Sources of PSA During ADT Break
I asked this question several years back and TA gave me an answer, which I cannot find. So, I am asking the question again. My prostate cancer took an unusual path since brachytherapy in 2011 for Gleason 3 + 3 low volume cancer. First I had a local recurrence in 2016 and lymph node (pelvic and abdominal

Calcium Supplements Edited with more Info
Jim's Calcium level has been around 10 since Dec 2020. He had his first Lupron shot Jan 2021. Abiraterone started Mar 2021. He has been on 1000mg of Oyster Shell Calcium and when I recently reviewed her instructions from 2020 I realized she had wanted him to take 650mg calcium citrate or carbonate

68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan again. I forgot the prerequisites for qualifying.

Xtandi and sex
I'm looking to start Xtandi WITHOUT Lupron or its equivalents. My question is "does Xtandi destroy libido like Lupron?" Any user responses will be appreciated.

ADT+docetaxel first impressions, adding darolutamide
I had my first Lupron shot about 6 weeks ago. Started on chemo/docetaxel last week. My PSA went from 250 when diagnosed in early January to 1.8 before the chemo. I have a high volume bone metastasis. Can I still skip Lupron since the PSA is already within normal range? Are there other ways of administering

Here we go again….
My Joe’s PSA has doubled again over the last three months….3.6. Still very low, but the second doubling in 6 months. He’s been on lupron since his chemo series in 2017. He added Zytiga in 2019 (PSA had gone back to 11) Recommendation now to re-do taxotere series (x 10 vs past x 6 doses), then add xtandi

Decapeptyl and pain
Hi, hope you are all well - sorry for bagging in about this again, I’m on decapeptyl three monthly injections to shrink a 7cm fibroid. It will be eight weeks come tue since my injection.

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
