Triplet and now Radiation?
Original PSA was around 9 and put on
Casodex
for month, then Lupron every 3 months, plus Darolutamide. Just completed 6 sessions of chemo with Docetaxel. Got call from RO yesterday and they want to do radiation now. Of course I trust my medical team but curious of HU opinions on this path.

HELP NEEDED
I also took either
casodex
or Fluetimide pills, along with Dutastreride for maximum effect. I started
casodex
4 or so days before each start up with lupron, then stay on all 3 throughout each cycle.

Dad Diagnosed w/Advanced Prostate Cancer - PSA of 4800 - Question about biopsy?
He is taking
Casodex
(Bicalutamide) now and just had his first Firmagon injection yesterday. He is very tired and weak today. Eventually, he will start the Darolutamide pill and then chemo for 6 months. However, he has not yet had a biopsy - it is scheduled for tomorrow.

Is it worth it?
They started me on
Casodex
and Lupron and I have 26 planned radiation treatments next month. Lupron has been a nightmare. After about three weeks, I started getting heart problems where my resting heart rate, normally 60-65, goes to 150-180. This happens about twice a day.

Battling two cancers on two fronts, simultaneously
After lupron/lusinipril for years, I began
Casodex
. Bad reaction, switched to Zytiga. That affected my liver enzymes, so on to Xtandi. It worked well. So, this last August a lump was found under my jaw at the lymph node. This was confirmed as Neuroendocrine PCa.

Orgovyx + Abiaterone?
(On
Casodex
to avoid initial T flare.) Wants to make sure doing ok on this ADT and then add Abiaterone. RT in 2 months. MO said that Orgovyx + Abiaterone is not an option by NCCN guidelines, could be interaction issues (paraphrasing).

Long Journey
Started with
casodex
, Lupron. A few months later, brachytherapy then 42 sessions of EBRT. Over the years PSA would rise, and I would be put on Lupron for 18-24 months. In 2017, PSA started rising fast. Brought an MO into the mix. I was placed on Lupron, Xgeva and Erleada (apalutamide).

PSA analysis 6 months after radiation
I also was on
Casodex
for one month prior to the start of Lupron to lessen the flare. At 3 months post radiation PSA and Testosterone were not detectable. It is my understanding that the lingering effect of Lupron on reducing PSA could last up to at least double the time you were on Lupron.

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
A repeat psa on 12/5/23 revealed his psa had risen to .273 (so a definite biochemical occurence).My husband's surgical oncologist at Yale immediately referred him to a Medical Oncologist who started him on
Casodex
followed by Lupron two weeks later.

What’s the pros and cons of Casodex and Lupron as the only treatment for Gleason 4+5 (9).
August 1, 2023 the doctor started me on
Casodex
, in one week and my PSA went from 100 down to 50. I get my PSA checked this Thursday August 31st and a 3 month dose/injection of Lupron. My question is, will
Casodex
and Lupron kill the PC cancer? How long will I have to take these drugs?

Just joined the club no one wants to be a member of in April 2023 - can Gleason 9 be cured ?
The highest my PSA has ever been was 5.48 in December 2022 and it dropped to .09 with Testosterone of 14 in August two months after a shot of Eligard and 3 months of
Casodex
. Since then I have had 48 seeds planted via Brachytherapy and I am about to start EBRT.
