ADT & the gut microbiome.
New study from Japan below [1]. Not good, & presumably worse for the more efficient Abiraterone than Lupron, say. First, some terms: (a) "The α- and ß-diversity of gut microbiota" alpha diversity pertains to richness/variety beta diversity is based on a before-after comparison (b) "microbiota" versus

Facing my dad's dying days
Hi all, I feel like my mind has been spun around and now is facing in a totally new direction. This past week, my 98-year old dad completed his radiation treatment. Things felt very hopeful. His pain level has been way down ever since he was diagnosed with the cancer just over a month ago. The drugs

Cyclic high dose testosterone + Nubeqa
I've been on Nubeqa as a sole agent for last 30 months and PSA has raised to 4.0 after staying under 2.0 for the first 2 years. I've lost a lot of strength and muscle mass from the Nubeqa and after reading about cyclic testosterone treatment I discussed it with my MO. His attitude was "ok, let's try

Psa going up and oncology acutherapy
I had my three month lupron injection on the 8th, Friday . My URO call me that afternoon and told me my psa went from 0.19 to 0.46. I asked him if he wanted to recheck in about a month, he told me no. My next appointment with his is July 13th. After I got over the sock Saturday morning I emailed

Gerson therapy: juicing
Hi all, New here. Primary caregiver for my 98 year old dad who has stage-4 prostate cancer diagnosed 3/9/22. He started lupron, and completed radiation treatment this past week. I am caring for him in his home, and started hospice care several days ago. I liked our hospice intake nurse that assessed

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. Lupron every six months. After two years, Lupron was replaced with 22.5mg. Eligard (quarterly), and 60mg. Prolia every

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
