IMRT
. When he had a BCR he went on a diet of: 6 cokes per day - DQ double cheeseburgers with fries - DQ Milk Shake and a DQ Blizzard. PSA went to <.1 and has stayed there over 2 years.

Doctors won't order labs to track ADT side effects
I did get one blood count test which shows anemia from adt, as what happened 7 years ago during intial adt treatment before
imrt
, when the other dr was allowing me to have labs. But the current med onc just mentioned when i told them - its expected and then changed the subject.

New to the group
The post operative PSA of .5 lead to
IMRT
radiation treatment between August and October of 2014. Post radiation PSA never got lower than .2. I have been following the progression of the PCa ever since. The PSA has been rising at about .1 a month and the last reading in November 2017 was 2.3.

Ten year battle is over.
After 10 years of ADT, brachytherapy,
IMRT
, HDK, Xtandi, Zytiga, Xofigo, etc., my husband, Bob, passed away on Monday evening, November 6. He was able to go to Duke in late August and was approved for Keytruda under Merck's open access program.

Merry Chemo Christmas!!
In summary - RP in 2015,
IMRT
in 2016 both failed to stop disease progression - PSA was 7.5 in Apr 2017 when I started ADT, by Nov 2017, PSA had reached 15.9. Gregg57 suggested that the issue might be neuroendicrine PCa and and advised me to look out for visceral met.s.

Should I Pay for Enzalutamide
I started ADT in May (my PSA had risen to 7.5 after
IMRT
in 2016). Unfortunately I am in the small group of me who have 'primary ADT resistance' and my PSA is now 21 after 6 months of ADT. Not a good look! I am seeing MO next week, chemo is likely.

Imrt best practices?
So I am to start
imrt
next week and tend to think my dr. Is just winging it on protocol. He says to stop vitamin c and e. Also to cut out any flatulent causing foods like whole grains for the duration. Also drink 32 ounces of water prior to treatment.

Does A Plant-based Diet cure Cancer?
The only side effect of ADT is no libido - but then again, I had pretty bad ED after surgery and
IMRT
, viagra wasn't working and injections were losing effectiveness so I can't really blame ADT.
