How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
I started my hormone treatment with firmagon + apalutamide beginning 2023. The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my psa dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4

Now what? Second go-around of docetaxel not responding.
I am 65 years old and was Diagnosed 8 years ago with stage 4 PC. Metastasis to hips, pelvis, ribs and many lymph nodes. Took 6 rounds of docetaxel followed by ongoing Lupron injections and then 3 years of Zytiga. PSA was driven down to 2.0 from 76 with 1st 6 rounds of docetaxel. Zytiga drove PSA down

HELP WITH SIDE EFFECTS FROM ENZALUTAMIDE
In 2019 after a prolonged bout of diarrhea a blood test was ordered, the cause of the diarrhea was not discovered but the test indicated bone cancer. From there tests showed extensive bone mets and grade 9 Gleason APC. Chemotherapy radiation and firmagon followed. My psa went way down for about 18 months

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
Does anyone know of any studies or MO advice they've gotten regarding use of Dutasteride or Finasteride at very early signs of Biochemical Reccurrence (uPSA in the 0.03 - 0.1 range) prior to Salvage Radiotherapy? It's obviously going to slow PSA doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time

PSA Response From Broccoli Sprout Extract (Sulforaphane) May Due To Just Being Moderate ADT
I forgot I ran across this a 2 years ago as many with PCa diagnosis are very interested in Sulforaphane due to a lot of excitement from a few studies a few years ago. (This fueled an explosion of supplements on Amazon.) This however is one of the more expensive supplements and my jury is still out

AMG 509 (Xaluritamig): update on this immunotherapy for mCRPC
They published the first findings on Cancer Discovery. "Efficacy as measured both by PSA and objective response by RECIST were encouraging in this heavily pretreated mCRPC population, and responses occurred with greater frequency in the higher-dose cohorts. PSA declines were seen starting with 0.1 mg

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports
