paxlovid and abiraterone
there may already be posts like this, and If there are I’m sorry, I couldn’t find them! my dad is covid positive (first time!). I read on here in the past some of you said that you can’t take paxlovid with abiraterone? He is on that, flomax and lupron. I know it’s better to take paxlovid before it

BP with abiraterone + prednisone, eplerenone, dexamethasone
I have been on Lupron and abiraterone with (initially) prednisone for 4.5 years, which has maintained my PSA at <0.1 since 111 at diagnosis. I have all the usual side effects. One that doesn't bother me day-to-day, but definitely concerns me, is hypertension. Before PCa, I had moderately high BP, which

Confused - who can give me ADT injections?
Need some help with this. I traveled out of town to a Proton treatment Center of Excellence, and it was determined that I would start ADT upon returning home. So I got back home, contacted the RO who had originally seen me and suggested the Proton treatment, then set up an appointment to go into the

Positive results, Pluvicto
I’m at Mayo for my third Pluvicto (Lutetium-177) treatment. Yesterday, I had a PSMA Pet scan to check on progress. I’m happy to report that it’s all positive at this point in the game. I include below the “findings” on the radiology report from the scan which speaks for itself. I look forward to hearing

PSA drop after ADT
My PSA went from 14.9 ug/l in May to 5.9 ug/l in June to 0.24 ug/l when tested 2 days ago after Lupron injection 3 months ago. Naturally I'm very relieved over the drop.My oncologist has pretty much left the decision to me on the ADT duration. I had earlier voiced my reservation about ADT on account

ED No More (the prequel)
I've had so many comments since my post "ED no more" that I felt I should offer more. I'm a neophyte on this site. As a matter of fact I avoid this site. I have always adopted an "ignorance is bliss" attitude towards life and my PC. My wife, on the other hand, is a nervous but adventurous individual

Aorto-caval lymph nodes
Has anyone had radiation treatment to the aorto-caval lymph nodes? I have mildly avid nodes there that are not responding to Lupron. My RO wants to treat the entire area, not just spot treat with Cyberknife. He seems confident he can safely treat the area.

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4 PSA dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga. Yea

Radium-223 + Xtandi?
I’ve been on chemo (cabazitaxel + carboplatin) since Jan 2022 and also on Zometa and Lupron. PSA went from 1.3 in Jan 2023 to 11.7 this month. CT and Bone scans show bone mets somewhat stable but with activity, all bone no soft tissue. PET PSMA earlier this year did not show enough tracer activity

radiation decisions and second and third opinions
My dad was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. It has metastasized to two pelvic lymph nodes and a lymph node in his back they initially called “suspicious” because it’s so small if it wasn’t for the PSMA scan it wouldn’t have been picked up at all. He got his first Lupron shot 3 weeks ago and

Never get tired of annoucing I am STILL undetectable
108 bottles of Zytiga on the shelf. Got my latest PSA and blood test results. Once again, officially 8 years 9 months since November 2014 results, PSA still undetectable at <.008. Another Zero candy bar for me. (I bought a few, and been handing them out like cigars after a new birth.) I have had somewhat

Firmagon vs Lupron vs Orgovyxx
Is there any difference in cost/effectiveness? My urologist wanted me to start hormone therapy with Firmagon, but my radiation oncologist wanted me to go on Orgovyxx instead...any thoughts? Thank you!

Questions about ADT drugs and insurance
Will Medicare cover Lupron injections under part B as it is not self administered (as opposed to pills)? If so how much will they cover (with a supplement plan). Regarding Orgovyx, since it is a pill and not an injection will it be covered under Medicare part D drug coverage? and if so do all of the

who out there has been on Lupron and abiraterone?
who out there has been on Lupron and abiraterone? Who is the longest survivor out there in terms of not transitioning to castrate resistant. I just started treatment 6/15/23 and am trying to hit it with additional therapies as my PSA declines. Vit c. Melatonin. Ivermectin. I am going to start baking
