Why would a metastasis “disappear”
I’m wondering why one of my rather small mets, near right seminal vesicle (RSV), could be detected in three consecutive PSMA scans over the course of almost four years, but then would seem to have gone away six months

what options after Zytiga
After almost 10 years after prostate removal, followed by radiation, Lupron, Casodex, Lupron again, radiation again, Lupron + Zytiga... I am with 3 mets at the ribs, spine and iliac... and the the Zytiga is not being effective as my psa keeps climbing and the mets growing in size.

Hormone sensitive after stopping Lupron?
If I stop ADT after 30 mo and my Testosterone stays at castrate level for 6mo, is this effectively the same as if I had 36 months of ADT?

Behind door number 0.1?
Been on 6-month Lupron injections since last fall after PSA climbed to .6 after a three year period of <0.1. I had whole pelvis radiation in December and January. Last April, ultra sensitive PSA at Duke was .17. MO said wait for next PSA test until this coming October-- testing before then would create

Comments on Effexor for hot flashes
Here is my story. Surgery in 11/2020. Gleason 8 with one lymph node met. Doctors recommended radiation and I had 38 treatments in the fall. MO also put me on Lupron and then added abitaterone/ prednisone. 2 yr. course. Lots of side effects and hot flashes have gotten worse and longer recently.

Casodex and PSA
One year into my ADT break, CT scan has shown disease progression in my lymph node metastasis. I was scheduled to have Lupron shot on July 6. Unfortunately, my wife tested positive for Covid 19 soon after our return from London. On the plane nobody, except us, was wearing mask. I am still negative.

Hot weather and Diarrhea TAPERING dilemna
In the three days of high heat temperatures in London last month I became ill with continual diarrhea. I wasn't eating much, I did take electrolytes, but it didn't dawn on me that my doses of preds (at the tail end of a taper from 8.5 to 8) were probably being washed away with digestive contents. So

Got my genomic analysis - sounds like there are possibilities?
I'm attaching the relevant part of my tumor testing from the biopsy samples. I'm high volume metastatic cancer, currently on Lupron, had to stop abiraterone due to liver numbers off, & had 1st Docetaxel chemo a week ago. Sounds like Keytruda could be beneficial as immunotherapy. Possibly concurrent

ADT Vacation - Final Update
I had the appointment with my RO to go over my PSMA scan to determine if additional RT is warranted. To review, I’ve been on an ADT vacation for almost a year. Prior to that I had 20 rounds of RT and was on ADT for about 18 months after the RT before the vacation started. This is my second vacation.

SRT IGRT/IMRT urinary urgency beginning after 3rd treatment

Soy Isoflavones-Updated 071522
Hi Guys, I wanted to share my experience with taking soy isoflavones. I read here about some studies that showed a possible benefit in taking soy. So I ordered some from Life Extension supplement company. I thought why not give it a shot. So I start taking them on 03/19. The recommended dose is

Good scan result!
Thank you everyone for your support! My Onc phoned for nearly an hour! Such good care! . he discussed my symptoms snd reviewed the PET and charted a course- which includes adding Lupron due to Higher than expected FSH ( follicle stimulating hormone levels which has to do with menopause status) but

PMR or Osteo Arthritis?
I wanted to update you on my recent additional health issues and ask if anyone has had experience of depo medrone injections. When I last posted I was having aches and stiffness in my shoulders,hands hips, knees and ankles. It is particularly bad after sleeping or sitting for a period of time. After

First Lupron on Monday. Am I going to a funeral or a wedding!?
While I wait out these last few days before my first Lupron injection, I'm having a lot of emotions; many at the same time. Not unlike my memories of getting married; or of burying a loved one. But however I feel, Monday will happen and then Tuesday starts a new perspective on my life and love. I'm

ADT options for BCR oligometastesis
Recent Auxmin and PSMA scans show that my husband has BCR oligometastesis (MRI shows nothing). It seems there are two different treatment options/opinions: 1. Lupron OR Eligard OR Firmagon OR Orgovyx for a few months and then radiation, then continue hormone therapy for 1-1.5 years 2. Lupron OR Eligard

Acute, major depression after 3-month Lupron injection, from a new poster
I haven't posted my prostate cancer bio here yet but I intend to in the future. I had a prostatectomy along with my seminal vesicles and the left side lymph nodes proximal to the prostate. Gleason 4+3 N0. The cancer had escaped the prostate which could only partial be removed since it was microscopic

Dangers of treatment for mild symptoms
Hello all. My PET scan showed evidence of PMR and my rheumatologist wants me to go onto steroids although I have very little pain or stiffness at present. This is to guard against GCA. If I understood her correctly the options include local injections and Depo Medrone. The rheumatologist also mentioned
