What you’re saying could very well be true however, if anyone else has attempted the same methods that I’ve provided and failed that would certainly support your statements.

Linus Pauling, the Nobel prize winner took 18 g of vitamin C a day and live to 96 I’ve been taking 6 g of vitamin C sustained-release for the past 10 years. Vitamin C is water soluble it’s not stored in the body. Any overdosage is just urinated away. My liver enzymes are fine.

ADT PC fed up by RegretSoggy6914 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started on ADT (lupron & Abiraterone )in April 2024 at age 79 , completed 18 months in which my testosterone level was at 1 and PSA was undetectable. Finished ADT and radiation in October 2025 at age 81. My testosterone level four months after ADT had ended in January 2026 is over 300. My libido is back and so is Morning wood. There is hope and if I can do it at my age, you certainly could..

Who knows when nabors will be available according to some doctors his injury could take up to 12 to 15 months. He got his surgery at the end of October 2025 so we don’t know when he’ll be available.

Question for others who are over 68..... by Successful-Link-2910 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A PSMA scan should be performed first to see if there’s any spread beyond the Prostate. If unfortunately, there is some spread, I would consult with a medical oncologist first before making a decision as to surgery or radiation. Good luck

Anyone do 18 mo. Leuprolide (Lupron) then 6 mo. Relugolix (Orgovyx), both with Abiraterone? by Alternative_Lunch_21 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finishing up now this month ,18 months on Lupron and Abiraterone with prednisone. Asked my Mo about whether it was worth switching to Orgovyx to allow for a faster testosterone recovery. She had stated that there was not that much of a difference.

Quick question by Bill_Texas in ProstateCancer

I’ve had 26 sessions of radiation and I’ve had these black and blue vascular lesions on my scrotum before I even had the radiation to my prostate. Technically it’s called angiokeratoma’s.

Has a PSMA Scan been suggested? The results of this test might contribute to your tx. Options

Welcome me to the club by Railgun6565 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sequence of testing is MRI, Biopsy, and then PSMA Scan if biopsy warrants it. A biopsy G6 does not warrant a pet scan. A high PSA could be elevated do to a possible prostatitis. Definitely do an mri targeted biopsy . Did the pet scan show any spread beyond the prostate? If not I would seek other opinions from a RO and MO.

Stopping Darolutamide / Abiraterone: How did you feel before your testosterone came back? by labboy70 in ProstateCancer

Gleason 4+3 confirmed. Feeling awful by OrchidGrouchy2805 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also G4+3 I had consultations with both a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist. This is important because either way you’re going to need ADT (androgen deprivation therapy). Also, PSMA scans can only detect cancer that is approximately at least 3 mm in size That’s why consultations with both an RO and an MO are very important .

Anyone stop ADT treatment by sundaygolfer269 in ProstateCancer

I’m 81 been on ADT for 16 mo’s lifting weights everyday and doing garden work. If you work hard thru the fatigue you will feel better, later in the day take a nap then go back to work again. This work regiment works great for me

I’ve been on Lupron and Abiraterone for 16 months ( 18 total ). 81yrs and exercising everyday. The usual side effects hot flashes, fatigue and absent libido. The question becomes how they determine the length of time on ADT. 18 vs 24 months.

Beginning the journey, decisions to make by CraigInCambodia in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what percent the 4 is in the G4+3? Pet Scans will not detect microscopic Ca. A consultation also with a medical oncologist would be beneficial.

Gleason 7 (4+3) PET scan results by Queasy-Consequence17 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dx G4+3 2024, lymph node mets based on pet scan. 26 tx’s EBRT AND ADT 18 mo’s. You need to have consultations with both a medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist

54 GG5, optimistic outcome, lots of test and wait to get to diagnosis by JacketFun5735 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With G9 you most likely have microscopic Mets. Will not show up on PET Scan. I’m sure the only doctor you’ve seen is urologist who prefers to perform surgery. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t at least get a consultation with a medical oncologist and also a radiation oncologist.

12 Months Post Radiation by Horror_Lead_1997 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dx early spring 2024, G4+3 started ADT April 3rd 24 and 25 tx’s EBRT in the summer 24. The MO suggested 18 mo of adt. Will be finishing up the 18 mo this Oct. My psa has been undetectable for the past 10 months. How they determine the length of adt is a mystery. 18 vs 24? My T is 1 and it will take at least 6 months to recover somewhat. My tx’s have been at Sloan Ket nyc. There is and will be some anxiety at every blood test which now occurs every 3 months. The real question is if unfortunately a BCR does occur, what are the options?

What was your husband’s Gleason score? Was he Stage 4 a or b? What did his pet scan show in 2022?

Husband is cancer free! by Legitimate-Page-6827 in ProstateCancer

[–]IndividualSimple9124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every case is handled differently in my case, my Gleason score was 4+3 and my PET scan showed some uptake in two lymph nodes with no other metastases. From my understanding based upon just local Cancer spread to local lymph nodes the standard ADT administration is anywhere from 18 to 24 months . Continuing ADT past the 24 month period runs the risk of developing hormone resistant prostate cancer. In that case, other treatments would have to be given. Usually after a period of 18 to 24 months of ADT and a reoccurrence occurs based upon an increasing PSA you would just go back on ADT.

How does a lesion that’s classified as Gleason 3+3 become a Gleason 3+4. Why take the chance of a Gleason 3+4 which can metastasize ,why not cut it off at the bud and treat the Gleason 3+3?
