PSA levels rising, Oncologist says to consider alternatives
I have tolerated
Firmagon
and Zytiga comparatively well, and feel good with plenty of energy. I would appreciate ideas, thoughts, and information. I began Frimagon/zytiga/prednisone in may of 2019. I am not beginning to study the next steps.

Ice therapy during chemo?
Only treatment I’ve received thus far is two
Firmagon
infusions, which will be my regular ADT drug. Thanks to all for all the great information you’ve been posting.

PSA rising and an update on Pca
Thursday is
Firmagon
injection day for June, which brings me to the floor below my oncologist. I get a monthly in-person visit because of that. The following is an update for Pca activity. I pressured the Dr. at Jefferson for my 3rd annual Auximen PET scan in April.

Advice concerning treatment and supplements
I have heard that
Firmagon
could be easier on the heart than Lupron? Does Xoladex and Xtandi prolong suppression of PSA? He also takes several supplements; berberine, quercetin, fenbendazole, curcumin, IP6, betaglucans, vit. K2 and broccolisprouts. So many questions, so much worry!

(off topic) Firmagon useful for treating pedophilia
It will probably surprise few of us that libido-reducing
Firmagon
has been found to be useful for treating pedophiles in a small Swedish study. They found that it had rapid onset of action (it is a direct GnRH antagonist).

Firmagon abdominal distention
Hey everyone, Is anyone familiar with a possible side effect from Docetaxel or
Firmagon
that would cause abdominal distention? My dad is suffering with distention and tightness in his lower abdominal causing great discomfort. Lots of burping and farting but really no relief.

Vertigo
Been on ADT for 18 months (
Firmagon
then Lupron). Started Xtandi 8 months ago. I know Xtandi can cause seizures, but I think that would have shown up before now. Still working at 68 yo and in good health as far as my doctors and I know. It doesn't happen often, but often enough to notice.

Still on Vacation
Doctor already has a plan when PSA starts to rise, and that is
Firmagon
. I know it won't last forever, but going to ride this train as long as I can. I haven't felt this good since before surgery. Lost the 20 pounds I gained on top of that.

Treatment suggestions after multiple failed salvage therapies?
(Psa before surgery was 9) He then went on
firmagon
and completed salvage radiation to the prostate bed. He was on
firmagon
for 9 months. Unfortunately as soon as it wore off his psa started climbing back up, with a doubling time of about 4.5 months.
