Xofigo - first injection

[ahjab]

Hi -

First, I would like to thank all of you for your support and kindness. I'm so glad I found this group to help my father through his journey. My father received his first Xofigo treatment today. So far so good - with the exception of fatigue, he seems ok. What should we expect in the next few days? Should he be in something else while taking Xofigo? He is due for lupron in May and Xgeva in about a month or so.

Thank you

The fatigue is probably due to the Lupron.

How is your Dad doing on the Xofigo? my father starts on June 4th. If you don't mind me asking.

He is doing well - PSA is still climbing unfortunately - last month it was 125. He is suppose to have the third injection this week. We'll then do a c-scan and see if it is actually helping. Physically he is better and eats well. It seems like Xofigo has helped with the pain as well

Good luck to your father... we are doing another blood test this week. I'll let you know if things changed.

Thank you for the response, I'm hoping your father will have some good scans and bloodwork!!!
