Scans and questions
I have a question about CT scan results. I was diagnosed with MBC a year ago after being 5 years clear of breast cancer. I'm on Ibrance 125 mg and Faslodex shots. The cancer had spread to both sides of my neck, my sternum, and lung. I had a PET scan in January and the tumors had shrunk in my neck

Diagnosed 2008, RP same year, followed by salvage radiation in 2012, then Chemo (docetaxel) in 2016, then Lupron (for life), then bicalutamide(
Casodex
). In April, last year, switched out

Starting Adt
He has already started
Casodex
50 mg. He has got cardiac problems,stents. Currently he is taking Broccomax, but also baby Aspirin and a statin. Is it advisable for him to add Natto now? What about K2D3? Thinking of ADT worsening his cardiac disease..

Paclitaxel , Trastuzumab , Pertuzumab IV chemo update after Ibrance & faslodex quit working .
For anyone waiting to decide if it is time to move on to IV Paclitaxel I wanted to assure you that for me it has not been that bad. The side effects are tolerable . I have finished 6 rounds (12 infusions ) . It is a long day at the clinic on treatment day the first week I get all 3 medications with blood

Faslodex
My PET scan showed three new areas that have metastasized plus pleural effusion. I've been on Letrizole for 2 1/2 years and it obviously has stopped working. My oncologist is switching me to Faslodex injections. What can I expect for side effects? Is anyone familiar with this treatment? I am very scared

Prep for side effects of casodex vs zytiga and prednisone
So when the time came to go to
casodex
, I just started taking it. It hit me like the worst flu ever (symptoms above). The main discomfort was an inability to eat or drink, which exacerbated the other symptoms. So I quit taking it. Dr. says, we go to Zytiga and prednisone next.

Urinary Tract Infection help
Ladies, I seem to keep getting recurring urinary tract infections which I think is the result of the meds that I’m on. I currently am on Ibrance, Faslodex and Xgeva. They tell me it’s not unusual to get the urinary tract infections. But I’m just wondering if anybody has any suggestions of how you’re

Bone scan on Thursday showing Slight uptake in L2 L3 and L5
I’ve been on Arimidex for 4 years with Xgeva shots every 3 months since dx Mbc in January 2017. My tumor markers have increased by about 10 a month so I’m now at 121. CT scan in December didn’t show progression, Pet Ct scan last August showed uptake in same vertebrae but they said it could be osteoarthritis

Side effects of Ibrance and faslodex
Hi I am on 100 mg of Ibrance and faslodex monthly injections and about to start zometa monthly infusions. I have been on treatment about 10 months with Mets to the bone. My initial breast cancer was 6 years ago. I had radiation and chemo at that time. I am experiencing so many side effects that are

? Should I stop casodex prior to PSMA Pet scan for better detection rate.
Per urologists, started
casodex
50 mg 1x. After 23 days on
casodex
my PSA went to .14 from .19. I am considering stopping
casodex
for 2 months in the belief that the scan may provide better detection.

Ibrance and Faslodex
I have been on Ibrance and Faslodex for ten months. Next week I get a PET Scan My port has been very useful and it has served me well throughout my treatments and blood draws. When I learn more about my treatment, I’ll share more. Susanita

PSA raised rapidly after 2 months finishing chemo
-My dad had taken
Casodex
and achieved PSA nadir of 0.162 after 10 months of 1st line ADT. He stopped using
Casodex
when the PSA increased to 0.3. Could he recharge
Casodex
? -Based on our understanding from Healthunlocked, the next treatment can be Zytiga.

Good news day....no a GREAT news day!
So I had a PET scan this week's and yesterday I got my results! After only 4 months on Ibrance, faslodex and xgeva and 10 rounds of radiation my tumours in my sternum, spine and ribs are inactive! My oncologist said it's this best result he's had for such a short time! To say I'm pleased is a huge understatement

After the BCR and the ADT vacation – All the tests results are in – it's curtain time - what comes next – what to do next ?
I do know one thing – Eligard will NOT be a candidate for me – we will TRY some other options – maybe even monotherapy with
Casodex
– but that is not SOC in Canada, so I wonder if something else is on the horizon – I did mention
Casodex
and I did not hear 'NO!' - so maybe that is an option.

Xgeva
Just a quick question: I'm getting my first Xgeva shot tomorrow...is it anything like Faslodex? Don't know what to expect.

Ibrance following SBRT to 2 bone mets
Hi everyone - my mom had SBRT to 2 bone mets in January. She is currently on faslodex and xgeva, however her oncologist recommended she start ibrance. We are on the more conservative side and I wanted to ask if anyone here was in the same boat & what you decided to do. Thanks
