My Cancer Journey

[hysir]

I am a 7 year prostate cancer survivor. I am presently using lupron, zytiga, prednisone, xgeva, and dutasteride as my primary therapy. I have brca2 and bone metastecies. I will be going to provenge and olaparib in the next few weeks and hopefully not get any more spots on my spine. I have had Cyberknife radiation treatment for past spots.

Welcome aboard! Did Cyberknife work well for you?

[hysir in reply to BigRich]

Yes it did. It zapped my spots on the spine and no complications.

Sounds like a very comprehensive treatment regimen. Where are you getting your care?

Good plan.did you have surgery or radiation before ADT?

[hysir in reply to Alinur]

I was on active surveillance for approx 2 yrs. I had a new tumor on my prostate and went on ADT. I had radiation to treat spots on my spine.
