Experience, thus far with Lupron and Abiraterone
I am 78 years old. I was diagnosed in May 2022 with PCa after my PSA was measured at 23.79. I have no other health issues. Following the determination that PCa was still within the prostrate capsule and had not spread to any other organ, I was placed on Lupron (6 monthly IM injections for 2 years). Clinically

PSA Roller Coaster ride!
Back a couple days ago, I posted a question about my PSA being undectable since July 2022. (<0.01) then this month is up to 2.22. I asked what is next etc. I had an appointment with my MO on 19 Dec 2023, they generally do lab work at the cancer center before they give me lupron. I ask them if

ERLEADA brain dead
Hey guys, everyone has been truly helpful on this site I keep posting as I endure my 18-24 months of hormone therapy that I have remaining. The last leg based on the Stampede Trial. I started on Lupron and Zytiga after successful radiation to my lymph node. This was seven years after proton radiation

After Radiation, what should PSA be?
intermediate pc, with 3+4, 3+4, and 4+3. PSMA clean. Went through SBRT, am on Lupron. Seven months in. usual side effects, especially exhaustion. I went for a PSA and testosterone test today. Should my PSA be undetectable?

Steroid side effects?
After my GCA diagnosis I am on 40 mg Medrol at the moment. The classic GCA symptoms like headache, jaw pain, scalp tenderness 99% gone. Also my dry cough is totally stopped. But.. I have other weird and frustrating symptoms. Constant tinnitus, ear pressure, tingling feeling in both of my feet and sole

PSA on the rise
Good morning everyone, my PSA has been undectable, {<.01} since July 2022. Not real long, but it has been a good time. Felt good, no pain, can look on my profile for more details. I am on Xtandi and Lupron--(3 months). (I had taxetere in 2021) I get my PSA checked every three months right before

Fallout from PET/CT Scan
My PET/CT scan on November 1 detected progression of metastatic prostate cancer while on Lupron. This made my cancer castrate resistant and I am on Abiraterone 1000 mg + Prednisone 5 mg. The PET/CT report also stated severe coronary artery calcification. Yesterday I had CT scan of the heart. The report

PSA Numbers and 3rd Round of Docetaxel
Hi all - so first an update. Had 3rd chemo session out of 6 yesterday and at least in my experience things are going really well all things considered. Lost hair on balls first then finally head and facial but elsewhere it is good. No issues with hand or feets. No nausea or fatigue. In fact I had

Now what? Second go-around of docetaxel not responding.
I am 65 years old and was Diagnosed 8 years ago with stage 4 PC. Metastasis to hips, pelvis, ribs and many lymph nodes. Took 6 rounds of docetaxel followed by ongoing Lupron injections and then 3 years of Zytiga. PSA was driven down to 2.0 from 76 with 1st 6 rounds of docetaxel. Zytiga drove PSA down

Small cell advanced prostate cancer spread to liver and lungs.
This is a request for a near neighbour and friend of mine, Justin, who lives 2 streets away in the UK. He is appx. 53. Please do not read the history in my profile as that sadly relates to me. Justin was diagnosed with a PSA over 100 and widespread to bones. Justin has burned through the treatments in

Intense jaw pain (pt.2)
Three months ago my husband developed intense right jaw pain. After multiple scans showing "something" (thankfully no PSMA activity) he had a surgical bone biopsy 11/29. Two days ago we received the pathology report but have not been able to speak with the Dr. to help us understand it. The good news

Testosterone issue.
I had a follow up visit with my PCP last month. Of course he knows about my advanced PC. He ordered a round of lab blood exams, as always. About a week later, I got a call from his office to tell me PCP is is concerned about low testosterone count<50 and wants to repeat lab exam, they told me come early

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports

orgovyx
I have 5 unopened bottles of orgovyx 120. My husband can no longer tolerate the side effects and is going back on Lupron… Looking to donate them as they were 100% covered by his insurance so didn’t cost us anything

When to do certain blood tests and why.
Just coming up on my 6 month anniversary of radiation and my 2 months prior to radiation and 4 months post Lupron while on radiation. So I have been off Lupron for 2 months. I had my annual physical yesterday and my GP had ordered complete blood panel with thyroid and PSA. There were no issues with blood

Does Gabapentin for hot flashes?
Hello - My Med Onc recommended black cohosh for hot flashes under Lupron and abi. After more than 2 months it is not working well enough for me. Last night I tried 300mg of Gabapentin left over from back problems last year and it seemed to do much better, no episodes all night. I was a bit groggy
