Saw an oncologist the other day and he is adding casodex in addition to the Eligard I've been on since 12/16. I am having a new bone scan and CT scan at the end of this month.

We in this group always like to give useful and sensible replies. In the absence of critically important information we don't know how to do it. Would you be kind enough to tell us at least the following : Where you live, age, when diagnosed, pathology at diagnosis ( T?N?M ?),Gleason Score, PSA at the time of diagnosis and the subsequent values up to the present, any other treatments taken besides Eligard and Casodex ? Do you have any specific questions to ask from us right now?

Most welcome to our club and thank you for joining us.

Many years ago I was on Casodex. It worked great for me, I was on it for over 5 years. If you are on Lupron my guess is you PSA to jump.

I appreciate your modesty; however, I consider you, one of the smart guys on this site.
