Question treatment
I have mpc stage 4 and am on Lupron and Xtandi. My OC wants to start me on prolia. Should I have a bone density test first? If bone density is good, should I start prolia anyway.

Knee Surgery and Xtandi
Hello everyone, I am scheduled for Knee surgery soon because of an injury pre cancer. The surgeon and the anesthesiologist asked the question about taking Xtandi during surgery etc. My MO said to take it until the day before and then stop for like 2 weeks. Xtandi has driven my PSA to Undetectable

Hormonal therapy and Meningioma brain tomors
Back in 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 4A (regionally metastatic) Ductal Prostate Cancer. In addition to surgery and radiation I was on Lupron and Zytiga with prednisone for a couple of years, ending in late 2018. Luckily for me it looks like I was able to make it to remission. Unfortunately in 2019

fifteen years ago today robotic surgery. Two years now on lupron PSA still undetectable. I feel very blessed to be feeling well. I do get some of the side effects but life is what it is so just deal with it the best you can. That’s how I feel. I don’t post much but I know there are some very smart people

Re: Taxotere chemo after post surgery IMRT
Has anyone received Taxotere chemotherapy after post surgery radiation? My son age 50 was diagnosed last summer with PC tertiary 5 pattern. First post surgery PSA was 20. PSMA pet showed some invasion to pelvic lymph nodes no where else. Put on Lupron , generic Zytiga and prednisone and given 6 weeks

Lupron and Xandi
With the hormone suppression you need to lift weights to offset the muscle loss. I have not had any brain fog, but I do tire easily and have lots of hot flashes.

Dreams, dreams, dreams
I have been receiving Lupron shots every three months and taking Xtandi daily for a little more than a year. This follows a RALP and 36 days of radiation, all parts of my doctors’ kitchen sink strategy. No doubt there is a lot going on in my body. One of the most persistent side effects, however,

My 5 Year Blood Test Results
Thanks to Professor Richard J. Wassersug PhD, I started applying estradiol gel (tE2) to lower my testosterone levels in an effort to suppress the proliferation of my PCa recurrence. It has been a miracle hormone for me with ONLY tiny boobs as a side effect, and I haven't seen a doctor in about 6 years

How critical is the 6 months for a Lupron Depot infusion?
I am scheduled for a 6 month Lupron infusion on Monday and my wife just tested positive for Covid-19. I presume I’ll be unwelcome at the Hospital. How critical is the timing?

idea?
husband has always reacted poorly/had weird side effects from drugs, to the point I read any new prescriptions. VA did genetic testing for reactions to 20 common drugs and I carry that with me to ask appointments. The loss of testosterone has definitely weakened him and the lupron brain fog is very real

Any suggestions for supplements to augment Docetaxel/ADT?
Halfway through chemo with Docetaxel. PSA at 0.02 for last two measurements. Anyone aware of any supplements that may help? I am also on Lupron and darolutamide. Treating Pulmonary mets.

Been on Lupron and Zytiga for past 24 months with an undetectable psa and clean scans. Most recent was pylarify PET scan

Treatment Update
Since July 2022 I have been on Lupron after a 9 month break. During the entire time my testosterone remained < 20. My PSA remained nearly constant at 0.30. 10/17/22 0.286 1/20/23 0.321 4/24/23 0.294 If PSA has gone even by small amount, my MO would have ordered PSMA CT
