On Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone for nearly 1 YR - Stage 4 w/Bone Met
Testosterone
was 650. Now after 1 year, I'm at 0.02 PSA and <5
Testosterone
, both immeasurable. Prior PET scans revealed that I have 4 rib/shoulder bone lesions which are quite small in volume. The prostate was recently treated with 25 days of EBR. I have a PSMA PET scan coming up next week.

Dumb Question on Casodex
Casodex stops
testosterone
from all sources from binding to cancer cells. While Lupron decreases
testosterone
produced by the testicles. Why shouldn't Casodex be better than Lupron?

Symptoms and reactions after B12 injections
I get blood work done regularly and the things that have stood out is low DHEA for my age, low normal
testosterone
, my B12 from 2018 to now has gone from 620 pg/ml to 311 pg/ml. Declining in a straight line fashion each year and test.

Ending ADT Vacation
On June 1 my PSA was 1.10 and
testosterone
163. Today my PSA was 0.42 and
testosterone
130. The nurse practitioner told me that the drop in
testosterone
is within normal range of fluctuation. I just wonder whether the drop in PSA was due to Casodex only or fall in
testosterone
had a role.

Can grumpiness, mood swings, etc, be directly attributable to levels of testosterone due to Prostrate Cancer?
Having recently being diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, I have found bad mood swings, prickly as a porcupine, not nice to be near symptoms more frequent.

Went to for
testosterone

Anyone prescribe Metformin for prostate cancer not for diabetes?
In benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) xenograft models, metformin inhibits
testosterone
and attenuates prostate weight and pathological alterations31.

replacement therapy) and there are two parts to the therapy, one being an injection of HCG which the clinic ran out of three weeks ago and the feds/FDA have changed the rules for and it's no longer available but there are substitutes available but it took my clinic until

breast pain
I have been off of ADT (Lupron/Zytiga) for about a year and a half - my PSA remains at about 0.2 since my
testosterone
came back about a year ago (currently at 250 ng/dl). a couple of months ago, both breasts started to hurt. They did swell under ADT but have remained constant since I went off.

Smoother skin From Lupron? Chemo?
Could this be the lack of
testosterone
? From the chemo? It's certainly not an issue, but curious. Thanks.

Follow up with VA Testosterone Trial
July 21st I completed my blood work and received my next
testosterone
shot. My ALP was 63 but my PSA numbers are climbing with a 14.4 result. I left out of my last post that I have three cancer areas on my spine where the neck area is the worst.

PSA Rising after 5 years
My
testosterone
is still 0.1 nmol/L. This means I am still castrate sensitive. I guess my question is what should I add to my treatment plan to get the PSA under control. Recent scans show original metastatic disease stable with no new sites.

How infrequently can you be administered Lupron?
It seems if I keep with the normal monthly regiment, my PSA drops below .2 and my
Testosterone
goes to <3. If I don't take Lupron for 2 months by PSA is at .4 but my
testosterone
is now 165. I am 60 years old.

Milestone Day
Prayers up that the
testosterone
returns, and the PSA does not! I am ready to not be bearing the fatigue / hot flashes / emotions that are the hallmark of ADT.
