My #1 support person & me
I'm new to the form. I have mcrpc. I was on lupron injections for almost 1 year. I didn’t like the pain for 5 days after injection plus insurance only paid half the cost so I got an orchiectomy. I don’t regret that. Several months after the orchiectomy, my PSA level went up so my urologist said it’s

I’m new here. Does Carboplatin sound right for my next course of treatment?
Hi All, This is my first post on this forum. I have learned so much in a brief time! I currently have widespread bone metastases based on a recent PSMA PET scan. Currently on Lupron but stopped Zytiga because my PSA is rising. My PSA increased from 0.13 to 0.52 in a 3 three month span. My Oncologist

PYLARIFY diagnostic could not find prostate cancer cells, then a surprise!
Prostate removed December 2015, had Gleason 9. Diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer September 2018, immediately treated with 40 radiation sessions over 8 weeks, and started 45mg.

Time in a test tube
Gave up my G9 prostate to the robot in 2014. My PSA was 5. Level dropped to <0.1 until 2017 after it climbed to .23. ADT and prostate bed radiation brought the level down to <0.1 until a year ago. PSA jumped from .2 to .4 over a few months last summer. PSMA scan revealed two hot lump nodes last fall.

Decision time. Input welcome
Saw my MO yesterday. I need to make a decision by next week on how to proceed. My personal life is imploding and all I see there is having to sell my house and move to... someplace -- long story, but everything I've tried has come up short. BTW, I live by myself with no close friends and only a very

Zytiga progress update
Hi following on from my earlier post I’m approaching the end of my forth week and I would say it is not that much different to Lupron except I find the fatigue and minor ache are more intense (both seem to come and go). My hip pain does seemed to have eased. I was give a full blood test at three weeks

Nubeqa and LDH level was high now normal
OK,I have been on Nubeqa 10 months Continuing on Lupron monthly. My choice to do monthly. Anyway my LDH level has been high, as high as 285. But yesterday it was 213 - normal. Any ideas on what this might mean?

Prostate Treatment Study - Effects on Exercise Performance
I thought some might be interested in this study that I volunteered for run by the VA and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. I got tested at baseline before treatment, at 3 months, and at 6 months. At all sessions there is a long questionnaire about mood, sexual satisfaction, sleep habits, etc. I

Micro-Mets Next Steps
Beloved, well-read, much-experienced cancer colleagues, My PSA has gone up quite slowly since being OFF all ADT since 2015-16 clinical trial on Lupron and Apaludimide (I had heart attack and a TIA then- my oncologist has not urged me to go back on ADT since). My PSA is now just under 2.7 but was 1.4

Orgovyx
Began Orgovyx about a month ago... PSA prior to taking it was 12.89 Got my labs at Emory yesterday and MO called me to report that PSA is now 0.39 after 28 days on it. Once a day...just Orgovyx. I wasn't embracing ADT as those I knew were getting Lupron shots combined with Zytiga and Prednisone...and

Experience with Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa) to improve HGB count
As many of us find, our HGB levels drop with the use of chemo drugs. In my case, Zytiga, Xtandi, and now Lynparza all seemed to contribute to my low HGB count (while continuing Lupron throughout). My HGB has been between 9.6 and 10.7 over the last 18 months, last reading 10.1. When my HGB dipped below

Why I feel alive...still
So far after the RP, the scans, the bloodwork, the Lupron shots and the Erleada, I'm one lucky man in that the PSA is undetectable, I appear to only have mild symptoms of the usual side effects and so without any real external identification, life goes on with full time work and readying for a vacation

He is seeing his Urologist for the Lupron shots and Casodex and a Radiation Oncologist for his Radiation treatments (5x/wk for 9 wks). Just wondering your opinion

My husband recently started Lupron and Casodex for stage 3b prostate cancer. Will begin 45 radiation treatments soon. Does anyone have any experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment and ..what has been your experience with side effects to the radiation treatment? Thank you.
