Perineum Irritation / Pain
I’m Stage 4A prostate cancer (spread outside prostate to lymph nodes only) in week 3 of treatment. I’m doing Lupron shots every 3months + Abiraterone with Prednisone daily, will start radiation in a couple weeks. I was tested on day 8 and my PSA had already fallen from 8.7 to 2.78.

Treatment options
I am 47 years old diagnosed with PC last month with Gleason score 9(5,4) and was advised ADT treatment with Bicalutamide and followed by Lupron 30 mg after two weeks. PSA was 77 in Jan and dropped to 23 after starting ADT treatment and already feeling better with much less urinary symptoms. I was advised

Are bone and CT scans required quarterly if PSA and testosterone are basically zero and no symptoms?
I have stage IV prostate cancer with a spot on my lung being the only known spread of my cancer. After my chemo regimen, my CT and bone scans have been clean for a year now. And my blood work is perfect at the moment. I am on Zytiga and getting a Lupron shot quarterly. My doc still wants

Positive medical check update April 2024
Last days I’ve had couple of blood tests, ultra sound, annual PSMA Pet/CT and a meeting with my urologist. My last Lupron shot was Oct 2023. Blood values are all very ok, PSA undetectable, Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and PSMA Pet/CT and ultra sound clean, no recurrence, no metastases. I’m more than thankful

darolutamide monotherapy experience?
If you’ve had darolutamide mono therapy, I’m interested in your experience with effectiveness and side effects, especially compared to ADT like Lupron.

EMBARK Trial: Combination-therapy is better.
This chart compares the risk of developing metastasis from prostate cancer, after 5 years from curative treatment, between three different arms of the EMBARK study (published in 2023): (1) Lupron monotherapy; (2) Enzalutamide monotherapy; and (3) Enzalutamide + Lupron combination therapy.

Any adverse effect if taking three-month Lupron shot two weeks late?
Hi friends, my father has been on Lupron shots every three months with Abiraterone pills for about a year now. His next shot will be 14 weeks due to some insurance problems. What is the ideal and acceptable time range between shots that won’t risks benefits of treatment? What is the out of pocket price

Testosterone Recovery: Orgovyx vs Lupron, Part-II
Here's another plot summarizing data from a 2020 paper in the New England Journal of Medicine by Neil Shore, et al. that shows Orgovyx has much faster "ON" and "OFF" changes in testosterone levels, compared to Lupron. This plot compares the percentage of men who recover their testosterone (defined

If PSA is Suppressed by Doublet ADT, Will Salvage IMRT Cause a PSA Rise?
Hello everyone, My husband is nearing completion of his extended pelvic salvage IMRT with boost to retrocaval lymph nodes. His radiation oncologist said it may take several months before the psa calms down, so he would like to see him in July. My question is that, since he is already undetectable due

Starting Third Month of Orgovyx--Update
Blood test after two months shows PSA of 1.45, down from 16.5--over a 90% drop. So, the medication is working as advertised. I believe their own stats indicate an approx. 98% drop in 90 days. This week's visit with my new MO nurse practitioner went well. She was very happy with the PSA results and

10th year
Ten years ago I had my Gleason 9 prostate removed. PSA was .1 for a while. It crept up over .2, and I began taking lupron. The drug brought PSA back down to >.01 for a year or so. As the level started going up again, I received whole pelvis bed radiation, moving PSA to undetectable. After a year or so

Estrogen patch to improve quality of life
Could the men here who use estrogen patches at "just to feel good" levels comment on your experience? Mr. Spouse21 will be getting spot radiation to a single spinal tumor very soon. Thanks to everyone who encouraged that instead of Pluvicto at this time. His two oncologists agreed as did a radiation

Adrenal insufficiency after stopping ADT & steroids. My 72 year old husband had radical, robotic surgery 7 years ago. PSAs were 0 until 2 years ago, then barely detectable.

Should I Add Docetaxel to Lupron and Zytiga?
I have been on Lupron and Abiraterone for most of my almost 12 years of treatment. Triplet therapy was not SOC when I was first dx'd. I am just wondering why, Docetaxel isn't routinely added to those of us who started on doublet therapy before we become resistant to the doublet therapy. My guess is that

What is Your Opinion on Docetaxel Added to Doublet Therapy for Early Oligorecurrent Metaststic M1a Prostate Cancer?
Hello, I have touched on this subject before, but it is something that is nagging at me and giving me some sleepless nights. My husband’s bio is updated for reference. At one year post prostatectomy with Stage 3b, he rose from 0.06 to 0.273 in three mos. At psa of 0.16 , a PSMA scan showed three sub
