Is Bicalutamide the right treatment and when is a PET Scan required
Firstly based on whatever I have read on this group site I have largely understood that for advanced cases its best to combine Abiraterone and Prednisone with
Lupron
/Zoldex initially for long term benefit. My doctor, a Radiation Oncologist insists that Bicalutamide is fine for me presently.

Post SABR (SBRT) side effects
My father underwent 5 rounds of SABR alongside a 4-month injection of
Lupron
. He finished his last radiation treatment on Feb 18th. The last three days he has been experiencing a lot of gas and diarrhea. I messaged the radiation oncologist and he suggested Imodium and the BRAT diet.

What should I do next?
I started Casodex immediately, replaced that with 4 month
Lupron
injections a month later and added Apalutamide a month later. The combination worked well and brought my PSA down to 0.014. My CT scan did not indicate that I was metastatic.

Zytiga failure after cassodex failure?
I had chemo,
lupron
, and cassodex, until PSA suddenly spiked last year. I understood it to mean cassodex was having reverse effect. After scans showed tumors growing in prostate, started on Zytiga, with
lupron
.

Eligard Lump on Abdomen Remains Long after Injection
I was told both of the times when Eligard was used that it was due to a nationwide
Lupron
shortage, hence the use of Eligard. Both of my
Lupron
injections were in the upper rear and both Eligard injections were in the abdomen.

Lupron half life/ ED
Now my psa is undetectable but I have severe ed and typical shrinkage my question is how long is the
lupron
going to affect me and will I come "back" as it were. I bought some dhea with horn goat weed and yohimbe. Will that jeopardize my recovery?

Additional PC treatment
While it is a good thing my PSA is at a such low level and constant, I don’t want to play “ Russian Roulette” with cancer, so I have elected to start 40 sessions of radiation and
lupron
injections. My urination has returned to no leakage so that should help with radiation side effects.

Xgeva
My dad is on
lupron
and Zytiga ( prednisone) and now Xgeva which I guess is a monthly shot - is it normal to have to get blood work monthly before the Xgeva and is that ever able to be given every few months rather than monthly ? Thank you!

Another ADT formula ?
Up to last time it was
Lupron
. Last injection was end of Nov and I complained about side effects - especially fatigue, leg weakness and especially the hot flashes. They switched formula to TREISTAR (triplorelin).

Estrogen therapy rediscovered
When
Lupron
was approved, estrogen therapy was therefore replaced by hormone therapy with
Lupron
. However, menopausal women treat hot flashes and bone loss with estrogens, knowing this has cardiovascular risks. Therefore estrogen patches and estrogen gels have been developed.

35 month tE2 update
When my accomplished, senior urologist at Loyola wanted to put me on
Lupron
and I refused, he then suggested that perhaps I could find DES in Southeast Asia since it 'was' a very effective ADT hormone prior to 1985 when it was replaced by Leuproelin injections.

Do the lumps from Firmagon ever go away?
I had Firmagon May 2018 and
Lupron
since. One side is small and hard but the other is larger and softer. Has anyone experienced this?

Anything in addition to ADT and Enzalutamide
I am currently on 3-month
Lupron
injections and 4 daily Enzalutamide tablets a day. My PSA has reduced to 0.14, as of this last week's blood tests, which is good news. I'm also prescribed Apixaban for the Deep Vein Thrombosis.

Another Xtandi question -- Vacation time?
Before xtandi I was on
Lupron
and it was still working, not sure why he put me on Xtandi. Questions: My back is really sore and pelvic joints are too.... Normal? I would love to get some energy back and would take the risk - T levels are so very low... Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks...
