Timing of Firmagon and Nubeqa
However,
Firmagon
injection not scheduled by uroligist until 10/9. Can I take Nubeqa now before the
Firmagon
or SOC requires Nubeqa to be started post
Firmagon
injection? Thanks for your input.

Urologist Wants to switch from Firmagon & Nubeqa to Lupron with Nubeqa
The urologist started with first injection of
Firmagon
with Nubeqa and before the end of 28 days wants to switch from
Firmagon
to Lupron with Nubeqa. I was under impression that
Firmagon
is better at getting the job done than Lupron? Why switch?

Significant decrease in PSA?
He switched from Casodex to Darolutamide, which he started on 9/5/24 and also received his first
Firmagon
injection around the same time. At today's appointment (9/24/24), they switched from
Firmagon
to Lupron injections.

Does PSA drop after starting ADT tell us anything?
My husband started
Firmagon
shots a month ago. Before starting his PSA was 5.9. It was tested a few days ago and it’s 1.4 now. Does this tell us anything of any significance? Thanks!

Orgovyx not working as and ADT - Anyone had this issue? Also has anyone worked FT and been on Ogovyx and Zytiga at the same time
MO wants to start
Firmagon
on Sept 23rd. Also will be extending ADT from 6 months now to 9 months. I have not seen anyone have this issue before. These number are very distressing as you all know who have PCa.

PSA 1.175 Down from 21, 6 weeks ago. Is this good ?
Hence I am wondering if I should switch to
Firmagon
and see if they drop more. Do testosterone and PSA numbers drop more once an ARPI is added ?

Sclerosis due to cancer or treatment?
I've been on ADT for about 9 months, although I did go about 30 days without anything after doctor discontinued
Firmagon
and then Zytiga severely elevated my liver enzymes. Right now I've been back on
Firmagon
for about 6 weeks and Casodex for about 30 days.

depression and prostate cancer
My dad becomes very depressed and tearful the week following his
Firmagon
injections. His doctor has offered antidepressants, but he refuses. He said they will make him more fatigued, although he has never been on them.

My husband is in year 7… He has been on the traditional SOC with ADT… Lupron,
Firmagon
, Nubequa, and lastly Zytiga. All have ceased working. His PSA has risen to 47. Auxium scan shows pretty extensive growth in Retroperitineal Abdominal area.

anemia
My dad is receiving
Firmagon
injections every 4 weeks and is on Zytiga daily. His Red blood cells have been dropping since starting on this regimen four months ago. He had radiation a few years back, I think about 80 treatments in total to different areas.

Erectile dysfunction meds and side effects
Good news is that his PSA has gone to 2 and Testosterone to 9 after a month on
Firmagon
so meds seem to be doing what are supposed to. Drs have prescribed Cialis and Viagra for ED. So far he doesn’t have it but I’m sure he will after the radiation and continuation of the meds.

Started Xtandi and AST spiked!
I'm about 12 months into my PCa battle...been on
Firmagon
for most of it (including now). Started on Zytiga last year but had to stop due to elevated liver enzymes, so I switched to Casodex about two months ago, but PSA numbers started to climb from 0.1 to almost 0.3 within about 3 months.

Orgovyx Side Effect(relugolix)
My doctor said we could try and stop Orgovyx and switch to
Firmagon
shorts for a few months and see. I may try that. I have read where low T affect the intestinal flora and so maybe that. I did have IBS when I was a teenager into my early 20's - then it cleared up. Anyone else have this problem?

Firmagon vs Lupron
So, the question is what are the up or downs if switching from
Firmagon
to Lupron. I used Orgovyx until it didn't work, switched to
Firmagon
. Wanted either due to family history with heart issues. Dad, uncle's, brothers, all having issues. One brother recently having a major HA...
