You’ve been on Firmagon2 months, after three or four months, it should bring you the way below 6.7. If it doesn’t, then you probably have a pretty aggressive cancer that your brachytherapy will hopefully disintegrate.

Since Cribriform is in your prostate itself, it will be destroyed along with the rest of the tissue.

If I were you, I would ask to get off Firmagon immediately, It is the most annoying way to get ADT. You can get a Lupron shot that’ll last three or six months and won’t have the issues with your stomach that Firmagon causes. Even better would be to get the Orgovyx pill, which you take daily?

Have they given you a PSMA pet scan? That really is essential to find out if you have prostate cancer anywhere else in your body. If you do, that is as important to address as your prostate.

I did have a PSMA scan that didn’t detect any metastasis. At least not observable. It’s the cribriform shit that worries me most. Had a CT as well as a bone scan, but was wondering why bother with those anyway? I don’t mind the monthly injection regimen. I hear it’s also “gentler” on one’s cardio system, and since I had CABG 12!years ago… why invite that back?
