Zeulide (Lupron) and Abdominal Pain
Is severe upper abdominal pain common when on Lupron? I'm at Stage 4a (cancer has spread to abdominal lymph nodes), currently in remission (latest PSA count was 0.01). I've been on ADT for two years; first on Lupron Depot, then (and now) on Zeulide. I experience ongoing upper abdominal pain, with intense

ADT and muscle joint pain
See my treatment history in my profile. Currently, my only treatment is quarterly Elligard since 3/21. PSA is currently undetectable as of 1 week ago. Over the past year, I have definitely felt some effects of fatigue. Not as much "get up and go" as I once had, but it has not been debilitating.

COVID treatment for ADT PC
Taking Zytiga Prednisone. I’ve been offered Monoclonal infusion. Wondering if anyone has any experience. Or anything else that works or doesn’t work. Thanks

The effect of L-thyroxine hormone therapy on hearing loss in hypothyroid patients
We have had numerous posts which have questioned whether ear/hearing issues are (or can be) associated with hypothyroidism. This accessible paper, despite having a small number of subjects, is pretty clear that there is much association. Two sentences: "The most common symptom of hypothyroidism with

In year 7 the ups and downs are down again
Four years ago my PSA came back and a non-SOC PSMA PET scan found one lesion on my spine at T9. My local doctor refused to treat based on the non-SOC scan, MD Anderson declined, and I ended up at Mayo in Rochester for SBRT, one session. Two years of ADT, and two years of vacation brings me here

I have an appointment tomorrow with Dr. Aggarwal to discuss the prospect of LU 177 so would get as much information on the following as possible before that. I have been on ADT for some time now (now orchiectomy and Aberaterone) and have been monitoring my PSA to determine if the current treatment

Fatigue and muscle loss
Then 73 years old with PSA 11.3, I was diagnosed with T3b prostate cancer in February 2021. Surgery not a realistic option because of the spread into one of the seminal vesicles, so opted for EBRT and ADT (Zoladex). EBRT (60Gy in 20 doses) completed mid December, last Zoladex implant in January, and

Advanced PCa & Kidney Disease
I'm getting a CT scan soon to follow up on my ADT failure. They are concerned that there may be sign of kidney disease. It seems like it's relatively common in PCa warriors, so I'm presuming people have experience. I just checked on the kidney disease symptoms and I seem to have most of them. My onco

Should i include docetaxel with lupron +darolutamide.
My PSA =15 naïve ADT. Had RP, and RT. 5 lymph node locations 3 in pelvic 1 in chest 1 in clavicle. Ive read the trial results but they don’t include ADT+darolutamide with docetaxel. Im 64 and healthy with no symptoms. I was thinking in lieu of chemo, I could include a 5aReductase inhibitor RAD-140

Wondering which arm of STAMPEDE dictated my 18 to 16 month ADT plus Zytiga treatment plan ?
I have “ low metastatic load “ based on a clean PSMA -PET scan but I am high risk based on PSA 61 ( I was Gleason 6 on only biopsy in 2009 ) and “ probable” seminal vesicle EPE . Taking Avodart for ten years and doing many lifestyle changes per Snuffy Meyers kept my PSA low for a decade but when I

I learned of my prostate cancer metastasis about ten years ago in 2012, which was four years after radiation therapy to my prostate in 2008, following a urinary blockage and biopsy Gleason 8.

Any association between rising PSA and falling T during BCR?
To recap briefly - 65YO, G9 PCa, RP in '16 followed by RT/ADT. BCR in '18...detected in pelvic LNs via PSMA clinical trial. Then RT to that region and 18 months of ADT. No treatment since that ended June '20. Undetectable PSA from Jan '19 thru Oct '21. PSA creeping up from 0.03 in Oct '21 to 0.20 in

Preventing Drug Resistance - Thinking Outside The Box - PRINT Phase 2 Study
One of the biggest challenges of PCa treatment is eventual drug resistance. I've been thinking that maybe Oncologists may have their thinking locked in a box. This is understandable as most take a conservative approach probably, recommending what is "tried and true." So to speak. So I was thinking,
