Treatment options
I am 47 years old diagnosed with PC last month with Gleason score 9(5,4) and was advised ADT treatment with
Bicalutamide
and followed by Lupron 30 mg after two weeks. PSA was 77 in Jan and dropped to 23 after starting ADT treatment and already feeling better with much less urinary symptoms.

palliative radiation treatment questions
He has gone off Goserelin (ADT) injection and now just on
bicalutamide
pills. As his testosterone seems to have returned, he’s now having more energy and sleeping less. His PSA has also dropped from 115 to 76 in the last month.

Hypogonadism, heat flushing, and testosterone replacement
It predates my cancer diagnosis, so it has nothing to do with the
bicalutamide
I took during the radiation process, and I've never had any of the other ADT hormones that often cause heat flushing.

1 month vs 3 month HT injections
The RO wants me to start on 14 days of
Bicalutamide
tablets, then 3 monthly injections of Eligard. So I have a few questions; 1: I remember someone mentioning on this forum that monthly injections are easier to tolerate compared to injections every 3 months.

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?

Friend in need of help
Doctors at the hospital recommended the following: IV Decadron 4mg 4x/day which started on 1/3'
Bicalutamide
50mg once a day for 14 days Lupron after 2 weeks No surgeries due to his age. He is high risk for paralysis. He set up an appointment with an Oncologist for 1/15.

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking
Bicalutamide
50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection.

Antiandrogen Withdrawal Syndrome After Stopping Enzalutamide in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Two Case Reports & Review
This was initially described for older agents, such as flutamide,
bicalutamide
, and nilutamide; moreover, before the approval of enzalutamide and abiraterone, this phenomenon could be used to postpone the beginning of chemotherapy in mCRPC [7]. AAWS after enzalutamide is not well established.

Adding second line hormonal therapy?
It will most probably be Zytiga but I have read that sometimes in the past
Bicalutamide
(Casodex) was added to Zoladex for certain time in similar cases. What's the general opinion about that nowadays?

What comes after, what comes next?
Lupron twice a year,
Bicalutamide
, failed at 7 months, Xtandi failed at 4 months, currently on Zytiga. We met with my dad’s oncologist on 4/24. My Dad’s PSA dropped from 2.47-1.46 and pain has been improving.

dropped bicalutamide added Zytiga
lupron and
bicalutamide
for one month. PSA dropped 300/33 testosterone dropped 650/20. Then another month of treatment.(no PSA yet ) Five days ago stopped
bicalutamide
and added Zytiga. Sexual interest/function seems to have returned. Is this coincidence or an issue with meds??

Update: PSA after IMRT
After my 40 treatments, I wanted to get off the
bicalutamide
I had been on for 2 months. My breasts had not only gotten enlarged but they had also become quite painful, and the Tamoxifen my RO had put me on did not help with this.
