Testosterone Levels
My husbands testosterone level is suppressed to 10 and 2.5 free. He's on Lupron and Casodex. Are these levels low enough?

Introduction - 56 years old, stage 4 - bone mets, lymph node and likely lung involvement
Hello Everyone, it is great to be part of this group. I have been suffering pelvic pain for close to three years and very unfortunately, went to a urologist who diagnosed me with pudendal neuralgia. I was treated for a year and one half and when the pain did not improve, I had a pelvic MRI. It clearly

Chemical vs surgical ADT.....
I read so much on here about ADT with Lupron, Casodex or whatever. I had an Orchedectomy shortly after diagnosis, so when my PSA starts to climb would adding an ADT regimen help me??? There's some topics on here about casturation but mostly just chemicle casturation. My PSA started to climb a year

Casodex and Mystery of Testosterone
Casodex increases testoserone while decreasing PSA. However, since I am on Casodex 150mg/day monotherapy, beginning in October 2015; my testosterone scores NG/DL are: 1/22/16 - 505 5/16/16 - 717 8/12/16 - 703 10/13/16 - 542 3/28/17 - 493 My PSA NG/ML levels were: 8/12/16 - 7.8 10/13/16 - 6.7 2/16/17

First Chemo and Lupron
I received my first chemo and lupron shot on March 30th. I must say I had a pleasant experience at the MD Anderson Center in Cooper Hosp Camden, NJ. My onc said that being on casodex 50mg for 7 days lowered my PSA from 435 to 210. The side effects so far is mainly fatigue. I make it a point to be as

Dr. Edward Friedman - The Man Who Claims PCa is Caused by Estradiol
I read his book and he states that the aromatization of testosterone into estradiol causes PCa. He bases some of his conclusions on Lebowitz Triple Androgen Blockade..if you combine the theories of Friedman...Leibowitz...BAT...a protocol to control PCa and prevent CRPC would be: 12 months of Lupron +

ADT failure and measuring testosterone
I know at least one man who "failed" ADT (Lupron) and was thought to be "castration resistant". In fact however, when he got his testosterone measured it was 87 when the target number for his ADT treatment was 20. So he wasn't castration resistant at all. His problem was that the Lupron wasn't doing

Live like you are dying.
Live Like you are dying. This song by Tim McGraw has a lot of meaning to me for many reasons. In 1999 Elizabeth and I met and started our journey together. She was 33 with 3 children, I was 58 . How we met is another story. I decided if I wanted her in my life, I had to take everything that came with

Prostate Cancer & Hormones - Prolactin
Evolution has given hormones promiscuous roles in the body. A particular hormone may be involved in a number of unrelated functions. Prolactin, as one might guess, is a hormone mostly associated with milk production, but it has various roles in the male body too. In addition, the prostate has prolactin

Autoschizis - A Novel Cell Death In Cancer Cells
Apatone was granted FDA approval as an orphan drug. Even though Apatone is considered a drug you can buy a supplement called ProsStay .....somehow even though Apatone is patented ProsStay is Apatone sold as an over the counter supplement. I am going to stack ProsStay, Zyflamend, Casodex, Metformin, Avodart

Chemo+ radiation+combo hormone therapy
Hi all, My father is on his third cycle of taxotere and recently switched doctors within the same practice (language, scheduling, and one doc being out). I recall the first doctor noting that at some point my dad would go off casodex and just have Lupron and zomeda and that he didn't need to have radiation
