Hrt advice
Good morning I started Trazodone in April and unfortunately this too affects my restless legs . I’ve taken dopamine pills for years for my symptoms and feel this has contributed to me feeling depressed. I’ve been clear of these awful pills for a long time and now take Gabapentin . I’m considering

ADT’s effectiveness and reason for limited success of chemo on prostrate cancer
I was wondering why they don’t just give chemo for Prostrate cancer irrespective of hormone sensitivity. Chemotherapy drugs destroy all rapidly dividing cells (even hair) so why would prostrate cancer cells be spared? I was trying to understand if ADT really kills PC cells or just makes them hibernate

palliative radiation treatment questions
In my prior (first) post, I shared about my 82 year old father’s condition. Thanks for all the helpful and thoughtful responses from this community. He has gone off Goserelin (ADT) injection and now just on bicalutamide pills. As his testosterone seems to have returned, he’s now having more energy

PSA holding low!!
Hi all, I just want to give notice to everyone :-) that the PSA is still at a low level after almost 3 years of ADT. So it was 0.03 in July last year. In January it fell to 0.01 and now it went up meaningless, I hope, to 0.02. Good health to everyone!

Xtandi and Intermittent
I started Xtandi 2 months ago and got PSA undetectable. <.001. Now, my doctor suggest me to reduce from 4 tablets per say to 3 tablets per day. A month ago, I say "no", reasoning that reduction of the amount may create an early resistance to Xtandi. But he is persistent. He said no necessarily.

adt prior to radiation treatment
The urologist wants to use Lupron prior to radiation treatment and I am wondering if I should insist on Orgovyx instead. Are there studies I can go into my appointment with to support?

I started Kliovance a couple of weeks ago. I've been menopausal for 8.5 years and finally caved in to taking HRT as I was fed up with brain fog coming and going.My head is a little clearer but I'm easily upset and grumpy. I'm also repulsed by sex (before taking the tablets I just couldn't be bothered

Testosterone after ADT?
My pre-ADT testosterone was 620. Now, after four months of ADT (and radiation), it's 9. My ADT prison sentence ends September 31 (Orgovyxx). A couple guys at my gym have offered to hook me up starting in November to get my T back up quickly. I know doctors will say this is not a good idea, but is there

Remedy that works for me
Hi guys. Haven't been on here in a long time but recently I seem to have come across a combination of meds & supplements that really seem to have worked for me. So I've had IBS for over 30 years (mainly IBS C but regular episodes of IBS D too) and more or less managed it for many years, up until entering

Does taking chemo upfront reduce chances of the cancer morphing into more aggressive variants in the future ?
My PSA at diagnosis was relatively low at 21 and scans showed multiple bone mets. My oncologist said that puts me at a greater risk of the cancer morphing Into a more aggressive one in the future compared to someone who had come with a psa of 400-500. Is this correct ? Would doing chemotherapy

Verzenio alone
I was wondering if anyone has used Verzenio after Ibrance and Fulvestrant have failed? I did get a couple good years on the Ibrance/Fulvestrant I am ER+ HR- and have used all my hormone treatment options and am facing IV Chemo. However my Dr. says Verzenio may be an option. ‘Thanks for any encouraging

4 month ADT holiday
I’ve been given 4 months ADT holiday with no treatment Then more blood tests to see how things are going. I was finding it hard to concentrate when reading as I was so tired. I’m already feeling more awake after 2 days of stopping Abiraterone and my balance seems to be improving. Doing some gym work

Pain everywhere.
I've been 10+ yrs searching for answers. I had some bladder problems in 2013. Doctors did surgery. I almost died. Apparently they told me my blood vessels looked funny. They didn't know if they "knicked " me or what but I lost 8 pints of blood very quickly. They barely got me transfusion in time. I chalked
