Failing ADT
Hi- I thought I would seek some advice before I meet with my MO tomorrow morning. I have responded well to treatment of metPC since my dx 11+ years ago. About 2+ years ago my PSA became measurable and was rising. After about a year or so I think it reached .37. Following a PSMA scan, my MO saw only

Dexamethasone
My cousin has a brain tumour and is receiving radiotherapy. In addition, she has been prescribed 2mg daily dexamethasone steroids. I'm wondering what is the difference between this drug and prednisolone?

More to deal with. Early birthday gift I guess.
I get all my shots as soon as they are available. Besides, Lupron had current flu, covid and RVS. Thought I must have caught flu and but feeling different about it. Worst sore throat every and continually spit phlegm and spittle. Went to our local ER and came up with the winner, COVID! Caught it

Prednislone and Anxiety
My Rheumy this morning suggested swapping to
Betamethasone
which does not cross the blood/brain barrier. However, when I researched, it appears to have the same side effects as pred. Does anyone know anything about this? Thank you as always for your support and advice.

Steroids and Radium 223
Hi Hopefully my husband will start Radium 223 in 4-6 weeks. He recently stopped abiraterone after 5 months as his PSA was doubling every month. While he was on abiraterone he was taking 2mgs of dexamethasone, although 1mg for the last month. He’s currently taking 6mgs of prednisilone but our question

Dexamethasone & Chloramphenicol. Do they cause blurred vision?
They've stopped the
Betamethasone
I was given after the op and I'm now using Dexamethasone and Chloramphenicol. They also put yellow dye in my eye which blurred my vision. My vision's been quite blurry since - even this morning, before I started putting the steroids in, it wasn't quite right.

Ultimate Update
Dear All, My beautiful "Biobro" departed this world on Monday. He never had pain from his extensive bone mets, and in the last weeks was on low doses of ibuprofen and gabapentin. He ended up on hospice which I would not recommend as they were essentially indifferent and incompetent. I took

Good News Update on my Joe
This Friday Joe will get his 4th dose of Pluvicto. His PSA dropped from 7.69 last month to 4.88 this month. He experiences fatigue, which is remedied by dexamethasone on the days he has something he wants to do. Otherwise, he sleeps. No other side effects worth mentioning at this time. I asked for

looking for reassurance or advice
Hello warriors, After exactly 2 years of happily dropping PSA numbers on triplet therapy, my husbands PSA went up this month from .91. To .94 I know MO will say to wait for 3 months of rising PSA before we should panic, but that’s easy for him to say… looking for reassurance as we wait for next months

Temozolomide Side Effects
My dad is on his 2nd cycle of TMZ (300mg)5 days on, 3 weeks off regime. He had GBM located on his left frontal lobe but due to size and depth could not be operated on. Therefore he had 3 weeks of radiotherapy along with 155mg daily TMZ. He has poor speech and his right arm is paralysed. However this

Lepto meningeal involvement. No further treatment. Palliative radiation?
Spouse 10 weeks post Pluvicto and about to embark on a Hail Mary trial of androgen receptor degrader. But yesterday's brain MRI showed spread to dura and leptomeninges.

Could this be the start of neuropathy?
I had my first Docetaxel infusion 6 days ago. Due to the Dexamethasone before and the Prednisone since, I have been really well. In the gym most days, and eating really well. I have had no side effects - until today. It's a minor thing, but both thumbs are a little sore. It's not a tingling sensation

Eyes and Chemotherapy
I also have
Betamethasone
Drops and Carboomer Eye Gel. I use the Gel frequently especially last thing at night.. I am well Medicated to say the least. When I first started taking HU within the first few days I experienced my First Bleed in the Eyeball, very worrying.

Drug side effects
Last month I went from prediabetic to hitting 300 due to the Dexamethasone I've been having to take for my chemo treatments. My oncologist put me on metformin & it brought my level down, but now I've been in & out of the ER. Once with intestinal issues, once with chronic diarrhea & shortness of breath

Similarities/difference with Waldenstroms? ?
I actually have Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia with associated fairly severe neuropathy. I read somewhere it's very similar to CLL with similar or same treatments?Fully diagnosed about 2 years ago, now apparently backdated to 2016 when the monoclonal peak was discovered. Treatments tried; Dexamethasone
