Casodex after castration resistance?
After being undetectable on mono HT (Zoladex) for 67 months my dad's PSA started climbing in December 2022. In March it was 0.05. His testosterone level also rose from 0.6 to 1.2. The doctor recommended to add Casodex. After a month, in April his PSA was 0.024 and testosterone was 0.9. I have two questions

Back on ADT
Restarted ADT 3/15/23 with my Lupron shot followed quickly with Xtandi 160mg daily. My PSA peaked to 3.36 on 3/7/23 and then 4/3/23 1.65 5/1/23 .34 So hoping the trend continues downward. Not sure if a slow or quick drop is better on recurrence. My RO said, when asked, "lower is better". Its getting

GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER, BACK PAIN AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
I have 8 fragility
fractures
. 2 have been plastied. Had the Zolendronic Infusion last Friday. Of course, they couldn't understand my rheumy's sketchy instructions. Was very anxious about this. I explained the anxiety to the nurses, who kept me well distracted.

VERTEBROPLASTY OP WENT FINE - SO FAR, SO GOOD
However, I have "many small spinal
fractures
" to be dealt with after these heal. One day at a time. Because it was done in Interventional Radiology, they were able to take scans and pics throughout the procedure. Halifax is blessed to have this state-of-the-art facility.

Knee Surgery and Xtandi
Hello everyone, I am scheduled for Knee surgery soon because of an injury pre cancer. The surgeon and the anesthesiologist asked the question about taking Xtandi during surgery etc. My MO said to take it until the day before and then stop for like 2 weeks. Xtandi has driven my PSA to Undetectable

Orchidectomy?
I have no plans to have an orchidectomy but I’m curious why some men do get them. I get that it allows one to avoid needing the periodic injections. But as I understand it one still has to take something to deal with the testosterone that is still produced by the adrenal glands even after the orchidectomy

zoledronic acid infusion
Just over a year ago I incurred 4 vertebrae
fractures
, incredibly painful, but I gradually recovered. Sadly I lost 2” in height. Subsequently I was sent for an MRI and, after, I received a letter from the hospital strongly suggesting that I start taking Alendronic acid.

so scared
My husband, 60, just got an MRI report that stated aggressive metastatic prostate carcinoma >15 that spread to bladder and anus walls. We have an appointment with the urologist in 3 days. This feels so hopeless. Symptoms have been difficulty urinating mostly. PSA ranging 5-7 over the past month. IS THERE

P1NP Blood test.
After 15 spontaneous
fractures
since 2018, he’s decided to do a P1NP blood test. Naturally, I’ve read about it, but my question is, have any of you benefitted or had a change in treatment as a result of what the test shows ?

Thoughts on switching from firmagon to lupron
I have been on firmagon and zytiga since December 2021. I seem to be tolerating both well (normal effects of fatigue, loss of strength, some foggiest). Liver and kidney numbers are goo and PSA is undetectable. Recently, after each firmagon shot, I get body aches and feel bad for about a day-but even
