Great news, I can stop taking Lupron
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 ππππ. 12 months ago I went to the

PSA after restarting ADT
I restarted ADT with Eligard on August 31 2020 when my PSA was 0.453 and Testosterone 147. Today my PSA is 0.266 and Testosterone < 20. When I started Lupron + Casodex in November 2018 my PSA was 4.48, which dropped to 0.17 in just three months. This time, why the rate of PSA drop is much slower? During

Along the way I have had Brachi, Prevenge and some blind clinical trials. Here is my question: my MOC is thinking of

Would it work when we go back to the old treatment again? Your input would be appreciated.
I am asking this question as I am curious as to whether or not the old treatment is workable after you have used up all other treatments. For example, Lupron and Casodex (frontline) were used at first diagnosis. After all other treatments like zytiga, xstandi, etc. are castration-resistant, would it

PSA back on the rise - or hitting Nadir?
Hi everyone. I'm hoping to tap back into the wisdom of this crowd. First DX in 2009 with Gleason 3+4/PSA 3.7. Had HDR Brachy and Low-Dose EBRT with Casodex. All good (nadir of 0.11) for 6 years, then BCR. I started Prostap injections \= \\bicalutamide 50 mg in Jan 2020 when PSA was >5. A sudden drop

Want to learn about lupron and casodex
I have been doing watchful waiting for 15 years. My Urologist did a TURP operation and the pathology said gleason 3/5. My Doc wants me to do Casodex to start. I have read that any kind of T deprivation can cause weight gain, man boobs, lethargy and heart problems. I have always been a skinny hyper active

Husband diagnosed with APC in 2017 aged 49 yrs. Been through chemo, casodex, abiterone. PSA now rising after 10 months on Xtandi. Oncologist has suggested he is a good candidate for a clinical trial where his original samples are sent to USA for profiling. Unfortunately I was not able to be at this appointment

How's your whiskers after ADT?
I've been on Casodex and Eligard for about 10 months now. My beard has virtually stopped growing and my skin is pushing out ingrown hairs. I was wondering how others on ADT are fairing with their whiskers, π€ DD.

Have Any of You Been Prescribed Casodex to Increase PSMA Expression Prior to LU-177.
Charlie is still hormone sensitive. I thought I had read that some clinics prescribe an ADT drug to cause PSMA expression to increase to enhance the treatment. My husband is getting his first treatment this Monday at Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Delhi, India. For those of you having a difficult
