Why did they let me off the ADT hook so easily?
Well after a year on ADT as part of a clinical trial at a major center of excellence, I met online with the RO today for a follow up (I had 37 treatments of IMRT in February). Previous to that I had RP in June 19, pathology showed Gleason 4+3, ECE, seminal vesicle invasion and 1 of 12 lymph nodes positive

different ADT medications
Is there any known difference between the various ADT injection meds in terms of efficacy and side effects? My dad's new oncologist is switching him from Lupron to Trelstar, not sure why. Just haven't seen that name come up too often on this site. Thanks

Bicalutamide or not?
Hello all! Quick summary: Diagnosed Nov. 2018, PSA 1036 (yes that's one THOUSAND thirty six!). Apparently only moved to lymph nodes(first thought bone mets-now looks like only voids in scan).

If PSA is undetectable for over 2 years?
Do we still subscribe to ADT for life? My PSA at diagnosis was 1000+, with extensive metastasis in the usual bones, the latest scans shows scars, no active tumors and PSA <0.02. So, why continue quarterly Lupron shots and daily Abiraterone Acetate (Zytiga) with Prednisone? Why my Dana-Farber Oncologist

Decision Time is Coming
I was diagnosed in August 2018 - PSA had risen from 5 to 16 in 6 months.- the imaging showed some lymph node involvement (the radiologist said one node - but my oncologist thinks 3 to 5) but no bone mets - I started Lupron in November 2018, IMRT in December 2018 to early Feb 2019 and added Zytiga in

Want to learn about lupron and casodex
I have been doing watchful waiting for 15 years. My Urologist did a TURP operation and the pathology said gleason 3/5. My Doc wants me to do Casodex to start. I have read that any kind of T deprivation can cause weight gain, man boobs, lethargy and heart problems. I have always been a skinny hyper active

Methylprednisolone acetate with Lupron
Hubby has had four successful shots of Lupron ( 1 every 6 months) for prostate cancer, which has lowered both his PSA levels and testosterone to medical castration levels(13). His last ct scan (which he gets every 6 months) showed that the tumors had shrunk to undetectable size and his bone scan showed

Lupron to Eligard switch
Due to shortage of Lupron, my MO switched from 3 month Lupron to 3 month Eligard. It was given on 9-8-20 in the fatty part of the arm and I developed a lump shortly after the size of a kidney bean under the skin at the application point. It hasn't gone away even with nurse's recommendation that I should

Lupron shot into bladder?
I had a Lupron shot two days ago and I noticed right after the shot I urinated a small amount of blood. This was the first time I had a Lupron shot in my "tummy". Previously it was in my buttocks. But for about 12-24 hours my urine was showing an orange color, different from usual, as if there was

My father has extreme pain in his legs
Hi all. Just enquiring about leg pain, my father is stage 4 with bone mets and having extreme pain in his legs (mostly at evening/night). He does go to work during the day and is on his feet walking. He is currently taking zytiga/prednisone and Lupron shots. I feel like this extreme leg pain started

When to start cialis
I'm one month into a 4-month Lupron shot. I'm waiting for an appt for HDR brachy with Dr. Hsu, then 5 weeks radiation in Reno. I'm still able to perform at weekly date night, with Viagra. My question is, how do I know when to start nightly low dose Cialis to prevent shrinkage?

Why has my PSA declined dramatically since Xtandi failed?
Diagnosed in 2006 with prostate cancer which had spread beyond my prostate. Recently, it became apparent the Xtandi I’d been taking for 2 years failed. (Seizures landed me in the hospital for 2 nights). (Before starting Xtandi, I had 3 years on Zytiga). I’ve had 2 PSA tests since quitting Xtandi. Results
