Hi everyone,
update on my case:
After 40 days on Bicalutamid 50mg, i was scheduled to get my first shot of Lupron (Trenantone 11,25mg 3-month depot). The day before the shot (01 Oct 2025), I got my PSA checked.
For those of you new to the trend, my initial PSA (mid August) was 180. Now it came back 33.
I did change my diet drastically (no red meat, no dairy, no sugars, no coffee). Introduced a lot of veggies (mostly consumed raw). I am drinking soy, almond, or oat milk. I have experienced a lot with various forms of tofu. I also found a bunch of vegan dairy alternatives. One of them was an imitation feta cheese, that i had to read the ingredient several times because I could not believe it was made of vegetables (contained cocos milk). I could not make the difference between it and the real feta.
Now two weeks after the shot, I am not seeing any side effects.
I am working out daily, using one of those free at-home work-out apps. It gives me each day a routine of 20 minutes, and even if I am in a pretty good shape, I still break out a sweat. I also walk on average 12000 steps per day.
My PSA will be checked monthly and if it drops significantly after the first 3 months, I will go get RARP.
Psychologically, I am doing great, and i am actually looking forward to surgery.
The idea is to just go about with my normal life (work and family) and not really bother too much with the PCa.
That is all for now. I will follow up next month when I will have my PSA checked again or if I start to deal with any side effects.
To all, stay positive and trust the science.
@dinu Sounds like a good plan! I’m down the road a bit and first radiation Nov 3.
