Things I Like About ADT
I know that no one, like NO ONE, actually wants to be on ADT. There are a lot of downsides to it, and complaints about the fatigue, lack of sex drive, etc. are a common theme on this forum. I'm about a year out now from starting on Zoladex shots (a drug that works in the same way as Lupron), and I

High Potassium Levels?
I am just curious if anyone has had elevated potassium levels during or after PC treatment? Specifically Radiation and ADT. Hubby has dangerously high potassium levels, he has kidney disease so this is something that is watched. We even log all of our food and the Nephrologist is baffled by it-he doesn

ADT + Zytiga holiday???
I've been on Orgovyx since 8/15/22 and Zytiga since 4/1/23. I'm also suffering from neuropathy from nerve damage that occurred in December 22. The nerve pain has gotten worse and my oncologist and neurologist are wondering if ADT or Zytiga are too blame. Anyone have experience with these drugs and

HRT / zolodex / hormone treatment help
Hi all. I posted recently about my concerns regarding zolodex etc. I think my only next steps is a complete hysterectomy due to my issues. HOWEVER. That being said, everyone seems to manage better withHRT and I'm looking to speak with people who have never been able to tolerate any form of hormone treatment

castration after 7 years of ADT
I have been on Zoladex for nearly 7 years and am fully over any regrets of Chemical castration. My psa is now slowly rising and ghastly taken 2 years from undetectable to 0.65.

What a long strange road it's been.
Nov 2007 I had DaVinci surgery Gleason 7. I got the surgeon's notes and he said margins were clear, took s bunch of lymph glands, all clear. Held my dick in his hand and said it would come back. It did, but never quite lost the "happy bladder" and I shot pee about 50% of the time. PSA never went

Asking for advice
Since I first diagnosed with PC (T3bNx, GS 3+4)last February, 2023, I’ve been through RP, ADT and IMRT continuously. I had Firmagon shot twice before RP and switched ADT to Eligard. Then I started 25 sessions of IMRT. All the treatments was done within 3 and half months. Now I am exhausted. I am

Radiotherapy for prostate local and retroperitoneal nodes
ADT of lupron and abiraterone has been pretty tolerable so far, almost four months - maybe I got cocky. Started my SBRT 28 fraction 70 Gy radiotherapy four days ago, mild to moderate urinary urgency and some burn started almost immediately. Diarrhea started at night after day four, mild so far. How

Estrodiol and PC
My husband has been rediagnosed with NMPC he is on ADT which is holding the Testosterone very low but psa shot upto 82. New MO is starting Enzalutimide plus continuing ADT. Not looking forward to the side effects, but will perservere until psa drops. We have been discussing using Estradiol to help

Medical OR chemical castration
Hi All, Ok I am 79 and still in great physical condition. PR and ADT for 2 years. To date no unusual physical side effects other than zero sex drive. It looks as thought I will be on ADT until I die. PSA increasing monthly so I will try other chemicals. I want to remain in good shape until my number

18 mos ago, my husband was told by his dr. that he "most likely had two or three good years left." (WHY do they say stupid things like that?) I think that a lot of people believe whatever the dr. says and subconsciously program themselves accordingly. I, on the other hand, thought to myself, "We'll

How important is missing 2 months of ADT?
I'm one month into RT and ADT for 9 months. I chose monthly Eligard. The Urology office made a mistake and came in with a 3-month dose. When I told the nurse I had communicated my 1-month preference prior, she left the room. The Dr. came in, eyeballed the dosage, removed 2/3 and I received it. I was

Managing side effects of ADT
I have found that Richard Wassersug has many blog postings related to ways to manage ADT side effect on the LifeOnAdt.com website. I also found the new version of his book has a great section on dealing with relationship issues. It was very helpful in keeping my relationship with Coco on track when
