Update on my disease: <0.1 PSA today
. - started ADT in April with Eligard,
Bicalutamide
(30 days). Added Zytiga and prednisone early-May. Long term ADT 2 to 3 years planned. - image-guided IMRT, 38 treatments, started April, finished June 18. That brings us to today. I feel extremely lucky to have such a good result at this point.

Hello!: Stage IV 2.5 years “in” and kicking
Radiation and chemo (taxotere and carboplatin) 1/17-6/17 w ADT
bicalutamide
. From 6/17-present (6/19), switched to ADT Lupron (every 6 mo) and Zytiga with 5mg prednisone (daily). Dropped to ND <.01 PSA on 8/18 and have stayed there so far since then.

An Update On My Father's PCa - Test Results/Treatment Plan
ADT would be
Bicalutamide
and Eligard. I asked for a PET scan and he said there was no clinical reason to do so. On Monday we will be travelling to University of Michigan's Rogel Cancer Center for a second opinion.

Elevated LFTs
Anyone think the grapefruit-
bicalutamide
combo or something else I am taking could cause such marked liver enzyme rise, and if so is this typically reversible? Or does this seem more like a sign of liver mets?

Fibrinogen
Anti-androgen therapy was achieved either by
bicalutamide
tablets 50 mg per day orally or flutamide 3 times a day, each time 250 mg orally. Follow-up Patients were followed up every 3 months.

New Here
I had a very enlarged prostate (known for a number of years) with predominantly Gleason 9 (4+5) and a 68.3 PSA at the time I began Lupron injections and daily
bicalutamide
meds.

AlanG - ADT or NoT??
I guess these posts have helped me as I have almost finished 1 month on
Bicalutamide
. Today or tomorrow I will have the first injection of Zoladex. (don't like all this stuff going into my body and aim to get off it ASAP). Not one for the medicine or medication trap.

Adding Casodex (Bicalutamide) a good idea ?
Basically he agreed the current treatment was fine but suggested that adding
Bicalutamide
could possibly reduce my PSA further. My question is: is this a good idea? Is there any problem with adding
Bicalutamide
? I’ve read that it was a predecessor to Enzalutamide but not as effective as E.

New to the Group, G9, CHEK2c.1100 inherited, suspected but unproven de novo oligometastatic with inconclusive staging work-up
I was immediately and concurrently started on
bicalutamide
and given a 6-month depot shot of Lupron. Staging work-up has been inconclusive but worrisome. Bone Scan showed a circa 1.2cm bright signal R sacrum, tiny less bright signal L 11th rib.

BAT stumped, padding up for second innings
After about a year the
bicalutamide
failed, I stopped taking it and commenced bipolar androgen therapy (BAT) against all advice. I waited a month to allow the
bicalutamide
to wash through.

Started formal treatment in December 18 – advised that cancer was Locally Advanced - Treatment started with 3 weeks of
Bicalutamide
then overlapped with Lupron with a one month injection late December and a 3 month injection in late January.

Please shoot holes in this plan.
Dx Stage 4 Gl 9 bone mets only, PSA 41, 6 cy. docataxel, leuprolide since 10/16, PSA 1.2, doubled in a year, added
bicalutamide
, doubled in a year, swapped out Casodex for enzalutamide, roughly half way through the Provenge thang.

Newly diagnosed and full of questions
The surgeon said he doesn't usually bother with hormone therapy before the op, but "in my case" he would prescribe
Bicalutamide
, which I've just started.

CBD effects apoptosis in all 4 PCa cell lines -- significantly enhanced the anti‐cancer effects of bicalutamide
In these tumours, CBD also significantly enhanced the anti‐cancer effects of
bicalutamide
(extending the survival time of the animals), but not those of docetaxel.

Thoughts on BAT
I have concluded that it has reversed the resistance that had built up to ADT (gnhr agonist zolodex) +
bicalutamide
(Casodex). Its about 6 months since I rechallenged the beast with
bicalutamide
after PSA started rising at the end of the BAT.

Am I on track?
I commenced Hormone therapy
Bicalutamide
tabs 50mg, mid December for 3 weeks, and had my first (one month dose) of Leuprorelin (L) 3.75mg on 28th Dec 18. Received second L injection on 25th Jan 19 which was a 3 month dose.

Testosterone level too high
Currently I am on hormone therapy with 50mg
Bicalutamide
per day and 20 mg Tamoxifen. Plus 850 mg Metformin. Any suggestions what is causing this testosterone level and what I should do?
