Editor’s pick: “Do no harm” – does that also mean waiting to start HT? Good debate ensues! (rd)
Topics Discussed:
All good with The General; TP53 and radiation; best combos with which to start HT on recurrence; pre-treatment PSMA reveals Nx and changes treatment decision; stopping Orgovyx after 13 months may prove a good move; switching to 3 mo. from 6 mo. LHRH Depot; weight gain on LHRH; spot too close to bladder for safe RT – stick with HT alone; more rowers than just ardee; our mountain climber’s doing very well and happy with his GU MO; slow albeit steady climb in PSA shows no source – intervene with HT or wait?; starting HT on Lupron and testicular pain – any connection?
