SARMs RAD 140 up date
Can any of you other car guys correctly identify The make, model and year of these cars from my collecting days? I think my record below from my profile shows that RAD 140 was clearly having a strong effect on my PSA. Your mileage may vary but I would strongly advise caution. 6/15/22 - 0.01

Symptoms when ADT no longer works?
Hello, everyone! I have begun year two of stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer and I have BRCA2. Taking abiraterone + prednisone daily and Lupron shots twice a year. I am doing my best to live one day at a time but wonder what things will look like when the cancer becomes resistant. Does anybody know?

Do you also have these symptoms?
Hi everyone! I've had stage 4 metastatic cancer with BRCA2 for a year now. Being treated with abiraterone and prednisone, Lupron twice a year, and had 28 radiation treatments in December 2022. I would like to know if others are experiencing the symptoms I am. Hot flashes and crying, due to Lupron.

Is it normal taking lupron shots and after awhile doesn’t work?
Writing for my husband, he had his prostate removed and after his first blood to test his psa , it wasn’t zero so the doctor wanted him to do radiation but he refused. Since his psa was raising he decided to take Lupron and at the beginning was working but his last psa it doubled. We don’t know if there

high blood pressure
hello everyone! My dad was diagnosed with MBC in June of 2022. He is currently on lupron, xjeva every 6 months, Ibrance, and letrozole. Random question for y’all: have you had an increase in blood pressure since going on any of these meds? His BP has always been pretty normal but every time at the

PSA and Images all stable for 4.5 years.
Tired of the side effects so with OK's from both of my MO's I started a vacation. Lupron and Zytiga stopped until either chemical or image progression shows up. The goal is to rebuild the lost muscle and possible lose some of the other SE's -Fatigue and brain fog being most annoying. My question is

PSA after 4-5 months on Lupron (Scholz)?
Just watched a Scholz (PCRI) video posted last week about PSA. He said multiple times that PSA should reach a nadir of <0.1 after 4-5 months on 1st generation ADT and that if it didn't "[i]something's wrong, that is an unusual type of prostate cancer that has some hormone resistance and studies over

ART TET Testosterone and the Prostate; the Myth
Amazing; this is a five year old podcast that talks about testosterone and the prostate. It also addresses what it calls; “The myth,” that testosterone is counter indicated for prostate cancer patients, both on active surveillance or in recovery. I continue to be amazed that this information has been

Triple Therapy
I started with Lupron+Abiraterone + Docetaxel. As I mentioned before elevated liver enzymes caused MO to place me on an Abiraterone vacation after cycle 1 of Docetaxel. Docetaxel was reduced to 3/4 dosage. Yesterday, I received my 3rd cycle of 3/4 dosage of Docetaxel, my 3 month injection of Lupron

Update
Hi All! I've been keeping up reading your posts and just want you all to know that I include you in my prayers daily. Time for an update. Brian's PSA on Jevtana has stayed relatively stable in the mid 30's. His last 3 scans have shown no growth. The doctors are very encouraged. BUT since he's

Energy Boosters?
62 months of Lupron, Zytiga and prednisone is starting to take its toll on my energy. I still do an hour of QiGong, biking and hiking most days but getting harder to motivate myself through the ever increasing exhaustion. That said, anyone finding an energy boost from medical cannabis?

Enzalutamide/Xtandi monotherapy as ADT with fewer side effects than Lupron
Enzalutamide monotherapy can improve the quality of live for advanced prostate cancer patients. Thank you, Prof. Tombal, for promoting this arm in the Embark trial! Enzalutamide does not lower testosterone and estrogen, it even increases the level of these. This avoids the following side effects of

EMBARK trial results reported
Pfizer reported results of the EMBARK trial testing Xtandi+Lupron or Xtandi alone against Lupron+Placebo.
Seems that hormone-sensitive patients may be able to choose Xtandi alone and avoid Lupron
. This applies to patients who had no metastases on CT/bone scan. Pfizer writes: [i]The study also

Mr. Spouse 21 is on rewind: Stable again!
The prompt says: "Tell Your Story." Well, it's my husband's story almost identical to 5 months ago, 3 months before that, and multiple months before that, so I'm repeating the posting from 5 months ago below. He's stable again with nearly identical numbers. ALP 38, PSA 0.10. He was a Gleason 9 now in

Next Step?
I have been treated for more than 10 years (except for 3 vacations during the first 5 years) and for the most part have been on Lupron and Zytiga. Starting 2 years ago my PSA starting rising from below .05 (MSKCC doesn't measure anything lower than that) up to about .32 over the course of a year. At

What do you think of XGeva?
I was recently diagnosed with bladder cancer to keep my prostate cancer company (see my post a couple of days ago, or my profile).I have an appointment tomorrow with my MO, but he has scheduled me to begin XGeva infusions tomorrow (which is to strengthen bones). I'm assuming this is in response to
