Woohoo! Glad to hear. It's an amazing thing when your PSA comes back undetectable. Mine did initially and then went up to .79 and I thought OK, that was nice while it lasted. Then it went back to undetectable again.
We started around the same time, but you got quite a while longer before you had to go on second-line ADT.
Sounds great! Started about same time? March 2017. Extensive bone mets plus lymph node mets. Xtandi 36 months August. Bone scan a week ago shows cancer stable. Psa <0.1, keep fighting Nicnatyes.
That is the regime I employ. I'm not on Xtandi, yet. Lupron and Zytiga for me. The more active I can be, the better I feel. Although when energy ebbs a quick nap can turn it around. Great news, all the best
Lupron 6 months, Zytiga 3 months. Just finished my walk by the reservoir. Of course with Mans Best Friend, loves walks too, Hot and sticky in Connecticut right now.
Great news .... Iβm in Australia and started the Xtandi journey about 5 weeks ago after my PSA had progressively risen from <0.5 to 6.3 across 09/19 to 06/20.
My Oncologist put me on Xtandi (with my 3 monthly Zoladex injections continuing) and the PSA dropped to 1.96 after 2 weeks and remained the same after another 2 weeks. Only issue is lethargy (canβt do a damn thing before Iβm exhausted) but Iβll take that πππππ
Correct. When my PSA shot up to 6.5, my Onc suggested I do Xofigo also but after taking Xtandi these past 3 months, he said yesterday to hold off on it.
Hello tceinvestments, after 48 hours of taking Xtandi, I started to pee blood. The triage nurse told me to drink lots of water. After 3 days, everything was clear. The only other s/e was heavy fatigue which I combat through walking early in the am.
You're welcome.... I'm okay and so is Ate.... We are both under house arrest also... and a couple of months ago we decided to hide all sharp implements and silverware. (was a good idea), I have to apologize that I forgot that you're Pinoy... I can't blame it on the ADT more on old age.....
