Cancer and IVF
Luckily it was stage 1, he had a
orchidectomy
and a round of chemo in January 2018. We have been told that after receiving chemotherapy we are unable to have children naturally and IVF/ICSI is our only option.

Benefit of statin and metformin in the treatment of high risk CRPC
Hi everyone I have seen that many posts in this forum indicate that the addition of statin and metformin in the treatment of prostate cancer will be beneficial during hormone therapy. In my case I am on second line hormone therapy (Aberaterone + Prednisone ) for the past one year. I have undergone orchiectomy

ADT & thromboembolic events.
New meta-analysis below. "Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) was found significantly associated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists alone (HR = 1.47 ...), GnRH agonists plus oral antiandrogen (AA) (HR = 2.55 ...), and AA alone (HR = 1.49 ...), but not with orchiectomy (HR = 1.80 ...). "In

Stopping Xtandi perhaps temporarily due to dementia
My husband started Xtandi 2/3/18 and his cognitive decline may be coincidental to It. MO thought it best to hold off use of it to see if there is improvement. This MO who we highly respect prefers to use Zytiga anyway and may start hubby on that when we see him in 30 days. The MO feels the disease

Sudden onset incontinence...any ideas?
My husband has been mostly continent in the 17 years since Rp. We are traveling on an extended medical holiday and he is suddenly needing diapers due to daytime dribbles. He has started a new medication Aricept for dementia but that side effect is not listed. We told the MO and his office ran a urinalysis

Is Taking Casodex and Xtandi ok?
Husband started on Xtandi 2/3/18. He had orchiectomy but hid testosterone isn’t as low as the urologist would like so he suggested to add Casodex. I did a quick search and found no contraindications but wanted to check with the experts here. Thanks

Any benefit from metformin is proved
Dx 2015 APC with iliac lymph node involvement. Had RT, on lupron for 20 months, turned to CRPC seven months ago. Now on zytiga and Prednisone (5mg) for the last seven months. Had orchiectomy two months back. With zytiga, practically no side effects. I use to read all the posts in this forum for the last

Husband’s Unexpected diagnosis
My husband was diagnosed with stage IV 3 weeks ago. He was undergoing an MRI for what he thought was a ruptured disc. The “disc material” the doctor believed was impinging a nerve in his back turned our to be a tumor. PSA score of nearly 1,000 confirmed PC. He's 50, he chose to undergo the orchiectomy

Lupron versus Orchiectomy
Hello fellow travelers. I am 78 years old and dx in 2001 with PSA of 8. Don’t remember my Gleason score. Had external beam radiation that failed and have been on Lupron for about 15 years. My question to those who have opted for Ochiectomy, what is the advantages and would you do it again. Thanks

On Xtandi since 2/3/18 PSA holding
It was not the greatest doc visit today. First an hour behind.. Then got a PA not the MO. Then got PSA results the same 11.79 as a month earlier. I would say Xtandi is not working but she said as long as PSA isn’t rising they consider it successful. Is that true? This is a new to us MO office

Is Orchidectomy right for me?
I am considering surgical castration as an option to chemical treatment for PCa. I have been taking Lupron/Zytiga + prednisone for nearly a year. The results have been excellent--PSA undetectable--and I have grown used to the side effects, which, in my case, have not been unendurable. Still, I wonder

Visit to MD Anderson, Houston, if you want to consider a second opinion.

PSA down after 3 weeks of Xtandi
Husband’s PSA down from 14.6 on 1/4/18 to 11.82 2/26/18. I counted over the past 17 years we have celebrated downward direction changes 7 times and I have recorded 56 PSA readings. He also received a 30 day Lupron to cover him until orchiectomy on 3/22. Remarkably he has no side effects except hot
