What is the cost of xgeva
Starting to take xgeva this month, what is the cost and is their a co pay when you get the shot from your oncologist. Lupron has no co pay on my insurance but is this any different ?

Brusing
Hello Gents... Anyone experiencing random body bruises ? I am stage 4 and starting chemo in 2 weeks... Lupron stopped working after 5 years and zytiga/prednisone didn’t really do anything.. I’m thinking my bone mets are the bruises but most are in my spine but no bruising there... any thoughts?

Does castration effectively knock down the PSA?
Going to see doc in the morning. Had 2 lupron shots. PSA still at 156. Came down from 300 with first shot but not coming down with second shot. Wondering if there is a more potent shot. I want to get castration but having a problem getting DR to perform procedure without going through every alternative

Does Hormone Therapy for mPC Affect Immunity?
I would like to know if hormone therapy increases or decreases or has no effect on immunity. I have my wife's fears that since I have cancer I am among the most vulnerable4 to Covid 19. My doctor, however, advised me the opposite, that it does not, that hormone therapy, unlike chemotherapy does not

Side effect comparisons: Adovart vs Lupron
I'm interested in hearing a comparison of side effects. I have not had Avodart but might consider it down the road. My main complaints about Lupron include: decreased metabolism leading to obesity, loss of muscle mass, loss of bone density, fatigue and lethargy.

to scan or not to scan
Gleason 8, 50 %, 2014. Ten months adjuvant and neoadjuvant Lupron, 48 sessions IGRT. PSA after treatment was 0.1 and remained at that level. DREs negative. Is it time for PSMA scan or do I wait for PSA increase ?

5 year Survivor
Hi, my name is Lana. October 6th was my 5 year in remission. And I was allowed to stop all hormone treatment letrozole and lupron shot. Still waiting for my ovaries to wake back up though so I can try for my first baby. Does anyone have any experience about the period coming back after breast cancer

Please help us to decide!
Hi worriers, there is a situation wondering if you can help us. My husband diagnosed with stage 4, Gleason 4+5, PSA 13, with 2 or 3 bone mets, exactly a year ago. He was immediately put on ADT+ Zytiga, he had 40 days of radiation as well, his PSA dropped to 0.04 and stayed there. He had to stop zytiga

Weight gain after stopping ADT
Hello fellow warriors, Last Lupron shot I got was in April . In June I finished taking Zytiga. Since then I've been gradually gaining weight (about two Kg). Some part of of the weight I guess can be attributed to the muscles i'm regaining - been working out two to three times a week, and indeed I feel

Great news, I can stop taking Lupron
My Oncologist told me today that based on my latest PSA reading (0.01) and scan results, to hold off having my next Eligard shot next month to see what happens to my PSA level. Effectively active surveillance. It was music to my ears, he told me to go on vacation 👏👏👏👏. 12 months ago I went to the

PSA after restarting ADT
I restarted ADT with Eligard on August 31 2020 when my PSA was 0.453 and Testosterone 147. Today my PSA is 0.266 and Testosterone < 20. When I started Lupron + Casodex in November 2018 my PSA was 4.48, which dropped to 0.17 in just three months. This time, why the rate of PSA drop is much slower? During
