Starting Adt
Again hello from Sweden! My husband is now starting Trelstar, every 6 month. He has already started Casodex 50 mg. He has got cardiac problems,stents. Currently he is taking Broccomax, but also baby Aspirin and a statin. Is it advisable for him to add Natto now? What about K2D3? Thinking of ADT worsening

Femara vs tamoxifen for gynecomastia
Femara was suggested to prevent gynecomastia while taking casodex, however it seems tamoxifen is overwhelmingly referenced on this board. Can either of these drugs affect PSA lowering results of casodex, and is tamoxifen preferred and if so why. Thanks as always for your support.

Zytiga Effects On Bloodwork
Hello all, I would appreciate feedback on interpretation of my husband’s latest blood test results.

? Should I stop casodex prior to PSMA Pet scan for better detection rate.
I am anticipating having PSMA Pet scan at UCLA in March. At 22 months post RP PSA has risen to .19 with a PSADT of <=3 mths. Per urologists, started casodex 50 mg 1x. After 23 days on casodex my PSA went to .14 from .19. I am considering stopping casodex for 2 months in the belief that the scan may

PSA raised rapidly after 2 months finishing chemo
My dad just took the PSA test and it increased from 0.29 to 1.16 and ALP of 134.2 U/L (40 - 129) after 2 months finishing chemo. He did this test for himself since his doctor askes him take the test after 3 months from chemo. With the above result, we think he need a treatment. -My dad had taken Casodex

ADT and growth of breasts
I was not a victim of breast enlargement during my first injection of Lupron or while on Casodex but I do not know if it is any indication that my breasts won't grow once I start ADT again in a few weeks. Did any of you experience growing breasts while under ADT? If yes, did they go away after treatment

PSA rising, won't be able to escape ADT. Any tips for brain-fog and depression handling?
Went to see my oncologist today. PSA is still rising. After my initial, and only so far, injection of Lupron in April, my PSA had gone down from 116 to 1.9 in May but I've never reached the non-detectable stage and stayed at around 2.2 for the whole summer. But from August onward, with Lupron out of

Casodex vs Zytiga
Three years into diagnosis, mastasized into bone. Casodex controlled PSA first year. PSA went up a little, switched to Extandi, had Provenge treatment. Also shots of Eligard. Then Zytiga. Rising PSA now. Has anyone gone back to Casodex. Doctor suggest Taxotere next, but I'm not keen on it. Weight 120

Wishing everyone a better 2021
Hi everyone, I wish everyone a wonderful 2021 and hope all our PSA's reduce or at least go down next year. For me, the COVID-19 2020 has been a good opportunity to get my APCa treatments out of the way. 12 months ago I prepared to go in for my prostate biopsy and TURP. I went in on 24 Dec 19 and

His only theraphy was hormone one - first casodex (bicalutamide) and now eligard every six month. Six months

My Oncologist told me today that based on my latest PSA reading (0.01) and scan results, to hold off having my next Eligard shot next month to see what happens to my PSA level. Effectively active surveillance. It was music to my ears, he told me to go on vacation 👏👏👏👏. 12 months ago I went to the
