Chemo, Provenge, Lu 177, car t,
The switch to Dexa did not work for me. Now on chemo.
Worked for me for a bit. Went from .2 to .1 then took a vacation from meds. Started again ar4.0. 1 yr later still at 2 but on eligard and nubeqa
It had no effect on me but was told by MO at Yale that close to %60 have a positive outcome. For how long, unknown.
When my PSA began to rise I made the switch. Made no difference.
Abiraterone plus prednisone did not change PSA's acceleration for me in 2019. When PSA reached 64.1 I talked my oncologist into switching to dexamethasone. PSA dropped to 26.6 and then started a gradual increase. Five months later it was 56.9 (still lower) when I started on docetaxel.
yes positive response for 1 year
