Falling ALT - Pathway to Sarcopenia? - More Exercise Needed?
Two years in to my de novo high volume metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis, I am pleased to report excellent results so far with triplet therapy (Docetaxel chemo completed, Abiraterone ARPI,
Firmagon
/Degarelix GnRH antagonist as ADT). However I would be grateful for any advice today.

Any proof that removing a tumor off prostate bed by radiation or surgery is better than just systemic therapy ?

Estrogen for Bone Health in PCa patient.
Treatment was conventional ADT using
Firmagon
for 4 months before RT using IMRT @78Gy over 39 sessions in Dec 2019. By Sep 2021 PSA started rising. Was advised Nubeqa as there was no spread visible on PSMA Pet CT scan. Preceding Nubeqa I had an orchidectomy.

Estradiol, QoL and inflammation
Whereas I had experienced some discomfort from the monthly
Firmagon
shots, this was easy to manage. After I started with estradiol early this year, the January and even more so the February
Firmagon
shot caused serious discomfort-- shivering and feeling unwell for more than 24 hours.

fast-rising PSA
I was diagnosed 3/23 - high volume/high risk, and have been on
Firmagon
and Abiraterone plus pred. In Sept my PSA started to rise, with testosterone remaining negligible.

Triplet Therapy
My husband is going to start triplet therapy starting with a
firmagon
shot next week followed by chemo. How much is the typical gap between ADT and starting chemo - 2 weeks, 4 weeks ?

PSA now undetectable with 2 of 35 radiation treatments left.
Started
Firmagon
in September, Lupron in December. I feel more comfortable discussing my treatment with my doctors from the knowledge I gain here. Still more to learn and more questions to understand. I’m glad I have this group in my corner. thank you

Thank you everybody - part 2
I didn't get a
firmagon
injection but I do have an updated prescription. 7. Their preference is to wait 2 months before giving me the injection but I can start next week if I push for it. 8.

Dad Diagnosed w/Advanced Prostate Cancer - PSA of 4800 - Question about biopsy?
He is taking Casodex (Bicalutamide) now and just had his first
Firmagon
injection yesterday. He is very tired and weak today. Eventually, he will start the Darolutamide pill and then chemo for 6 months. However, he has not yet had a biopsy - it is scheduled for tomorrow.

HELP WITH SIDE EFFECTS FROM ENZALUTAMIDE
Chemotherapy radiation and
firmagon
followed. My psa went way down for about 18 months. when it went up I discontinued
firmagon
and was put on Eliguard once every 4 months. PSA went down then started to increase once more.

New diagnosis... & Enzalutamide question
I got put on
Firmagon
(Degarelix) immediately - no real SEs 7 weeks later apart from hot flashes and a bit of fatigue (I know more will come later). Blood tests taken last week before I was put on Enzalutamide - PSA had dropped to 0.88... I thought I'd misheard when she told me.

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
I guess as long as the
Firmagon
is working I'll stay with it but it would be nice to go through it twice a year instead of every month.
