Abiraterone Caused High Blood Pressure
I started Lupron 3 month +Abiraterone + Prednisone almost 4 weeks ago. In 4 weeks, my Blood Counts went down (see indicators below). My Blood Pressure is higher than before (90 - 148). Medical Oncologist says that it's common for blood pressure to go up and that I should monitor it and start taking

Eligard vs Lupron
is there any significant difference between Lupron and Eligard…? I am focused on the Stampede protocol and it seems to specify Lupron.

Leg Pain - 4th Week on Lupron
Hi Friends, I'm on 4th week of ADT (Lupron+Abiraterone). Yesterday I started feeling right upper leg pain in the quads area. I'm not sure whether it's bone or muscle pain. But it's getting worse. I can barely walk. At first I was thinking may be I strained it. But I didn't do anything different than

PSA increase.
My PSA has increased from .13 to .73 in 3 1/2 months. Does this mean I am castrate resistant. Or does it need to increase over a couple more samples first. Can my PSA change this much for other reasons. I am currently on Lupron. Thanks for any input.

Lupron
Be very careful – in that if you have any heart problems, make sure you have regular appointments with your cardiologist. I have a replaced Mitral heart value which is stainless steel valve. The Lupron damaged my heart – in a regular heart beat 85% to 90% of the blood is pumped thru the heart with every

Zytiga - Lupron
I was on Zytiga ( now Abi) with lup for several years and it kept my PSA to undetectable. I am now on 0rg0vyx instead of lup and my PSA remains undetectable after 6 years. Sode effects have been tolerable EXCEPT the I developed osteoporosis of the spin and now have multiple collapsed vertebrae and

Sword of Damocles
Hi, I am a month away from completing my initial treatment (external beam and brachytherapy, followed by 2 years of Lupron, Zytiga, and prednisone). I am not sure what to expect as my oncologist was not effusive in showing me a life I can expect. I expect that withing 3-4 months my psa will tell me

Treatment for bone pain?
A friend of mine is experiencing severe bone pain from advanced prostate cancer. His MO is prescribing morphine ( tablets). He says it does help. But I was wondering if there are other medications that can be used for the pain? He is currently on Lupron + aberaterone. He is in his seventh year fighting

Proton treatment - fatigue?
Partner is 66 and has Gleason 7=4+3. He began ADT 4 months ago, with 1 month Lupron shot, then Orgovyx. Other than having some ADT mild fatigue, generally later getting up in the morning, sleepiness around 3 pm, and going to bed a bit earlier, things have pretty much been the same. No hot flashes

Stuffy Ears
Hello all, I have been on Lupron now for 14 months, out of a scheduled 24. About 5 weeks ago, I began to suffer from stuffy ears. Today, my hearing has decreased such that I can no longer hear my alarm clock or phone. I was examined by my PCP, but she didn’t see anything. She referred me to the audiologist

PALB2 genetic defect-Lynparza
I have PALB2 genetic defect. Just completed six cycles of Taxotere as part of triple therapy (chemo, Nubeqa and ADT) for about 20 Mets (PSMA scan) mostly skeletal (no organs). Only four Mets still lit up on PSMA scan after four cycles of chemo/Lupron/Nubeqa. Next PSMA scan in Jan. 2024. Oncologist recommends

Low hemoglobin, and foot neuropathy common with ADT?
I was on Lupon for six months, three years ago and experienced feet going numb mostly at night and low hemoglobin. Those issues subsided once stopping Lupron for a few months. These symptoms became more acute during the last two years on Orgovyx with hemoglobin dropping to 9. ( I also had four

Vacation from Lupron/Zytiga - Temporary or Permanent!
I have been on ADT (Lupron/Zytiga) for 2.5 years. PSA and testosterone immeasurable currently. Looking to go on "vacation" from meds. History: Gleason 8/9 with a PSA of only 1.89 (on Finasteride). CT/Bone scan did not show any definite metastasis. PSMA PET showed "possible" metastasis in 4 spots

Starting Abiraterone and predniSONE
Tomorrow morning I take my first dose of Abiraterone (Zytiga) and predniSONE for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. I don't know what kind of side effects I would get. I hope I would tolerate the treatment well. Reaching this stage of my cancer I reflect on my 12 year journey with prostate

PSA & T is up
We started this journey in June 2022 and hit this PC with triple therapy to stop the cancer that had already attacked his whole skeleton. My husband has now developed a cancerous tumor in his head in the sinus cavity and behind his eye which has caused him double vision and pain. It’s wrapped around

Treatment options
Hi- I have posted a few times about my brother who was diagnosed in March 2021. For 18 months he did really well on Abiterone. His PSA went from his initial diagnosis of 52 to under 0.03 for several months. He has Kaiser HMO and unfortunately his oncologist retired at the time his PSA starting trending

Thinking of taking an ADT vacation
Hi, just got my latest PSA result yesterday...it was 0.07 ug/l down from 0.14 ug/l one month ago. I'm almost at the 6 month mark of my ADT journey. Six months ago, my PSA was 14.9 ug/l. I'm thinking of taking a break from the ADT because of the side effects. Is it too risky? Would the PSA start

reduced mobility and energy on Lupron and lubecka
My husband’s ability to walk and to climb stairs and his energy level is much diminished now that he has been on lupron and lubecka for about a year and a half. Is this typical? What do other men taking these drugs do to maintain their energy level and to stay mobile?
