Experiences with

Orchidectomy

Is it possible with such low T levels following Orchidectomy that Estradiol would be so high?

He got orchidectomy done in Feb. He got his latest PSMA Pet scan on September 7th. The scan shows some improvement but uptake in three places (attached image with conclusion. The uro-onco has suggested either chemotherapy (docetaxel) or radiation to the three new Mets.

He got a bilateral orchidectomy done as well, so no Lupron. I wanted to get recommendations for oncologists especially those dealing with Prostate cancer in Ontario, Canada. Please help. Thank you.

Preceding Nubeqa I had an orchidectomy. I have been on Ibandronic Acid for bone health on a 150g monthly dose. Now I want to use low dose Estrogen based patches instead of Ibandronic Acid. I do the usual weights, exercises, and walking etc as well.

For anyone who had the bilateral orchidectomy, I would like some advice for my husband. When was it done? Before or after BCR occurred? What are the side effects? Do you take any other ADT meds after? How is your QOL and is there anything you'd do differently. He had RP in Dec 2021.

Things he tried: Lupron (on for years before failed) Zytiga (worked for 18 months) Orchidectomy Then the chemo. He is not a candidate for radiation because of a previous cancer. He is going to get a PET scan and go back to oncologist in 6 weeks.

Hi Everyone, Firstly want to say thanks for all the responses to my last post regarding my husbands dreadful side effects of Doxcetaxel. Each reply was encouraging and informative. After 3 infusions with Doxcetaxel and horrendous side effects, my husbands psa has climbed to 900 which is alarming. The

My husband has been on Nubeqa for 3 1/2 years now. His PSA is rising again, so MO has ordered another PSMA scan and also did a Guardant 360 liquid biopsy blood test, to hopefully find out what's going on. MO said if something shows up on his scan, he will probably start him on Olaparib (Lynparza) and

He got bilateral orchidectomy done in feb’24. We are considering dendritic cell therapy for him to be done next month. His MO in India said that he has not seen anyone do DC till now and that it might not be helpful. Just trying to find examples specifically from someone has done it in India?

I've been on Orgovyx for 33 months for metastatic prostate cancer. Constipation is a known issue with Orgovyx and it has affected me to some degree most of the 33 months. Earlier this year it seem to get more chronic and intractable. I'm also currently using a 37.5mg weekly E2 patch, up from 0.025 twice

Very happy with results, PSA undetectable and other blood values good, too. No medication since orchiectomy in 02/2024. Still exercising daily and continuing with plant based diet plus some fish. For more details pls see bio. Will invite my wife for dinner tonight.

Hi Everyone My husband (diagnosed November 2013 see bio ) November 2023 prescribed 2nd generation Xtandi as Zoladex injections became castrate resistent, he has no mets. The full dose became intolerable so Onc lowered it to 2 x 80mg, things were going ok psa was dropping good, then started to slow

My dad had his 1st pluvicto injection beginning of May He had his PSA taken 3 weeks later. It went from 16 to 23. I’m hoping this isn’t an indicator that this will fail too. He has been dealing with prostate cancer for 20+ years -prostate removed - watching till number doubled - maybe 5 years

I'm interested in chatting with those who have had an orchiectomy, guess thats how you spell it. I'm tired of all the side affects of cancer drugs and all the problems they cause to my body so I'm concidering having an orchiectomy. Yes I know all about what happens when you get this but as far as I'm

I posted earlier that I had to ask ChatGPt "who came up with the 'gasoline on a fire' characterization regarding the relationship of testosterone and prostate cancer" and that Chat GPT had answered -- Dr. Patrick Walsh -- (father of the radical prostatectomy.) In that post, discussion turned to Walsh's

A question for anyone who has found an answer... From 2018, when diagnosed, I have been told by doctors, urologists and oncologists that; "Testosterone, in prostate cancer, is like gasoline on a fire!" When I first heard this it seemed dubious since what I "knew" about PCa was that young men with
