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 ?

What else should I be doing?
First
Eligard
injection today and will start 1000 mg Zytiga and prednisone next week. PSA today was .030. My treatment is at the Univ of Miami. What else should I do at this time? Should I get a second opinion now? If so where do I go? (willing to travel). thanks

Monitoring High Blood Pressure
Never had to be concerned, but with Zytiga and
Eligard
side effects… just wondering. If so what manufacturer instruments? Any BP medication. Side effects from that? Thanks

GA 68 PSMA PET SCAN RESULTS
Keep in mind the only ADT I have had at this point is the Cosadex for 15 days and my first
Eligard
injection yesterday morning. It also looks like we may have to address possible RT to the left scapula?

Swollen feet with some intermittently mild increase in neuropathy.
Also wondering if
Eligard
might be ‘harder’ on the heart than a different ADT drug?

waiting part deux
Been off any treatment (except
Eligard
) since mid July. Had PSMA PET scan, qualified for Pluvicto which was supposed start this week, Aug 25. But was put on radiation program for left hip for 10 days, which will end on 25th. So Pluvicto was postponed until September 15.

Bone scan results mixed
Hubby is at 11 months on
Eligard
and 4 months on Xtandi. His PSA went up to 34 at the end of April so oncologist requested new bone scan, ct scan & labs to reassess in 4-6 weeks.

A decision to be made....
I have been on Zytiga (1000mg daily), Prednisone (10mg daily) and
Eligard
(quarterly) since I started this journey in May of 2020. My PSA result have been <0.1 June 2020, and since 8/2021 its been <0.04. Should I take time off from the
Eligard
injection. Not sure what to do.

Meaning of SHBG
After almost 7 years since metastatic diagnosis and treatments of radiation, chemotherapy and ADT (6 monthly
Eligard
) since 2016, I have not had my testosterone levels tested until now. I am not sure what the above results mean. Would be pleased to hear any input about what this.

XGEVA , Dosing change?
Also I began
Eligard
every 4 months with daily Zytiga 1000 mg and prednisone 5 mg x2 daily in June 2019, my psa took quite some time to reach .24 and stay there, but lately it began dropping again. Is this normal? It's at .19 as of May 16.

Got PSMA SCAN Results-Now What?
I see Dr Sartor in about a week to get my 6 month
Eligard
shot. He’s one of the leading experts in LU-177 treatment. To date he hasn’t brought up or suggested I think about that treatment. Do I have to, or should I wait until I’m castrate resistant before experimenting with other therapies?

LU 177
Currently on Xtandi, Xgeva, Lupron/
Eligard
. I have the costs figured for my current meds but tough to know cost for the future meds once the current stop working, which is a virtual certainty the way it is explained to me.
