Sources of PSA During ADT Break
Since then I have been on intermittent
Lupron
( 3 month shorts). Currently, I am on my second break from June 2021 (last three month short in March 2021). My PSA has risen from 0.10 at the start of the break to 0.51 now with recent testosterone of 72.

Next Move
I've been on
Lupron
, Zytiga, Prednisone for 3 years now and it appears that it has run it's course. I am grateful that it has worked for this long, but it appears I will be needing to make a move to the next therapy.

When it rains it pours - Newest 4th Med Onc visit 2 days ago. Extensive ~ 75 min. Most comprehensive cancer eval ever.
Yes my PSA doubled from 0.156 Dec to 0.300 Feb 2022, yes I've been off
Lupron
since June 2021. Despite last dose of
Lupron
June last year, MO suspects I am spontaneously castrated and may not need more
Lupron
. Ok.

Facing my dad's dying days
An hour later, he was getting his
lupron
injection (
lupron
wasn't available, so they used the substitute). On 3/21 we had our initial visit with my dad's radiation oncologist. Then he got the CT scan and simulation. On 3/25 his radiation treatment started (so fast!

Need ADT advice
I expect to get my first
Lupron
shot this week as an appetizer for staring RT in about 2 months. Reading all the side effects of
Lupron
gives me the willies. I can deal with man boobs, maybe even hot flashes and mood changes.

EBRT Experience
I'm on
Lupron
for 18 months (6 down), and have brachytherapy in 2 weeks. All in all not too bad for the EBRT - seems it was cumulative within a week and overall. I kept active - climbing 2x a week, lifting 2x a week, and a hike or ski here or there.

lupron
lasted 2 years, then psa started to rise to 70 then down to 55 scans showed no new disease, stable.

When to consider chemo?
I had my first Prostap (=
Lupron
) injection two weeks ago and had my first consultation with the MO this week. He is planning to put me on Enzalutamide shortly and IMRT is a likely option further down the line when the ADT has shrunk the cancer.

Time to radiation treatment
Hi Everyone, In May 2020, my PSA was undetectable and CT and bone scans showed small lesions in a regional lymph node (I am on
Lupron
, Zytiga, and had chemo). Since last August my PSA has increased slightly from .03 in Aug, .05 in November, and .06 last December.

Supplement for libido enhancement
I have been off of
Lupron
for about 1 year. I find my libido is still weak and was hoping someone could offer some advice on a supplement that may help me in this area of enhancing my libido. I’ve tried Maca Root.. doesn’t seem to help.. Would appreciate some advice in this area.

ADT & the gut microbiome.
Not good, & presumably worse for the more efficient Abiraterone than
Lupron
, say.

Update w/ Questions: Tumor growth w/o PSA rise; Chemo Round 2, Cabazitaxel This Time
Quick recap: diagnosed in 2010 at age 44, got robotic RP, then eventually radiation, then chemo (taxotere/docetaxel) and adt (
Lupron
) in 2016. My psa stayed slow growing for awhile, kept down by 10 months of casodex before growing.

Why I feel alive...still
So far after the RP, the scans, the bloodwork, the
Lupron
shots and the Erleada, I'm one lucky man in that the PSA is undetectable, I appear to only have mild symptoms of the usual side effects and so without any real external identification, life goes on with full time work and readying for a vacation
