Hi lybrate-user. What was the gleason score on prostate biopsy and what was his psa at begining, if psa is consistently at this level you can continue calutide. Though, we used to prescribe calutide 50 mg once a day after orchidectomy. Did he have metastatic prostate cancer?

Your father has metastatic ca prostate.
He requires hormonal therapy first- medical or surgical.
Medical therapy includes 1 injection every 3 to 6 months and caluran 50 mg along with it. Surgical means castration (removing both testis by surgery).
Depending on his response to hormonal therapy he can be planned for further management like chemo, abiraterone etc.

Yes sure continue the medicine there is nothing to worry about it. Follow up 3-4 months is necessary.
