Flomax and Avodart
A question: is it safe to take Flomax and
Avodart
to improve urine flow? I am tired of having to get up to pee 7 or 8 times a night.

Avodart added to my treatment regimen. I am Leary of it.
My MO prescribed bicalutamide and
avodart
after my 20 rounds of SBRT. My PSA went up to 21 after the SBRT. The bicalutamide I understand. I am leary of the
avodart
. I am concerned that it will mask PSA rise from cancer. Any thoughts on this?

Dustasteride (avodart)
My doc has prescribed this drug for benign prostatic hyperplasia. I need help with urinary frequency, urgency, and frequent night time urination. It is too early to tell if the drug is helping. It can three to six months to have the desired effect of reducing prostate swelling. I am posting because

PSA suppression
While testosterone will convert to dihydrotestosterone [DHT] in the absence of
Avodart
, say, DHT is one's friend - until it isn't, imo. As with the vitamin D conversion of 25-D to 1,25-D, the presence of the strong hormone triggers its decay in prostatic cells.

Limbo period after BCR post RP and SRT and prior to PSA enough for PSMA PET?
It seems odd to just sit and let the disease run when perhaps there are some things I could do to slow the progression, like
Avodart
. OTOH I clearly have BCR so is it better in the long run to get to the scan/definitive Tx sooner than later? Or 3rd option - hit it hard w/ ADT3 now?

Anyone have a high testosterone after SBRT?
In September 2022 I had image guided SBRT utilizing ViewRay Technology for a 3+4 gleason grade, low decipher score, PSA 2.7 before treatment, on
Avodart
for BPH. Been monitoring PSAs and Testosterone every three months, and remaining on
Avodart

MRI guided radiation
(View Ray)Our US Prostate leader is recommending
Avodart
to keep the PSA down for as long as possible then Casodex until something better comes available. What are your thoughts on avoiding radiation. I have no problem watching PSA just don’t won’t it to metastasized. Thanks Mark

Uh... Oh... New Phase Awaits?
Avodart
worked for awhile. Eventually HT (Lupron + Casodex) in mid 2013. Worked great. Since then lengthy HT vacations 12/19/22-6/22/23 ---Orgovyx.

How Long To Discontinue 5-ARIs and/or Select Supplements to "Unmask" PSA?
I believe the general rule of thumb is on 5-ARIs like
Avodart
(Dutasteride) you are supposed to double the PSA reading to get the "real" PSA?

Is this a rare event?
Saw Tanya Dorff in USC and was put on triple hormone therapy with 90 day lupron. and Casodex and
Avodart
Dorff believed in intermittent therapy and was i was given a holiday from treatment if psa and testosterone were hormone sensitive between 9 months to a year until psa started its climb.

Dutasteride and Apalutamide
Is there any support for taking
Avodart
with Apalutamide to extend castrate sensitivity? I have been on Lupron/Apalutamide for >2 years now. Are there any studies that suggest Lu177 is effective in a castrate sensitive patient?

Wondering which arm of STAMPEDE dictated my 18 to 16 month ADT plus Zytiga treatment plan ?
Taking
Avodart
for ten years and doing many lifestyle changes per Snuffy Meyers kept my PSA low for a decade but when I stopped
Avodart
for a month 3 years ago PSA began to rise .

Avodart / Dutasteroid
We had a discussion about
Avodart
and he said he would consider a prescription if I could show him persuasive studies. The following 5 are the best I could find. Does anyone have a favorite study that helped them convince their MD to prescribe
Avodart
?

High intratumoral dihydrotestosterone is associated with antiandrogen resistance in VCaP prostate cancer xenografts in castrated mice
However, from what I know,
Avodart
will inhibit the final step that results in DHT. How often is Enzalutamide [Xtandi] resistance due to intratumor DHT? I don't know, but
Avodart
is an inexpensive safety play.
