ADT Recommendations
I'm probably looking at starting salvage radiation soon with 4-6 months of ADT. The doc suggests starting with Casodex and then two sequential Lupron shots. Is there a better way to do ADT for that period? I'd like to get my testosterone back quickly at the end of the treatment period if possible.

Progesterone and oestradiol levels before transfer - can they be too high?
Hi Does anyone know what progesterone (nmol/L) and oestradiol (pmol/L) levels should be for a frozen transfer? I've just had an ERA and had these measured that day to help inform for the real transfer, whenever that might be! I know the progesterone in particular must not be too low. Mine seemed quite

Does a big drop in PSA a month after the start of hormone treatment possibly represent a higher chance of cure?
Hi all, I have been researching and I have been wondering if big drops in PSA right after hormone treatment should give you more hope at a cure or if this does not change the situation at all? Father PSA of 226 dropped to 3 one month after Firmagon shot, and then 0.3 a month after that, and then 0.13

Female Testosterone Replacement Users
My endo has suggested I replace very low levels of testosterone with Androfeme, to complement my existing HRT package of Lenzetto and Utrogestan. After learning Androfeme costs £150.00 upward, and that my NHS GP already has female patients supplementing testosterone, I approached him to take on my prescription

Hi all, just wanted to come on here and share my thoughts. Due to have a FET W/C 6th March and the clinic have put me on estradiol. You’re meant to start this on your first day of period but Iv found that my period is like really light, very light brown which normally 3 days in I would be bleeding

When do hot flashes end once ADT is suspended?
I was on ADT (Eligard) quarterly injections from January 2021 to November 2022 (two years). I am still experiencing the side effects of frequent hot flashes, low energy levels, weight gain, etc. I would just like to know when I might expect the hormones to have been "flushed-out" of my system and my

Determinants of PSA Response to Bipolar Androgen Therapy [BAT]
New study from Sartor et al below [1]. "Bipolar Androgen Therapy (BAT) is a novel therapy known to be effective in a subset of men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)."

Next Move?
Briefly, I had Radical Prostatectomy in February of 2018, ADT with Salvage Radiation ending in September of 2019 and undetectable PSA until August of 2022 when it increased to .09, then .12 in October, and .22 in December. Finally, .34 in March 2023. I just received this message from my Oncologist

Bone Health issues re:Bisphosphonnates, etc. ????
I'm back again for further research about the bone density medications, and now wondering about the use of bisphosphonates, denosumab and teriparatide? My PCP is suggesting these, but he's not current with the research about estrogen and testosterone use for PCa care. My backstory is that I'm suffering

Testosterone Replacement Therapy
Testosterone level seems to have plateaued at 250 post 2018-19 IMRT, ADT and brachyboost; was never more than 270 pre-treatment. Criteria for starting/stopping TRT? What are its pros and cons? Responses to it from men here? Many thanks, EdinBaltimore

DIM\Tumeric
Just started T3 about 2 weeks ago (already feeling much better). My question is do I need to wait a specific time between these medications? Taking the DIM along with Estadiol/Testosterone/Progesterone/DHEA troches due to full hysterectomy in 2007. Thank you!

ART TET Testosterone and the Prostate; the Myth
Amazing; this is a five year old podcast that talks about testosterone and the prostate. It also addresses what it calls; “The myth,” that testosterone is counter indicated for prostate cancer patients, both on active surveillance or in recovery.

Triple Therapy
I started with Lupron+Abiraterone + Docetaxel. As I mentioned before elevated liver enzymes caused MO to place me on an Abiraterone vacation after cycle 1 of Docetaxel. Docetaxel was reduced to 3/4 dosage. Yesterday, I received my 3rd cycle of 3/4 dosage of Docetaxel, my 3 month injection of Lupron

Enzalutamide/Xtandi monotherapy as ADT with fewer side effects than Lupron
Enzalutamide monotherapy can improve the quality of live for advanced prostate cancer patients. Thank you, Prof. Tombal, for promoting this arm in the Embark trial! Enzalutamide does not lower testosterone and estrogen, it even increases the level of these. This avoids the following side effects of

Additional Drug Choice
I started my ADT treatment with Eligard and Xtandi but had to change due to the cardiovascular side effects. I have been on Orgovyx alone for 10 months. My PSA is undetectable and my testosterone is 13. The drug is doing what it should. Side effects are hot flashes, fatigue, weight gain, and muscle loss
