Firmagon vs. Lupron?
My doc wants me to switch from
Firmagon
to Lupron so that’ll be on a 3 month schedule instead of the every 30 day shot with
Firmagon
. Which is the better of these two drugs? I started with
Firmagon
bases on its supposed lower risk for CVD. Not sure what to do.

Treatment of Inguinal hernia after RP and Axumin scan?
Plus likely start of
Firmagon
ADT about that time. Plus likely Varian Edge targeted radiology about that time an hour away in Kennewick WA, but we need to see Axumin results first.

PSA drop VMAT-radiation
We are talking to the doctor today and I’m going to suggest
Firmagon
but I know that the doctor might (not sure) think that we ”destroy the instrument” of PSA-testing.

What are the pros and cons of intermittent vs. continuous ADT?
I’ve elected to take monthly
Firmagon
injections over Lupron because of the reported lower risk of CVD. My MO is indicating I will have to stay on
Firmagon
continuously until I become castrate resistant.

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).

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.
