Intermittent Hormone Therapy (IHT): How is it working for you?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 12 hours ago | Replies (31)Comment receiving replies
My PSMA showed probable cancer in the prostate (which was heavily radiated 4 years ago) but that it has not metastasized anywhere else. My urologist thinks this is great news! All I have to do now is take Lupron for the rest of my life, and I'll live happily ever after.
Hmmm. I suppose I should be thankful. Anyway, I just got my injection, so now I have some time to think about other options.

Hey Bluegill, sorry about your situation. My friend was recently treated at Sloan, here on Long Island, NY. He had 5 sessions of SBRT (cyberknife type) and the RO said that if it ever failed he could still do seeds. Since your cancer is still inside the gland, might that be an option for you?

What makes you think you be on Hormone therapy continuously even if your PSA goes down to undetectable level? I am surprised your oncologist didn't switch you to Orgovyx?
