We have had two shots of
firmagon
as well as taking Erleada daily. PSA down to 45. Next week we start Zytiga and Lupron. We have not had another scan done as of yet. He is achy from bone pain because of the Mets, all over his body... and of course hot flashes.

Non standard Firmagon dosing effective for 3 months from single injection.
My ongoing one-person trial of non-standard dosing for
Firmagon
(degarelix) for ADT continues: I'm now 3 months out from a single injection of 120Mg. in abdomen fat. (Not the usual starting dose of 240 mg.) as short term adjuvant ADT for RT to pelvic nodes.

About to start zytiga with lupron after chemo
He was given 1 month of
firmagon
followed by lupron and 6 doses of taxotere. His psa went from 112 to 1 by November. Scans were good per the doctor. Come December 30th the psa was 1.9 and yesterday it was 3.25. We are going down to see about a trial that combines zytiga and lynparza.

Can Xtandi actually kill advanced prostate cancer?
When I stopped Xtandi and
Firmagon
my PSA was 0.000 and had been at zero for about 8 months thanks to the Xtandi. After 3 months of no ADT drugs, my testosterone is at 90 and PSA is still at 0.000 ! The only known mets have been to pelvic LNs that were removed at time of RP.

Leuprolide: Eligard VS Lupron (1 month, 3 month, 6 months)
============== Also: What about
Firmagon
(degarelix). I understand that it is an antagonist whereas Eligard and Lupron are agonists? Is that so? That doesn't sound so right to me?
