Fulvestrant / Faslodex
Hi Ladies I am about to start Fulvestrant/Faslodex two injections every 4 weeks. Would like to hear from anyone who has been on this, how did you tolerate it and what about side effects. Thanks in anticipation.

Rising Cancer markers
Good morning All Happy Saturday I was diagnosed in June 2018 with stage 4 MBC to the bones. Was on Ibrance and Femara until about 2 months ago. I had a pet scan done and it showed some progression in the bones but nowhere else. My oncologist took me off Femara and put me on Faslodex. I have had 3 treatments

With good Zytiga response, do I really need Lupron for adjunctive ADT pre-Brachy?
Scholz at POS recommended
Casodex
, Lupron, and Zytiga together. Due to delays in approvals, and whatnot, the first 3 weeks I was on
Casodex
alone, dropped PSA from 33 to 21. Then added Zytiga+Pred for last two weeks, and PSA dropped to 4 on just 3/4 dosage of 3x250mg (my choice to ramp up).

What treatment for recurrent prostate cancer?
I had hormone therapy with
Casodex
150, followed by Radiation treatment for a 7 week period from March to August 2011. After treatment, my PSA fell to a level around 1, and was constant at a level between 0.5 and 1.5 up to 2018.

Monotherapy or ADT3?
My current urologist started me on
Casodex
in December and a month later in January he switched me to Lupron. The
Casodex
knocked my PSA down to 33.

Has anyone done docetaxel with ADT as a first line treatment?
My husband was diagnosed in the last month and has only has a Firmagon shot and ~10 days of
Casodex
. We know he has a high volume of mets. Curious if anyone else has gone right to chemo instead of Zytiga/Xtandi or used it in conjunction as a first-line treatment?

change in meds to afinitor & exemestance
Hi again, I was on ibrance & faslodex but the past 3 months my ca 27 29 markers have been climbing 71 to 97 to 109. My Onc is leaving my healthcare system and has set me up with a new Onc. They met before I was seen today, and decided to switch me to Afinitor 5mg and Exemestance 25 mg. My new Onc says

Update on Radiation Onocologist second opinion. Confused?
The Onocologist at MD Anderson wants to add
Casodex
and not start radiation for 5 to 6 months after surgery. He said he would not give me zitega unless my psa went up. He also said my radiation would last 8 weeks for 8-10 min. Current doctor said 8 weeks for 2 min. Any suggestions or advice.

Liver scan after finding new growths after cat scan?
I had breast cancer in 2015. Beat it. Had APL leukemia in 2017. Beat it. Found out in Nov 2018 that my breast cancer had metastasized to my sternum. Went on Ibrance, Xgeva, and faslodex. My cancer markers dropped dramatically. Then, at my June labs, it showed that my cancer markers had nearly doubled

Guiding care for 76 yo husband with aggressive pca
Met with a couple of docs and other said radiation with Lupron and
Casodex
. Doing that. Scans indicated not spread. But cancer is sneaky and likes to travel when given the chance. Freeloader. I was hospice nurse many moons ago.

Whatās next? Hearing different approaches from different people.
He was put on
casodex
and zolendronic acid (bone medicine). His 3 months check up after orchiectomy was 18, so he continued with the current plan. On His 6 months check up, the PSA has gone up to 58. The Oncologist has asked us to start Honcan which is fisfesterol.

Remedy for Extremely Dry Face?
My eyes & face are so dry they hurt & swell & peel. I am assuming this is from the Faslodex (& in combination with IBrance). I am on my 2nd round of Faslodex shots in 2 weeks. I have another round in two weeks then it goes to monthly, Does anyone else have this. If so, what do you recommend?
