MOST RECENT PSA and TESTOSTERONE TEST
I've only been on
Firmagon
for 1 year and 4 months so I hope it doesn't mean the drug is starting to fail. I have an appointment with my Dr. this coming Wednesday and I'll see what he has to say.

Thank you everybody
I called my MO's office this morning and left a voice mail detailing my declining status and the fact that I was done with eligard and wanted to be reinstated on
firmagon
. So a nurse got back to me at 11:00 am and I'm scheduled to go get my shot at 1:00 pm.

Divergent second opinion
He has started
Firmagon
+ Darulotomide with Docetaxel planned in the coming weeks. We also got a second opinion from an MO at another NCCN. He reviewed the PSMA Pet scan with the chief radiologist there and they think that maybe just 3 of the mets would have shown up with conventional imaging.

Which treatment option best for recurrent oligo?
One month
Firmagon
(synergy with the SBRT) followed by six months Bicalutamide since he says that is as efficient as
Firmagon
for low-volume metastatic disease with less side effects. SUV max for the two mets is 27 and 35.

Asking for advice
I had
Firmagon
shot twice before RP and switched ADT to Eligard. Then I started 25 sessions of IMRT. All the treatments was done within 3 and half months. Now I am exhausted. I am going to have second 6-months Eligard next week.

ADT response and questions for MO
Started on
firmagon
in Nov, degalarix added in Dec, EBRT planned for this month, 40 sessions (over 8 weeks), but wont find out details until we see MO on Tuesday. So a few questions:1. On 29 Jan PSA was 0.21 ug/L, testosterone was 0.4nmol/L - that looks like a very good response to me ... is it?

timing between Lupron injections
After 17 months on
firmagon
injections, I switched to the 84 day lupron injection on June 15. How far can the 84 days be safely extended? I am currently scheduled for another injection on September 14, which is 91 days.

Erleada side effects
Would like to hear from those with personal experience that have added Erleada to ADT ( Lupron,
Firmagon
, Orgovyx). What additional side effects did you experience ( fatigue, cognitive, lab test changes, rash, etc). Not looking for studies or drug mfg info, I'm able to look at that.

Day After Firmagon Injection
Is it normal to feel like crap the day after a
Firmagon
injection? I had my monthly injection at 11:00, I felt OK all that day, didn't sleep at all that night and feel lousy today.

PSA & T is up
Doctor also wondered if the Lupron just isn’t working and we should switch back to
Firmagon
. His oncologist told us that he may be eligible for Pluvicto but in his experience it stops working once you are done finished with the treatments.
