hello! I’ve been on here for a few weeks reading everyone’s posts, which have been helpful.

So the odds we all read about... are they true?
When my husband (age 52) was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer two and a half years ago, he was told the outlook was "grim." Everything we read told us once it moves to the bone (his has) then you're looking at months, not years, of life left. He had TEMPUS done, which was basically the oncologist

Before I leave this wonderful group I'd like to pick your individual/collective brains. Since it's too late to help my husband, I'm looking for info that I can pass on to my son and 6 grandsons so they might better understand this awful cancer should they ever get it. I'm also providing a bit more info

Does urinary frequency/urgency diminish after cessation of ADT?
I’m on the last month of a one year course of Orgovyx/Nubeqa for 4+3, 4.7PSA (now .006), Decipher .88. Brachyboost with pelvic SBRT 8/23 at UCLA My bladder volume at baseline was 500-600 ml (even hit 700 once). But over the months it has steadily decreased to currently 200-300ml. 350 if I really torture

Has anyone heard of trial DB-1311-O-1001?
Hi all, I’m wondering whether anybody has heard of the above trial? My Dad had been put forward for this and was advised yesterday he got through onto the trial but the paperwork says “first trial on humans”. They aren’t sure of the side effects and we are all feeling a bit apprehensive… My Dad has

Death from other-than PCa is not a "success"
A tongue-in-cheek stated goal by many here with PCa (including myself for the past 17 years since dianosis) has been to live to die of "anything other" than prostate cancer. Of course that does not bear up to close scrutiny. Many alternative causes of death, including the "big 4" of Cardiovascular Disease

ADT Side Effects and Supplements.
Ok I just read some comments about Lupron and ADT side effects and felt I had to ask the members a question. Yesterday I saw my urologist for my 6 month routine follow up. He looked at my labs and commented on how good they were for a guy on adt for two years. When he got to my kidney function his comment

Zoladex injection
I began the zoladex injection in January of this year, I then had a laparoscopy in March which diagnosed my endometriosis. I had light bleeding for a couple of weeks after and then it completely stopped. Since then, I've had 2 episodes of heavy bleeding lasting 10 is days. No hormonal treatment has helped

Ped5i/Tadalafil etc as a benefit to SE of ADT?
Tadalafil , etc is prescribed for ED, BPH and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is pretty much agreed upon that Tadalafil increases insulin sensitivity thus improving lean body mass, particularly around the gut, improves Testosterone/estrogen relationship and is good for heart and vascular health

Vitamins with ADT?
Hi Tall_Allen, You do not recommend vitamins when on ADT? I am on daily Casodex, has been for several years, and I am taking - Multivitamins, C-, D-, K- vitamins and magnesium daily. Should I stop this? Can you elaborate a bit on why you do not recommend taking vitamins? Thanks in advance!

Disgusted with Healthcare
I had to request my PCP to do a PSA as it wasn't standard practice. I had to call the urologist, who I originally saw, after I joined this board and knew I should be starting ADT, even though they hadn't two months after my scans showed Stage IV. I saw the surgeon even though it was Stage IV and wasn't

Low Testosterone Linked With Mortality Risk in Aging Men - by Jeff Minerd , Contributing Writer, MedPage Today May 13, 2024
No way to know if this is applicable to those on ADT, but it would seem to be relevant for consideration. The highlighted portion is a useful guide on male sex hormone targets for those testing them. These results might also add support for Morgentaler's [i]"Saturation Model"[/i] for testosterone. Full
