Toe issues
Does anyone else have issues with their toe nails? I’ve had two fall off and several are discolored like they are bruised. I will eventually lose them as well. I’ve been on faslodex and Ibrance for 16 months.

Rising psa
It was 3.8, 4.1, 4.6 now 6.6, I think it is time for a second line of defense like
casodex
, the high price not an option plus like to start then when that fails go to the others that could go down in price by then. Should I be starting the second line now ?

What to do? What to do?
Hello breasties, Hope you’re all well. So Ibrance with Letrozole didn’t work for me. Now He wants to put me on Faslodex with chemo by IV. Or maybe one of the 2. Which one do you girls think wold be a better option? I don’t know what to do. Thank you and God bless 💕🙏

Piqray or Xeloda? What were your experience?
Hi everyone. Unfortunately my scans show progression w/ new bone lesions. Good news is my mets are still all in bones. I now have to choose my next treatment by next week: Piqray + Faslodex or Xeloda. Here are my thoughts: Piqray cons: horrible, side effects. Could cause diabetes and terrible rash

The Difficult Question most all of us will face.
Zolodex, Lupron,
Casodex
, Erleada, Xtandi, Zytiga w\predisone, now Docetaxel. We discussed the options again and how they could buy time or not. 1) Continue with Chemo but use Cabazitaxel instead: Cabazitaxel he said was more toxic and may be less tolerated than Docetaxel.

How to stop weight loss?
Hello. For the past 2-3 months I've been having trouble maintaining weight. It has dropped as low as 104. I should be around 115-120 for my height. I am vegan, don't drink, and am trying to shove in the calories. I've also experienced some stomach upset (mild nausea) that makes eating unappealing. I've

How long does it take before PSA drops on Casodex?
I've read it can take 4-6 weeks for PSA to drop on
Casodex
, but then it will work for 14-22 months.

HER2- changed to HER2+
Hello breasties, So, the first treatment of MBC which was Ibrance and Letrozole stopped working after just a few short months. My oncologist is now suggesting Faslodex only as a next treatment. He also told me that my cancer went from being HER2 negative to HER2 positive. Has this happened to any of

ADT and Docetaxel worked for treating the Prostrate and Pelvic Mets, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad
👏👏)
Casodex
and Eligard (my ADT) combined with Docetaxel (6 shots) worked wonders on the prostrate and bone mets, but the bladdder metastasis is not responding (2 out of 3 ain't bad.... ).

ADT not working?
At what point do I switch to additional therapy (
Casodex
, Zytiga, Xtandi, etc.)? And which would be the most appropriate next step of the options?

Hello breasties! Hope everyone is doing well. So, I don’t know if any of you remember my story... I’m the one who’s boyfriend decided to throw me out after 6 months of diagnosis of MBC because HE couldn’t handle it. The boyfriend, it still hurts but I don’t cry anymore. I’m less depressed. He actually
