New Game plan
Plan is to get PSMA scan and use aggressive radiation, including SBRT if needed, as well as IMRT in conjunction with
Eligard
and Zytiga to attack the spots that show up when they are small and not to let them have a chance to grow or spread.

My Orchiectomy Adventure
After my last lab showed an increasing PSA while on both
Eligard
and Abiraterone he told me he 100% supported it. I already had an appointment set up with a urologist because of a lot of discomfort and sometimes pain in my testicles.

Eligard injection
My hubby got his first
Eligard
injection in May of this year and it was given in his arm. I’ve read that’s it’s usually injected in abdomen or buttocks. Is anyone else getting this injection and where do you receive it.

eligard

Is my Testosterone high?
(Lupron 6 mon shots, Abiraterone, & prednisone) Was switched to
Eligard
on Monday. Bloodwork Monday showed PSA undetectable and testosterone at 51 ng/dL. Is the testosterone high for being on ADT??

Meds and treatments
My hubby has been on
Eligard
since May and on Xtandi since mid July and is already saying he doesn’t think he wants to continue with the treatments. He said he is going to ask his oncologist how much time would he have if he stops and I told him everyone is different so no one knows.

Cardio Vascular Risk from Lupron
My second break started with last 3 month shot of
Eligard
on March 2, 2021. Nine months later, on Dec 2 my testosterone was only 28. Does this imply I have the same cardio vascular risk as if I am on ADT?

How do administration of Eligard, Lupron, and Firmagon differ? How are the shots given?
How is administration of
Eligard
performed? Is it different than Lupron? Is it different than Firmagon? My husband is getting his first 3 month injection of
Eligard
and he is wondering what to expect.

Any Cons to Orchiectomy?
Currently on
Eligard
& Zytiga and strongly considering an Orchiectomy. Is there any benefit to
Eligard
over surgery and testicle removal? I understand all of the psychological aspects, I'm interested in any treatment advantage between long term LHRH agonists vs testicle removal.

What is normal testosterone level one month after Eligard injection?
On August 9, I received my first
Eligard
injection. So far I have not noticed any side effects other than some minor edema. Yesterday, September 13, I had blood work done. I was very pleased to see PSA had dropped from 6.41 to 0.05.

Low T - Good, Bad, or Indifferent?
It has been a year since my last 6 month
Eligard
shot. PSA is undetectable as of blood test on Friday. My Testosterone is <3 as it has been for the last 6 months. Will my T recover and if it doesn't, is this a bad thing?

Sense to knocking...
At least, no "hurt like hell" lump of
eligard
this time; "that is why we don't use it. Ice it and it should be fine." The day after, I am sitting on a cold hip that hurts like hell, waiting for male hormones to drain from me and for the cancer (still hard to say cancer) to go to sleep.

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.
