Timing of radiation and treatment ?
I had a 6 month jab of
Eligard
Dec. 9 . I will probably go withe SOC , standard of care by adding another therapy . So Is the second line of therapy started after all radiation is done to see what happens ? Or is there a correct time frame ?

Zytiga - real experience vs the horror story of the possible side effects?
Hi All, I was diagnosed in May 2020, immediately put on
Eligard
and did a cycle of 6 doses of Taxotere. Following chemo, my PSA dropped into the low .2 area.

Eligard -- Best starting dosage: 1, 3, 4, 6 month?, or it doesn't really matter?
I also went to the
Eligard
website and couldn't find an answer there. Thank you.

First Eligard shot received this morning. Icing injection site pre- injection, as advised by some people on this site, did help me.
I believe I benefited from the advice I received here (HU), which was to ice the injection spot prior to receiving my
Eligard
injection. This morning, I received my first injection of a 6-month
Eligard
shot. I asked the nurse where she planned to give me my shot.

FYI, PEACE-1 recommendation validated by second opinion I received yesterday at MD Anderson, Jacksonville, FL
QUESTION: What is the deal with continuing Casodex after 30 days have passed from the
Eligard
shot? It it recommended to stop taking Casodex after the flare has passed, or does it depend? Thanks.

Good News fora Change
I have been on the SOC (standard of care):
Eligard
and Aberaterone, plus Prednisone and various blood pressure and bone drugs for over two years. My last CT scan more than a year ago showed metatastic cancer all over the place, spine, pelvis, other bones, soft tissue, lymph nodes, etc.

Uric Acid stones
Just read what can cause them on the dietary spectrum but wanted to find out if anyone else has had these on Xtandi,
Eligard
or Zometa? He’s had one before but not this size. We want to take preventive measures where we can, but it sounds like medication can also be a cause.

My Oligometastatic Journey Update
My last 3 month shot of
Eligard
(subbed for the Lupron) was in September 2020. My testosterone had been <10 for the entire year of September 19-September 20. It remained at ‘castrate level’ (below 50) until last April when it began climbing steadily.

New here. My story.
I am taking
Eligard
(6 month dosage) and Bi. (50 mg tablet), and as a pre-diabetic am taking Metformin. I will supplement with daily calcium, magnesium and D3. I am reading and learning and checking behind my doctors’ advice and information, which has been amazingly little.
