Questioning treatment plan for advanced prostate cancer?
Treatment is
Lupron
and radiation therapy[i] anytime in the next 6 months[/i]. Apparently there’s no rush to treat advanced PCa. [Another member posted that her husband’s oncologists refused to radiate his hilar lymph node due to possible damage to lungs, heart - ours aren’t concerned - I asked.]

ADT running out, treatment ongoing...
Because of sloppiness and delays at every step, my ADT (
lupron
6 mo) is running out in about 1.5 weeks. Brachy is scheduled later than that so my ADT will be over by then. What to do? I’m sure the uro is oblivious. Should i ask for more? And what length of time?

Three months of Lupron
I have been on the 3 month
Lupron
. Aside from my butt hurting for two days I have tolerated it well. Doc offered 6 month but I’m staying with the three months because I have had no issues.

Should i include docetaxel with lupron +darolutamide.
I was thinking in lieu of chemo, I could include a 5aReductase inhibitor RAD-140 I also asked for low dose estrogen 0.1mg patch after 30 days on
lupron
to reduce the hot flashes, bone, and muscle health. He doesn’t recommend 5aReductase, or E2 patch.

Please weigh in on Treatment Plan
Following surgery radiation +
Lupron
. When PSA started climbing again, he was in Dr. Aggarwal's Androgen Annihilation trial for 1 year (Degarelix + Abiraterone + Apalutamide + Prednison). He stayed non-detectable for 1 year post trial and now, but PSA has been on the rise.

My PSA After Radiation
For those who follow me- Radiation of my largest tumor after 10 years of ADT (
Lupron
and Zytiga) appears to have been "successful". My PSA had steadily climbed the last year up to a high of .32 and the doubling time increase was a concern. PSMA scan indicated "activity" in only my largest tumor.

Follow up to my post 3 days ago about PSA rising after Lupron "vacation."
My MO said yesterday that an increase in PSA from several years of undetectable to 0.13 in 3 steps over 4 months is still so low that it does not warrant restarting ADT or any other treatment. So, I'll be getting blood draws every 2 months and the PSA will be monitored. I'm not quite sure why I thought

Lupron vs testicle
Why would onocoligist want to use
lupron
with known cardio side effects vs testcle removal. I'm now having cardio problems and was never given removal as a choice. I was 78 but surgery would have been easier than
lupron
side effects.

Does ADT always shrink prostate?
If you go on ADT (
lupron
6 mo) and your prostate does not shrink, is that a sign that the ADT is not working?

Lupron and infusion (Taxotere/Docetaxel) on the same day?
Has anybody had a
Lupron
injection + taxotere/docetaxel infusion on the same day? Were the side effects worse or the same as receiving them separately, more than a week apart? I am scheduled for a double whammy in two weeks. Considering asking to postpone the
Lupron
by a week.

Arrhythmia and Zytiga
I have been on abiraterone for about a year and a half along with
Lupron
. I’m currently seeing a cardiologist because the last two weeks I’ve developed heart palpitations/arrhythmia.
