Aphenul nailed it. If you want a direct answer - ask the nurse. I did the eight sessions of chemo. I really did not feel fatigue, weak, etc. till about 4 or 5 days after infusion. One problem I did...

Cyclone- good to hear Zoladex is working out. Just a little hesitant about changing. It's primarily the se's I am trying to avoid. Good to hear the light is on, and thank you for the kind words. Bill...
Sounds like it may be worth a try. I will have to get a little more input from onc. She was just a little vague and just said different med same results. Just don't like some of the side effects of...
Jack, Yes, I would be switching from Lupron. I suppose if I do give the Orgovyx a try and not happy with It I can go back to Lupron. I like the idea of absence of brain fog/cognitive decline. If...
Mattman, My bad. Yes, I am on Lupron. Just wasn't thinking. The meds have kind of messed up my brain functions (what's left of them). I don't know how Orgovyx affects ones cognitive ability....
I started as a Gleason 9. Had robotic surgery, five years later chemo, and on Abiraterone for past five years, PSA remains steady at .02 for past five years. I was wondering if anyone has changed...

Current age 78. Age at dx 67. What concerns me is ageism and people taking advantage of folks they perceive as old and somewhat senile. Such as padding your restaurant bill, adding charges on...

Many years ago I made frequent trips to Harrisburg, Pa. I always took the short cut through Cook's Forest. In the forest was a small restaurant that catered to locals as well as visitors to the area....
As Cyclone said - over the years one develops a rapport with health care team. Not long ago I spent 4 months between hospitals and rehab with pneumonia, COPD, and flu. This was during the pandemic...
No tenderness or sore spots. Oh well things could be worse....
Roblee, Grab up that grandson and look into his eyes and form that bond. It sure helped me to cope with my issues. Mr. Bill...
My wife suffers severe migraines. She went to our local pc with a bad headache. Who, according to my wife, is a real flirt. When she came out she told me that he said "you are only here looking for...
Thanks for all the input my friends. At one time I did not look too bad in a tee shirt. But I would not even consider one nowadays. Much like Trailguy and others I don't really care how others may...

The well known superstition that strange things may happen as the full moon exerts a pull on folks or even a higher ocean tide is, in all probability, a well founded one. The same as unlucky number...
As one who dealt with "creatures of the night" for 30 years, i can tell you the night of the full moon was very busy....
Mattman was on the money. Anybody uses a member of my family, be it wife or daughters, to better their performance better brace themselves. What happened to rock was nothing. The bs about turn the...
