When to add Lynparza?
I completed six rounds of chemo (docetaxel + carboplatin) end of February. Bottom line from PSMA Pet scan in late March: some tumors reduced in size/intensity, others stayed the same, no new PCa evident. PSA remains undetectable. I’m on Lupron and Nubeqa. Genetic testing shows my cancer has the ATM mutation

SBRT Treatment Follow Up
After my prostate surgery, and being assured all the cancer was removed, my PSA tripled, in 6 months, from .8 to 2.50. Pet scan showed four tumors in my bones. One at the top of my shoulder, one on my rib, one on the spine in the middle of my back, and one near the tail bone. So I had 4 SBRT treatments

PSA up today
Hi, I’ve been in the triple therapy since March 2022 and things are going well. Had a blood test today and everything looks good except PSA went from 0.01 to 0.03, bilirubin at 20 and ALT at 5.0. I go for my next lupron should next Tuesday. Is there anything I should be concerned about and what questions

Side effects
I do 5 mg of prednisone 1000 mg of abiraterone and Lupron every 4 months. Prednisone has been very tough on me, I've gained 29 pounds weight in two months, the muscle cramps and feet twitching are unbearable. My PSA has come down from 24 in January to 0.84 last Monday. I saw my oncologist on Tuesday

TURP Prior to Radiation: Opinions?
63yo, Gleason 4+4, PSA 0.055, 2 measurable mets in pelvic lymph nodes-right iliac chain I finished a round of 6 chemo treatments in mid-February. I'm currently on Lupron and Nubeqa. My last PSA was 0.055. I decided to take a break before I start radiation in August or September to do some travel and

Just wondering i do 5 mg of prednisone 1000 mg of abiraterone and Lupron every 3months plus bone so I've been on this now 10 months PSA is less than 0.001, so at what point do you take a break looking into the future how do you know when to take that break and what if the cancer comes back do you start

Eligard failure?
Bear with me as I list the details behind my questions. I am currently receiving radiation treatment at UCLA under Dr Kishan on the Viewray (20 treatments vs 5 due to Prostox DNA test showing high risk to long term SE's from higher dose of radiation) and only have 2 treatments to go.

New To The Thread
63yo, 4+4=8 Gleason, PSA 0.05 (56 before treatment). I’m doing the triplet treatments with Lupron, Nubeqa, and taxotere (for chemo). My med oncologist has called it the STAMPEDE trial, although I’m not actually in a trial. I was diagnosed last August and recently finished chemo. I’m still on ADT.

No Longer Undetectable
Hello Everyone, I just posted this on APC, but want to post it on FPC also as I know some of you are not on APC any longer and I am looking for advice. My husband had his prostate removed in April 2021. The cancer had spread out of the capsule and one lymph node was positive. His cancer is both acinar

Zoladex, lupron, oophprectomy or…?
I tired Zoladex this last summer. It was torturous. My Onc said it would be a monthly shot. I got it. When I got home and looked at the chart notes from the nurse who administered it, it turns out they gave me the 3 month shot. overnight it was like all the anxiety I’d ever experienced in my life was

Low PSA producing PCa. MO discontinued Abi +Pred. Is this right?
My partner is Gleason 9, grade 5, BRCA 1. Highest PSA at diagnosis and prostatectomy was 2.67. Started on Lupron right away. Abi and pred started when PSA went to .26 a year after surgery. We’re in Florida for a few months and went to Moffit for a second opinion. Doctor took him off abi and pred right

Lupron and Abiraterone post treatment expectations?
Ive had RP; PSA didn’t go to zero; started Lupron and Abi + Prednisone and then 33 radiation treatments of whole pelvic region. PSA has been undetected for 7 mos now. Hope to stop all treatments after 6/24 Has anyone walked similar path? Did PSA stay at zero? Did libido return? Did body hair return

Expectations after six cycles of Taxotere
My husband was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer nearly three years ago, receiving a regimen of ADT, which included abiraterone, Lupron and prednisone. When that no longer worked, he started first-line chemotherapy. He just completed his sixth cycle. His PSA dropped until the sixth infusion

Orchiectomy?
The question mark tells the story. I am in this for life so I am tossing around the idea of an orchiectomy. I am now on Lupron and aberaterone+prednisone. I understand I would not take the Lupron anymore but how about he Abi as it works differently as in adreanals.

ADT Recommendations
I'm probably looking at starting salvage radiation soon with 4-6 months of ADT. The doc suggests starting with Casodex and then two sequential Lupron shots. Is there a better way to do ADT for that period? I'd like to get my testosterone back quickly at the end of the treatment period if possible.

Severe headaches and extremely high blood pressure
Seven months in on Lupron and Zytiga with typical SE and suddenly in the middle of the night, my head starts splitting with pain and blood pressure shoots to 222/122. I have never had high blood pressure so this a new event for me. I called my MO and his nurse said (after speaking with the Doc) to

Does a big drop in PSA a month after the start of hormone treatment possibly represent a higher chance of cure?
Hi all, I have been researching and I have been wondering if big drops in PSA right after hormone treatment should give you more hope at a cure or if this does not change the situation at all? Father PSA of 226 dropped to 3 one month after Firmagon shot, and then 0.3 a month after that, and then 0.13

PSA doubled again within three months.
My psa has doubled yet again within three months and lung mets are growing in size, while they have only grown a few millimeters they are still growing. I have had all of the first course of treatment after the prostate was removed and have been on Lupron since 2018, Oncologist has now added Xtandi to
