Beware the Undetectable
I have been on Zytiga,
Eligard
and prednisone. I was told not to worry...things were at a standstill. Next week I start chemo and radiation to fight small cell lung cancer that snuck up on me while basking in the undetectable. Insist on a full body scan once a year or so.

IGRT started
Back in June when I had my first shot of
Eligard
my PSA had risen to 200, 3 months later my PSA was at 12 and I had my second shot of
Eligard
and now into December started IGRT at the ICON cancer centre in Cairns north Queensland. I had gold seeds inserted on the 4th of November.

Oligometastatic PC and Radiation
My husband was put on Casodex immediately and then on
Eligard
. He has been fortunate to have no side effects. His current PSA is .19 and his testosterone is ‘< 10’, so the ADT has been effective.

Best new drugs for castrate-resistant PC?
Back on
Eligard
; PSA went from 2.7 to 1.4, then 1.7. But in past six weeks, PSA shot from 1.7 to 2.8 with no testosterone; I assume it's now castrate-resistant (no mets). Unfortunately, PC went outside capsule, so curative treatments like HIFU, cryotherapy, etc. won't work.

Prep’ing for Dr’s appointment!! Little Help Please!!
I opted for a regiment of 1month of Bicalutamide and 44 RT with 18mo
Eligard
. (bicalutamide was inadvertently refilled for 6mo’s(long story)) Treatment: *Last 3mo
Eligard
injection was Nov 9th 2018 (completing my 18mo treatment (20mo actually because of gaps while changing Dr’s)).

MONOTHERAPY FOR NEWLY DIAGNOSED PROSTATE CANCER
As of Dec 18, 2019, LHRH agonists available in the US include: Leuprolide (Lupron,
Eligard
), Goserelin (Zoladex), Histrelin (Vantas) and Triptorelin (Trelstar). An LHRH agonist keeps testicles from making T by blocking other hormones needed to make it.

New to site. Looking for side effects of Xofigo.
Currently on
Eligard
and Xgeva. Just finishing 3 weeks of radiation on lumbar area of spine. Have been on Zytiga and Prednisone, Xtandi. Terrible side effects while on Xtandi so they stopped it 3 months ago. Will soon be going on Xofigo and am concerned about the side effects.

MRI found 2 cm lesion on pelvis, doctor said to ignore it.
He had his last 6 month
Eligard
(ADT) shot on May 20, and had radiation Aug 2017. After 3 months of ADT his psa dropped to .008 and has stayed there. He had been suffering from lower back pain with tingling in his legs, so he had an MRI of the spine April 2018 which showed some spinal stenosis.

Symptoms Returned after stopping Casodex
RO ordered 3 month
Eligard
injection Stopped Casodex 2 weeks after injection. Now I’m experiencing increased frequency with a decreased urine flow. Would appreciate comments on why the change after stopping Casodex. Also would a PSA test at this time reveal anything?
