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

High PSA after surgery
Well, obviously I can't have a sex life with a Testosterone level of 38 and can't go back on the
Androgel
with a PSA of .31 and i'm still incontinent (which I will admit is not as bad as it was).

Update recent PSMA
Docs did it to me again with the usual bad news. Uptake in new lymph node locations in pelvis. the radiotherapy failed, and preclude more treatment on new nodal areas. (according to Docs.) So expect to add to ADT, abi or enza or darolutamide in a short while, with PSA going up on a fast double.

CV and Bone Health when ADT is a treatment option.
Thought this provided a useful framework to guide discussion with my medical team when discussing whether or not and what to do about CV and bone health when starting on ADT. https://www.urotoday.com/conference-highlights/eau-2024/eau-2024-prostate-cancer/151136-eau-2024-synchronous-mhspc-what-are-the-treatment-options-and-what-are-the-goals-of-treatment-what-to-test-before-start-of-hormonal-treatment-and-what-to-monitor.html

Treatment options
I am 47 years old diagnosed with PC last month with Gleason score 9(5,4) and was advised ADT treatment with Bicalutamide and followed by Lupron 30 mg after two weeks. PSA was 77 in Jan and dropped to 23 after starting ADT treatment and already feeling better with much less urinary symptoms. I was advised

What is done in this case ? ADT not working
In may of 2011 the PSA and Biopsy showed that I had an agressive cancer with Gleason 8 so my prostate was extracted and after this I received radiotherapy. Since during the following 9 years my psa continued very low, I suspended checking it and last september I received the surprise that it had increased

darolutamide monotherapy experience?
If you’ve had darolutamide mono therapy, I’m interested in your experience with effectiveness and side effects, especially compared to ADT like Lupron.

3 Abiraterone tabs in place of 4.
Warriors Some time back I posted that my MO had told me to take 3 Abiraterone tablets with 5 mg Prednisone daily instead of 4 to help with an out of control Blood Pressure problem. I was worried (as were some of the responses) that this could impact the ADT therapy. Recently had blood work done

Testosterone Recovery: Orgovyx vs Lupron, Part-II
Here's another plot summarizing data from a 2020 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine by Neil Shore, et al. that shows Orgovyx has much faster "ON" and "OFF" changes in testosterone levels, compared to Lupron. This plot compares the percentage of men who recover their testosterone (defined

Radiation & Underactive Bladder
Does anyone on this forum have an Underactive Bladder and has also undergone prostate radiation treatments? I will be starting a series of 34 radiation treatments coupled with a 6-month hormone therapy (orgovyx) program. Less than 6 years ago I chose RP over radiation as primary treatment for my PCa

If PSA is Suppressed by Doublet ADT, Will Salvage IMRT Cause a PSA Rise?
Hello everyone, My husband is nearing completion of his extended pelvic salvage IMRT with boost to retrocaval lymph nodes. His radiation oncologist said it may take several months before the psa calms down, so he would like to see him in July. My question is that, since he is already undetectable due

Does NSAIDS reduce ADT effectiveness?
Hello I have a question about taking NSAIDS while on ADT - up to now I have only used tylenol - I had read somewhere that NSAIDS subtract some effectiveness of the hormone therapy and I have avoided it - but with the amount of inflammation after 8 months, I would like to use some - primarily to let

Docetaxel Failing
Greetings from Inverness in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland! I would like to share my journey with you and hopefully get some advice on future treatments. In December 2022 following diagnoses of advanced prostate cancer with multiple bone metastasis I started zytiga + prednisone and 6 monthly triptorelin

Pancreas problems after RT for prostate
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago. Received radiotherapy and hormone therapy. My PSA levels have dropped and progress seems OK. I have also had M.E. and fibromyalgia for over 25 years and, as part of that, IBS. Since starting the hormone therapy and radiotherapy I became more and more

DEXA sooner that 2 years?
Has anyone who took ADT for 18 months gotten a DEXA reimbursed or denied by Medicare if the repeat scan was sooner than 2 years? It seems that if easily falls under "medically necessary" because of the damage ADT can do to bone health, but I can't get a straight answer from Medicare. Thanks for any
