Bicalutamide
The thing I don’t understand is during the visit to the Urologist to discuss his biopsy results, the urologist prescribed 50mg of
Bicalutamide
to begin reducing his testosterone. I believe this is premature. What does this esteemed group say?

Eligard and bicalutamide.
Started eligard and
bicalutamide
post RP in 2018. Followed advice of urologist until 2022. New urologist took me off both after PSA of 0.01. Unfortunately, l did not receive advice about secondary effects of the above drugs-osteoporosis etc.

Bicalutamide Vs Eligard
I am going to start
Bicalutamide
50mg for a few weeks prior to starting Eligard. My question is, could I hold off taking Eligard until early June and just remain on
Bicalutamide
for 3 months until early June when I would then start Eligard?

Bicalutamide and Eligard
I have relied on
bicalutamide
for 40 months already. Doctor still thinks it is still working. He said somebody it works for 12 years. Is that true? What options do I have?

bicalutamide no longer as effective?
After more than two years of
bicalutamide
monotherapy and repeated PSA<0.1 I just received a 0.6. Before the
bicalutamide
my PSMA scan showed activity in only the seminal vesicle region. PSA was 2.5 at that time. Lupron had ceased being effective.
Bicalutamide
had a terrific response.

Bicalutamide (Casodex) then Eligard - Question
OK, Another quick question. I've been on Bical for 11 days and in 3 days I get my first 1 month injection of Eligard. I have had almost zero side effects with Bical, maybe a little extra fatigue but hardly noticeable. Does this mean that perhaps I will tolerate Eligard better than what some people experience

Avodart added to my treatment regimen. I am Leary of it.
My MO prescribed
bicalutamide
and avodart after my 20 rounds of SBRT. My PSA went up to 21 after the SBRT. The
bicalutamide
I understand. I am leary of the avodart. I am concerned that it will mask PSA rise from cancer. Any thoughts on this?

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking
Bicalutamide
50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection.

1 month vs 3 month HT injections
The RO wants me to start on 14 days of
Bicalutamide
tablets, then 3 monthly injections of Eligard. So I have a few questions; 1: I remember someone mentioning on this forum that monthly injections are easier to tolerate compared to injections every 3 months.

dropped bicalutamide added Zytiga
lupron and
bicalutamide
for one month. PSA dropped 300/33 testosterone dropped 650/20. Then another month of treatment.(no PSA yet ) Five days ago stopped
bicalutamide
and added Zytiga. Sexual interest/function seems to have returned. Is this coincidence or an issue with meds??

Bicalutamide shortage?
When checking on my order today with OptumRx, I was told they had no
Bicalutamide
and didn’t know when they would be resupplied. Maybe now will be time to take my first vacation. My PSA continues to remain <.02 with minimal side effects.

Friend in need of help
Doctors at the hospital recommended the following: IV Decadron 4mg 4x/day which started on 1/3'
Bicalutamide
50mg once a day for 14 days Lupron after 2 weeks No surgeries due to his age. He is high risk for paralysis. He set up an appointment with an Oncologist for 1/15.

Finasteride: "Miracle drug" regrows hair, heals prostate, and also boosts heart health ByEric Ralls Earth.com
I am now thinking to add Finasteride to
Bicalutamide

Update: PSA after IMRT
After my 40 treatments, I wanted to get off the
bicalutamide
I had been on for 2 months. My breasts had not only gotten enlarged but they had also become quite painful, and the Tamoxifen my RO had put me on did not help with this.

Adding second line hormonal therapy?
It will most probably be Zytiga but I have read that sometimes in the past
Bicalutamide
(Casodex) was added to Zoladex for certain time in similar cases. What's the general opinion about that nowadays?
