A bit of a set back
I've had a bit of a set back today. I saw my oncologist 3 weeks ago to discuss my scan results. Just before my appointment I'd had an appointment come through from my former hospital for my annual mammogram. As I'm having scans every 3 months I wasn't sure if I still needed the mammogram. The oncologist

Docateaxel or Actinium?
PSA continued to rise so had 2 months of
Casodex
which did not work with PSA climbing to 62.9. Zytiga/Prednisone started early Dec 2017 which dropped the PSA to 4.6 by July 2018. PSA took off again at this time and was then offered Docatexel as standard of care.

How many of you would pay $2200 for a 3 month supply of Zytiga?
Since
Casodex
and Zytiga block androgens from essentially the same areas (adrenal glands and the tumors themselves), do you think there is any more value in starting Zytiga or should I see how much lower psa will go with
Casodex
? There are no grants out there for Zytiga from Jansen at this time.

My first post
I was diagnosed with MBC June of last year at age 79 and I am still in shock. I was on Tamoxifen for 3 months which made the breast lump bigger. I am now on Ibrance and Faslodex and so far show shrinkage in breast and 2 lymph nodes lumps. Aside from occasional tiredness and nausea, no other side effects

Lupron Side Effects?
Has anyone experienced having TIA's while on
Casodex

Taking Ibrance and Faslodex
Hi I am new to this forum. I am on the verge of making a decision whether I should take Ibrance or not. I just restarted Faslodex injection again. I was on it for 4 years and stopped all treatment for 2 years and now the breast cancer has spread to liver and lymph node. My oncologist wants me to take

My Father restarted his third round of hormone blockade ON 22.11.18 (Firmagon and Zytiga) He used
Casodex
on his first round with Firmagon. Second round was Firmagon and Zytiga only. His starting PSA when diagnosed was 433 in February 2014.

Faslodex lumps??
Last treatment (1month ago today) I developed large lumps at both injection sites. When I say large I mean ovoid, the width of my palm with the length up to the last joint of my fingertips. Today-treatment day, I still have 1” size knots at the sites. Nurse told me it was not uncommon with people who

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.

Looking for a second opinion, probably from Sloan-Kettering Medical Oncologist
Multiple prostate biopsies and scans could not find the cancer until nodules in the lungs were considered suspicious and I started taking
Casodex
in June 2017. That brought my PSA down to single digits but mets in the sacrum appeared soon after.

Support by drug? I want to stay here, I don’t feel so afraid with this group.
I was happy to find this site and have gotten to know some of the people by their posts. I couldn’t tolerate Ibrance so I’m now on verzenio which is working much better for me. I just couldn’t breathe on Ibrance and I tried to force myself to take it because it works so well on the cancer. I was diagnosed
