Gleason 8 on HRT
I was recently diagnosed with localized prostate cancer Gleason 8, which fortunately was caught early. After initial discussions with my healthcare team, I've begun hormone therapy, receiving my first injection about three to four weeks ago, along with a 28-day course of tablets. This decision came after

what’s the best exercise and nutrition while on Abiraterone/Prednisone and Lupron.
I’m 44 years old with PCa. I’m on ADT for the last 18 months and had radiation and chemo a year ago. I have fatigue and find it very difficult to get the energy to workout. It’s also difficult to get motivation. Does anyone have any suggestions on workouts and nutrition during this treatment?

New way to delay resistance in prostate cancer
In vitro/in vivo but ready for clinical. I have found and tried to read the paper...what I understood is "great news!" but don't ask me to explain better than this: Prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can (will) develop into castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), making

Quick update on my journey
My bio has most of the brief history of my recent diagnosis. I’m on month 3 of Xtandi plus Orgovyx and just met with Rad Onc at Duke for initial consultation. Plan is low dose IMRT over 20 days (every day for 5 days in a row each week). Expect to remain on existing doublet Tx for at least the next

ADT’s effectiveness and reason for limited success of chemo on prostrate cancer
I was wondering why they don’t just give chemo for Prostrate cancer irrespective of hormone sensitivity. Chemotherapy drugs destroy all rapidly dividing cells (even hair) so why would prostrate cancer cells be spared? I was trying to understand if ADT really kills PC cells or just makes them hibernate

palliative radiation treatment questions
In my prior (first) post, I shared about my 82 year old father’s condition. Thanks for all the helpful and thoughtful responses from this community. He has gone off Goserelin (ADT) injection and now just on bicalutamide pills. As his testosterone seems to have returned, he’s now having more energy

PSA holding low!!
Hi all, I just want to give notice to everyone :-) that the PSA is still at a low level after almost 3 years of ADT. So it was 0.03 in July last year. In January it fell to 0.01 and now it went up meaningless, I hope, to 0.02. Good health to everyone!

Xtandi and Intermittent
I started Xtandi 2 months ago and got PSA undetectable. <.001. Now, my doctor suggest me to reduce from 4 tablets per say to 3 tablets per day. A month ago, I say "no", reasoning that reduction of the amount may create an early resistance to Xtandi. But he is persistent. He said no necessarily.

adt prior to radiation treatment
The urologist wants to use Lupron prior to radiation treatment and I am wondering if I should insist on Orgovyx instead. Are there studies I can go into my appointment with to support?

Testosterone after ADT?
My pre-ADT testosterone was 620. Now, after four months of ADT (and radiation), it's 9. My ADT prison sentence ends September 31 (Orgovyxx). A couple guys at my gym have offered to hook me up starting in November to get my T back up quickly. I know doctors will say this is not a good idea, but is there

Does taking chemo upfront reduce chances of the cancer morphing into more aggressive variants in the future ?
My PSA at diagnosis was relatively low at 21 and scans showed multiple bone mets. My oncologist said that puts me at a greater risk of the cancer morphing Into a more aggressive one in the future compared to someone who had come with a psa of 400-500. Is this correct ? Would doing chemotherapy

Verzenio alone
I was wondering if anyone has used Verzenio after Ibrance and Fulvestrant have failed? I did get a couple good years on the Ibrance/Fulvestrant I am ER+ HR- and have used all my hormone treatment options and am facing IV Chemo. However my Dr. says Verzenio may be an option. ‘Thanks for any encouraging
