The club you never wanted to join: Stage 4 Gleason 9+ at 46
Hey Guy’s- I appreciate this group starting. Having a slightly more age relevant group is a great idea. Here’s my situation: Diagnosed on my birthday at 46; stage 4 Gleason 9. Lymph nodes involved and masses developing at the base of my penis. That’s a shitty birthday! Fast forward past a lot of

Leg cramps during/after ADT.
Perhaps unrelated? I am curious to see if anyone else has this issue. After radiation treatment (no surgery) I was treated with Lupron for 2 years. About halfway through, besides the normal side effects, I developed leg cramps during exercise, even a short walk. Calcium and Magnesium levels are normal

Xgeva
My dad is on lupron and Zytiga ( prednisone) and now Xgeva which I guess is a monthly shot - is it normal to have to get blood work monthly before the Xgeva and is that ever able to be given every few months rather than monthly ? Thank you!

I bought some dhea with horn goat weed and yohimbe. Will

"Prostate cancer lives as it is born" question (Radiation resistance)
After reading this article years ago, I always wondered about my situation. My gleason is/way 4+3 (95% - 4) so basically gleason 8. My psa started to elevate in 2015 a a faster rate, when my PSA was at 10, I had IMRT and high dose brachytherapy. Two months later my PSA was down to 5, then I felt really

Estrogen therapy rediscovered
Before Lupron got FDA approval, prostate cancer was treated with orchiectomy or estrogens. The latter was done with diethylstilbestrol (DES) offered as fosfestrol and many further names. In India diethylstilbestrol is offered as Honvan and still used today against prostate cancer. In men, the required

Can Erleada/Apalutamide and Xtandi/Enzalutimide be used subsequently or is Xtandi ineffective after Erleada stops working?
If someone is castration sensitive and they start/use Erleada until it stops controlling the PSA, is Xtandi usually effective to use following the Erleada, or will Xtandi be ineffective because it works in the same manner as the Erleada? I understand that Erleada is for non-metastatic and Xtandi is

Zytiga failure after cassodex failure?
I was diagnosed with stage 4 in 2015. I had chemo, lupron, and cassodex, until PSA suddenly spiked last year. I understood it to mean cassodex was having reverse effect. After scans showed tumors growing in prostate, started on Zytiga, with lupron. PSA already started dropping soon as I quit cassodex

Why continue LUPRON when ADT not working?
I have castration resistant prostate cancer with a Testosterone level of 6. I am not sure why I am still taking Lupron when it is clearly not working? Ideas? [i] Like everyone, I hate the side effects! Thanks in advance![/i] History: Diagnosed at Stage 4 (2 years + 3 months ago). Reached mCRPC 1 year

Another stable guy from MA
Like Tom of MA, the scans for my road warrior from MA came back as stable. He hadn't had a CT or bone scan since June, 2020 because he broke his collarbone and bruised a couple ribs bicycling last August. So the bones needed to heal before any imaging could be done. (Some may recall my bragging about

Experiencing different side-effects across Lupron injections
I’ve had Lupron injections twice so far, once in April 2020 and a second time in early Jan 2021. My side-effects are not uncommon in themselves, but I am surprised to notice that they differ wildly from one shot to the next. The side-effects that I’ve experienced across both injections are loss of

Latest PSA & T Results
I continue with great news. PSA, <0.1; T, 566. The results continue from a 2004, six month chemotherapy with ADT trial. Last Lupron injection was February 2010. I wish all good luck in fighting this disease. Gourd Dancer
