HELP! Firmagon reaction?
Hi - yesterday I had my 3rd monthly (80mg) injection of Firmagon. For all my previous injections, including the 2 initial loading doses, I did not have any major side effects, just some minimal soreness at the injection site which resolved in less than 2 days. Yesterday's injection was a little bit

Bloodwork after 4 weeks of SRT and 6 weeks of ADT
I started ADT 6 weeks ago and SRT 4 weeks ago. I just got my bloodwork back. My PSA went from .373 prior to treatment to .148. Is this where I should be at after these many weeks of treatment. Thank you for your answer in advance

PSA down but mets increasing?
I've been on ADT + Xtandi for about a year (see my Bio for details) and my PSA has been slowly and steadily reducing over that time - now down to 0.05. However, my 3 CT scans (last August, December and last month) are showing a slight increase each time in the size of my lymph node mets and the bone

Gp ringing me in the next 2 hours, assistance please!
Hello, Because I've gone downhill in the last few days I called again to speak to someone, this is after my sending in a letter last week with bloods and being ignored (fobbed off, dismissed). Now I'm hot and cold sweats, low level tingling, dry tongue (electrolyte ususally help but not now) unsteady

How long does this process take?
My 2nd post and still full of questions, would like to hear from everyone. Regarding my specific case: I was told I have to do 6 months of ADT and appx 28-30 rounds of EBRT. Of course, I still don't have my PSMA/PET scan results back yet, but I'm assuming the best case scenario. Still trying to make

TSH how long for suppressed TSH to return to normal after stopping T3?
I saw a ‘hormone specialist’ GP today. Again she tried to tell me I need to reduce my levothyroxine because of my suppressed TSH. Only saw her because she’s meant to be good with HRT, but she’s gone mad about my TSH. My FT4 is only 48-% through range, so if anything, I’d like to increase my levo!

Anyone have a dramatic drop in WBC bordering on neutropenia from pelvic radiation (not chemo)?
Husband is 3/4 of the way through an escalated course of IMRT Prostate bed only radiation (plan was for 33 days but they gave larger doses per day and are trying to do it in 20 days). Today (Saturday) we ended up going to the ER because he was having some strange symptoms. Labs showed his WBC counts

Should I fight for Darolutamide ?
Thank you all so far for your advice, I am here again for some more. After RT in a metastastic LN last year, I am again with a PSA 2.0, with a bunch of small LNs showing in the PET. RO gave up. I will start ADT again, this time with a 2nd generation added. I will restart Zoladex, and MO is adding Enzalutamide

Taurine and ADT weight gain
One thing that many PCa endurers see occurring despite their best efforts is weight gain while on ADT. Does the community have any info on whether taurine can help, in conjunction with lots of exercise? I found a couple articles that it might.

How much exercise needed?
I know everybody’s body differs but … still I’d like some guidelines. Until a couple years ago I was pretty fit, running most days, going to gym 2x per week but then started having hip pain. I would’ve replaced hip but got Dx with PCa 6 months ago and so have postponed that. I’ve had HDR Brachy and

Some hopeful test news:🙏🏻
My son had a PSA of 20 just 3 mo after RRP last October 24th. Prior to that we had no idea from his test results that the PC was outside of the prostate. It had gone to his pelvic lymph nodes plus he’s tertiary five. He’s been on generic Zytiga and prednisone and Lupron and finished six weeks of IMRT

New to this: travel during ADT & post EBRT?
New to this group and the Dx took me by complete surprise. I'm 76 and in excellent health - or so I thought! - and now [i]this[/i] happens. PSA between 7 and 8 over the past year, wait and see. April PSA was 7.4 and DRE indicated a mass. MRI, biopsy followed, showing Gleason 4=3=7, Stage IIC. Did another
