Experiences with

Elagolix

I was on bicalutamide monotherapy three years. My testosterone vas very high (1500) and was surprised why reaserchres and doctors didnt try to lower it. I had not tools to do my own experiment until Orgovyx appeared. Two years ago I was ready to buy Orgowyx in USA but it was impossible. One of the

Dad was saying since some days he feels a sweetish kind of taste in mouth. I have read some people can have a change of taste as a side effect of enzalutamide. He is on relugolix , enzalutamide and have added 2000 mg metformin since a month. Anyone here experiences similar ?

At the 1st visit with the MO consultant, bicalutamide and Leuprolide injection was recommended for 6 months before 20 IMRT sessions and HDBT plus continuation ADT for 18- 24 months. There was also mention of chemo, but I've explained I would like to leave that for later, if required. Clinical trial of

Dad was on orgovyx for a couple of months and his Testosterone levels had come down to 26. Around a month and a half back he added xtandi and the latest T levels came back at 41. MO said to repeat the T test after a couple of weeks and if it shows an increasing trend to shift to Degarelix or some

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

After Prof. Peter Hoskin team consultant visit today Sep 20. 24, Leuprolide injection and bicalutamide were recommended for 6 months before 20 IMRT sessions somewhere in Jan 25, continuing with ADT for up to 2-3 years, but needs monitoring and adjusted accordinglyAfter that, brachy boost was recommended

"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. When one is on doublet therapy (whether or not one had also

Hi Guys! Can Lupron and Relugolix be combined for the treatment of PCa? Thanks.

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.

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

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

Greetings FPC Forum Dwellers, Marnie passed me some solid information on the APCCC...and it is all about testosterone... I got you looking now !!! First, the warmup with a case study and the message that when it comes to testosterone recovery, short term ADT can take 18 months and long term ADT to 2

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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
