ADT and Tendon Pain
Now in my 3rd year of ADT (Eligard), which has also included 2 years of Abi + Prednisone. I had issues with my tendons for years before my PC, but the problem has worsened steadily with the PC drugs. I now have tendonitis in both feet, both achilles, a hip, wrist, elbow and shoulder. We're encouraged

Geranylgeraniol (GG), Tocotrienols, Ubiquinol (CoQ10), & statins and their relationship w/ lipids, heart health and APC patient treatments.
It's always difficult to present complex topics on this website, which involve anything more than one drug, treatment, or supplement and there relationship/affect on APC outcomes. It's obvious that it's easier to show a double-blind study of only one treatment/drug etc. and not mix several treatments

Low blood pressure from ADT? After almost 2 years on Orgovyx my blood pressure continues to drop.
I’ve seen reports here where most men on ADT have rises in blood pressure. Mine continues to drop dramatically while exercising and sometimes just walking around the house. But normal blood pressure is 112/80 with a resting rate of 52 and O2 levels at 95 to 97.

After Zofigo, what next?
Posting an update. My husband just finished 6 sessions of Zofigo (Ra223), which his doctor (MO) recommended after he failed Lupron in 12/21, and then Xtandi in 11/22. He weathered it great, with only mild digestive issues and he continues to be asymptomatic. He meets with his oncologist in two weeks

pain while swallowing
Has anyone experienced pain with swallowing? My dad mentioned that he’s been having some pain in his throat that radiates down his chest when he swallows. The pain is palpable in his neck to where he grunts in pain if he presses there. He’s currently on Erleada + ADT but we are still waiting to switch

TA Stampede Trial Q
Hey Tall guy When "3 years of ADT and 2 years of abiraterone is standard-of-care" How is that timed? Start ADT and Abi together, and stop Abi at 2 years leaving ADT by itself for the last year? How would that work in my case? I started ADT and Abi at the same time, then RT after 6 months. My

Irrational emotional mood swings on ADT
I have recently had some irrational emotional mood swings . I had a similar experience about 6 months ago, they went away within the week. I did not equate it then with my total lack of Testosterone but after seeing some discussions on this board I realized that it was my female side in full bloom. Thankfully

Weird ADT Side Effects
I have some of the predicted SE’s of ADT: loss of libido & loss of body hair. My testicles are more like two little peas in a pod now. ED meds are helping in that department. Hair loss has all been below the neck. My sister used to tell me I could win the “harriest legs contest”! Not anymore!

Simultaneous vs Sequential Rad and ADT
I'm trying to find out whether or not simultaneous rad and ADT is efficacious. Most people seem to feel that there is a synergistic effect to having rad and ADT at the same time, but I can't seem to find the mechanism for how that synergy occurs. I have a hunch that it doesn't really exist, or if

Trialling Levo only after an issue with NDT, severe headache subsided to a point, BUT now feeling brain fog, fatigue and very bloated belly.
After several weeks feeling pretty deathly and in a lot of pain, I came off the
NDT
, and started to trial T3, but the headache came back if I had more than 6mg at a time.

And so it goes.
I didn't want to write this maybe because I won't have to admit it until I wrote it down - but I owe it to you guys. So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my PSA was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my PSA started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed

HELP! Firmagon reaction?
Hi - yesterday I had my 3rd monthly (80mg) injection of Firmagon. For all my previous injections, including the 2 initial loading doses, I did not have any major side effects, just some minimal soreness at the injection site which resolved in less than 2 days. Yesterday's injection was a little bit
