Just starting my voyage
So it’ll be lupron,
Zytiga
(+ prednisone) and chemo for me starting week of May 30. Research has shown some good responses but 2-4 years seems to be the norm. To tell you the truth I’m scared and any ‘good’ news would be appreciated. Anyone gone into remission with what I have?

Rising Liver Enzymes
On
Zytiga
, Prednisone and Lupron (standard plan). PSA has gone from 8.0 to undetectable within 3 months period but Liver Enzymes have started climbing over last 30 days. Any thoughts? Which is lesser poison, liver destruction or slow growing PC.

My prostate cancer experience
The oncologist started me on Firmagon,
Zytiga
and prednisone which had the expected effect of chemical castration. My thinking changed and it’s not possible to describe without some reference, the constant clouded mind and poor memory didn’t help my emotional condition.

A 5 yr warrior growing weary
He moved onto
zytiga
/Lynparza after doxetacel about six months ago . His lethargy and weakness increased . Despite bone pain and occasional fractures (all horrible experiences for him) it’s kept the cancer at bay. Three weeks ago, he went in for a valve replacement .

Bone scans show no change in mets, but PSA rising
On Zoladex from Aug/21, and
Zytiga
+ Prednisolone from Jan/22. Current status is: Mets present in pelvis (3) and ribs (2). Bone scans 4 months apart (Jan-May/22) show no change in size or number of mets. But PSA continues to rise (7.6 to 10 over same period).

I am apprehensive to write this - but HOLY COW!
So I assumed that
Zytiga
had failed and things were about to go to the next phase. Instead, the Doctor shows me the PSMA scan that I took last month. Amazing how the metastasis shows up like a light bulb rather than like a shade of gray on a bone scan.

Other Gleason 8 guys, I see in studies, research and in on going trials, Radical Prostatectomy shows better over all survival
Started Firmagon 7/6/2022
Zytiga
with Prednisone 7/20/2022 and Docetaxel Chemotherapy on 08/11/2022 Ductal Prostate Cancer is aggressive, it cannot be monitored by psa score alone. As it can still spread by low non existing psa numbers.

My experience and being my own advocate
I get a Lupron injection once every three months 4 pills,
Zytiga
with prednisone a day. My PSA has Been below 1 or slightly above that. Three months ago it started to climb and was 2. I , on my own , began taking 6 250 mg of
Zytiga
and in a month cut my PSA in half.

Milestone Day
I had my final TreStar injection in April and my Last
Zytiga
/Prednisone yesterday. 2 years of treatment (also had proton therapy) following the Stampede protocol. Now it is time to watch and wait! Prayers up that the testosterone returns, and the PSA does not!

Next steps? Zytiga and Radiation
He has offered
zytiga
and radiation of the prostate. MO mentioned there is no guarantee
Zytiga
even works, and if it does work, he might get 4-5 months out of it. The radiation is for palliative purposes to hopefully help with the symptoms.

A decision to be made....
I have been on
Zytiga
(1000mg daily), Prednisone (10mg daily) and Eligard (quarterly) since I started this journey in May of 2020. My PSA result have been <0.1 June 2020, and since 8/2021 its been <0.04. Should I take time off from the Eligard injection. Not sure what to do.

Interpretation of PSMA PET results
So my recent history is this: Dec 2018: began ADT vacation (intermittent lupron/
zytiga
) after whole-pelvic EBRT mid-Aug 2021: PSA has risen enough to resume ADT.

ADT and muscle joint pain
Added detail: I added
Zytiga
to my treatment in 6/21. I discontinued it due to severe fatigue and lethargy (not pain) in 11/21. I began to taper off of prednisone around Christmas. I tapered slowly until end of February when oncologist suggested I finish the taper and stop.
