Questions about ADT drugs and insurance
Will Medicare cover Lupron injections under part B as it is not self administered (as opposed to pills)? If so how much will they cover (with a supplement plan). Regarding Orgovyx, since it is a pill and not an injection will it be covered under Medicare part D drug coverage? and if so do all of the

Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
Hello guys! I wanted to give a little update on my dad. He was diagnosed stage four prostate cancer in June 2015, with a PSA of 257 and a single lymph node involved. His prostate was so enlarged at the time that he had to have double nephrostomy bags. He started hormone therapy and chemo immediately

Blood work on radiation and Lupron
I am sure this has probably been discussed before but I could not find an answer. How long after initial radiation should you wait to get a valid PSA test? Background Started Lupron 6 weeks prior to radiation and Casodex one week before that to reduce the spike of testosterone. Next week will be my

Need some advice on what tools are still in the toolbox
Hi everybody, it’s been a while since I posted but I’m looking for some advice.

FYI, I had my prostate removed in July 2019 Gleason 9, PSA 12. I’ve run the gambit

CDK12
I am curious to know how treatments are going with the few men who harbor CDK12 mutations. My husband has this mutation. He is in year 6 from diagnosis. 2017 he had Prostate removed … Gleason 8… clear margins at time of surgery. 6 months later PSA began to rise. He was put on Casodex/Lupron and had 39

Casodex after castration resistance?
After being undetectable on mono HT (Zoladex) for 67 months my dad's PSA started climbing in December 2022. In March it was 0.05. His testosterone level also rose from 0.6 to 1.2. The doctor recommended to add Casodex. After a month, in April his PSA was 0.024 and testosterone was 0.9. I have two questions

Casodex
Is anyone doing only Casodex for their ADT together with their salvage rad? Are there any disadvantages for a six month course? Seems like it would make T recovery less of a problem.

No Longer Undetectable, PSMA-CT Results
I posted a few days ago about the fact that my husband had been undetectable since his prostate was removed in April of 2021. And then on 3/31 his PSA was 6.3 and on 4/03 it was 7.1. The oncologist ordered a PSMA-CT scan and that was done today. The oncologist's PA called us with the results and she
