PSA slowly going down.
Uro just called with my PSA results, going down they have no explanation for this. My PSA has been going up slowly since 11/2018. PSA reached 0.23 in 7/2021, in 10/2021 PSA was 0.22. Today my PSA was 0.19. I have been on lupron since 3/2017, 3 month injections. They could not give my a reason why

Eight is enough?
Reflecting on this year, made me recall that old TV series. My own family is small. My wife and I live on a small farm where we nurture dozens of animal "children". We have one son, our most treasured gift; and, at 21, he is still finding his way in the world with a kind heart and a gentle nature that

Marajuiana-CBD Oil
This is Banana1948. My PSA is .008 after being on Lupron since October 2020. What are the benefits to me if I start taking CBD Oil please? Or is there a time after my PSA increases to start taking it? I keep my profile up to date.

Embr Wave 2 & Hotflashes
Hot flashes have been a big problem for me ever since I started Lupron. Lupron stopped working for me and I am now Apalutamide and still have hot flashes. I am on Gabapentin & Venlafaxine that seem to help somewhat with the flashes. I ordered a Embr Wave 2 and am very happy with it. Seems if I catch

Zytigia mechanism of effectivity
Hi. Sorry for what might seem a dumb question.Can someone help with a query about the mechanism of effectivity of zytigia. Is it effective (for some) because it keeps T low or is there some other action? If ADT e.g lupron etc is keeping T low and PSA stable what is the added benefit of abiraterone

Prostap v Lupron
I have just had my first 3 monthly Prostap injection following 2 x 1 monthly injections. I believe Prostap is similar to Zolodex. I notice that many of you mention Lupron. Can anyone explain the differences and am I on the best option for ADT? One further question is that I am yet to have my hormone

Erleada (Apalutamide)
Does anyone else take Apalutamide? Combined with Lupron has worked but side affects continuing for over a year has me clamoring for a break. Cancer had spread to bones but PSA <0.01. Want to try a break but DR. indicates once I stop, cannot go back on above- Any Thoughts? Richard

Excruciating Pain when Urinating - Every Time
Seasons Greetings! G9, metastatic PC. I have a question, post TURP (to provide some quality of life) post Radiation (44 days), on Lupron and Ababitaron, PSA is 0.0<5, however, I continue to have excruciating pain when urinating, like razor-wire. I have many "micro-pees" per day and the pain is there

My turn for advice
Diagnosed August 2018. Gleason 9, biopsy 12 of 12 positive. PSA was 38. Had external beam radiation and brachytherapy with 2 years lupron.

Anything that can be done here?
4 years ago, my dad (now 72) was diagnosed with (what was at the time thought to be) localized prostate cancer. He underwent radiation and a couple years of Lupron. This past summer, his PSA spiked to 2.0. A PET scan showed no signs of cancer outside the prostate, and a prostate biopsy showed no signs

Edema with Advanced stage 4
Edema. Should we worry? My husband has gained about ten pounds on his 174 lb frame in the last few days. Legs, ankles and buttocks are swollen, tight, and sometimes painful. He is trying to stay active but every time he does anything on his feet this kicks in. I have a message in to his doctor but being

Hot Flashes
I began taking 120 mg daily of Orgovyx last week and am already experiencing hot flashes. I know from my previous experience on Lupron that my hot flashes can be very uncomfortable and embarrassing. My MO prescribed Effexor to control the hot flashes, but upon learning it’s an anti-depressant, I am

Looking for some hope
So I am officially castrate resistant. 3 years and 2 months after my diagnosis. Yesterday I got my results from my PSMA PET scan at Duke and it showed about 7 new spots all in my bones. My C1 (neck) one rib and the rest in my pelvis. I’ve been on Lupron since the beginning, zytiga, then Xtandi also

CMP and PSA update
After 100 day on Lupron and 45 days on Abiraterone my PSA is 0.25 my CMP is normal except for AST which is 39 on a normal range of 15-37 ALT is 56 on a 15-61 normal range. PSA is clearly a good #, should I be worried about rise in AST and ALT as they have both doubled since starting these meds. ?

Zoladex VS Lupron
Good morning!! Has anyone switched from Zoladex to Lupron? And what side effects do you have from the Lupron? My Dr. Just called and said my insurance company is no longer covering Zoladex so they are switching me to Lupron. TIA
