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

The Dreaded Lupron Funk
Happy Monday my friends. Just curious if anyone else gets what my wife refers to as the lupron funk? Seems like I go into this funk anywhere between 17 to 14 days prior to my every 3 month lupron injection. I seem to be the happiest dude in the world right up until this funk hits. It quickly dissipates

How long does a depo-medrone injection last
I had a steroid injection just over 8 weeks ago and feeling fantastic still! I usually only have relief for about 4 weeks, if anything, so does that mean my biologic might actually be working? I’ve been on Benepali since last December (alongside Sulfasalazine) and not seen any real improvement.

Low T and bone growth
I’ve been on bicalutamide mono therapy Lupron vacation for 10 months. PSA remains <0.01 but T isn’t rising above 120. Presumably the PC in my SV remains senescent. My concern is if I get a dental implants and/or a knee replacement will my bones heal with the low T level? Thoughts? Experiences? Thanks

Please weigh in on Treatment Plan
Hi All - I'm posting with the hope that some of you might have advice/experience about my husband's current status. Brief history: RP 2014 (pre-surgery PSA 11 Gleason 4 + 3). Following surgery radiation + Lupron. When PSA started climbing again, he was in Dr. Aggarwal's Androgen Annihilation trial

Sudden PSA increase
Hoping for some insights around what might be going on here. Thanks in advance for taking a moment with your thoughts. I started ADT vacation after a 1-month lupron in February after 7 months of on-cycle. Since then my PSA has done this: Feb 2022 = 0.17 March 2022 = 0.06 April 2022 = 0.04 May 2022 =

Endometriosis/Adenomyosis and failed cycle

Preparation Thoughts if PSA Rises
11 years since prostatectomy, after 2 BCR's I had salvage radiation to prostate bed and whole pelvic radiation. The pelvic radiation was followed by 2 years of Lupron. I am currently in my 15th month of Lupron vacation and PSA is undetectable. I have a blood test next week and anxious as usual. Question
