Anything that can be done here?
4 years ago, my dad (now 72) was diagnosed with (what was at the time thought to be) localized prostate cancer. He underwent radiation and a couple years of Lupron. This past summer, his PSA spiked to 2.0. A PET scan showed no signs of cancer outside the prostate, and a prostate biopsy showed no signs

Edema with Advanced stage 4
Edema. Should we worry? My husband has gained about ten pounds on his 174 lb frame in the last few days. Legs, ankles and buttocks are swollen, tight, and sometimes painful. He is trying to stay active but every time he does anything on his feet this kicks in. I have a message in to his doctor but being

Hot Flashes
I began taking 120 mg daily of Orgovyx last week and am already experiencing hot flashes. I know from my previous experience on Lupron that my hot flashes can be very uncomfortable and embarrassing. My MO prescribed Effexor to control the hot flashes, but upon learning it’s an anti-depressant, I am

Looking for some hope
So I am officially castrate resistant. 3 years and 2 months after my diagnosis. Yesterday I got my results from my PSMA PET scan at Duke and it showed about 7 new spots all in my bones. My C1 (neck) one rib and the rest in my pelvis. I’ve been on Lupron since the beginning, zytiga, then Xtandi also

CMP and PSA update
After 100 day on Lupron and 45 days on Abiraterone my PSA is 0.25 my CMP is normal except for AST which is 39 on a normal range of 15-37 ALT is 56 on a 15-61 normal range. PSA is clearly a good #, should I be worried about rise in AST and ALT as they have both doubled since starting these meds. ?

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

Help with doctors and getting to a plan
In addition to my Gleason 9 and PSA of 18, I have a metastasis on the right pubic bone, discovered by a nm bone scan on Thursday, and am going for chest, ab, pelvic scan today to see if that is the only other site. I met with Dr Cheetham from Mt Sinai because I was waiting and waiting for appointments

Emotional instability after stopping lupron and abiraterone
After an initial few months of positive improvements in every sector, my guy started into a mental health/cognitive decline to the point where he is now dependent on gabapentin he takes for other reasons in order to maintain any emotional stability. He says his short term memory is also getting worse

Starting Xtandi
Almost 2 years on Lupron and Bicaludimide and my PSA is starting to go back up. The least it has been is 1.75 a few months ago then about 2.0 last month and now less than 4. My MOC wanted me to start me on Xtandi . I have read the Xtandi information and there are some severe side effects. None of them

PCa warrior humor
Why is having sex with a guy on Lupron like a snow storm? You never know when he's coming, how many inches you'll get, or how long it will last.

13 year Battle with Stage 4 PC
This is a long post - patience is advised. My warrior husband passed away on Nov 19 after a 13 year battle with Prostate Cancer. He was originally diagnosed in 2008 with a Gleason of 3+4 and PSA of 35 at age 59. He had a radical prostatectomy followed by 34 radiation treatments. His PSA remained undetectable

Estrogen Patch ADT
My personal experience was that during the 6 months I was on estrogen patches, my testosterone was undetectable for the most part, it did bounce up to the low 20s a couple of times but I was experimenting with the dose. When I got the dose tuned in my testosterone was undetectable. Lupron reduces testosterone

Extreme pain in penis
I was dx with advanced PC two months ago. It is apparently aggressive, with bone scan, CT scan, and two MRI's indicating metastases at several sites on bones including pelvic area, and external to areas around prostate. No organs involved and apparently no lymph involvement. I had a Lupron shot and began

Your Lupron experience...
I've been on the 3 month Lupron for a year now and have detected a pattern. The first five days or so I feel okay but weeks 2 and 3 I feel like crap. Easily fatigued, off-balance and just a big lump in my recliner. Thank the gods for Netflix. Anyone else have a similar experience? Best wishes to
