PSA rising and does not want to go on lupron
I've read some of the answers to your situation and I think that by by casadex would be your best option and depending on how fast his PSA is rising if he doesn't want to go on
lupron
you have firmagon which is a monthly thing so once you get it you if it doesn't agree with you it'll be out of your system

Estrogen Patch ADT
Lupron
reduces testosterone below 20 in about 50%-60% of men. If you are doing ADT then the goal is to reduce testosterone to zero. There are government studies that show that sub 20 is far superior to sub 50 (the supposed "castrate" level). https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/results/NCT03035032?

Skelton brittleness from Lupron
I have been on
Lupron
for about 16 months. About 7 weeks ago I had a fall on to a hard floor. I landed on my hand. In doing so I twisted my body but didn’t land on body but broke my fall with my hand. I had a X-ray which showed I had crushed my vertebrae. My GP put me on pain killers.

What kind timeline are we looking at?
He would like to still pursue treatment today but wanted to review scans at next visit and based on results, pursue just
lupron
alone. He does not wish to continue with chemotherapy after today.

Cialis or viagra
I have been on
lupron
and xtandi since April 2021… I was sexually active before diagnosis of stage four advanced…even though I can still get erections adt has put a downer on my sex life… Does Viagra or Cialis help in this department and does it cause any unwanted side effects…

Interesting Numbers
Those that followed me - metastatic at 57, chemotherapy and hormone therapy clinical trial, stopping
Lupron
/Eligard in February 2010, and starting dose testosterone replacement on Androgel in 2011.

PSA 1.34 - Testosterone <7 ng/dl
My urologist indulged me and gave me the requested tests, numbers look good for 60 days on Eligard (
Lupron
). I have been concerned that
Lupron
is not working as I am still having sex 3-4 times /week. Does it say <7 because testosterone test is not sensitive to amounts below 7?

Extreme pain in penis
I had a
Lupron
shot and began Casodex in early November, then switched from Casodex to Zytiga a week later. A couple of times (days apart) before the treatments began, I had a burning pain in the inside tip of my penis that lasted about 3-5 minutes then went away.

I'm new here, unfortunately. :)
I immediately was started on Casodex until insurance could clear
Lupron
and Zytiga. One week on Casodex seemed to have dramatic improvement in urinary control and reduction in pain in perineum. Doctor doesn't think Casodex would act that fast.

An Enigma
The issue that I face is a high PSA(146) after
Lupron
, Casodex, Zytiga and Chemo ( Taxotere). I still receive an injection of Trelstar every 3 months and am currently taking the chemo drug Lynparza.

Lupron shot timing
Urologist persistently delays my shot for 20-30 days past the 90 day mark. ( getting 3 mo shot ) Oncologist refuses to get involved. Any opinions or similar experiences ? I am nearing 3 year mark of Gleason 9, stage 4. Doing very well so far with undetect PSA and tolerable side effects. 79 yo, otherwise

Help with doctors and getting to a plan
She started me on Casodex and wants to give me a
Lupron
shot this week. She also wants me to meet with Dr Tewari and Bobby Liaw of MT Sinai. Additionally she will bring in Dr Shasha of MSK as an RO. Does anyone know of Dr Cheetham, this will be very helpful.

PSA Still Climbing - Scans Almost Stable
I have been on
Lupron
/Eligard for 3 years. One year ago, I began five sessions of Docetaxel that ended in May. My PSA dropped from 15.5 to O.56. My PSA continued to drop to as low as 0.12.

PC History
PET scan revealed two lesions in my seminal vesicles so I went on
Lupron
for six months then at four-month mark, hit it with 35 Proton treatments. A few months later when
Lupron
wore off, and testosterone rose, PSA crept up immediately.

Potential Orgovyx Side Effect
I have been on Orgovyx for almost 3 months and having been on
Lupron
for several years, I am very familiar with what side effects I can expect. I have experienced something that has cropped since I started Orgovyx and am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

How common is Nocturia with PCa?
Is this caused by PCa, Abiraterone,
Lupron
or it is a post Radiation side effect? Also does it get better, any treatment advice that might help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much.

Timing of Radiation treatment after starting ADT
From the few studies I have seen the sweet spot ( for maximum shrinkage of the prostate) seems to be 12 to 24 weeks after starting on ADT ( I am on
Lupron
and Zytiga). I want to hit the cancer with radiation when it is at it's weakest.
