Using transdermal E2
Ronron's posts about using E2 instead of ADT have been interesting. Who else has used? If so: 1. Has anyone switched from using Lupron (or any 1st or 2nd level ADT, such as Firmagon, abiraterone, etc.) directly to transdermal E2? 2. Has anyone who has used it eventually become castrate resistant

I started on lupron 03/21. When i started my psa was 46.5 after 3 months it went to 0.02. I've also been on bicalumide 50mg daily. Today lab work and going for lupron #7 my psa was 1.70. My OC took me off bicalumide and wants me back in 6 weeks for lab. If psa is down we are good if not it's CT and BONE

need help!
My dad has been on zometa and Lupron and his PSA has been undetectable. He got a new doctor and they want to take him off the zometa and put him on prolia. Why would they do it? I have read awful things about prolia! update: my dad is stage IV, mets everywhere. No pain, no issues so far BUT this new

Gleason 6 but Metastatic
Dx in June 2022. Biopsy sampled 11 cores, with one coming back at 5% 3+3 and Gleason 6. But because PSA was 20.5, was eligible for PET PSMA scan, which showed avidity in bones, so now M1B. Have started ADT - lupron + darolutamide (arasec trial, open label). My question for the group is - what

Surgical Option . Each option has no guarantees
I was diagnosed with aggressive PC in Oct 2014. My urologist said his uncles used the seeds. My decision was to have the surgery in January 2005. I went to Dr Patel in Orlando Fl as he had performed over 7000 of these. My experience was excellent , however 3 months later PSA was detected and began

PET PSMA scan and low PSA and Lurpon
Will a PET PSMA scan still essentially function as well to find out where PC lesions exist if one's PSA is low say <1, because of Lupron? Lets say the PSA without Lupron might be a 10, (also no prostatectomy was ever performed.) My radiologist wants me to get the scan so I can then get set up for

Transdermal E2 Gel (tE2) As An Alternative To Lupron
Many of you have been asking if the tE2 gel that I've been using for four and a half years now will help eliminate hot flashes/flushes and the all too common side effects of Lupon injections? I thought that I answered those questions in my many trimonthly blood test results. When everything else failed

My Hair Grew Back!
On Lupron, and after 3 months, the hair on my head started to grow and fill in! Radiation Nurse says strange hair things happen now and then, like hair of a different color. He says it does not necessarily revert back. I am happy about the hair growth!

Pain in side
About five months after beginning Lupron, Zytiga, and Prednisone, I began having pain in my right side. I've been to my oncologist, GP, and a surgeon. All have run blood work, CT scan, MRI, bone scan, and Xrays. Thought it might be a hernia, but not. It can get pretty severe at times, but does come

Hey Lupron, where's my side effects?
Hello everyone, I got my first Lupron shot about 9 weeks back. When I saw my Onc at 7 weeks I told him that I could not clearly identify any side effects. He wasn't surprised, but I sure am! He did say that I would have noticed by then, but I'm wondering if the bomb has yet to drop

paxlovid and lupron
just tested positive Covid. My doc has raised some question about coronary issues interacting with the two drugs. She’s researching. Anybody have any anecdotal experience or better yet, real science. I’m on 6 month lupron, abiraterone 1000 mg and 5 mg prednisone.

Genetic testing recommendations
Just diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer (M1B) and have started ADT: lupron + darolutamide (more details in profile). Looking for recommendations to insure I have the best genetic information available. Tumor was submitted for Decipher testing which came back as low risk (0.24). Submitted
