Post-Docetaxel: Holding Steady
DX 2014: GL9, 3.32 (high Gleason, low PSA; PSA not always a good indicator) Cue the trumpets: Two weeks after my 76-year old husband completed 10 Docetaxel infusions, his bone and CT scans show that his mets remain stable. They have now been stable since October, 2019 when he started the chemo slog

Next Step - Rising PSA
Good morning: I have a question for all you warriors. I was diagnosed with the Beast in 2002 - 4 + 4 - had rp and rt in 2003. Psa has stayed low for 12 years and finally started rising above 4.0. My MO recommended Cassodex only in 2014 and that kept psa below 2.0 for 3 years - bone mets showed up

Lupron, aricept, estradiol?
Are folks combining an acetylcholinesterase with ADT (Lupron)? Is this being combined with transdermal or cream estradiol?

PSA way down and nothing visible on the CT scan, where do I go from here?
Hi all, posting to get some advice from this very knowledgeable community, again ;) and share some good news. I was diagnosed with stage IV APC in Sept 2019 with extensive spread to the lymph nodes. I have been on Lupron, Zythiga, and Prednisone since then. From Oct 2019, my PSA has gone from 42 to less

However it is not yet approved for use even though the clinical trial suggests it is a much better alternative. I would very much like to try it because it would be a good way to

Tingle toes
I take Lupron, Zytiga, Prednisone in standard doses. When I first started taking it last year, I noticed a very slight tingling in the top half of my middle two toes in the morning but it seemed to disappear once I got underway for the day... Now, a year later taking same doses of Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone

Bipolar Androgen Therapy in Prostate Cancer.
New review from Italy, below [1]. I can't readily access the review itself, but I liked that the authors explain the rationale for BAT more clearly than I may have done in the past: "New-generation hormone therapies improved overall survival in castration-resistant prostate cancer. More recent trials

Tele-health appointment with MO
I had my first tele-health appointment with my MO. It looks like my vacation from Lupron will continue for at least another 3 months. He would recommend getting back on Lupron if my PSA keeps rising after my Testosterone reaches normal level.
