Considering Orchiectomy
Began Firmagon and Erleada. 3 months later PSA .14,
Testosterone
4.7. Considering orchiectomy. From what little I have read it seems to offer a little more in terms of length and quality of life and may be a little less expensive. Would like thoughts from you all.

Rank Neutraceuticals / Off-Label Drugs By Most Likely Most Beneficial
(Also seems to contradict other studies regarding Sulforphane.) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5444299/ The overall pattern I'm seeing is that Prostate cancer is essentially fueled by
Testosterone
/DHT and Lipids.

Where and what is your hair loss like?
One symptom I have is hair loss, however because I also have hormonal issues they aren't sure if it's PCOS (but no cysts/high
testosterone
) I have hair loss on my head, diffusely, it's fine, brittle and getting weaker and there are some patchy areas where the hair loss is more obvious.

Guys that Spike with High T and Androgen101
As mentioned above, SHBG binds to
testosterone
. Sometimes high
testosterone
levels are not caused by an increase in
testosterone
production, but decreased levels of SHBG (2,9). interesting I wonder if this good could be a reason why some guys Spike on T when introduced to a new therapy????

Breast Tenderness post Eligard
It's been a year since my last 3-month Eligard injection (following radical prostatectomy and salvage radiation) and my PSA level in late November has stayed undetectable while my
testosterone
level has risen to 13.2 nmol/L. Recently my breasts have become quite tender.

My experience with Orgovyx / Relugolix
My last pill was November 27, 6 weeks later my
Testosterone
has recovered to 643, and PSA is still a respectable 0.2. My insomnia and hand cramps are gone, but I still have some fatigue, and my sexual SE are still pretty bad.

Next Treatment Step
Testosterone
remained < 3. On Oct. 2021 my MO switched me from prednisone to dexamethasone, which did not seem to help, as PSA increased from 0.27 to 0.45 to 0.57 to 0.74 (as of 1/20/22). See my profile for more details.

Update - ADT with Zytiga Failure (Castration Resistant) after 6 Months (PSA 90.3); Firmagon still Working; PSMA PET Scan Ordered
Firmagon brought the
Testosterone
down to < 7 almost right away, but PSA went to 160. Zytiga and Prednisone were added in March and brought the PSA back down to 5. The PSA starting rising again about 2 months ago and is back up to 90.3 as of a blood test yesterday.

Estrogen Patch ADT
My personal experience was that during the 6 months I was on estrogen patches, my
testosterone
was undetectable for the most part, it did bounce up to the low 20s a couple of times but I was experimenting with the dose. When I got the dose tuned in my
testosterone
was undetectable.

Cannot find an answer to this!
Recently I decided to go to them only citing the monthly swings and not the thyroid effects but the blood tests were rubbish - no account of where you are in your cycle, and written off as being fine when my
testosterone
is off the bottom of the range and my oestrogen was off the top.

My PSA is now at 47 after a high of 160 and a low of 5 after starting ADT with Firmagon, Abiraterone and Prednisone about 9 months ago
Now my PSA is back to 74 and the
testosterone
is still negligible at < 7. Apparently that is the definition of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer CRPC.

Can cirrhosis come and go? Should I be receiving 6 month scans?
I take
testosterone
daily as my T was low about 9.5 but it is now up to 24 and I have a good and enjoyable sex drive.

More in Zinc, Clioquinol, and Cabergoline for Prolactin
I have learned much from the linked article’s references showing the inter relationship between the loss of the zing transporter ZIP1 in prostate cancer, and then the contributing effects of
testosterone
and of prolactin in maintaining and progression to
testosterone
independent CRPC and prolactin dependent

Is this pointing to cancer becoming castrate resistant?
I understand the standard <50 was established in 1980s when
testosterone
measurements were less accurate.
