Delay date for Lupron injection
I am due to get my third 6 monthly dose of Lupron injection in late May. I plan to travel during that time. Is there any harm if I should postpone the injection date by 2 or 3 weeks beyond the 6 months dateline?My PSA reading is currently below 0.1 ug/l. Secondly, I am contemplating going on ADT vacation

It's Back!
This post should be good for newbies also. This should show you guys how long you can go!Anyways, 13 years ago I was diagnosed with PCA Gleason 7 PSA 44. With spread outside of prostate. Did 39 treatments off radiation and have been mostly on ADT for the duration except during COVID I took a break

PSA still undectable
it’s been 4 months now since I didn’t have my ADT injection ( so 7 months since the last one). Continuing on Apalutamide as a monotherapy atm. Pleased to have experienced Christmas and a 3 week hol in Barbados with no bad news as Decembers have bed. Dodgy in the past. Back at work now - enjoyed

Agonists vs. antagonists (the latter not to be confused with a character in a novel!)
I know many of you on this site are beyond ADT, but for those who are still holding on in that space, I'd like to share my experience with the newer antagonists drugs, degarelix ( U.S. brand, Firmagon) and relugolix (U.S. brand, Orgovyx). I started ADT exactly 8 years ago this month and during my off-and-on

Add Nubeqa to Orgovyx?
Age 81. I had prostate radiation in 2021, and pelvic node radiation in 2023. PSA was 3.78 in Dec 2023. PSMA PET then showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, but spread to an abdominal node. I have started ADT with Orgovyx (relugolix) and want to add an ARI. The urologist wants

Unsure of best option in early prostate cancer diagnosis.
I have had PSA tests annually for 10 years and in Oct 2023 had an elevated 6.42 result. Was referred to a urologist, whom performed a DRE. There was prostate enlargement but no tumor discovered through DRE. After discussing several options, I decided to have a biopsy on Nov 21, 2023. Dec 5, 2023,

ADT & Mets
Quick question. Let's say that you have Mets and don't know it. You think the PCa is contained because our last Pet-scan 2 months earlier said so. Are we wasting time going onto ADT if that treatment is mainly for contained PCa? Or will the ADT put a lid on the Mets wherever they are in our body?

AlteraAI test
Has anyone tried the AlteraAI test that uses AI to analyze the tumor samples and can predict the risk of developing metastatic disease after radiation for localized tumor with or without ADT. It has just been approved by Medicare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6UOmj7z8Jw&t=10s&ab_channel=ProstateForumofOrangeCounty
