PSA no longer undetectable. Now what?
I had a prostatectomy in 2017, radiation, and nearly 3 years of Lupron, with the last injection on 5/10/20. Other details are in my profile. PSA was undetectable for 2.5 years. Yesterday's draw shows that it's 0.032. I gather that I should wait for 3 consecutive monthly rises before moving to more

Lupron Shot Scheduling Question
Hello All, I greatly respect and appreciate everyone who posts on this forum. I have a mundane question I would appreciate thoughts on. My next 6 month Lupron shot would be due May 19. I am tied up that day. Is there a limit on how far in advance of the exact 6 month date you can get your shot paid

PSA up after one month on Xtandi
My husband has been taking Zytiga, Lupron, Xgeva and prednisone for two years. The combination worked well with only a few side effects (fatigue and hot flashes), and his PSA became undectable within a few months. When his PSA started going up, his doctor stopped the Zytiga and prednisone and added

How is PSMA PET scan being used in your experience?
PSMA PET scans are not yet available in my area. My MO and I have been in discussions on the use of PSMA versus the FDG PET I currently get. Have extensive metastatic disease in my left pleura, nodes in my mediastinum and along the aorta. To date no skeletal lesions but one area of suspicion. My MO

Zytiga vs Xtandi
November of 2020 PSA was noted at 4.5. 6 months later it was 32 then quickly up to 46. Biopsy graded out at GL9. PSMA found metastasis on the sacrum and multiple lymph nodes in pelvic and abdominal area. Started Lupron in October and radiation therapy in January 2022. One oncologist likes Zytiga over

Orgovyx vs Lupron
Can anyone point me to studies comparing the two for cardiac effects ? After 3 years on Lupron/Zytiga with undetectable PSA and otherwise doing well, I've developed atrial fibrillation. My MO is not giving me much guidance on the subject so a switch is strictly up to the patient.

Stopping Zoladex or Lupron
At what point, if ever, would it be advisable to stop injections of Zoladex or Lupron when they cease to be effective in suppressing PC? I am still on Zoladex shots every 12 weeks, despite its failure to work anywhere near as well as it did initially. Given the known downsides to the shots, I wonder

Thank You Fam, I'm Home! :)
I received all of your "prayers, love and Bday Salutations" you guys bless my soul! The emergency was crowned; but my doctors are wonderful and because my syptoms and MS 15 was it. I went back for assessment really quickly. Being tired, I'm used too - but feeling like "Ivory Soap"was left on my face

Supplement for libido enhancement
I have been off of Lupron for about 1 year. I find my libido is still weak and was hoping someone could offer some advice on a supplement that may help me in this area of enhancing my libido. I’ve tried Maca Root.. doesn’t seem to help.. Would appreciate some advice in this area.
