My life has gotten much more complicated since Abiraterone suddenly quit working about 6 months ago
Eligard
appears to be keeping the testosterone level completely under control.

Treatment Options for Gynecomastia
I have been on Lupron/
Eligard
since November 2018 with a nine month and a one year break. Gynecomastia (breast enlargement) has not been a serious problem until now. During the last six months gynecomastia getting worse even during ADT break. I just restarted my Lupron shot a week ago.

2 months post Orgovyx
A little background, 10 months of lupron/
Eligard
followed by12 months of orgovyx. I stopped using orgovyx two months ago and my psa came in at <.02 and testosterone rebounded to 233. I thought that was quite impressive for only two months.

PSA .03 after Radiation and ADT
He wants to stop
Eligard
for 6 months to determine, not sure what. Guessing to see if the cancer is gone but my understanding that once it has metastasized you’ll never really be cured, you just continue to try to live long enough to die of something else, I’m ok with that.

Some Questions
- Does the fact that there is “minimally increased uptake” in one area imply that the
Eligard
and Zytiga are losing their effectiveness? - Can “increased uptake” be expected to continue? - Should any further steps be taken at this point?

PYLARIFY diagnostic could not find prostate cancer cells, then a surprise!
Eligard
(quarterly), and 60mg. Prolia every six months. PSA was slowly increasing and in December 2021, PSA was 0.37, testosterone 25.7 My doctor ordered the latest diagnostic test that utilizes PYLARIFY to flag the location of prostate cancer cells.

ADT and hip replacement.
I had a hip replacement about 15 years ago and finished a year of ADT with my last
Eligard
injection at the end of 2020. Recently I have noticed pain in my affected hip and was wondering if any others have experienced similar.

Purpose of ADT Vacation?
Started quarterly shots of
Eligard
and daily 1200mg abiraterone plus prednisone Jan. 2021. By July 2021 PSA was undetectable and still is. Fortunately I'm tolerating the drugs very well but the big problem for me is zero sex desire and ability! Can anything be done about that?

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.

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.

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.
