Do I need an Oncologist?
Originally had PSA test that came back 28+ and was referred to Urologist. I was not interested in Surgery so the Urologist referred me to a Radiation Oncologist. After the radiation treatments were over I went back to the Urologist to continue the Lupron treatments. My last visit with the Radiation Team

Next step..
Gleason 9, s/practice RP. PSA UP to 0.2 8 months later. PSMA showed 4 hot spots all in pelvis. Started on zytiga and lupron same time as radiation started. PSA has remained < 0.04 for 17 months now. Considering the aggressive nature of my cancer, should I insist on a scan even when PSA <0.04 or

Update Castrate Resistant Metastatic Cancer
My metastatic prostate cancer was diagnosed castrate resistant on November 1 with PSA of 0.8, which was doubling in about two months while on Lupron. On November 10 I started Abiraterone + prednisone. By December 1 my PSA dropped to 0.44 in 22 days on Abiraterone. In the next 35 days it went down to

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
Hello, I wanted to provide an update on my husband's progression and, hopefully, some of you may have some knowledge to share or have a similar profile. His psa has risen from <0.04 since RP for Stage 3b to 0.06 in 9/23. A recheck a week later showed a rise to 0.1. This was followed by a drop to <.04

PSA suppression
My PSA lows tend to be around 3.3, and it occurs to me that some might think it odd that I don't drive it lower. I think it is very common for men on ADT to draw too much comfort from a significant PSA reduction, if not a near-zero PSA. I have witnessed men misinterpret a dramatic drop in PSA as

Update On Eclipse Trial-another failure. Has LU-177 worked for anyone?
In 2010 at the age of 59, I had Da Vinci surgery with a Gleason 4+5=9 and PSA of 9. Post surgical biopsy showed all margins clear with no seminal vesicle involvement and Gleason post-op score was changed to a 4+3=7. Subsequent PSA was non-detectable as tested every three months for the first two years

Long term ADT bone loss mitigation tips?
My post RP BCR was diagnosed 8 months ago when they said, "you will be on ADT the rest of your life". I am on Lupron and abiraterone 4 months now. I am taking 1000mg of calcium per day and 2000IU of D3 per day. If I am lucky enough to last years, what else can I do to prevent the loss of bone? Thanks

ADT SE’s
I had a 6 month Lupron shot in April last year. I experienced all the typical SE the worst being the hot flashes at night. I am following the Ssport protocol for a biological reoccurrence. Basically a 6 month adt with 39 radiation treatments last year. Current labs show undetectable PSA with a slow

Side Effects or Symptoms?
When I started Lupron in November 2018 hot flushes were my primary side effect. Other side effects included locked fingers and Gynecomastia. Occasionally, I had pains in my arms and legs tingling in fingers and toes. In the last few years I complained about sharp pains in the groin. Lately, I developed

Lupron and shrinking penis
I understand that Lupron can cause this side effect. I have been taking injections for 1 year. At this point, the shrinkage is so much that it is almost nonexistent? Has anyone else had this problem and does it go away after stopping Lupron?

Drugs interactions
I am on Lupron as the only current PC treatment. Testosterone is <>1% as of Dec/18. PCP is looking to get me on (very expensive , hard to get) Serostim to help me with HIV/PC wasting SE's Thoughts, please be kind as ADT makes me get upset for nothing. Thank you.

Abiraterone vs Nubeqa
I've been on Lupron only for 5 years, metastatic to bones. Generic AA would be the next cheapest step, but I notice my new Medicare drug plan shows $2,800 for a year's worth of Nubeqa. Any advantage to going with Nubeqa other than possible difference in side effects?

Still confused about PSA and Testosterone testing
I have been reading posts here for some time and there seems to be a split between those who only get PSA tests each time they go to their doctors and those that get both tests each time. I had a baseline testosterone test before Lupron and before radiation. I am now doing my 6 month follow up and

PSA trippled since last Lupron infusion
My PSA was 0.05 between February 2023 and June 2023, then in September it ticked higher to 0.06 and at yesterday's Lupron injection it was 0.17. Should I be concerned? Anybody with similar experience: what did you do? Am I CR or still CS? Should I ask for Lu-177/Pluvicto ASAP? Thanks for reading.
