Into the Great Unknown
Well, I just wrapped up two years of ADT (Lupron and Xtandi) on top of 36 rounds of radiation, and a RARP. At 57 when diagnosed (PSA 5.2, Gleason 4+3, one affected pelvic lymph node per PSMA PET scan), our plan was to throw the kitchen sink at my PCa and see if we can’t knock it out. Here I am at 59

Hello - So my third post ADT initiation (Lupron+Abi) PSA test is coming up and since it was <.1 six weeks ago, I asked how the criteria of “has stopped working” works -to my Hopkins MO and I got this - “We want to declare a therapy no longer effective when PSA is clearly going up. We look for 0.3

Low Testosterone and value of continuing Hormone Therapy
83 year old male with a question: My understanding is that the role of hormone therapy is to lower one’s testosterone level. Does hormone therapy provide additional benefits in fighting prostate cancer beyond lowering testosterone levels? I was diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer (Gleason 10

hot flushes
I’ve struggled with these for about twenty years and they have diminished over time. However, since going on preds, just over five weeks ago, they have got worse. Nothing like when they were at their worst when I was younger, but boy do they wake me up, when my sleep is pretty poor anyway, since the

ADT and crying
Does anyone else that has been on ADT drugs for years have trouble with tears or crying for no real reason? I tear up anymore at just the thought of something sad. It’s a major pain in the ass, not to mention embarrassing because I am still employed. Wondering if there is a solution other than stopping

Still confused about PSA and Testosterone testing
I have been reading posts here for some time and there seems to be a split between those who only get PSA tests each time they go to their doctors and those that get both tests each time. I had a baseline testosterone test before Lupron and before radiation. I am now doing my 6 month follow up and

Red Light Therapy - Only Useful for a year?
I'm considering purchasing Symbyx's Red Light Helmet, and I would greatly appreciate comments by those who've used the device, since it ain't cheap. I'd also like to hear from people who've tried other red light devices. Finally, I read a comment by some neurologist saying that the red light helmets

Anyone tried hyperbaric Oxygen therapy?
My bestie who is battling ovarian cancer is using this as part of her overcoming cancer plan and reckons it really helps. It gives her a boost of energy and seemes to have helped get her through the chemo stages with hardly any fatigue or sickness. It seems to be endorsed at least unofficially by many
