Hot Flashes Long Time After Last ADT Shot
It is over a year since my last
Eligard
shot and nine months into ADT break. Still I am getting intense hot flashes. Particularly, during the last few days. During the first three month of the break my Testosterone remained < 20.

Advanced Suprise
Maintaining
Eligard
Q6 months. Just received a shock. Had a mental abnormality about 3 weeks ago. Received an MRI that showed Metastatic Brain Tumors X 3 and swelling of the brain. Taking steroid and anti-seizure med. My Radiation Oncologist doesn't think it is related to the prostate.

Starting Xofigo RA 223
I am still on
Eligard
and also started 50 MG of Cassodex to see if the progression could be slowed down. Seems to be working a little because my PSA only climbed from 8.3 to 9.1 in February. Yesterday, we met with the Radiation Oncologist at Mayo Phoenix and he recommended 6 cycles of Xofigo.

PSA stable / oxybutinin side effects
He is taking
eligard
every 6 months, no other meds . His initial MRI showed 2 prostate tumors and enlarged pelvic lymph nodes. My question is should he start Zytiga or Xtandi to lower his PSA more?

Considering adt vacation
I have been on zytiga/prednisone daily plus
Eligard
injections since June 2018. My original scan showed mets in bones and lymph nodes. A recent scan found nothing. I am considering either a
Eligard
vacation or a total vacation including Zytiga. My psa has been undetectable for more than 3 years.

Treatment Decision
I would insist resumption of Lupron/
Eligard
shots at the minimum. Would there be any benefit from aggressive treatment adding Zytiga/Apalutamide? I would appreciate any other suggestions. Radiation treatment for the newly found suspicious retrocaval node may not do much good.

ADT CHOICES
Is there any difference in effectiveness if I had a 6 month shot of Lupron or
Eligard
?

Finished Eligard last October
Finished 18 months of
Eligard
early October. How long can I expect to wait before testosterone to increase? Get back to normal?

Interesting article from a Duke study in 2018 -- Smell Receptors Fuel Prostate Cancer Progression. I may be experiencing this, now.
Currently on
Eligard
and soon to start Docetaxel.

Started

ADT collagen/cartilage issues
Taking a pole I’m in my 4th year of ADT (
eligard
/Zytiga) and my joints are weaker..most Achilles issues. now both my eyes are affected..vitriol membrane humour separation leaving me with dancing Weiss ring floaters disrupting my field if vision. I’m quite myopic so they tell me it’s a risk factor.

Fenbendazole
He’s been on
Eligard
since July 21 when PSA was 14.7. His PSA this jumped to 22.4 so started on Xtandi due to being Type II diabetic. I’ve researched Fenbendazole and curious if anyone has had success adding it to your treatment protocol.

How should I interpret this PSA reading?
Currently on
Eligard
only, but plan to add Zytiga VERY soon and possibly/probably Docytosel. ************************************************************************************** My question: What, if anything, should I make of the fact that my PSA reading appears to have bottomed out at .53?

Bone Mineral Density and ALP
Now, 3 months being off ADT (last 3mo
Eligard
injection was July 2021) ALP increased to 103. I KNOW THESE NUMBERS ARE STILL CONSIDERED NORMAL. However, could this slightly and continuos increase in ALP be associated with BMD? DEXA scan in August 2020 showed normal BMD.
