I'm now castrate resistant - what now?
I've been on Prostap (I believe it UK
Lupron
equivalent) and 50mg Bicalutamide and my nadir (around 0.7 has now doubled over the past 6 months. My current reading is 3.1 (12 wks ago, it was 1.5) So the trend is clear, and I see my onco this afternoon.

Nubeqa and LDH level was high now normal
OK,I have been on Nubeqa 10 months Continuing on
Lupron
monthly. My choice to do monthly. Anyway my LDH level has been high, as high as 285. But yesterday it was 213 - normal. Any ideas on what this might mean?

LU177? Or? So many questions!
Since then did VERY well with
Lupron
/Casodex (combined) so that after 9-12 months on I would get 1-2 year HT vacations. Twice I did scans followed by SBRT (also included 3-month HT shot) which did great...but of course the eventual PSA wake-up call.

Depression from 2nd-generation hormone therapy is worse
I found a JAMA paper on the NIH website titled: Association of Second-generation Antiandrogens With Depression Among Patients With Prostate Cancer It noted that hormone therapy (like first gen
Lupron
) has a higher incidence of depression as a side effect but that the 2nd-generation meds for castration-resistant

Back to plan B - No longer chasing Lu177
Still continuing with Xgeva &
Lupron
every 3 months. He has tolerated chemo, although it's been cumulative and his "bad" days have been increasing harder on him. My hope is that he'll tolerate Xofigo well. I know we'll have to watch his blood counts through this.

Treatment recommendation
Soon starting 18 months of ADT and salvage radiation and my Oncologist is giving me the choice between
Lupron
/Casodex or Orgovyx. I'm leaning towards Orgovyx. Does anyone have any thoughts between the two? Thanks!

My experience and being my own advocate
I get a
Lupron
injection once every three months 4 pills, Zytiga with prednisone a day. My PSA has Been below 1 or slightly above that. Three months ago it started to climb and was 2. I , on my own , began taking 6 250 mg of Zytiga and in a month cut my PSA in half.

Prostap (Lupron) Effects
Diagnosed 11 years ago, I am T3b non-metastatic and have had one month of Bicalutamide and six months of Prostap (
Lupron
). Indeed my PSA has dropped dramatically and my testosterone is currently not in production mode. This is common treatment prior to IMRT. The effects have been quite severe.

Tinnitus
I've been on
Lupron
, Zytiga and Prednisone for five months since diagnosis six months ago. Been doing excellent, with no side effects that I know of. Last night I woke up with very high pitched tinnitus. Thank God it subsided after I got up and walked around.

Lupron Substitute
I was given
Lupron
every 3 months for my first 9 months and then switched to something that was injected into my abdominal muscles every 3 months. Any idea of what the second round was and it’s effectiveness? I was told that there was a shortage of
Lupron
during the pandemic. Now back on
Lupron
.

If I do, or if I don't...
Began 24 month
Lupron
in October followed in November with whole bed radiation/boost to hotspots on two lump nodes (identified by PSMA scan) which was completed the second week in January. Last week my PSA was 1.7. My MO said retest in September, and that testing before then only creates anxiety.

PYLARIFY diagnostic could not find prostate cancer cells, then a surprise!
Lupron
every six months. After two years,
Lupron
was replaced with 22.5mg. Eligard (quarterly), and 60mg. Prolia every six months.

2 months post Orgovyx
A little background, 10 months of
lupron
/Eligard followed by12 months of orgovyx. I stopped using orgovyx two months ago and my psa came in at <.02 and testosterone rebounded to 233. I thought that was quite impressive for only two months.

Cyclic high dose testosterone + Nubeqa
He said if this fails my next step is docetaxel and
lupron
. All of this has me really nervous and I hope I'm getting the best advice from my MO. Thoughts?

Xtandi and sex
I'm looking to start Xtandi WITHOUT
Lupron
or its equivalents. My question is "does Xtandi destroy libido like
Lupron
?" Any user responses will be appreciated.

I’m new here. Does Carboplatin sound right for my next course of treatment?
Currently on
Lupron
but stopped Zytiga because my PSA is rising. My PSA increased from 0.13 to 0.52 in a 3 three month span. My Oncologist wants to begin chemo with Carboplatin, but what other effective options are there.

My #1 support person & me
I was on
lupron
injections for almost 1 year. I didn’t like the pain for 5 days after injection plus insurance only paid half the cost so I got an orchiectomy. I don’t regret that. Several months after the orchiectomy, my PSA level went up so my urologist said it’s time to see an oncologists.
