T level test
Having my first PSA test since IMRT in a few weeks. (last ADT/Lupron was early February. 90 day. Salvage IMRT Radiation ended Early January. Is there a reason my doc didn't order T level test to coincide with the PSA? Seems like you would track increases or Nadirs etc, having them tested the same time

ADT Hot Flashes
I've been on ADT since Feb, 2023 maintaining everything ok, play Water Polo 4x a week for 2 hours - master water polo team and lift weights - but in the last few weeks the hot flashes are crazy strong. One minute I'm doing great and then 30 seconds later sweating bullets. I work from home thank god,

Severe cramps and ADT
I have led a very active life running long distance races and long bike rides. So I’m used to getting some moderate leg cramps after a long workout. I’ve been able to minimize them by taking electrolyte drinks. Once I started ADT (Lupron, abiraterone, prednisone), I started getting severe leg cramps

Trouble swallowing
I am having problems swallowing - not that I can't - but the food does not go down as it used to. I get hiccups, have to drink water, etc. I am trying to chew longer and that helps. I am on Lupron and Zytiga. Anyone else have the same issue? No radiation yet.

Blood work on radiation and Lupron
I am sure this has probably been discussed before but I could not find an answer. How long after initial radiation should you wait to get a valid PSA test? Background Started Lupron 6 weeks prior to radiation and Casodex one week before that to reduce the spike of testosterone. Next week will be my

Anyone have experience with Provenge? Especially on PSA tests?
For my history, I was diagnosted with Prostrate cancer in 2018. Now 70 years old. I had Surgery in late 2018 where they removed my prostrate and found cancer in 2 lymph nodes. I have had 2 salvage radiation sessions, which appeared to be successful. I have been on Lupron, essentially since surgery
