Hi we’re leaving for Arizona in a week and still do not have an idea of what kind of radiation my husband might need

biopsy was done and samples have been sent for testing, waiting on results

He’s doing well on Zytiga and Pred right now but may need to consult radiology oncologist while in AZ , anyone with any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thx to all

Had radiation last week. CTCA in Goodyear, AZ. Dr. Kelly. Super pleased with him and the entire staff

thank you for the recommendation, is that MD as DR or MD Anderson clinic?

Hello,

I did o.k. on Zytega & prednisone. No side effects. But it stopped working after several months. Xtandi had lots of side effects for me and did not seem to benefit me.

A belated thank you to everyone who replied to question about the life expectancy of a guy with castration resistant prostate cancer! Your information, knowledge, wisdom and humor is much appreciated!

P.S.: “Yin-Yin” is the name of my cat.
