PSA dropping, yet testosterone rising on Lupron/Zytiga??
I got my first
Lupron
shot on 5/25/20 and started the Zytiga on 7/3/20. I'm an original Gleason 8 PSA 50 with extracapsular extension. Now with 4 bone mets about 3 years after HDR Brachy, IMRT, and 8 months of ADT.

A question and a bit of a gripe!
Zoladex created more muscle loss than
Lupron
, though Zoladex worked better. After surgery we have to regroup. We didn't do the bone strengthening drugs luckily since my husband had a lot of dentistry done. It would have been a nightmare. Thanks...

New to this forum: SBRT or Brachy to minimize chance of ED?
I'm 73 years old, in good physical shape, and still sexually active (at least until the first
Lupron
shot 3 weeks ago). Reading some of the posts on this forum, I get the feeling that HDR brachytherapy has less chance than SBRT of causing ED, which I would very much like to avoid..

I Can Do an Oil Change
In other news, I completed chemo back in June, finished radiation in July, and continue on Atezolizumab,
Lupron
, Abiraterone, and Xgeva. I'm finally beginning to see glimpses of improving health as I recover from the chemo and radiation.

Urinary leakage before radiation
Hi everyone , I am in doubt if I should start radiation in November as I had my RP in March, currently on ADT,
Lupron
,Zytiga and still experience leakage (1.5, 2 pads a day) .I do a lot of Kegel but I am worried to go into IMRT and get worse or stay like this for good.

What are the odds for real
He had his first
Lupron
shot in may (PSA at that time 2.7) and as of today radiation #14/38 completed. He is doing
Lupron
every 3 months indefinitely.

BCR - what might be next ...
I had a very tough time with
Lupron
and the SEs drove me crazy – so that explains the decision making. My original DX (May 2017) – G9 / T3b / PSA 300+ / node positive (local spread) / NO distant metastasis / CTCs found via 3rd party testing – (circulating tumor cells).

Starting cosadex
He agreed to start casodex and feels I should get a long run with it along with
lupron
3 month. The bladder issue is an overactive bladder and taking meds for that but side effect is diarrhea, a real pain in the ass.

Will Lupron and Casodex affect a PSMA PET Scan?
My urologist wants to start me on bicalutamide and
Lupron
ASAP. My question is, will these drugs affect a PET scan?

What next??
ADT (
Lupron
and Erleada)has me at PSA of <.03. Confused about what’s next. MO says ride out ADT, urologist wants to remove prostate and bladder, RO wants to radiate all cancer areas. Any thoughts??

Xtandi Dosage
On
Lupron
since 10/19 and a 6 month stint cut short on Zytiga with very minor side effects. Now on Xtandi for 3 weeks and much more brain fog, lack of concentration, hot flashes, fatigue and emotional ups and downs. I noticed similar side effects previously but now seem much more pronounced.

Can A Person Take a Break From Lupron?
My dad is on
Lupron
and Xgeva. He hates the shots and I don't why he has to receive them along with Xtandi and numerous horrible side effects. Why do doctors make you get the shots every month?

Fast testosterone recovery after Zytiga mono-therapy.
I am back on
Lupron
with a reevaluation in 6 weeks. Hopefully I go back to undetectable although obviously uncured for now. If possible I'd like to stabilize with Zytiga twice per day because the side effects of Zytiga alone were pretty manageable.

Castrate resistant?
Does anybody know if you fail
Lupron
or ADT drug which I think their called. Does this mean you’re castrate resistant? If so does this make your cancer much more harder to treat and lessen your life expectancy?

Duration for Salvage Radioteraphy after RP
After RP PSA was 0.59 and ADT has begun (
Lupron
) 3 months ago. One of the RO recommend minimum 40 sessions IMRT (8 weeks for only workdays) the other recommend 25 session is enough.... Really confusing :( I do need your advice. Thanks.

Different ADT medicine ?
Instead of Fermagon or
Lupron
there is a drug that only stays in the system for a month instead of six months. This allows to go on vacation as drugs are out of the body. Just finished my fourth treatment at University of Heidelberg for AC-225 and LU-177. After only three weeks PSA is .2.
