First post-ADT vacation PSA test
I just had the first PSA test after restarting Lupron in August. It was my second vacation and was about a year long. My PSA is now 0.3 so it seems I’m still castrate sensitive. My PSA has come down more quickly than it did after my first vacation. And almost as important is that the side effects are

The entire world is in an anxiety meltdown particularly in America! Hearts don't go out of rhythm for no reason
Having had 10 cardioversions and two ablations that left me a shell of my former self and medically traumatised me and damaged my heart, I implore you all to look deeper within yourself and attend to any old trauma from childhood any time in your life that has contributed to your carrying fear worry

PSA hovering around 1 even after a year on ADT + Enza, should we insist on Triplet Therapy ?
Hi All, My Father was diagnosed with Advanced PCa with extensive bone mets but no visceral spread last November. His PSA at dx was 325 and Gleason was 4+5 with all cores positive. His treatment started off with 10 sessions of Palliative RT followed by combination of Degarelix + Enzaluatmide + Denosumab

Question for the Brain Trust, what am I missing!
I want to thank everybody who replied to my earlier question regarding a treatment decision. I got my PSMA results back today and it showed no spread or evidence of distant metastic disease. All seems contaimed to the Prostate. No nodal or bone spread. However I do have Gleason 8 ( 3+5) and "likely

Stay or Go
3-1/2 years of ADT +Zytiga, Prednisone, and Xgeva and I've developed Osteopenia, and near Osteoporosis (-2.3) in femoral neck, (-1.5 spine and hip) and fractured T11 vertebra . My thoughts are that this is directly related to the ADT. My question is, with a psa at 0.21 is an ADT vacation a good idea,

Does PSA settle after treatment?
Before I was diagnosed, so long as my PSA was within the acceptable range, (59 yrs - less than 3.5) I was considered healthy. But now the goal is to maintain a really low PSA ( undetectable or less than 1) How will I ever know if it will naturally stabilise if I keep on ADT? Thoughts? DD 😎.

Phase 2 EXTEND randomised trial finds adding metastasis directed therapy with radiation to intermittent hormone therapy improves outcomes.
Howard Sandler, MD, Chair of the Department of Radiation Oncology at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, California, and president-elect of ASTRO, noted that the current study shows a substantial delay in time to progression with MDT. “I was surprised pleasantly with the magnitude of the effect,” Dr Sandler

Castrate Resistant Pre-Indicator
While you were on ADT, did you notice fewer or shorter term side effects to the shots as your treatment progressed? Could that be an indication that you were becoming castrate resistant? I am noticing that I am not experiencing as much fatigue and fewer hot flashes than I used to. I am about 18 months

The next morning, I arrive at the center to meet

Recently started low dose atorvastatin. I have seen journal articles showing it can make it worse, no affect and improve outcomes if started AFTER starting ADT. Opinions?
