Long term ADT bone loss mitigation tips?
My post RP BCR was diagnosed 8 months ago when they said, "you will be on ADT the rest of your life". I am on Lupron and abiraterone 4 months now. I am taking 1000mg of calcium per day and 2000IU of D3 per day. If I am lucky enough to last years, what else can I do to prevent the loss of bone? Thanks

ADT SE’s
I had a 6 month Lupron shot in April last year. I experienced all the typical SE the worst being the hot flashes at night. I am following the Ssport protocol for a biological reoccurrence. Basically a 6 month adt with 39 radiation treatments last year. Current labs show undetectable PSA with a slow

One month of Orgovyx completed
Just a quick update for those Brothers on, or considering ADT with, Orgovyx. Today I started the second month of my 6 month sentence. As of today I have had virtually no side effects. I purposely lost 8 pounds prior to going on it, and today the scale says I am down another pound. Just back

Does ADT work for Gleason 9?
About to start ADT for Gleason 9 (5+4) for locally advanced prostate cancer, followed by IMRT in 1-2 months. (Plan to ask about HDR boost). PSMA Pet negative for spread but MO had another radiologist look at initial prostate MRI suggests extracapsular extension along neurovascular bundle with possible

Anger
Good morning, I had seen here recently some comments on anger and how ADT increases it. This is the first I've read about this, and it makes sense as I look back, I have developed anger issues. Question, is it anger from just being in this messed up situation, ADT for a decade, and just feeling the

Into the Great Unknown
Well, I just wrapped up two years of ADT (Lupron and Xtandi) on top of 36 rounds of radiation, and a RARP. At 57 when diagnosed (PSA 5.2, Gleason 4+3, one affected pelvic lymph node per PSMA PET scan), our plan was to throw the kitchen sink at my PCa and see if we can’t knock it out. Here I am at 59

Drugs interactions
I am on Lupron as the only current PC treatment. Testosterone is <>1% as of Dec/18. PCP is looking to get me on (very expensive , hard to get) Serostim to help me with HIV/PC wasting SE's Thoughts, please be kind as ADT makes me get upset for nothing. Thank you.

Criteria for "my ADT has stopped working and we have to move to another"
Hello - So my third post ADT initiation (Lupron+Abi) PSA test is coming up and since it was <.1 six weeks ago, I asked how the criteria of “has stopped working” works -to my Hopkins MO and I got this - “We want to declare a therapy no longer effective when PSA is clearly going up. We look for 0.3

restricted urinary flow
Finished IMRT/ SBRT radiation to lymph nodes last week. Since then Ive begun have early AM restricted urinary flow - Very narrow stream. Rad Onc suggested tamsulosin or ibuprophen. MO, tamsulosin. Any work around for the early AM problem that I could take overnight? Ibuprophen has to be taken all

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping

Still confused about PSA and Testosterone testing
I have been reading posts here for some time and there seems to be a split between those who only get PSA tests each time they go to their doctors and those that get both tests each time. I had a baseline testosterone test before Lupron and before radiation. I am now doing my 6 month follow up and

Thanks and hope to all
No questions …just wanted to thank everyone for all your input and support …especially during the holidays. Had my Christmas radiation treatment yesterday and 7 of 15 linac dose today.. Brachytherapy prior with ADT for the last 7 months. Things seem to be going as smoothly as it sometimes does. Appreciate

CBC test anemia: high MCV, MCH, low RBC and leukocytes?
Writing for my partner, who is exhausted and down after 5 months ADT and 28x radiation. Returning home he went for CBC, and it came back high MCV MCH, low RBC and leukocytes. His primary w/0 knowledge of cancer tx says nothing. I'm not content with this, I hate to see my partner so tired and unenthused
