Faslodex/Ibrance ...last PET/CT scan
Happy Holidays to my fellow warriors. I wanted to share the results of my latest scan. Original Diagnosos in December 2016 was Multiple Mets in Spine and lungs. My last scan in August showed new activity in T4 and a possible (probable-new tumor in T3. ) I had been treated with Ibrance/Letrozole which

Enzalutamide Resistant already?
After my husband's PSA did not respond to zytiga, after rising post docetaxel while on Lupron and
Casodex
, he was switched to Enzalutamide. His PSA went from 6 to 1.0 ( August to September 12) in a month, now a month later( September 12-October 28) it's already back up to 1.6.

My latest update
My previous reading of 1.00 and the the new reading varied by only 2.0% which was insignificant which, in my opinion, showed that the
Casodex
had not worked. I was persuaded to give it three months. I also complained about soreness in my right groin.

Confused and scared!
Hi everyone ! I have been on faslodex and ibrance for two and a half years for bone Mets, doing well.

Low estrogen level, no progesterone
I am new to this group and have metastatic breast cancer, diagnosed in May, 2017. My original liver biopsy found no estrogen so we assumed I was triple negative. A recent bone biopsy found estrogen but the level was low, less than 20%. Is anyone being treated with Ibrance and Faslodex despite having

Thoughts on BAT
I have concluded that it has reversed the resistance that had built up to ADT (gnhr agonist zolodex) +bicalutamide (
Casodex
). Its about 6 months since I rechallenged the beast with bicalutamide after PSA started rising at the end of the BAT.

Faslodex and next steps
Well, we were debating between xeloda and faslodex for a week. But, 3 opinions say faslodex. The 3rd dr said “it probably won’t work but there is a small chance it may”. He explained that some tumors that are hormone driven have something like ESR1 protein that make it resistant to hormone therapies

Well, if you’ve followed my messages, you’ll know I always try to stay positive and keep a good attitude. But...after Ibrance/letrozole surprised me by failing at 4 months- I went into this appt expecting the worst. So, the good news is that it wasn’t THAT bad. But...Afinitor and Exastamene did not

Faslodex discomfort
Hi all. Can anyone currently on faslodex tell me how you get through the discomfort of the injections? My last injections were so painful they brought tears to my eyes. I ended up with two welts one on each side. It has been two weeks and I still have discomfort and sensitivity in those two areas

Faslodex
I am almost 73 and am wondering how many of you taking faslodex are post menopausal? It seems like it is a stronger hormone blocker than letrozole. I am currently taking Ibrance/Letrozole. Blessings, Hannah.

Switch from Firmagon to Zoladex
He would like my testosterone to be lower so is switching me to
Casodex
and Zoladex. For background, I'm Gleason 4+4 and cancer in lymph nodes but not distant mets, planning on EBRT in a month. Anyone had this switch and any thoughts that my testosterone should be lower. Thanks.

Newly Diagnosed
My final stop on this journey was with a MO who started me on Lupron with
Casodex
. I will be starting Zytiga with prednisone and Xgeva. We added the Xgeva because there is apparently a "suspect" area in my right femur.

Low dose chemo + HT?
My Urologist (Kaiser) wants to alter on/off HT (
Casodex
+ Lupron) al long as these numbers are low. But I am thinking that while the numbers are low to also add in low dose Chemo (10-15%) Any thoughts on this?

Shorter time castrate resistant = Zytiga and Xtandi will last even less than first line ADT?
Not always the case, my father became castrate resistant in 2 months with
Casodex
but is currently on almost his 5th month on Zytiga and doing well so far, so if you fail first line ADT it doesn't necessarily mean that 2nd line ADT will last less.

disappointed
So after 10 months of taking Ibrance and letrozole I have two new liver lesions. The next step for me is Faslodex and a pill I can't remember the name. (just saw doctor yesterday). What side effects should I expect from the faslodex as I'm an academic coach (teacher) and still working. Also, is anyone
