9 days on Casodex. PSA tested lower. Meaningful, or not?
Good morning, I get my first
Eligard
shot on Friday, but I did start taking my 50 MG Casodex pills 9 days ago. Two months ago, my PSA was 4.68. Although I have since that time had a CT scan, a prostate biopsy and a PET scan, I have not had another PSA level taken.

Is there a cure?
Weight gain from
Eligard
went from 225 to 240;s, now down to 217. Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Siefreid and the man in the link below all detail cancer and fasting. I have no joint pain from
Eligard
anymore, hot flashes are more less I feel warm not soaked, and much more.

When to start
IMRT and 4 months
Eligard
and Casodex. PSA was reported to be less than 0.1. Past three years PSA has risen from 0.03 to 0.05. (.03, .04, .04, .05, .02 and .05) PSA as of now has not doubled in three years. MO wants to start treatment if PSA rises to 0.07. Seems a little too early for me. NO?

Seminal Vesicle Invasion
His only therapy so far was hormone one - first casodex (bicalutamide) and now for the past 2 and a half years
eligard
every six month. About 8 months ago he also received an urinary catheter (foley), as he is retaining too much urine.

Hello
Started
Eligard
ADT every 6 months in December 2020. Completed 40 Proton treatments to the prostate and pelvic area in March 2021. The plan is to stay on the
Eligard
for 3 doses (18 months) and check the PSA every 3 months. I've found this Health Unlocked community very informative and helpful.

PSA Anxiety and Intermittent ADT for Metastatic Prostate Cancer
My last 3 month
Eligard
shot was on March 2, but I still have intense hot flashes. As a matter of fact my past experience has shown strong side effects to remain even after one year of stopping ADT. I know there is mixed opinion on intermittent ADT for metastatic cancer.

Worn Out Wings
With the

/Zytiga regimen I'm on, the tears come easy reading of all the suffering,frustrations and the gauntlets we must run. It all comes down to asking yourself, What do I have to live for?

What is normal testosterone fluctuation under Eligard and abiraterone?
Anyone know if a change in t level from <3 to 50 over 2 months is normal under double ADT? Thanks

Breast tenderness
I am 5 months out from a 3 month shot of
Eligard
and have noticed breast sensitivity especially at the gym. I inquired about tamoxifen with my urologist they said they only prescribe it to long term adt patients. They recommended soy products.

Wow! Ejaculation again!
Almost exactly 2 years since HDR Brachy, better than 1.5 years of EBRT, and about 9 months off the 18 month
Eligard
protocol. Testosterone slowly creeping back up, although still quite low. Libido also slowly coming back.

Isn't strange that

ADT Vacation
Today I received my final 3 mo
Eligard
injection and will no longer need to take the daily abiraterone acetate ( zytiga) and prednisone. I have a withdrawal schedule for the prednisone that I developed with my MO. My psa <0,01 and T < 1 ng/dl. Pretty good result I think.

How do we express staging/treatment/response in a uniform method on our forum,and how can I decide to stop Eligard
Radiation June-august 2020. 18 months on
Eligard
, and I’m past ready to get off if the ride. At this juncture, I have at least 2 questions (likely already covered, but could not find thread.) 1. Is there a format to express staging/treatments? 2, what will I gain by continuing
Eligard
. Thanks.
