Hello from down under
Hi all, I’ll try to keep my journey with prostate cancer brief. I was diagnosed in March 2016 with advanced and aggressive PC with a Gleason 7. I chose surgery which, post op, increased the Gleason to 9 and PSA 0.03. 2017 I had follow up radiation but the PSA remained at 0.03 suggesting metastatic activity

20 months post EBRT and PSA remains at <=0.08
My PSA remains at <=0.08 20 months out from my 39 sessions of EBRT including pelvic lymph nodes. My final (of 3 years) shot of Zoladex is due in Feb ‘22. It’s wonderful to post a same old, same old, repetitive post! Long may it continue 😁 Hugh

Zoladex VS Lupron
Good morning!! Has anyone switched from Zoladex to Lupron? And what side effects do you have from the Lupron? My Dr. Just called and said my insurance company is no longer covering Zoladex so they are switching me to Lupron. TIA

Pain with every move
Hi please help I was on the menopause injections for 2 years, I switched between zoladex and prostap, and although I bled through out the 2 years and experienced bad menopausal side effects it helped me manage my endo pains. In March of this year I reached 2 years of using these injections, and I'm

Metastatic prostate cancer chronic lower back and pelvic pain which gets much, much worse at night.
Hi everyone! I have metastatic prostate cancer which has got into my bones. I’m currently on Zoladex long term hormone therapy following a 10 month course of chemotherapy which was not that successful so we’re looking at other options. FYI I have noted quite a lot of muscle wastage as a result of long

Changing treatments?
I have been on Firmagon (Degarelix) for 6 months now & have had success with it bringing the PSA down from 18.6 to 0.7 & now the ONC wants to change to Zoladex but am worried about different side effects. Is there any worse side effects?

Diagnosed with endo
I am 48 and have been told I have large fibroids and cyst and lots of it is stuck together with endo too. Said surgery too risky because near bowel etc. Going on Zoladex, any advice?!

Chemo with docetaxel?
I recently posted about my experience with Zytiga, and the proposed switch to Erleada, which I haven't yet tried, partly due to cost and difficulties of getting it in Cyprus, where I live. One specialist has proposed starting chemo with docetaxel. My PSA recently rose to 38 from 27 and the stereotactic
