Triplet Regimen vs Clinical Trial (Pluvicto)
I was recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer with diffuse bone metastases (March 20th). I met with my oncologist at Sloan Kettering on March 23rd and received my first hormone treatment (Degarelix). My PSA has already dropped from 189 to 23.89, and I had my second hormone treatment, which was

Thoughts on switching from firmagon to lupron
I have been on firmagon and zytiga since December 2021. I seem to be tolerating both well (normal effects of fatigue, loss of strength, some foggiest). Liver and kidney numbers are goo and PSA is undetectable. Recently, after each firmagon shot, I get body aches and feel bad for about a day-but even

Initial PSA drop after 3 months on Lupron
I stared Lupron 1/17/23 and IMRT on 3/21/23 Got my first PSA test today and was 0.14 (was 18 before the injection). This is 3 months after the Lupron shot. It seems OK to me based on what I have read - would like to see it below 0.1 after 4 or 5 months - correct? Anyone with similar experience

What follows Lupron and Zytiga?
Hi- I am 10+ years on Lupron and Zytiga (aberaterone), which included 3 vacations during first 5 years. Left hip was radiated (a 2nd time) last June when PSA started to rise (to low numbers) after scan showed my largest tumor, located in my left acetabulum, was “active”. PSA returned to <.05 once again

bombing a flare
When excruciating sciatica sent me to the emergency room several years ago, I was administered 20mg of dexamethasone (Decadron) to cut the rampant inflammation, which provided relief within an hour. That was followed by a Medrol pack for the next week and, with exercise, I got over the sciatica. Of course

Insomnia
Curious, what is the biggest culprit causing chronic insomnia in my diet Lupron, Zytiga, or Prednisone No matter what time I go to sleep 9,10, or 11. I wake at 3 o'clock every morning. Might be able to grab another hour sometimes. Tried Magnesium L-Threonate, Melatonin, Chamomile tea. Dr gave Trazodone

UPDATE
Had my 3 month lupron injection yesterday and PSA checked. I have been on xtandi since last June, PSA yesterday was 0.08. Three months ago it was 0.16. The PA told me most men on xtandi’s run last between 2 and 3 years. I hope she is wrong in my case. Any one have any thoughts about this. ET

Nighttime incontinence
I had radical prostatectomy about 16 months ago. Radiation followed about 6 months after that. I am on Lupron and abiraterone now for about 9 months. Among other side effects, I have occasional bed wetting. I dont have daytime issues and never experienced any of that even immediately after surgery

Pluvicto Update
So I just completed my second treatment of Pluvicto on March 27th. I'm also taking Xtandi and of course the beloved Lupron. I think it has been better tolerated than Docetaxel but the fatigue may be worse. Not sure if Pluvicto is to blame or the Xtandi. I am very weak and tire easily. I did walk a mile

Adding TurkeyTail (or other Mushrooms) to my current treatment
I'm a 70 year old, healthy person who has faced no major health issues (or addressed them quickly.) I'm retired and live alone. After pushing for PSA test, I had 6 in 6/22 and 20 in 8/22. Biopsy in 9/22 showed Gleason 4+5=9 and classified as stage 4. Bone scan and Cat showed small metastices in spine
