Experience on Zoladex or Prostap for endometriosis
hey all, I was just looking to hear people’s experiences treating endo with zoladex/prostap injection. I finally saw an endo specialist and has recommended another laparoscopy but excision surgery as my first one was ablation, but he wants me to have this injection and see if my symptoms improve for

THC/ Cannabis having Curative Effects for PC???
Ran across this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7503992/ But is there any proof that THC helps to cure PC or lower PSA? I believe it’s used for pain relief, but are its benefits been proven beyond that? Thank you very much.

Constipation is a known issue with the Orgovyx
I've been on Orgovyx (Relugolix) for around 2.5 years now. and find myself getting increasingly constipated. It's the most tenacious SE. My labs are all stable and my PSA is stable at <0.02. But I'm now on 4 types of laxatives and next am planning on getting an enema and trying that. I have an appt with

After diagnosis of prostate cancer I found the U of Marylands success terminating cancer with clioquinol + zinc. They emphasis treatment for prolactin dependent cancer that my doctors didn't seem to know existed. Anyone else find that to be true?

First PSA test post radiation and Orgovyx
My husband had his first PSA test today… about a month after 28 proton radiation treatments, and over two months on Orgovyx… Result: <0.10 This seems really good to us! ( last PSA was 46.6 before treatment) Does it sound like a good result to all of you at this stage? Meeting with medical oncology

Cancer return alert without scan or PSA ?
I'm more curious than anything to hear if you knew the cancer had returned somehow before any scan or blood test really told you? Pain? Bladder issues? Other signs ??? I'm wondering how many really knew somehow or sensed it and it was later confirmed ? Most people are very in-tuned to their own body

low dose abiraterone and possible pain
Hello everyone, i am new here for my dad and found this community very helpful. Does anybody here find low dose protocol of abiraterone effective? Also, how do you treat bone pain? Or how do you determine if pain is coming from the bone or some other factors like chronic pelvic-prostate syndrome?

Vacation from Lupron/Zytiga - Temporary or Permanent!
I have been on ADT (Lupron/Zytiga) for 2.5 years. PSA and testosterone immeasurable currently. Looking to go on "vacation" from meds. History: Gleason 8/9 with a PSA of only 1.89 (on Finasteride). CT/Bone scan did not show any definite metastasis. PSMA PET showed "possible" metastasis in 4 spots

Break from ADT or not?
Hi everyone, my Dad was recommended 18-24 months of Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone after Radiation Therapy. We reached that time and MO said that is up to my Dad if he wants to continue the treatment or not. Lately my dad had high blood pressure over 200 and he ended up in ER, but now the blood pressure is

Starting Abiraterone and predniSONE
Tomorrow morning I take my first dose of Abiraterone (Zytiga) and predniSONE for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. I don't know what kind of side effects I would get. I hope I would tolerate the treatment well. Reaching this stage of my cancer I reflect on my 12 year journey with prostate

Radiation at low PSA levels
I saw an article or a feed somewhere for starting radiation for recurrence after RP that salvage radiation at around 0.05 level provides a higher potential for cure vs. waiting until it rises to 0.20+. Has anyone seen this article or statistic? Tx

Down reg carpal tunnel
Just starting my 1st cycle on the nhs and down regulating with prostap which I had injected on the 6th. I've had some mild CTS in the past but since the injection I've found it has flared up and is worse than I've ever had it before. I have heard that CTS can be linked to hormone changes, particularly

Could I try BAT to restore sensitivity to previously used antiandrogen treatments.
I failed Abiraterone and SOC doesn't allow the switch to Enzalutamide. I was reading on the use of BAT to resensitize mCRPC. Would this be a therapy that could work or is it too late now that I have failed. I know its not SOC but I am running out of choices and looking for some clarity. Its basically

Provenge Complete
Well folks, I completed Provenge with no issues or SE’s to note. I understand my PSA will not be lowered by this treatment and it has gone way up, from 24 first of October to 58 last week. I am still waiting to hear from Sarah Cannon Research to review possible clinical trials. In a way I feel like

Anti thyroglobulin Antibody High
