Have Any of You Been Prescribed Casodex to Increase PSMA Expression Prior to LU-177.
Charlie is still hormone sensitive. I thought I had read that some clinics prescribe an ADT drug to cause PSMA expression to increase to enhance the treatment. My husband is getting his first treatment this Monday at Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Delhi, India. For those of you having a difficult

My PSA son ADT vacation went up from 0.135 on may 28 to 0.453 on August 28, while my T rose from 114 to 147 during the same period. Due to nationwide Lupron

Post 682 Take responsibility for yourself 1 Sep 2020
G’Day family. I hope everybody is well today. I was going to go to the gym, but changed my mind. It is to hot outside and with all this China virus garbage (my opinion) I just stayed home. “YOU” can translate that to being lazy and I am fine with that. Sometimes a lack of motivation to do

BCR - what might be next ...
It was bound to happen – came as no surprise (although you could hope for a different outcome). My PSA has jumped dramatically, in the last 6 months. Previous reading was 1.7 – jumped to 3.2 a week ago - no reason to believe that the rising numbers are going to stop 'naturally'. I was on an ADT holiday

Will Lupron and Casodex affect a PSMA PET Scan?
In 2017, with a PSA of 9 and Gleason of 3+4 on left of prostate, I had HIFU on left side. After 6 months my PSA of 2 became almost 4. In june, with a PSA of 7 I had a biopsy. Out of 12 cores, 8 were 3+4, 1 was 4+3, and one was 4+4, that one was on the right side. I had a CT of abdomen and pelvis last

Rising psa
Saw article on eggs affecting psa, cut back to 3 instead of 7 a week but it increased. It was 3.8, 4.1, 4.6 now 6.6, I think it is time for a second line of defense like casodex, the high price not an option plus like to start then when that fails go to the others that could go down in price by then.

ADT and Docetaxel worked for treating the Prostrate and Pelvic Mets, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad
Recap: I'm a 61 baby who was DX in Dec 2019 with Stage IV APCa, GS9, PSA 50, with 3 mets found on my pelvis and a metastasis in my bladder which is preventing flow from the left kidney as the mass it's constricting the urerter. So, my PSA is now 0. 05 (Hurray!! 👏👏) Casodex and Eligard (my ADT) combined
