and also CNS lymphoma (brain cancer).

Penis after metastatic prostrate cancer and hormonal treatment
HelloI was diagnosed in September 2022. Was immediately put on ADT hormonal treatment. Had radiation to the prostrate and radiation to the spine where it spread. My issue is penis shrinkage.

Stopping Orgovyx after six months
My brother has PCa as well. We keep it in the family... He had a PT ten years ago but his PSA rose so he got salvage radiation and went on Orgovyx. His MO said he would be on it for 18 months, as is SOC. He didn't like his MO so he switched to a GU MO. That MO said the research showed six months of ADT

Rise in psa
I had rp in 2021 with recurrence 12 months later to 1 lymph node. RT to 9lymph nodes and zoladex hormone therapy for 18 months. Psa has been undetectable for 12 months but just rose to 0.03. Do I need to wait until it rises to 2.0 as I've seen advice before or is there a more proactive approach? Thanks

Internet Myths about Red Meat
I know that many men, egged on by well-meaning caregivers and sometimes doctors, deprive themselves of red meat. Some (non-Hindus) have an almost religious attachment to plant-based diets. I expect they will object to this article. For that reason, it goes into the weeds of what constitutes Internet

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
I am participating in an NIH study combining Docetaxel with an immunotherapy. I had my first treatment of only Docetaxel this Tuesday. I lasted 2 minutes and 7cc before I had a severe reaction - severe flushing (glowing red from head to toe), difficulty breathing, sweating, uncontrollable shivering.

Prostrate Cancer treatment ADT
HiI am being treated for PC. After diagnose I was put on ADT treatment. This stops testosterone production. Had a bone scan and found I have osteopenia. I am taking a calcium citrate with vitamin D. Also once per week Alendronate 70mg. Has anyone else been in the same boat? Thanks

xtandi plus talzenna
Has anyone else been down this treatment to add Talzenna to their adt treatments? I started only a few days ago. Side effects seem to be severe. Kidney pain, back pain, brain fog, fatigue. I stopped after only day three. Awaiting my MO to respond to the call for help. I feel way too medicated.
