Started BAT on my 75th birthday after 11 years on ADT 3 will be posting my full history over the next several weeks and results later.
Told uro I wanted to add
Avodart
because of info I read on CHB with refrences to Charles Maack and Snuffy Meyers. Uro said I read too much. I said you're fired! Have been with Med onc at cancer center since. More later Bigdon

Avodart Offers No Benefit During Off Phase of IADT
Here we go again...This result is opposite of what Myers has stated... https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00553878

Avodart - Arimidex - and PCa
The 2 papers below show why it makes sense to take
Avodart
and Arimidex as part of any ADT protocol.

Time To failure
I think the guys who have had success with Lupron therapy remaining effective for years are worth examining...what is the common denominator...so far I have talked to 53 long term Lupron survivors and the following protocol keeps coming up as a common denominator.....Lupron,
Avodart
, Metformin, Arimidex

A-Fib and Metastasis, Taurine and Arginine?
I have been on a 12 month holiday from hormonal treatment other than
Avodart
and Metformin but I will probably start a second round of estrogen patches shortly, my PSA has risen to 2.75 from a low of 0.08 a year ago. Thanks for you advise, jal

Stopping Avodart
I have been taking
Avodart
(now Dutasteride) for years, he said to stop taking it as it does no good. Is that an accurate assessment? Ed Roge

Question For The Board
I just read a study where Casodex +
Avodart
was just as effective as Lupron in controlling PCa. So, why take Lupron when you can take Casodex +
Avodart
and lessen so many of the side effects of Lupron therapy.

Bicalutamide (Casodex) plus Dutasteride (Avodart)
The rationale behind the combination of Casodex &
Avodart
was articulated in a 2009 paper [2]: "Bicalutamide blocks androgen action in men with prostate cancer but has low affinity for the androgen receptor compared to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Sex steroid induced apoptosis as a rational strategy to treat anti-hormone resistant breast and prostate cancer.
I wouldn't use T without taking
Avodart
to limit conversion to DHT (& Arimidex to limit estradiol). T levels were all over the place, with all but one over 400 ng/dL, but the aim was for supraphysiologic levels. Don't know why, since there are only so many androgen receptors.

AFTER RADIATION--SUCCESS!
My PSA has even dropped from 5.57 to 4.20 I'll still have the fatigue and other side effects from Xtandi, Xgeva and
Avodart
, but they're insignificant, compared to how I've been feeling previously.

Dr. Myers "Aging With Prostate Cancer"
Myers' Castration-Lite is
Avodart
+ Casodex. i.e. no Lupron, etc. I was surprised that some do very well on it long-term. I remember reading that Casodex was approved as monotherapy in Germany, & thinking that was odd.

5TH RADIATION, PSA UP SLIGHTLY
I also remain on 120 mg Xtandi, a monthly injection of Xgeva and daily
Avodart
, along with daily Cialis (to help with urination---Flomax didn't work for me).

Xtandi, Xgeva, and Dental
Then tried Casodex and
Avodart
combo, which sort of controlled the cancer for nearly 3 years and did restore some of my energy. Back to Lupron, which at this point was moderately effective for 2 years, but the PSA started rising again, rather rapidly to 136.
