Do you that have had Orchiectomy still take ATD Medication?
I’ve been told that I will be on ATD meds for life, I’m 63 and have been taking Lupron and Zytiga for going on two years. I asked my MO about Orchiectomy and he said if I did it he would still recommend Lupron. Can you guys please share your thoughts and experiences? Thank you in advance

Orchiectomy
I have metastatic cp to the bone. I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current PSA is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also

Is HT Treatment necessary after Orchiectomey?
Its been a while since I sent you gentlemen an update. I did go for Keytruda, started it in March of 2022, but stopped in September because of pretty significant skin reaction. My PSA went from 3.31 in February 2022 to 0.09 3 months ago, so it definitely worked. In the meantime I have gone through with

Surgical Castration ?
I have been on Eligard for two months. Prior to starting ADT my Triglycerides were 100 (May 2023). After only two months of Eligard they are thru the roof (495). Since I have metastatic PC they tell me that I will be on ADT for life. I am considering surgical orchiectomy since there are fewer metabolic

Tired of education and self advocacy
I may show up wanting an
Orchidectomy
. I may challenge his Lupron Forever/no vacations approach. Again! I may even go back to advocating for some kind of more aggressive approach. I've got a couple months to prep myself. Again. But I'm getting less sure of myself and my info at each encounter.

I just don't know...
As some here know, at the beginning of the year I had irradiation of my neck and upper back (cervical spine and upper thoracic spine). It was awful and I ended up in the emergency department for 3 days while they got my throat open enough for me to swallow. Horrible not to be able to swallow well for
