Good News-But Do I Belong Here?
Hello all. I comment/reply sometimes (usually about exercise), but create posts much less often. It's been awhile though, and something has come up that prompts this one, Quick recap: RP in June '19 and a subsequent clinical trial beginning Sept '19 due to positive lymph node and seminal vesicle invasion

recurring lymph node prostate cancer
Ive been diagnosed recurring prostate cancer in my lymph node only. Ive taken a 6 month Lupron injection (PSA down from 2.0 to .11) , recommended for Zytiga, then radiation as soon as possible. My liver numbers are up due to the Lupron injection and not sure I can make it through the Zytiga. Might

Undetectable PSA is back
Maybe I can ask for your advice? You find my full bio in my profile. Yesterdays blood test shows PSA < 0.05 and Testosterone 0.03. I restarted Lupron end of January, so it’s now six months. Would you recommend a total of 12, 18 or 24 months before the next holiday or continue „forever“? Comment: side

Advice on radiation treatment?
Hi, my husband (57) and I are new here. My husband was diagnosed with Stage 4b many mets to lymph system in pelvis, abdomen and the subclavicular lymph nodes in March. He’s on Lupron, was on Zytiga until his liver enzymes went way up (ALT 559 and AST 230) and will get radiation soon. The RO said

IP6 + Inositol seems to be working for me.
After battling PCa for nearly 19 years with disappointments galore, I may now have found something with positive results. I had radical prostatectomy in August 2003 (Gleason: 4+3) which was followed by a very gradual PSA rise over 11 years. I had conventional treatments (salvage radiation, spot radiation

Radiation complete
Feeling great! 20 sessions. Having the fiducials implanted turned out to be of great benefit as the machine stopped numerous times during treatment to reposition due to internal movements. ( it checks every 10 seconds for alignment ) only mild side effects from radiation- diarrhea mild fatigue

HANGING UP MY SPIKES.
Well as you can tell I am leaving Health Unlocked (MaleCare) since regrettably my red carpet is frayed and threadbare. It’s ironic I am abandoning the ship just as The Constitution of Medical Knowledge is being implemented in dear old Health Unlocked. This implementation has nothing with me abandoning

Does Prostate Cancer-produced Testosterone (T) Show Up In Normal T, Test?
I have been on Lupron, Erleada & Xgeva for 3 months. T has dropped from 331 to 42, 43 & 39, respectively. First 3 taken @ 2pm & last @ 8am, in the day. PSA has continued to drop from 7.3, 0.7, 0.3 & now 0.2, respectively. It seems that the T should be dropping more? Is it reflecting the T made by the

Dumb Question on Casodex
Four weeks of Casodex 50 mg alone reduced my PSA from 1.10 to 0.42. Casodex stops testosterone from all sources from binding to cancer cells. While Lupron decreases testosterone produced by the testicles. Why shouldn't Casodex be better than Lupron?

Enough is Enough - Alicia Morgans, MD, MPH,
Thought this was interesting. When I saw the Director of Urology at a major NCCN institute in late 2016 for a 2nd opinion after surgery and SRT failed and I argued my case for triplet therapy, he said, no, he would only treat me with monotherapy, ADT, Lupron. Needless to say, I thanked him, left, went

Rib Cage intermittent sharp pains
Recently started having intermittent sharp pains that shoot thru the right side of my rib cage. No strenuous activity that would cause a pulled muscle or such. Had mildly elevated liver enzymes on last blood test so am curious if there might be a connection. On standard, Zytega, Prednisone and Lupron

My Mother’s BC
I‘m trying to understand my mother’s treatment for stage I BC. She is 83 y/o and she was diagnosed in May with a 9mm tumor in one of her breasts. With only a scan to mark the tumor, she was sent to a general surgeon to remove the tumor as well as the “Main Breast Lymph Node” in the armpit. Is that normal

Ending ADT Vacation
Today I had Lupron 3 month shot ending a vacation of one year. I had been on 50 mg Casodex for 4 weeks before this Lupron shot. Originally, it was planned for a 2 week on Casodex. Unfortunately, 2 weeks extended to 4 weeks because my wife got Covid 19 after a trip to London. On June 1 my PSA was

I'm 84 and diagnosed with PC 5 months ago. I was told I had High Risk Localized PC with a Gleason score of 8.
I was put on Firmagon immediately and took 45 radiation IMRT sessions, which I just finished. Although the pet and bone scans showed no signs of spread outside the prostate, I am also taking 500mg of Zytiga with 5mg of Prednisone as a precaution, . I also take .4 mg Flomax (I no longer have fainting
