UPDATE AFTER IMRT
PSA was 8.11 which led to my Urology Oncologist (UO) starting me on Casodex &
Eligard
, and ordering a GA-68 PSMA-PET scan which was done in mid June (2 weeks after starting ADT).

Did not get baseline testosterone level at start of my Eligard shots.
Eligard

Would like help in treatment options.
I began seeing an oncologist at Tulane who is well regarded and began 6 month
Eligard
injections and daily sodium bicalutimide. This continued for 2.5 years and I decided to have one more
Eligard
injection.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?
