24 Months of Eligard Comes to an End
I’ve been having
Eligard
injections every six months for the last two years. In October my Oncologist wants to stop the treatment. My last two blood tests over a 12 month period showed my PSA at <0.1 and my Testosterone at 0.4.

Is anyone taking Erleada?
Hello, I received my first
Eligard
injection on June 6th. PSA dropped from 9 to 0.7 in 3 months. For my second ADT treatment my doctor wants to switch to Trelstar. From what I read it sounds like
Eligard
and Trelstar are very similar, same side effects. Doctor also wants to add Erleada.

Emerging castrate resistance
Since my PSA became detectable at my last visit, he changed my appointments to every 6 weeks instead of every three months (concurrent with the
Eligard
shots).

Prostatectomy, radiation, chemo, Eligard. What's next?
Last month my PET scan revealed prostate cancer has spread t o my bones. I have read Estrogen has been used effectively to stop cancer progress and, in some cases, has actually decreased the size of the tumor. Has anyone used Estrogen as treatment for advanced stage 4 prostate cancer? At this point

Introducing myself. Have mostly lurked for a couple of months, but time to formally say I'm here and start asking my own questions.
The ONLY treatment I've had to date for the PCa is an
ELIGARD
injection, no Casodex or Xtandi, etc. yet. I've already met with an MO and an RO, but both are waiting for a pelvic bone biopsy before finalizing plans, but the RO's propose treatment is in my profile.

TO TAKE OR TO WAIT
Is it better to wait to add a 2nd or 3rd level drugs like enzalutamide to my treatment until I'm no longer responding to
Eligard
or should it be added now.

PSMA shows nothing. Good news or non-news?
Had a six month
Eligard
shot 6/15, and a PSMA PET scan 7/18. I just read the report. It shows no activity anywhere. I'm a bit confused; is the ADT masking something or should I simply be grateful (My first choice)? And should I ask to add Zytiga now or wait until
Eligard
failure?

Prostate removal after radiation??
Since diagnosis (2016) I've had chemo (taxotere), 25 radiation sessions on my prostate, along with regular shots of ADT (
Eligard
). I currently have a PSA of .7 I recently had a PSMA scan, and the only cancer in my body at this point is in the prostate gland itself.

Need sleep aid
My husband is on
Eligard
once every 3m months, Xgeva monthly, Erleada nightly and Megace x 2 a day. One of his side effects is frequent urination during the night. He is up at least five times per night and neither of us is getting any sleep. What's a safe option? Thank you!

Introduction
Surgery was canceled by the urologist, and instead was prescribed Xtandi and a shot of
Eligard
. We are located in the Northeast (Philly burbs), so went to UPenn and Fox Chase for second opinions.

Good news from Urologist
Had the usual lab work drawn and received the
Eligard
injection. The
Eligard
is still doing its job as my PSA is still 0.0 per the phone call this morning. 1 more injection scheduled for November 1st. I will have been on it for 2.5 years and will be taken off it.
