Triplet Therapy
When I first showed sign of castrate resistance I went in Daralutamide which worked for about 6 months. I then went into SPLASH trial which worked for about 8 months. I am now doing Provenge but I expect Docxatel in the near future. If I did triplet therapy ADT/DOCXATEL/ENZALUTAMIDE is it possible the

Wanting to try to boost morning cortisol I [u]added[/u] ¼ grain of

Asking for advice
Since I first diagnosed with PC (T3bNx, GS 3+4)last February, 2023, I’ve been through RP, ADT and IMRT continuously. I had Firmagon shot twice before RP and switched ADT to Eligard. Then I started 25 sessions of IMRT. All the treatments was done within 3 and half months. Now I am exhausted. I am

Radiotherapy for prostate local and retroperitoneal nodes
ADT of lupron and abiraterone has been pretty tolerable so far, almost four months - maybe I got cocky. Started my SBRT 28 fraction 70 Gy radiotherapy four days ago, mild to moderate urinary urgency and some burn started almost immediately. Diarrhea started at night after day four, mild so far. How

Medical OR chemical castration
Hi All, Ok I am 79 and still in great physical condition. PR and ADT for 2 years. To date no unusual physical side effects other than zero sex drive. It looks as thought I will be on ADT until I die. PSA increasing monthly so I will try other chemicals. I want to remain in good shape until my number

From a Gleason 9 to a clean CT scan in 18 mos.
18 mos ago, my husband was told by his dr. that he "most likely had two or three good years left." (WHY do they say stupid things like that?) I think that a lot of people believe whatever the dr. says and subconsciously program themselves accordingly. I, on the other hand, thought to myself, "We'll

How important is missing 2 months of ADT?
I'm one month into RT and ADT for 9 months. I chose monthly Eligard. The Urology office made a mistake and came in with a 3-month dose. When I told the nurse I had communicated my 1-month preference prior, she left the room. The Dr. came in, eyeballed the dosage, removed 2/3 and I received it. I was

Managing side effects of ADT
I have found that Richard Wassersug has many blog postings related to ways to manage ADT side effect on the LifeOnAdt.com website. I also found the new version of his book has a great section on dealing with relationship issues. It was very helpful in keeping my relationship with Coco on track when

Treatment - radiation vs. surgery
