Calling all BAT-men ...
First question: having received my
Eligard
shot yesterday (Jan 19), and discontinued abi, what would be a reasonable date to get my first dose of high-T? My MO thinks it should be a full four weeks from 1/19, but wouldn't a full month from 1/6 make sense, too?

Substitute Eplerenone for Prednisone with Zytiga?
I am taking
Eligard
+ Zytiga + Prednisone (5mg). I would like to stop the prednisone and substitute eplerenone (Inspra), if that is viable. I found this exchange from earlier this year from Gearhead, with comments from Tango65 and T_A, among others.

About to end 1chaoter in this Journey and enter into a new Chapter
Today, I go to see my urologist, have the usual lab test done and then receive my last injection of
Eligard
. It’s been 2 1/2 years of getting this medication. Now I will be coming off it and we will just have to see what happens over the next six months to a year or longer.

Starting Docutaxel chemo treatments this week
He was started on
Eligard
shots in February. They planned to start radiation in June after a second round of
Eligard
was going, but scans then showed mets in hip bone and lymph glands in groin. They said no to radiation and instead started him on Zytiga in June.

Eligard v Lupron
I had a three month
Eligard
injection three months ago and experienced "mild" side effects. My next injection a week ago was a three month Lupron shot. I feel that the side effects are much more pronounced. A few days ago I passed out after getting out of my hot tub.

Sildenafil for ADT side effect?
I have had total ED since my first 3 month
Eligard
injection on August 11. I had my second injection today, Nov. 3. My Medical Oncologist is a DO and thinks I may be on ADT for a total of 18 months. I may start 28 sessions of EBRT soon. I'm worried about penile atrophy.

Two Questions: 1) Zytiga and Liver; 2) Minor Pains
First
Eligard
shot. PSA rise to 36-ish. July: advised of mets in two lymph node areas and five bone areas. Began 1000mg Zytiga the same day. After Zytiga (1000mg a day) began my PSA dropped to 0.3, then 0.1. (I haven't had my second
Eligard
shot yet.) So here's the first question...

Low PSA, high metastasis, ready for chemo+
I was with another doc until last week who advised
Eligard
, plus Nubeqa and then Taxotere…the standard “triple therapy”but I didn’t feel he was throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at my disease which I think is warranted.

My Cousin John Is Gone
My PSA went down for a while, but it came roaring back in 2019, at which time I received six sessions of docetaxel chemo followed up by monthly or quarterly shots of
Eligard
and then Firmagon, later being switched to once-daily Orgovyx.

Anemia
Five weeks of proton radiation and six months of
Eligard
. PSA is undetectable. New blood work shows I am now anemic. Have others experienced Anemia and what was the plan for treatment? Seeing Oncologist tomorrow?

Biopsy results back finally and first step of treatment.
After 4-5 months of this he will likely switch to a longer acting agent such as
Eligard
to decrease the frequency of his visits All this testing and hormone shots have been done with a urologist. He will now be meeting his oncologist and radiologist for the first time next week.

Prolia
On ADT (
Eligard
and abirterone with predisone) since June 2022. Went for a second opinion this week with a medical oncologist who specializes in prostate cancer. He stressed the need for me to start on Prolia as soon as possible.
