Feeling defeated.
Dr Drake placed me on
Eligard
in December due to a rising PSA on full dose xtandi. PSA was 1.7 at that time. Ct showed common iliac and retroperitoneal nodes. Bone scan was negative. Follow up PSA in Jan was 2.5 with testosterone <3. This week PSA is 3.9. Testosterone <3.

Metformin?
Is anyone here with metastatic stage 4 hormone naive (not yet castration resistant) PCa taking Metformin, in addition to ADT (Lupron or
Eligard
or degarelix)? If so what are your observations regarding effectiveness? Thank-you.

A ton of info from pjoshea13 and others but but unfortunately, due to my
Eligard
induced stupidity, it’s all like Hyroglifics to me!!! My story; Unfortunatelly, I did not know about sites like this until many months into my ADT treatment.

Has anyone seen testosterone rise on xtandi while still on lupron?
Not sure if it's worth staying on 3 month
eligard
shot if it's not keeping me below castrate level. Xtandi has been very good at lowering Psa, now undetectable

Last Day of Radiation
Now after 36 radiation treatments and two
eligard
(ADT) shots I am at PSA .03. The ladder I believe is my new baseline. I am still having flank pain, which the doctors believe is more kidney related than prostate. Cancer. However, I will go on.

Eligard, Radiation & Chemo have failed, what now ??
So, in just under a year, I have been on
Eligard
(till now) Radiotherapy (38 fractions) and Docetaxel (6 cycles). ALL HAVE FAILED. What do I do now ?? I'd be grateful for any suggestions. Thank you very much, indeed.

Why no pain at all ??
I have been on treatment for almost exactly ONE YEAR now and have taken Casodex (14 days),
Eligard
(almost a year), radiation therapy (38 fractions), docetaxel (6 cycles). I have not experienced any pain of any significance yet. Is this normal ??

Casodex dosage
Continuing on
Eligard
. Just started 50 mg Casodex daily to control accelerating PSA, 0.15 11/22/18 to 0.55 2/12/19. Is this the right dose, as I have seen various postings of up to 150 mg? I am pending application for Provenge. Also Olaparib outside of clinical trials, as I am BRCA2+.

**One year tomorrow**
My battle started a year ago tomorrow I was put on Zytiga,Prednisone,and
ELIGARD
with monthly Xgeva for multiple bone Mets. My PSA has been undetectable since first month and other than the usual side effects I feel pretty much normal.

A bit of history - MY advanced, aggressive PCa story continues ...
That didn't happen - so I quit the
Eligard
in July 2018, after 16 months. I should mention that my 'medical team' wondered WHAT is he thinking ? Is this refusal of treatment and/or a slow path to self extinction ?

PSA at zero after 3 months on Xtandi, can it last?
After almost 2 yrs of ADT treatment with Firmagon and
Eligard
, I became castrate resistant and was put on Xtandi. A few weeks ago I had blood work done at my MO and PSA was at 0.09 . This week my urologist also did a PSA test and just called to tell me my PSA was at "zero".

On Eligard just finished RT and psa remained same. Now what?
Had
Eligard
shot Nov 2018, 40 RT Psa done 2-13-19 and PSA is 1.07. So nothing changed with the treatment. Now what? He's now 51. Any similar stories that can shed some light?--

Time to ADT Failure
I am wondering what the time is from starting ADT (
Eligard
, Lupron, degarelix, etc.) till the PCa becoming castrate resistant. I read a recent post from “whatsinaname” where his failed after only 6 months. Is that an outlier on the short side, or typical?

Just stumbled across this while researching why my "T" is still high (187) while on
Eligard
. I can see where this could be possible.. going to as Doc about it. Ed
