Where is a good hospital to get provenge done? Some place that does it routinely?...
Hi Slapshot, This is Reg Dunlop. Just kidding. I am possibly entering a PSMA PET trial in LA and wanted to see if you think the salvage radiation extends life. I've been on intermittent Lupron for...
what does radiation colitis feel like and the effects of it are? I have been having some pain and burning in my stomach and some intestines for the past three months. I cant tell if its gastritis,...
Did you ever determine what caused this burning and blood? Are you still on this site?...
Cyclone - I've noticed from reading different men's accounts that maybe starting the zytiga very early on/at the beginning of Lupron usage, isn't necessarily the magic treatment. I've seen in several...
Thanks again to everyone who responded. I will now check out the info on "ZYTIGA: OUR COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCES." Have a great weekend to all! George...
Thanks to those of you who have responded so far. Questions for you: Old Sailor - what was your gleason and psa doubling time after your initial treatment in ~2009? Michael T - what dosage did you...
I'll try to keep this post short and simple: I'm trying to decide whether to push for/encourage an oncologist to add zytiga and prednisone to my Lupron. My situation is this: I'm 52 years old,...
Redwing57, did you start intermittent therapy or did the Lupron stop working by itself?...
Tall Allen, one bit of info that I couldn't fit on my signature is that the psma pet scans in 2016 reveal "hot spots" in my abdominal aorta lymph node and another area outside the prostate but...
thanks for all the replies. TallAllen, good point, I'll add my details now. George...
TallAllen, thanks for your comments about how most people started Zytiga or something else following the Lupron alone side of the STAMPEDE study. It does seem to me that adding the zytiga/pred now...
Thanks to you Allen and Todd, In response, I have a couple questions: 1. Are you saying, never stop the Lupron even during the Lupron only phase? aka Intermittant Lupron, which MD Anderson and Duke...
Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful and detailed replies. I agree with most of what was said. What I decided to do for now is eat the organic, cage free vegan fed egg whites only and discard the...
thanks TallAllen, I read the results of those studies you mentioned but I don't think they have compared taking Lupron zytiga and pred VS. doing Lupron first and then zytiga and pred added to the...
Have any Studies showing life extension using Lupron/ Zytiga/Pred combo as compared to doing Lupron only, until it stopped keeping PSA repressed (Lattitude study)? My question is: What about adding...
Sorry if this has been discussed already but I am curious what the latest science/studies say about dairy consumption and choline consumption and it's effects on existing prostate cancer. I've read...
What about this product? I don't know why its so expensive. It's either because it's expensive to add so many ingredietns or maybe it's just huge markup for desperate people....
Does anyone have thoughts on whether I should start up again on just Lupron following a Lupron holiday or add the Zytiga and Prednisone? My PSA is back up to about 10 after getting my last 3 month...
Thanks gentlemen, I appreciate all your thoughts. I do still have hot flashes but as mentioned, they don't bother me as bad when I'm exercising and eating healthy & light. I'm going to check my T...
I'm wondering if anyone has had an inconsistent release of the Lupron into their body/bloodstream. I'm wondering because I've been on Lupron for 11 months and rarely had erections at night while...
Thanks Allen, great information. George...
Thanks Domino, good information. I have read that study before that yielded 82%. I will contact them and see if I could make it happen. I don't have a lot of flexibility with my insurance. My current...
Good luck YK. You're going after it and got a good attitude. Keep eating healthy and getting a little exercise everyday as well and you'll stay healthier. George...
Thanks Andrew. I will consider the colonoscopy. Thats good information. YK, Thats interesting that you had RALP with high spa and gleason. I thought they usually do radiation and hormone therapy for...
Thanks Andrew, When you say bad bowel issues, does that mean pain in the rectum, or urgency to deficate, or something else? My doctor thinks the likelihood of that is very low because the IGRT is so...
Thanks Allen, I really appreciate the information. Anecdotal evidence - reading the prostatectomy forums on HW show some men who are very unhappy about their ED but I don't read nearly as much of...
Thanks Allen and Ed. I don't mind the longer treatment time. My situation is ok going in for that amount of treatments. Because my Gleason is so close to 4+4, my logic is that I might want to treat...
I am thinking about choosing an initial treatment of 25 sessions of IGRT followed by a LDR brachy seed implant boost. My PSA is currently 7.5, two out of 16 cores positive with gleason 4+3 (80% 4...
Thats good information Fauntleroy. I never thought about that. The ROs might be limited in Walter Reed for prostate specific radiation. Im going to have Davinci prostatectomy in four weeks, then I'll...
Thanks to everyone that has responded thus far. TallAllen, thanks especially to you for the very detailed answers. I have a few follow-up comments/questions for anyone interested in answering: -...
"InTheShop" - Sorry, I just edited my post. My PSA in April was 6.7....
I was recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and I've since met with four Radiation Oncologists (RO) and three surgeons but Im still undecided on what are the best options for me, either surgery or...
