Undecided on ADT
Well, I have not searched about this for long, but while I wait to see if estrogen patches will be approved in europe for metastatic cancer, I am having doubts about switching from triptorelin (which did and is still doing its job) to relugolix. I know my MO first instinct will be saying "if it's working

Orgovyx /Degarelix, Time Risk - & Jail
"Compliance" with meds taking and timing is a big issue, as we all know. And research shows that especially with the elderly, compliance to meds regimes and timings by day and by week is difficult to follow. And the consequences are not good.

Dad’s 6 weekly psa shows a little rise compared to the one at 3 weeks - grateful for any thoughts.
Dad , 83 , was diagnosed in May with PSA 18 and bone mets as per PSMA scan. Initially the plan was to do lupron and he was started on bicalutamide 100 mg daily , which he took for 3 weeks uptil 7th June. But then we decided to go with relugolix and not lupron and the bicalutamide was stopped.

Help deciding on treatment
Discovered this forum a month ago and have found it to be a wealth of information, with very educated/informed members. Hoping that you can spread some of your wisdom and help my finalize my decision with treatment. I've posted more details in my profile as well as write ups from MSKCC on my Biopsy

Question
Was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer with several mets to the bones and a Gleason score of 10. This was in January 2023. I have been on darolutamide and relugolix since then and also 6 rounds of docetaxol. Everything was good until recently with an increase in PSA from non detectable

anyone takes relugolix and bitalucamide together ?
Does anyone take orgovyx and bicalutamide together. Dad was earlier prescribed lupron so the doc had started him on bicalutamide 100 mg a day. But then decided to go with orgovyx instead of Lupron. One MO says to stop the bicalutamide since starting relugolix and the other MO says to continue bicalutamide

how soon after starting Relugolix does one feel tired ?
Dad started on the loading dose of Relugolix ( orgovyx) yesterday. Today he says he feels a little tired. Does it affect so soon ?

Dexa scan report showing osteoporosis
Did a baseline Dexa scan report for dad who is 83 and with bone mets. Some areas like femur say osteoporosis. He does have mets there. Have started his ADT from today with relugolix. Worried about this dexa report. Would love to hear any inputs from those who had a similar situation.

Lupron - start with one month dose or 3 months ?
Dad , 83 , is to start with lupron soon. He has been on bicalutamide since two weeks. He is in good health generally and has not had heart issues apart from hypertension since many years , controlled by medicine. Doctor has advised 3 monthly lupron injections. But I was wondering if it would

is this what CR looks like?
Starting Nov 20 last year, I began a relugolix on-cycle. Here’s the PSA readings from that point: Nov 20 : 3.10 Jan 8: 0.31 Feb 27: 0.13 Apr 15: 0.08 So up to this point, the PSA is dropping nicely, as it always has with on-cycles; and as I would expect, since I’ve been a strong responder

Lupron - are there heart risks?
My father , 83 , recently got diagnosed with Prostate cancer with mets to some bones , as per PSMA test. We have not done a biopsy as one doctor said there is no need to do it as treatment options won’t change but another doctor says it’s good to do it in case later down the line we need to add treatments

10th year
Ten years ago I had my Gleason 9 prostate removed. PSA was .1 for a while. It crept up over .2, and I began taking lupron. The drug brought PSA back down to >.01 for a year or so. As the level started going up again, I received whole pelvis bed radiation, moving PSA to undetectable. After a year or so

Relugolix
Hi ladies,I was prescribed this drug last week and was looking for some reviews/experiences from those of you who have taken this medication. I know we all react differently to medications, but I am quite nervous to start it with it only being new to the market for endo/fibroids, wanting to do some

Relugolix/Orgovyx or Enzalutamide/Xtandi?
Good morning, all. I have updated my profile with my husband's history. But, long story short, he has been on ADT vacation for 13 months following succesful treatment of metastatic disease with Triplet Therapy (six rounds of Docetaxel, Lupron, and first Abieraterone plus Prednisone and then he switched

Agonists vs. antagonists (the latter not to be confused with a character in a novel!)
I know many of you on this site are beyond ADT, but for those who are still holding on in that space, I'd like to share my experience with the newer antagonists drugs, degarelix ( U.S. brand, Firmagon) and relugolix (U.S. brand, Orgovyx). I started ADT exactly 8 years ago this month and during my off-and-on

Combine standard care with alternative care
The University of Maryland reported two cases of terminated PCs by combining standard care treatment with an alternative treatment. By reducing the PSAs to less than 3, the clioquinol + zinc killed more cancer than testosterone could renew, therefore termination. My PSA in three months went from 58
