I am currently challenged with stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. I was put on this therapy as well as 20 radiation treatments. I was to have the Lupron shot every 6 months. I found the side effects to be terrible as it robbed me of quality of life. I refused the ADT therapy after the first treatment. I'd rather die than do that again. Unfortunately, here in Canada the standard of care for prostate cancer offers only this treatment. I'm now pursuing a metabolic therapy regimen and I feel much better. Quality over quantity is the choice I've made. I was told on day one that there was no treatment that would save me. So I figured why diminish the value of the time I have left?

So sorry for your diagnosis. I have a friend who feels the same way about ADT. He said he is feeling suicidal. Wishing you the best going forward!

What side effects from the Lupron did you experience?

@randywilloughby6360 Жыл бұрын

I’m in the same boat as you, regarding my prognosis. I am choosing to decline ADT and/or radiation, and am opting for palliative care to manage pain/symptoms. Best wishes to you; I hope you have a good support system in your family and friends. ❤️

@@truthseeker1959After the Lupron shot I became physically feeble and had to use a cane when walking. It caused arthritis throughout my body as well as emotional imbalance that I had to watch out for. It also acted as a depressant and that added to the overall struggle with the stuff. It made me feel miserable. I was so glad to get off the stuff but it took almost another 6 months to clear away the side effects.

That is absurd, no scientific explanation why depriving the body of testosterone? If testosterone is the blame of prostate cancer then why aren't teenagers suffering prostate cancer? Who are at risk of prostate cancer? Men over 50 years old when the testosterone levels are the lowest, older man have a testosterone deficiency, it is estrogen what causes tumors, don't always trust big pharma's treatments

I did one ADT shot and then stopped. I would rather be dead than EVER have that *#$&* in my body again. It gave me irregular heartbeats and suicidal depression.

Correction.... Eligard is available as a 6 month shot that is not intramuscular, but subcutaneous. Please inform patients that the side effects of ADT (Chemical castration) can totally destroy their quality of life, and in older men, there is a 20% chance that they will NEVER RECOVER ABOVE CASTRATE LEVEL, in other words, this toxic ADT injection may result in permanent CASTRATION. That's something the NARCO MEDICO CARTEL will never tell you. BEWARE OF THE SALES PROPAGANDA

most of the bad side effects of ADT are due to the loss of estrogen rather than the reduction of testosterone. Much of our bodies actually run on estrogen (brain, muscles, heart, bones) and by reducing testosterone one also reduces the available estrogen (since in males estrogen is derived from testosterone ). I have been on ADT for 3 years and feel better than ever (my PSA is

Prostate cancer is different from the majority of cancers as hormones play a huge role in its development. Much less true of most other cancers. Prostate enlargement, male pattern baldness, and prostate cancer all have strong links to the male sex hormones and especially the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

It isn't that simple. There is a huge environmental and race component as well. Why do men living in Asia have a very low incidence compared to those in Western nations? Why do African Americans have a higher incidence? There is much we don't know about this disease which is why the treatments suck.

Stage 4 metastatic to most bones diagnosed march 4 2023 had 10 radiation treatment on tumor on my spine . Started casadex for a month and then started quarterly lupron and getting ready to start Xtandi. Does this seem like the right path the fatigue and weakness is constant.

Hello, my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in Feb.2022. His urologist used the da Vinci robotic arm to remove the prostate in April 2022 and in June we saw an oncologist who determined the cancer had spread to his pelvis and a rib (PSA was 22). She started him on Lupron (shot every 3 months) and sent him to a radiologist oncologist who sent him in for a PSMA pet scan. The scan showed he had oligometastatic cancer, 3 spots in pelvis and one on rib. He had 3 sessions of SBRT radiation on the one pelvic area that had a fracture. In August 2022, his PSA was undetectable. In November 2022, his oncologist added Xtandi to his treatment. Today, June 2023, his PSA continues to be 0.014, considered undetectable. Please know that there is hope. Your treatment sounds similar to my husbands. Sending prayers your way; stay positive!🙏🏼

I had 39 radiation treatments and on Lupron. I got to ring the bell. ( Patients who are considered to be cured get to ring a bell ) I had Gleason 9 grade 5. It was caught before it spread. Either I was very lucky or God was looking out for me. My radiation oncologist did his residency at the Mayo Clinic.

@@jamespmullin21753 Ringing the bell is done by all patients upon completion of therapy. There is no such thing as being cured from cancer. Rather, we refer to you being in remission. I hope you remain in remission, but cancer is a tricky thing. I don't mean to discourage you, I just want you to be vigilant and take care of yourself.
