Dealing with crMPc
Now on
Firmagon
, seems that isn't working now either. Appointment with Oncologist tomorrow and probably will do Provenge treatment along with either Zytiga or Xtandi. Looking at Xtandi because of no steroid needed and can be taken with or without food.

Pump Suggestions
Currently treated with
firmagon
and trial chemo of 40 mg Cabozantinim. I am interested in using a pump for erections. I take so many pills I just don't want any more medication. Any with pump experience, would like to know which have been easiest to use and reasonable cost. Thanks!

Soon starting the hormone and salvage radiation journey...
I'm told the hormone shots will be
Firmagon
and radiation with a "broad brush" over the entire pelvic area for 8 weeks. I've been resisting the idea, but I give up! Side effects of these two treatments can be minimal to severe, which is why I hesitate.

THE LAST LEG OF THE JOURNEY: Hospice Care
Where the
Firmagon
or Lupron frequently causes weight gain in a lot of guys, I lost so much weight and muscle mass that I am very emaciated.

Firmagon side effects
My husband got his first two injections if
Firmagon
two days ago. He did have a reaction in the form of two large, red blotches at the injection sites. The evening of the second day they were larger and very warm to the touch. He also had a slight fever of 100.6.

Recurrence with undetectable PSA?
Treatment was 79 Gys IMRT/IGRT plus 3 years of ADT (
Firmagon
). My PSA went undetectable in 11/09 and has remained so ever since (<0.015 in 2/16). Even though I stopped ADT in 2/12, I have remained castrate (so much for a hormone holiday!) T =13 ng/dl in 2/16.

Low PSA with a Gleason 8 diagnosis
The bad news is that even though I had my last
Firmagon
shot four years ago, I have also remained castrate ever since. So much for a "hormone holiday." My testosterone seems to have permanently left the station.
