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.

My PSA is on the move, in the wrong direction.
I was hoping i would be on just
Eligard
for longer than average, but i didn't even get to 2 years. I guess my wife and i can stop wondering about what's next, because we will be finding out.

DOES MEDICARE COVER DEXA SCANS FOR MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER
I have been on Casodex and
Eligard
since June 2022. My PSA was still high after RALP so I had a GA-68 PSMA PET Scan done which revealed one 11mm tumor in the Left pelvic Lymph Nodes and one 7mm Tumor in the Right pelvic Lymph Nodes. Those were the only 2 hot spots in my body.

Is another MRI needed?
He got an
Eligard
shot and Prolia shot 4/13 and started Zytiga on 4/21. His PSA has dropped. The Urologist ordered another MRI for August 16th to see cancer. But if the Mets didn’t show up before on this test, is there a need to get this?

Eligard Question
Hi all. I've had two injections 3 months apart, so the end of this month is the end of my 6-month ADT treatment for now. Currently experiencing moderate but uncomfortable breast swelling and wondering if this will be a reversible condition? If so, will it resolve on its own or will I need to contact

PSMA PET scan
I had gone to a general oncologist a month ago who wanted me to start
Eligard
, Zytega and prednisone. I requested a PSMA PET scan. I'm now considering canceling
Eligard
shot Wed., and PSMA PET scan Thursday. What are your thoughts?
Eligard
too close to PSMA PET scan?

Treatment Options for Hot Flashes
The hot flashes that I have been experiencing since starting my ADT treatments (first,
Eligard
& Xtandi, now Orgovyx) are limiting my sleep and the frequency of them has become more than just a little annoying. The change to Orgovyx was due to lesser cardiovascular issues.

Second Opinion?
So last week I had a scheduled Oncology appointment for my injections (
Eligard
and Xgeva) and during my visit I asked if there was anything we can do to help strengthen my bones.

ADT options for BCR oligometastesis
Lupron OR
Eligard
OR Firmagon OR Orgovyx for a few months and then radiation, then continue hormone therapy for 1-1.5 years 2. Lupron OR
Eligard
+ Zytiga for a few months and then radiation, then continue hormone therapy There seems to be indication that Zytiga causes early hormone resistance.

How fast does ELIGARD drop PSA? My urinary symptoms are worsening despite the injection, TURP and Testosterone under 20.
[i]I'm wondering if since my pre-
ELIGARD
testosterone was under 50 before treatment (what my MO said it needs to be) and my testosterone was almost zero before treatment, does this mean I've already got castration resistant growths?

Cure or remission
SBRT to the lymph-node and 25 fractions to the pelvic area , plus
Eligard
, Zytiga , prednisone that this may be curative after the 2 yr period of treatment . So if labs are all good , I would be in remission , not cured right ? Has anyone gone this same route and can call themselves cured ?
