PSA analysis 6 months after radiation
In January I will be 6 months post radiation to the prostrate and complete pelvic area. I was on Lupron for 6 months - 1 month prior and 5 months post radiation. I also was on Casodex for one month prior to the start of Lupron to lessen the flare. At 3 months post radiation PSA and Testosterone were

Husband has passed
Well, group, sad news from our house. Pete has passed on. He seemed to be doing quite well with ADT treatment Lupron/ea 3 months, plus bone shot, and Abiraderone 250 mg daily for 2 1/2 yrs. Had all the terrible side effects you all experience. On no medication other than that. No other illnesses.

Orchiectomy
I have metastatic cp to the bone. I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current PSA is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also

TRT Causing Breast Enlargement
Has anyone on this site experienced breast enlargement while on TRT? Just curious as to how common this is. Am considering it because two years after ADT. (18 months Lupron and Bicalutamide) my T level is 66, PSA .28.

Where to get Orgovyx?
Starting SBRT , likely next week with ADT starting at the time. I got my doc to prescribe Orgovyx rather than Lupron. On Medicare with Part D. Turns out Walgreens and Walmart cannot get Orgovyx. CVS said they could route it through a specialty pharmacy but could take 4 weeks. How have those of you taking

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans

Lupron Shot - Numbness in Quads Muscles
I got my 1st Lupron shot into right hip muscle 4 weeks ago. It was painful! But pain went away in 5 min. 3 weeks later I started experiencing pain in my quads and some numbness. I was told that next time, it's preferred to do it in the left hip. I'm afraid, I might have the same problems with my left

Abiraterone Caused High Blood Pressure
I started Lupron 3 month +Abiraterone + Prednisone almost 4 weeks ago. In 4 weeks, my Blood Counts went down (see indicators below). My Blood Pressure is higher than before (90 - 148). Medical Oncologist says that it's common for blood pressure to go up and that I should monitor it and start taking

Eligard vs Lupron
is there any significant difference between Lupron and Eligard…? I am focused on the Stampede protocol and it seems to specify Lupron.

Leg Pain - 4th Week on Lupron
Hi Friends, I'm on 4th week of ADT (Lupron+Abiraterone). Yesterday I started feeling right upper leg pain in the quads area. I'm not sure whether it's bone or muscle pain. But it's getting worse. I can barely walk. At first I was thinking may be I strained it. But I didn't do anything different than

PSA increase.
My PSA has increased from .13 to .73 in 3 1/2 months. Does this mean I am castrate resistant. Or does it need to increase over a couple more samples first. Can my PSA change this much for other reasons. I am currently on Lupron. Thanks for any input.

Lupron
Be very careful – in that if you have any heart problems, make sure you have regular appointments with your cardiologist. I have a replaced Mitral heart value which is stainless steel valve. The Lupron damaged my heart – in a regular heart beat 85% to 90% of the blood is pumped thru the heart with every

Sword of Damocles
Hi, I am a month away from completing my initial treatment (external beam and brachytherapy, followed by 2 years of Lupron, Zytiga, and prednisone). I am not sure what to expect as my oncologist was not effusive in showing me a life I can expect. I expect that withing 3-4 months my psa will tell me

Treatment for bone pain?
A friend of mine is experiencing severe bone pain from advanced prostate cancer. His MO is prescribing morphine ( tablets). He says it does help.

Proton treatment - fatigue?
Partner is 66 and has Gleason 7=4+3. He began ADT 4 months ago, with 1 month Lupron shot, then Orgovyx. Other than having some ADT mild fatigue, generally later getting up in the morning, sleepiness around 3 pm, and going to bed a bit earlier, things have pretty much been the same. No hot flashes

Stuffy Ears
Hello all, I have been on Lupron now for 14 months, out of a scheduled 24. About 5 weeks ago, I began to suffer from stuffy ears. Today, my hearing has decreased such that I can no longer hear my alarm clock or phone. I was examined by my PCP, but she didn’t see anything. She referred me to the audiologist
