That site demanded a payment in order to read the article. Was it good news or bad news for RU 223?

By my second Infusion, my PSA dropped 48 points.. but in all fairness it was developed by two different labs. We'll see how it fares at # 3

My father 80 on April 13th is to be treated with Xofigo. Do you have any updates. My dad currently has mets to bone only.

I also only have bone mets.. but now I'm starting to feel bone pain. Awaiting a PSMA PET scan this month.My SE's are fatigue and a little nausea. I'm not sure if it's the disease or the Ra 223. Wishing your dad good luck

Did anyone see a big spike attributed to it? Like a flare response?

He had a bone scan and has been taken off after the second. I hope it is working for you despite PSA increase MO said it is not as relevant for monitoring radium response
