ADT before Surgery?
I have a prostatectomy which is probably 6-8 weeks in my future. My outlook is that metastasis in imminent. (T3bM0n0 and no evidence of cancer outside the gland as of May 25 PSMA PET scan, but I am told I am intermediate/unfavorable and my PSA went from 10 to 12 in only a month.) Today is August 18.

Confused - who can give me ADT injections?
Need some help with this. I traveled out of town to a Proton treatment Center of Excellence, and it was determined that I would start ADT upon returning home. So I got back home, contacted the RO who had originally seen me and suggested the Proton treatment, then set up an appointment to go into the

Et triple negative platlets gone up to 1560
Hi all, Just getting back on here about platlets increasing over 1500,My hematologist will want me on hydroxyurea as he said when I go over 1500 that is his way forward. The past 2 bloods I had done have come down from 1420 to 1402 to 1300 last time 6 weeks ago. I am just wondering if it has to be this

My thyroid seems worse with every dose increase.
I could not take levo/synthroid..It made me feel too bad. One time on synthroid I had good numbers still felt awful. I switched to armor. It seems the dose will make me feel good for about a month...then I start getting worse and worse..The next month they check my thyroid numbers and they are higher

PSA drop after ADT
My PSA went from 14.9 ug/l in May to 5.9 ug/l in June to 0.24 ug/l when tested 2 days ago after Lupron injection 3 months ago. Naturally I'm very relieved over the drop.My oncologist has pretty much left the decision to me on the ADT duration. I had earlier voiced my reservation about ADT on account

Help with results please :)
Hi and thanks for reading in advance. I’ve recently had bloods done after a small increase in Levo and I’m not understanding why they are more raised since the increase. I have had a few things all going on at the same time for the last 2.5 years, menopause, vit D deficiency(now in range), B12 deficient

ADT and Headaches
To all, I may have mentioned it before, but I've had low-level but disruptive headaches since I started ADT along with low RBC/Hemoglobin/Hematocrit. Also as a diabetic, I've been on metformin for many years, thus depleting my B12 levels. I've talked to my doctors about this, and the only solution

Barcelona PC Docs
I am looking for a recommendation of a good prostate cancer doctor and facility in Barcelona. I am finishing up two years or ADT (Lupron and Xtandi) after RALP and radiation and want to spend some time there. Monitoring and maintenance mode. Any thoughts?

What level should CA125 be after total hysterectomy & bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy?
Hi everyone. I am very new to this forum and can see how vital forums such as this are for those of you who are bravely battling cancer as they provide such essential support, compassion, care and advice to so many and their respective families, partners and friends too. I only wish I had found this

Lu177 Long Term Survival
Does anyone have long term survival figures for Lu177 treatment? Is is a one time thing or can it be repeated? Is it easier on the body than ADT? Thanks everyone.

sweating and tired
I’m having masses of hot flashes and I’m really tired. I’ve lost 10kg over the last three months (deliberately through low carb diet) but I’m thinking that might mean I’m now over medicated because I am less kilos than before. The other possibility is that I’ve not used my hrt patch for a few weeks

TURP and Prostatectomy
I am looking at a prostatectomy, but I had a TURP 8 yrs ago. How does this change the risk factors and my potential quality of life for a prostatectomy? If I did radiation therapy, they would like me to have another TURP to remove some of the prostate that is growing into the bladder before starting
