DEXA sooner that 2 years?
Has anyone who took ADT for 18 months gotten a DEXA reimbursed or denied by Medicare if the repeat scan was sooner than 2 years? It seems that if easily falls under "medically necessary" because of the damage ADT can do to bone health, but I can't get a straight answer from Medicare. Thanks for any

Adrenal insufficiency after stopping ADT & steroids. My 72 year old husband had radical, robotic surgery 7 years ago. PSAs were 0 until 2 years ago, then barely detectable. Had the special PET scan, 3 spots lit up in lymph nodes, (in the area, none remote.) Had 6.5 weeks radiation therapy. Had 2 years

as I read the post here I am struck by the bravery and never give up attitudes of the men who share their stories here. I have not faced hardly any of the difficulties I read about yet I have already made up my mind that I’m going to stop treatment and enjoy what time I have left . Am I just a wiener

Please help us decide on next treatment
Hi, my Dad was diagnosed back in 2021 with stage IV, Gleason 9, oligometastatic. He had 6 weeks of radiation at the time of diagnosis and has been for the past 2.5 years on Abiraterone, Prednisone and Lupron. As I mentioned in my prior post my Dad’s PSA started going up. He had a PSMA Pet scan and it

"FAN-( )UCKIG-TASTIC RESULTS"
A prostate cancer brother who ask me to return to HU (blame him ;), recently asked me about my T levels. Mid-day today I texted him the results which came in while on a coffee break following my morning of most excellent spring skiing. He texted back what I have used for the topic of this post. Yes

HRT question
Hello, I've been on oestrogen and progesterone HRT since last summer and it's making me feel a great deal better generally. But I've found that during the two weeks of the cycle where I'm not on the progesterone, I get very anxious. Is there any way of taking the progesterone all month? I'm on two progesterone

Side effects from Xtandi monotherapy?
after failing multiple times on regular ADT plus SBRT and finally failing LU– 177 and Provenge, my PSA went on the rise again. I’ve been on mono Xtando for six weeks and not feeling well despite trying to exercise heavily. Going in for bloodwork tomorrow. What kind of labs should I ask for? Anyone

Embark study
Hi friends, When the Embark study came out, and the FDA approved Xtandi for its use, my MO was enthusiastic that I add Xtandi to my intermittent ADT treatment. What I'm wondering is, I can certainly understand that adding Xtandi to the intermittent ADT treatment delays average time to metastasis, but

Wake up please and you will understand.
Last year I was a mess, my ocd hit high levels but alot of that was because I came off valium cold turkey and it gave me a massive physical and psychological major major battle, that breakdown taught me alot my friends and I hope this will serve you well. I suffered and still do at times when stressed

Prostate cancer radiotherapy side effects.
I’m a seventy seven year old who had a radical prostatectomy eight years ago. Following one of my regular PSA tests the result showed, after scans in September 2023, a return in the prostate bed and adjacent lymph nodes. Began hormone implants straight away followed by twenty doses of targeted radiotherapy

Zoladex - pre-fibroid removal

Why do MO's continue to prescribe Lupron ADT for Castrate-Resistant men?
I've never understood why MO's continue to prescribe Lupron ADT (or equivalent ) for men who are
castrate-resistant (CRPC
). Isn't that the definition of CRPC, namely, that ADT is no longer working for those men? Why continue to prescribe a drug that no longer works and that causes such suffering

Losing my pubic hair
Recently I noticed that the skin on my inner legs in the crotch area under my scrotum turned brown and then started to peel like a sunburn. The exposed skin is a healthly pink hue and no longer brown but I lost my pubic hair from this area. Surprisingly the size and shape on the brown spots was very

length of zoladex and tobelone- side effects felt?
I have been having zoladex injections since November once a month. They advised HRT in Jan due to me experiencing headaches/hot flushes and brain fog (which at the time was the worst) . Since then the mood changes have been a lot to deal with feeling unhappy and down. My sleep pattern is interrupted
