Prognostication Requested
My current situation: PSMA scan found 2 hot nodes in the lower retroperitoneum/para-aortic region. This happened twice before and each time a 3-month or so Lupron shot and SBRT bought me 12-24 free months. So, once again,I was happy that no bone nor organs lit up (always a fear that my scan will light

No Bone Metastisis
I just completed the PSMA 68 scan that showed no more bone metastis. I'm being treated at UCSF. My doc said I have a choice of going off my meds of Erleada and Lupron. My concern is if I elect this option and the cancer reappears have I created a worse problem where restarting the meds may no longer

Michael T Schweizer & BAT [Bipolar Androgen Therapy
I was looking at BAT-related studies involving Dr. Schweizer. The first was as lead author for Denmeade (2015). Most BAT research has been performed on men with CRPC [Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer]. The U.S. statistics for 2022 were 268,490 new cases, with 34,500 deaths. The deaths being largely

Brittle Bones
62 y/o aPC with Mets. I’ve been on the Lupron, Abiraterone, and Prednisone treatment for about 7 months. I just broke a rib leaning on a chair. Do these drugs cause your bones to become easier to break? Luckily I get an MRI and the PSMA PET Scan tomorrow. Should be interesting to see I hope. Thoughts

My father has been on Lupron for about a year. My father, who had oligometastatic prostate cancer, underwent robotic surgery in September. Before surgery,

Two months after the surgery,
PSA was undetectable b

Substitute Eplerenone for Prednisone with Zytiga?
I am taking Eligard + Zytiga + Prednisone (5mg). I would like to stop the prednisone and substitute eplerenone (Inspra), if that is viable. I found this exchange from earlier this year from Gearhead, with comments from Tango65 and T_A, among others. Has anyone stopped prednisone altogether in

Radiation a second time? Recurrent PC
I recently had a PSMA scan done that showed my recurrence is in the prostate and three Iliac nodes ( none enlarged). I had IMRT done 17 years ago, my question is anyone familiar with doing a targeted course of radiation a second time? I will be doing Provenge after the first of the year then researching

How long will "4 month" lupron injection "last"
I received a 4 month lupron injection on 8/15/22 with salvage radiation to prostate bed and pelvic lymph nodes. (see profile for more details) My question is how long will the lupron keep my testosterone at castrate levels (<50 ng). Note my pre lupron injection testosterone level was 906 on 7/22/22

Vacation
Jim's doctors are going to talk to him about a treatment vacation. Is this from Lupron & Abiraterone, or just one of them? He's been <0.04 for over a year and ultra sensitive shows <0.02. He's very hesitant to stop something that's working. A vacation would be nice, but I'm with him. We are going

No SOC treatment. Metastatic lymph nodes by PSMA-PET. Rising PSA. Bone/CT scans neg. Waiting to die.
The title may seem over-dramatic. It does, however, present the present state of my PCa. I have written more than once about being Lupron ADT sensitive but stopped after first shot due to severe intolerable increase in depression. I am not eligible (SOC) for other therapies because they all require

Skin rash / Lupron
In the last weeks I experience skin rash with itching. It started in body areas where I sweat while exercising and now is more or less all over. I read that rash is a SE of Lupron. Who else is/was experiencing this and what are potential detours? Any ideas?

End of treatment and worried
Good morning . I have been a member since 2020 , but I read more than I write. However, I would like some feedback on my situation. First a review: I had requested a PSA test from my GP for several years. His response after a non remarkable DRE was that PSA tests were useful if he felt any abnormalities

Docetaxel/Taxotere. 2nd time in 3 years. It's a no go this time. No benefit after 3 infusions.
A cancer work around making a good treatment plan not workable. Good news is although PSA kept rising during infusions scans show no new growth but no shrinkage either. Same old diffuse bone mets I have always had. Current PSA at 80. Brief history PSA 11/2019--1,621. Bone mets diffuse from skull

Orgovyx Side Effects Query
In the past, Lupron SE seemed to start with hot flashes at about 4-6 weeks. I know Orgovyx drives the T down MUCH faster. Can I assume that the SE will also arise much faster? (Just started on it) Mel
