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.

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.

Distant Lymph node treatment options?
Started ADT with
Eligard
shot, Abiraterone, Prednisone,Pantoprazole on Oct 15th. On 23rd of November had new tests and PSA dropped to 6.8. I was elated by such a drop and upon a visit to my Dr he suggested radiation therapy.

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.

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.

a dilemma...
I started Casodex last week ahead of my first
Eligard
injection next week in anticipation of PSA flare all in an effort to keep me in a sort of flight pattern over this dilemma I have to resolve. Of note prior to surgery I was as regular with bowel functions each day as one can get.

Good Report
My only treatments so far have been Zytiga,
Eligard
, Provenge, and Xgeva which I was on for a year but stopped after it started causing jawbone loss I had to have dead bone removed twice.

PSA 1.34 - Testosterone <7 ng/dl
My urologist indulged me and gave me the requested tests, numbers look good for 60 days on
Eligard
(Lupron). I have been concerned that Lupron is not working as I am still having sex 3-4 times /week. Does it say <7 because testosterone test is not sensitive to amounts below 7?

Zytiga vs Casodex with Eligard for intermediate risk stage T3a, PSMA negative cancer, post RP (5/21) initial PSA 0.4, currently 0.79
I am curious as to why MO is choosing zytiga over casodex even though there is no evidence of metastasis at this time? He is recommending 24 months of ADT and possibly radiation. My father has been reluctant to initiate further treatment but will likely be starting soon.

Can someone recommend a good oncologist to consult with remotely regarding intermittent ADT?
....For stage prostate cancer… After
Eligard
for 10 months PSA is .9 and alkaline phosphatase is normal....One month ago switched to Orgovyx with no break between
Eligard
and Ogovyx .

For reference, Jeff’s current regimen is 6 month injections
Eligard
and carboplatin/cabazitaxel chemo infusions. (Docetaxel(Taxotere) and Zytiga have already failed him.) This shitty disease. I’ve never felt so hopeless and useless. My heart breaks over and over.

Darolutamide and scan question (2nd UPDATE 1/15/22) RESULTS of Pylarify scan Anyone have any thoughts or advice? Questions we should ask?
Now on second round of
eligard
(switch was recommended by Dr. Sartor at Tulane and it's been good for my husband, less pain than firmagon and good response...T is at 6) and Dr. Sartor wants him to start darolutamide now. I would sure like imaging done just for our own information.

A little hiccup…I hope
Weird blood test I’m on long term ADT,
Eligard
zytiga prednisone Just heard from my GP after blood draw. Upshot is my folate has dropped fairly drastically to double digits from the mid hundreds. I noticed a drop in my hemoglobin as well..understandably…I’ve always been a little anemic.

One Year Post Diagnosis
After initially being on
Eligard
for 4 months my PSA had dropped to around 2.0, and the Oncologist was happy. My next PSA test after a further 4 months which included a continuation of
Eligard
and 25 radiation treatments, my PSA was 1.3 and my Testosterone was 0.4.

ADT Failure?
I am on
Eligard
and Zytiga. Since starting one year ago, my PSA had dropped from 340 to 0.18. I just received my third
Eligard
injection earlier this week and it had been six month and a week since the prior injection.
