On buserelin again
Hi girlies, so we’re on round 2 day 5 of down reg. I feel absolutely fine 🥳. When we started back in May the buserelin killed me, the first 5 days were awful and I had every side effect! This time nothing, just a bit hungrier than normal. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m not complaining one bit

PSA Starting to Rise.
After 2 years of Firmagon/bicalutamide monthly and 1 year of PSA below 0.01 (lowest they measure in St. Louis) I went off in April. PSA rose to 0.01 in June and is 0.04 now. Should I worry? History: PSA 172 (10/17); Surgery (05/18); Radiation (spring 2019); Chemo (Fall 2019). Oncologist said undetectable

Increasing Muscle Mass
Hello all! I am writing for my husband. I heard that working out can increase energy, but does it stop the muscle loss? He is taking Abiraterone (Zytiga generic). I am aware that testosterone can temporarily be increased by weight lifting.. Please, share if you have found success with certain supplements

To neuter, or not to neuter? That is the question. 😀
I am 58 and was diagnosed three years ago. I am currently still castrate sensitive and doing well. I have been on ADT injections (Zoladex) for 3 years with bicalutamide added for the last 6 months (PSA was rising very slowly and was approaching 1.0 in January). Current PSA is 0.08. Testosterone is

Testosterone and PSA drop and sore nipples
Prostatectomy Gleason 8, Lupron, and pelvic radiation. I am now off of Lupron and testosterone went up to 341 with a PSA of 0.014. Three months later the PSA rose to 0.025. I developed nipple soreness and started on tamoxifen. On my last test, the PSA dropped to 0.014 and the testosterone had dropped

Go for it!
I’ve been taking it for almost 8 months, best side effects is low testosterone and PSA! Are there others? Probably but is it Xtandi or any one of the other meds I take to fight this disease. Your life changes when fighting disease and it’s about winning while feeling the best you can mentally and physically

Help for Husband
Yesterday we got good news about Jim's monthly PSA as it is continuing to trend down. As we were talking, he was expressing about how his libido is gone and "nothing works", and a couple other things. I said that's what the castration process does. We'd already talked about these side effects..

Aging is Delayed in Castrated Males
https://elifesciences.org/articles/64932 The gist is that castrated males outlive both sexes. I would say this seems possible to me. Actually castration is the removal of testicles, but the effect of that is reduced testosterone. So ADT is similar to castration in that way, reduction of testosterone

Starting round 2 this cycle
So we had a chemical 2 weeks ago and our follow up was this past Wednesday. Dr asked when we wanted to go again and I asked if day 19 down reg of this cycle is possible and we were told yes 🥳🥳. Not much is changing on the protocol front as I responded as she would have expected. We’re adding testosterone

Advice on HRT
Hello😊 im looking for HRT advice, Im 48 and recently started on estradiol 1% the brand I'm on is Divigel, I'm a little confused as I asked for a body identical one and this is bio identical, I've been on Dr Louise Newsons page and she said body identical is the safest oestrogen but my doctor said that
