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.

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?

What’s 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.

My first post. Rising PSA After Surgery.
RO is recommending 4 months ADT (Lupron +
Casodex
) and 38 sessions of PBRT (Prostate Bed Radiation Therapy) at 68.4 Gy, 25 sessions of PLNRT (Pelvic Lymph Node Radiation Therapy) at 50-60 Gy. Is this the best approach for my situation?

My cancer markers have been slowly rising for the last 3 months, but this lab showed they've doubled. My wbc counts and neuts are 2 and.8
This all terrifies me as I recovered from APL leukemia only to have breast cancer return four months later. I've been on faslodex, xgeva, and ibrance since November of 2019. Counts were ok until April when my cancer markers started slowly rising. I had a UTI, so oncologist was not too worried. This lab

My last labs revealed a WBC count of 2, but my neuts were at .8. Has anyone every had this happen on Ibrance and Faslodex?
Really worried since I now have metastatic breast cancer after recovering from APL leukemia.

Dad with prostate cancer
So he started on
casodex
for 30 days and lupron. PSA dropped to the 4s before starting to uptrend to 6 in late 2017. At that time zytiga/prednisone was added. PSA dropped 2, but then uptrended throughout 2018 to 16. He started to develop right hip/pelvic pain in January 2019.

Rapid PSA decrease?
I was diagnosed Stage IV PC January 2019, and started
Casodex
+ Lupron + Zytiga + Xgeva + Prednisone. My PSA was 111 on 1/15/19, 65 on 3/15/19, and 4.6 on 4/10/19. Is that change typical for someone after 3 months od ADT? Does it mean much of anything?

He was put on
casodex
and started lupron shots. Two months later his Ps a was not going down much, the oncologist started him on zytiga and prednisone. He was doing much better, he gained weight and was feeling his normal self. He was also given xgeva shots.

Newly-Approved Drug for HR+, HER2- PI3K Mutant MBC
Some good news about a therapy that was just approved in the US (hopefully other countries to follow!) The PI3K (or PIK3CA) mutation is frequently found in metastatic breast cancer tumors, and it can be diagnosed via a liquid biopsy or a tumor biopsy. Until recently, there has not been an approved

Adding Casodex (Bicalutamide) a good idea ?
I’d like to ask this community about the wisdom of adding
Casodex
to standard ADT. Background: Dx Feb 2018, PSA 168; multiple mets to bones. Firmagon monthly Feb - Nov switched to 3 monthly Dipherelin in Nov. 6 rounds of Docetaxel Apr - Jul.

Upcoming Hormone Therapy and Sex
My urologist has mentioned using one of the
Casodex
family of drugs following the scan at some point. My question is if the treatment completely kills your sex drive and how this affects sex in general. Thoughts?

Advice Please...
Overall assessment is PI-RADS 5 Took a 21 day course of
casodex
hormone therapy and lupron injection, which lowered my testoserone reading drastically (to about 20% of starting values). Good.
