ADT Holiday Coming To An End
After nearly 2 years of undetectable while on ADT holiday my 10/2 PSA result was 0.1. Today, 10/23 my PSA was .19. Seems like a rapid doubling time. Sent result to my MO. Waiting for a response.

Update
Just got my blood test results: Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and PSA still undetectable. Tomorrow I’ll receive my next 3-month Lupron shot, which will finalize my 24-month ADT after prostate bed and whole pelvic radiation. In the meantime I also had lymphoma and received four R-CHOP chemo cycles, two cycles

Long time reader / first time poster…
Hello all, Been on here for quite some time reading about other men’s stories but have yet to get in the trenches until now. Not sure why; maybe just reluctance to accept my situation, even though my “situation” has fully accepted me. It’s been a bumpy road. PSA 12.5 at diagnosis 11/2019. Been checking

Do low PSA-producing cells still rely on testosterone to grow?
Am curious to know what the folks here know about this question. If higher PSA cells are driven to near extinction by ADT, and if only low-PSA producing cells survive, are the latter still dependent on testosterone for survival? If not, what do they depend on to grow?

Advise me, please, on NDT dose/vitamins optimisation. Functional but at sea... Latest results
Last dose
NDT
9am, 24 hours before testing at 9am. I see that I’m undermedicated but would like a plan: how/by how much to raise over time. Cortisol, ferritin, B12 and antibodies are all high. What does this mean?

EMBARK Study: ADT vs Enzalutamide +/- ADT
Results of the EMBARK study was published this week (10/19/23) in NEJM. It compared high risk BCR PCa treated in 3 groups: Lupron ADT alone. Enzalutamide plus ADT. And Enzalutamide monotherapy. 5 year follow up for metastasis free survival. Results below. Interesting that Enza monotherapy (No ADT) was

Would I be on thin ice if I tried adaptive ADT this soon?
After 6 weeks on Lupron and 9 days on abiraterone, my PSA was .1, and my testosterone was <1. This is within the criteria being used to start people on adaptive in this MCSPC Moffitt study with Jingsong Yang - (he says I can just follow the protocol without being in the study)https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Reporting results from Eclipse Trial
Prior to beginning trial last June I had just gone castrate resistant and PSA was at 3.3. A few weeks after the last of four injections PSA settled in at .25 so there was still something left. However PSA now has quickly shot up to .75 And since I stopped Orgovyx and Zytiga, Testosterone is going up

Vacation from ADT
I searched but only came up with vacations at two years or so. I had a meeting with my MO today. He is conservative but suggested I could stop the meds. I was complaining of brain fog. He said to stop the Abi for about three weeks to see if there is any improvement and if not, stop Lupron. My story

ADT and bone health
I am 79 in exceptional physical condition. I have been on ADT after radical Prostatectomy for over 14 months and to date aside from the sexual libido loss I have had very little side effects. I have always been a health / exercise buff & continue to exercise everyday to maintain my mental & physical

Genomic testing
Who benefits from genetic testing and when? Is it mainly when someone becomes castrate resistant and or metastatic that they recommend it? Or is there value in doing it ahead of things while one is castrate sensitive? Had RP and then salvage radiation with 6 months ADT. 1st lab after.. T of 25 and undectable

Questions about progesterone and prostate cancer
My onco continues to resist prescribing low dose E2 to help minimize some of my ADT SEs. Following my last appointment he suggested progesterone as an alternative. - Has anybody here had success with using progesterone while on ADT? - Any reasons to steer clear of progesterone? Thanks

Not reacting well to T3
I don't want to take
NDT
for ethical reasons (vegan). I supplement with D, magnesium, iron, B12, methyl B complex, Betaine, selenium, zinc. My nutrition is great, gluten/dairy free, been on the same diet for a long time, weight is healthy.

CT and Bone Scan 2 weeks after PSMA PET?
Note:
for reference, my dad lives in BC, Canada. I believe the system here is a bit different than the US - we have a urologist who refers us to the RO when needed. Therefore, there is no relationship between the urologist and RO - the RO is part of the cancer institute, but the urologist is not
