chemo experiences
I will be starting chemo for the first time with carboplatin/docetaxel next week after recovering a bit from radiation therapy to shrink the prostate. Can others tell me of their experience with this treatment? They will also give me CSF (Zarxio). Age 69. Reside in the Pacific northwest. Diagnosed

Gaining weight on ADT
Hey all. I’ve been on Lupron for about 2 years and Zytiga/prednisone for the past year. I’m metastatic, with a few bone and lymph node mets. PSA levels have dropped to no-detect for the past 6 months. Wooooot! But I’ve dropped some weight without trying. I’m about 5’-10” and typically at about 165.

Has anyone used 7 keto DHEA
7 keto DHEA is a parent hormone that is not converted to steroid hormone such as androgen and estrogen. It is used to improve lean body mass and build muscle, increase the activity of the thyroid gland, boost the immune system, enhance memory and slow aging. I am on lupron and xtandi.

2nd PSA Post RP
6 weeks post RP and removal of lymph glands with one positive, the PSA was 8.4 and Testosterone 15. I hesitated on starting Lupron and discussed with both the Oncologist and the Urology surgeon whether surgical castration would be appropriate. The decision was that I would wait for another PSA/Test bloodwork

Well, it happened . . .
After 10 years of experiencing various prostate cancer treatments, it sounds like next month I'll probably be moving onto Provenge. I know it prolongs life without lowering your PSA (another topic entirely), but how long does it slow/stop progression? In other words could I plan on it "working" for

Swelling behind my knees, below my eyes, along the front of legs, breasts, neck. What is going on?
I have been on this site now for some months. It is very uplifting to find a support group like this. My journey so far is this. I was diagnosed in December 2016. My PSA then was 116; Gleason Score of 9. My MO placed me immediately on Taxo chemo. I did 6 rounds of it. Then I started taking Lupron

Is monthly Lupron better than 6 month Eligard?
On my first 24 month round of hormone therapy I was on Lupron monthly. Now on my second round of hormone therapy, after a 24 month vacation, had a 4 month shot of Eligard followed by a 6 month shot of Eligard. Two months into the recent shot my psa has doubled to 1.16. Could the 6 month shot have failed
