Dexamethasone with Zytiga
Looks like my husband switching steroid is getting some traction! 9.4 down to 4.8 psa. How many months has anyone gotten on Zytiga using this protocol ?

PSA went from 0.05 to 0.07
My dad’s PSA has been rising as he is on Zytiga, the doctor is switching him from prednisone to dexamethasone to see if the PSA stabilizes. Anybody had success with this switch? Is this a good route to go? I should add that the doctor switched him from getting tests every month to every two months, so

Did anyone experience severe headaches with Promacta?
Hello, I am a nineteen year old girl who has been recently diagnosed with ITP. Just last week I started my second round of Dexamethasone and I also started taking 25 mg of Promacta. But just yesterday, I started to get severe tension headaches on the back of my neck. I called my nurse and she told me

If you’ve not read my old post with details I’ll summarize. I’ve had melanoma for 9 years, stage 1 boosted to stage 3 practically immediately and was excised along with my right ear. Entered a trial treatment which has since been approved, Ipilimumab. For a few years after I continued my foolish behavior

Adult-onset asthma and Cushing
Hi all! Firstly I'm Asian and not from UK, but we don't have forums like these in my country. Just would like some advice on current situation. I had adult onset asthma since start of 2019 and it became so bad I would wake up at 3am breathless and vomiting. I was placed on Seretide 25/50, 2 in morning

Zytiga with dexamethasone
My husbands zytiga seems to be losing its efficacy. Has anyone had success in changing from prednisone to dexamethasone? And if so how much longer did you get to stay on the Zytiga? Just wondering as I have read about many men changing to dexamethasone but I haven’t read success stories. Thank you!

Better outcomes in severe COVID-19 patients administered interleukin-6 inhibitors early.
New research from Boston Medical Center found that patients experiencing severe COVID-19 symptoms had improved outcomes when administered an Interleukin-6 (IL6ri) inhibitor, sarilumab or tocilizumab, given to mediate severe systemic inflammatory responses. The treatment was more effective when administered

Pain flare prophylaxis--Dr. Sartor high testosterone therapy--
Greetings. I am aware that Dr. Sartor, sometimes, does give high testosterone therapy for men with MCRPC. If a patient has bone mets, but no pain symptoms, is it possible to use Dexamethasone as pain flare prophylaxis? I am aware that men with bone mets often get Dexamethasone to possibly avoid having

Next step: Jevtana or Xofigo?

Hesitation before switching from Abiraterone to some other protocol.
I have been discussing and considering that Abiraterone might be failing. It seems that a steady level in the 4 range for the previous 11 months has moved to the 6 range. July lab results arrived yesterday. I switched from prednisone to dexamethasone in the last week of June. Dexamethasone is more powerful

Super clumsy
Is it only me that finds the doors, particularly handles and things leap out and bruise. I am on dexamethasone every three days so prone to bruises anyway but my clumsiness is really irritating. I suspect it’s because I have paraesthesia in my hands and feet. On Sunday, it’s always the weekend isn’t

Hip replacement so far so good
Dear friends I thought I’d update you on my hip surgery as we’d had a discussion recently about the impact on PMR it might or might not have. I’m only in my second week post op but I’ve been amazed at the outcome and progress so far. I had a local (spinal block) anaesthetic with sedation and don’t remember

Covid-19 & Dexamethasone
Article in the NY Times today [1]. Seems that if dexy is given before the body goes into mutual destruction mode - i.e. the cytokine storm - it can increase mortality risk. Makes perfect sense. We want to stimulate the immune system until the last moment & dampen it thereafter. (This was discussed
