To HBP.
Your treatment with Erleada and ADT was stopped at 13 mos.
Could you share the reason your treatment was discontinued .
I have been on Lupron for 15 mos and Zytiga for 11 mos. The treatment plan is for another year.. I feel like crap
I am 76 with G-7+, PSA Hit 80+, pelvic Lymph nodes involved.
Thanks for any input.
Jim

Spryguy. Lupron and Erleada were stopped 13 months on me as I was in a Jansen clinical trial and that was part of the trials procedure. I did not have terrible side effects but I had manageable-side effects. I suspect that I will be back on these meds if and when my PSA increases. The meds were good for me
Yes, Lupron is a bitch. I’ve been on for a little over five years and also take a Zytiga with prednisone. It has kept me alive so I have learned to live with all its side effects and I think I’ve had most of them. After five years, my PSA has finally started to rise slowly took eight months to get from undetectable to .5 did a PSMAA scan had 2 small optics one in my scapula one and a rib radiologist said too small to radiate so I’m waiting to see if they grow. They are keeping me on ADT bc they are not sure if I am really castrate resistant. So maybe ADH is still working.

Jim:
Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF.org) webinar replays: Jan 17, 2023, Rising PSA 2 part video/transcript; I found interesting and helpful.
Recent July 18, 2023 program on ADT. I missed it and am waiting for replay to post in a week or so.
Take away: Some patients are appropriate for intermittent ADT; possible protocol for you??
Best wishes.
