Holiday is over
After enjoying an
Eligard
holiday since April first my last .1 result was in July. Since then it jumped to .54, 1.34, and now 2.70. My tests have been 6 weeks apart. I will get the PET scan next with the tracer. I hope the scan tells us more.

PSA rising after 2 years on Eligard...options?
The PC was too widely spread for surgery or radiation so I was Treated with 6 rounds of docetaxel and am still on
Eligard
every 4 months. Also participating in the Titan (Apalutamide) Clinical Trial. 95% certain I am getting the real drug due to a very bad and persistent rash.

Zytiga or Docetaxel ??
I posted here in early August that my PSA had fallen to 2.33 from 16.51 in January, after 38 fractions of radiation + Cassodex +
Eligard
. In early October, my PSA has risen to 8.7 and a PSMA test has indicated several extra mets to bones and left shoulder.

Correlation between start of Lupron and start of RT
in my case
Eligard
. RO seems adamant about starting IMRT right at the 2 month mark from my 6 month
Eligard
injection. I am not getting the reasoning. (plan on asking him next week) common sense would make one wonder, why not start RT at 4 months? 3months?

Rise in PSA
My husband began this process in 2016 PSA 2.7 -- Gleason score 4+ After 40 radiation treatments (opted not to remove the prostate) and
Eligard
shots every 3 months for 18 months his PSA began to rise. Aximum scan showed mets to pelvic area and retroperitoneal.

Eligard/Lupron
Anyone with experience with
Eligard
/Lupron? Uro wants to switch me from Firmagon (1 mo injections) to Eligrad/Lupron (6 mo injections). Pros? Cons? Side effects.

BRCA2 positive - need for PARP inhibitor; Rucaparib, others?
I am on
Eligard
, Zytiga. Prednisone and Xgeva, which are working for me now with PSA down from 20 to 0.2 in 3 months. Also having robotic prostatectomy this Nov 14 as part of the SIMCAP clinical trial. Should I consider adding Rucaparib at this point, or wait until I become castrate resistant???

Camino Santiago Update
Eligard
for a year now and finished radiation in early August, just before heading off to France to begin Camino Santiago pilgrimage on 28 August. My son and I finished the 805 km or 500 mile trip on Monday 1 Oct at 10:27. Made it the whole way. Met lots of really interesting folks.

Now on Active Surveillance
I have had 72 radiations,
Eligard
for 6 and 1/2 years, and now I am "cancer free". I am on active surveillance and PSA is 0.00. I would like to join the active surveillance community. Jim Van Horn

Stopping Zytiga after 6months
After our last checkup with our med onco last Friday, he mentioned that my husband can stop taking Zytiga if his PSA drops to below zero after 6months treatment and just continue with
Eligard
and Xgeva.

Provenge Alternatives?
He also told me to quit going to my original urologist (who provided my
Eligard
injections) and quit seeing my oncologist (who provided my Xgeva injections) and come to him for everything.

Long term opiod effects
His treatment, now Xtandi,
Eligard
, and Xgeva, seems to be working well right now. He’s been on 50mmg fentanyl and hydrocodone for 2+ years. He is sleeping more and more during the day and is more depressed lately. He takes a low dose anti-depressant.

Seriousness of "Flair" on Eligard
wondering about flair and what help is casodex? I'm in 2 weeks since 6mo shot and other than a few surprise "stiffie's" the SE are not bad yet.. last check of T before shot was 230 maybe that might be some of the answer. Ed

New member, my story so far
The urologist immediately did a biopsy and started me on ADT (
Eligard
) immediately, before getting the biopsy results. The bone lesions matched up with pains that had been developing but I had thought were due overuse injuries and aging.

External beam - your reaction?
Firmagon and then
Eligard
/Lupron. Roller coaster ride of emotions for me. Interestingly enough, no impact (yet) on ED or sex drive. Go figure.
