BP with abiraterone + prednisone, eplerenone, dexamethasone
I have been on Lupron and abiraterone with (initially) prednisone for 4.5 years, which has maintained my PSA at <0.1 since 111 at diagnosis. I have all the usual side effects. One that doesn't bother me day-to-day, but definitely concerns me, is hypertension. Before PCa, I had moderately high BP, which

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone, PSA increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4 PSA dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga. Yea

BAD NEWS
If you followed my recent post, you'll remember that I was ecstatic to have had a consultation with the team at Royal Marsden Cancer Clinic, where I was told that my PET scan of June, my PSA of June (4.4) and my overall good health meant that they felt I needed nothing more than dexamethasone and there

Low Doses of Dexamethasone as monotherapy in mCRPC
Are there any recent studies that I could show to my dad's doctor? I found some older ones, but not the most recent. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4622618/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3436439/ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/5903550_Efficacy_of_low-dose_dexamethasone_in_castration-refractory_prostate_cancer

Update after consultation w/Royal Marsden
I promised I would address some requests for information following my consultation with Prof. Johan de Bono and his team at the Royal Marsden Hospital. The trigger was a marginally raised PSA (now 4.4) and some evidence on more bone mets, failing Enzalutamide and being offered a course of chemo (which

Coming off Naproxen safely?
Hi After 3 doses of Radium 223, my pain and general core strength seems to be improving after a rocky start. I'm also taking low dose Dexamethasone. I'd like to come off Naproxen gently and just take Paracetamol. I'm taking 2 x500 mg a day after meals. I'd be grateful for any experience or advice

Atrial fibrillation after steroids
Has anyone experienced atrial fibrillation after starting steroids? 4 years ago I had steroid injections in both knees, and less than 48 hours later suddenly went into persistent rapid AF, having no previous history of it. I found some Dutch research that found new atrial fibrillation was more common

dexamethasone
My Dad had been having stroke like symptoms with slurred speech and right arm paralysis. He was sent home with diagnosis of stroke with blood thinners and statin following an MRI. However 6 weeks later he was deteriorating rather than improving and re-admitted to hospital. Following an MRI with contrast

Getting circumcised after 7 months of battling with constant Balanitis
I got Balanitis from seemingly nowhere 7 months ago. As soon as I realized something felt off down there I took a trip to the Dr, believing that it would be a relatively easy fix. I was prescribed Clotrimazole, I was so relieved on the way home, thankful for modern medicine. If only I’d known how premature

Prednislone and Anxiety
I've been reducing from 20mg pred since November 2022, currently on 11mg. Since Christmas I have had episodes of extreme anxiety, depression, mood swings and tearfulness. My Rheumy this morning suggested swapping to Betamethasone which does not cross the blood/brain barrier. However, when I researched

Switching from prednisone to dexamethasone with abiraterone
I'm about to switch, not because my PSA is increasing, but because I'm hopeful that dexamethasone may reduce my blood pressure. Is this a sound or stupid reason to switch? Lupron plus abiraterone with prednisone have maintained my PSA < 0.1 (from 111 at DX) for over 4 years. I have all the usual SEs

Timing of Dexamethasone
I've been on ADT since 2017 and approximately 3 years ago I switched from prednisone to .5mg dexamethasone daily with morning meal. I have been having periods of infrequent lightheadedness. I have been through a series of tests and my pcp cannot determine the source. Can I switch my dose of dexa from

Dexamethasone & Chloramphenicol. Do they cause blurred vision?
Went down to eye casualty as still had sensitivity and irritation from my cataract op though my vision was clear. No infection but the eye is very dry still. Seems the dry eye drops aren't doing a lot. I need to use my heat mask at least once a day. They've stopped the Betamethasone I was given after

Moving on...to olaparib
I recently updated to ask about chemo options, mainly cabazitaxel with or without carboplatin, or a second round of docetaxel, this time with carboplatin. I had been discussing these with my Mayo doctors, Kwon and Orme. Then earlier this week, Dr. Orme phoned me to report that after another genetic

Left zytiga in another state
my husband forgot his zytiga and dexamethasone at home in Mississippi. We are in Texas for his father’s funeral which is Saturday. Can anyone help us problem solve. How much of a problem is it if he misses 3 doses?
