Experiences with

AndroGel

At the last appointment 2 weeks after the surgery, surgeon tells me we can discuss going back on Androgel in a year. Prior to the surgery, I had told him I expected to go back on Androgel.

Currently one month into a 24-month sentence of ADT (Orgovyx + Nubeqa) for my node-positive PCa. IMRT starts early January.

Age 73. Did SBRT radiation and 18 months on ADT (Eligard). Now I'm finally off ADT (PSA .01). My right pinky finger has seemingly developed arthritis (difficult to bend it). X-rays show lack of cartilage according to my GP. But now I'm wondering (1) if it's a SE of ADT, and (2) if it might improve now

Apologies in advance if I posted something similar a few days ago, but I didn't receive any responses and thought the post probably did not get published. Age 66 and on ADT for 12+ yrs.

I am age 66. had whack-a-mole radiation about 2,5 yrs ago (yo my left acetabulum/hip) when PSA began to rise after 10 -11 yrs on ADT (Lupron for 12 and Abiraterone for most of that time). This time, Pet/CT indicates 1 of my 2 vertebral tumors is the culprit for my PSA rise over the last 2 yrs.

Have not been on here for awhile so I'll update. Had 15 weeks of prostate radiation from in June to August. Was not as bad as I feared.
