Other Gleason 8 guys, I see in studies, research and in on going trials, Radical Prostatectomy shows better over all survival
Started
Firmagon
7/6/2022 Zytiga with Prednisone 7/20/2022 and Docetaxel Chemotherapy on 08/11/2022 Ductal Prostate Cancer is aggressive, it cannot be monitored by psa score alone. As it can still spread by low non existing psa numbers.

Nubeqa failing onto C-94676 clinical trial
Began with
Firmagon
loading dose then switched to Lupron. Had 45 IMRT radiation treatments in 2015. When PSA began to rise I was prescribed bicalutamide where my PSA began to once again rise after having been undetectable for several years and in March of 2021 placed on darolutamide.

OK, a little good news , what is next?
Firmagon
for 1 month in June and switch to Orgovyx. Psa test in sept shows a rise to 27.98. MO says do another test in six weeks. Today it is 19. Now we are getting somewhere right? Can I assume now I am castrate sensative?

Prostate Cancer-Thoughts
He has had radiation three different times,
Firmagon
, Zytiga and Prednisone. His testosterone is low and his PSA did get as low as 2 but then started rising. It is now 300 but he is only on six month Lupron right now. He is castrate-resistant.

On Triplicate Therapy, Docetaxel, MO has made no suggestion to do PSMA Scan, CT Scan or MRI to see if treatment is working.

PSA rising - When to get a PSMA PET scan?
A year of Degarelix (
Firmagon
) + Apalutamide (Erleada) bought me more than 2 years of undetectable PSA. Now the PSA is climbing past 0.5 with a doubling time of about 5.5 months so a GA68 PSMA PET scan is probably the next move. I wonder how long to wait before getting the scan.

What type of scan? Can we get an X-ray of just the back of neck to see if a new met has appeared? Or does it have to be a MRI or Cat Scan?

Using transdermal E2
Has anyone switched from using Lupron (or any 1st or 2nd level ADT, such as
Firmagon
, abiraterone, etc.) directly to transdermal E2? 2. Has anyone who has used it eventually become castrate resistant, as with ADT? 3.

6 months in and ADT already failing
Firmagon
and Zytiga. Was scheduled to have surgery, but that's off the table since its spread to lymph nodes in neck region. Starting chemo next week. Looking for stories of hope. How long do we have? To know its already MCRPC is devastating.

Is Pluvicto worth pursuing?
Started ADT with
Firmagon
April, 2021, and Xtandi May, 2021. Didn't tolerate ADT well with extreme fatigue, weight loss, muscle loss, food tastes bad, chronic sinus inflammation.

Rather quick failing of Firmagon
Firmagon
brought it down to 13 but failed after just 6 months. Now on Orgovyx and Xtandi. My concern is the relative quick failing of
Firmagon
. Would this indicate that the Xtandi will also fail quickly? Thanks!

Flomax and PC
Was taking Flomax before being diagnosed with PC, Gleason 8 Had 45 radiation treatments, currently taking Zytiga and Prednisone daily and monthly injections of
Firmagon
. Question: Should I stop taking Flomax while being treated for PC? Thanks in advance.
