Toronto Prostate Cancer Specialist for Dad
He is responding well to the medicines and is on Zytiga +
Prednisone
(5 mg). 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.

Tapering Regime while on Kevzara (or other biologic)
I am grateful I was allowed to try Kevzara after 9 years on
prednisone
and never being able to get below 5 mg without a flare amongst other reasons. I have tried to look up the tapering regime for attempting a taper with this new biologic.

Update on skin lesions
He increased my
prednisone
to 40 mg for four days and the lesions healed leaving behind some patches of purporae. Once I reduced the
prednisone
new patches of lesions developed on my face and neck (intensely irritating).

Right Temple Pain but Tolerable
I’m currently taking 35 mg of
prednisone
and dropping to 30 mg on May 11. My first rheumatologist appointment is May 16. GCA was not confirmed by biopsy but I’m not convinced it’s not GCA or some other type of vasculitis.

Heebeejeebies on low pred??
I have been down to 1mg of
prednisone
since January and toggling back and forth between 1 and 1/2 mg since April. But I feel mentally out of whack. Paranoid. Insecure. Incompetent. Stupid compared to others. Depressed. Anxious.

breathlessness??
I went off
prednisone
and within two days PMR hit with a vengeance. I say PMR rheumatologist says it’s not PMR as I have no elevated inflammatory markers in blood tests. But I was in agony everywhere until I was finally given
prednisone
.

Can you help regarding symptoms?
I am presently on 10 mgs
prednisone
. I think I probably do have PMR as I am uncomfortable and have neck and facial soreness at this dose. I had a thorough eye exam, all is well. Should I worry about irregular transient jaw or head soreness (not serious pain) since my eyes are fine?

PSA Dropped after 22 days of Zytiga
Abiraterone and
Prednisone
was added to Lupron. On November 3 I had a Lupron shot and started Abiraterone and
Prednisone
on November 10. Today I had a PSA test. My PSA dropped from 0.8 on November 1 to 0.44 today. I was not expecting such dramatic fall in PSA after only 22 days of Abiraterone .

Pacing Activity with GCA
I was diagnosed with GCA in April 2024 and am currently on 40 mg of
prednisone
and methotrexate. I have not felt “normal” by any means but recently I was able to do a bit more even with my heavy legs/arms and fatigue.

Could this be Ernest syndrome?
I know I am grasping at straws but since the
prednisone
is not working, just trying to see ifbthere maybe another explanation. The pain in my temples,jaws and back of head are worse than. Ever before.

GCA Duration Expectations
Presently down to 12.5 mg.
prednisone
and Actemra and feeling quite well. Is it reasonable to hope that one could recover without ever flaring again? Is it unreasonable to hope to go back to life as I once knew it?
