PSMA Scan and HU Altered my Treatment Plan
Treatment Plan: Started
Bicalutamide
today and will receive my Lupron shot in 30 days. I have sent an email to my MO asking for abiraterone to be added to complete the ADT treatment. I am not confident that my MO will allow the abiraterone but am hopeful.

Bicalutamide
-Everolimus for prostate cancer.

Wanted to share some positive news
He started Zolodex which worked well for 2 years, PSA staying at 1.5,
Bicalutamide
was added when PSA started to rise and that worked well for another year.

seeking advice
We will receive diagnoses in two weeks and in the meanwhile doctor has prescribe Casodex
bicalutamide
. My question is will it be okay for my father to continue smoking medical marijuana/oil while taking chemo therapy pills. It really helps with pain and he doesn’t want to take norcos.

Phase 3 ARCHES trial - Enzalutamide + ADT
In the
bicalutamide
-controlled study of chemotherapy-naïve mCRPC patients, Grade 3-4 adverse reactions were reported in 39% of XTANDI patients and 38% of
bicalutamide
patients. Discontinuations with an AE as the primary reason were reported for 8% of XTANDI patients and 6% of
bicalutamide
patients.

Calling all PC nerds: Facts/opinions/views on Zytiga (Abiraterone) metabolism?
Terminal half life is between 5-14 hours, with an average half life of ~9 hours (contrast this, dear readers, with a
Bicalutamide
half life of 5.9 days)... this would seem to indicate 2x per day rather than the 1x per day dosing approach... 2.

Conflicts between HIV and PCa meds
My doctor is considering augmenting that with
bicalutamide
to reduce PSA levels as I await radiation therapy (TE is already <0.1 but PSA appears to be not fully responsive).

Has anybody tried Zytiga re challenge after failed chemo?
Aged 54 at diagnosis with no family history of Pca
Bicalutamide
and Prostap then started on Zytiga and prednisalone (March 2015) which stopped March 2018 as PSA rising. Tested at Royal Marsden for BRCA Gene for Olaparib trial but negative so not eligible.

1. Price of abiraterone / Zytiga in UK (private prescription) 2. NICE decision for abiraterone in hormone sensitive PC
The current treatment plan is ADT (
Bicalutamide
, LHRH injections, for at least 1 year), 6 cycles docetaxel, then 6-8 weeks radiotherapy to prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. We are trying to understand if privately funded abiraterone is a realistic and worth it option, instead of docetaxel.

Have you any better ideas?
Bicalutamide
added to Zoladex, PSA dropped to 7 for a few months then started rising again so
Bicalutamide
stopped, PSA continuing to rise. expecting to go on to Aberaterone but CT scan showed no identifiable metastasis so NICE rules in UK say no Aabiraterone or Enxalutamide allowed. it seems I have

Androgen blocker Vs ADT
Seems to be suggesting go to (eg)
bicalutamide
monotherapy before ADT. Seems a good idea to me, but everyone is different. https://www.practiceupdate.com/C/77171/56?elsca1=emc_enews_topic-alert

Casodex (Bicalutemide)
After taking
bicalutamide
my PSA goes down to about 1.5 and then it slowly rises. I recently had an MRI and it indicated that the cancer had not spread beyond the prostate gland

What to do next after RP and RT?
In June I started 30-days of
bicalutamide
followed by a 6-month shot of ADT (Trelstar). I underwent 37 sessions of IMRT beginning in July. My post-RP PSA was .01. My post-IMRT PSA is undetectable as of two months ago—I’m scheduled for another test in January.

And so it begins......
Started
Bicalutamide
1st Sept. Now on Prostap 3 (ADT). Sadly our daughter passed away unexpectedly in October. This was a devastating shock following on so soon after my diagnosis. This has affected us both massively and I think the hormone treatment has exacerbated my reaction.

Hello from Sydney
We opted for ERBT,
Bicalutamide
trial and ADT every 3 months inserted under his stomach skin. His PSA at diagnosis was 14. He has been 0.02 for the past 6 months since radiation finished in May 2018. He is very fit, eats well, has a bit of fluid retention in his ankles, he's a bit bitchy.

STAGE 4 Tx with Hormones . . . metastasis to lymph . . .
They started with
Bicalutamide
on 24 September then Lupron Injection on 3 October. Confirmed is mestastasis to left groin lymphnode. No-one wants to do anything about the lymphnode. PSA down from 13.97 to .73. Doc told dad still watch 'n wait. Do we need to do anything else?
