Weight up index down.
My weight is up and Index down. I’m really gaining weight. Not water wt. just eating more. I guess that’s good because the Faslodex injections you need a little fat.😮 I hope all you ladies are doing well.

MOs for some perspective and second opinion??
We zapped the met with SBRT and I’m currently on Lupron and
Casodex
. I have a very smart MO at Dana Farber in Boston, but he is “conventional.” He wants to try six months of ADT and see what happens. I asked about Metformin and he said no good evidence. Hmmm.

Natural supplements used as Adjuvant Therapy with Lupron (only) by 6 year Stage IV, G8, PSA 0.06, Patient
For the first 3 1/2 years of hormone therapy treatment (diagnosed in late 2012) my wife and I resided in AZ where my urologist had me on
Casodex
pills and Lupron 6-month shots. My schedule of Lupron shots and
Casodex
was intermittent: six months on, six months off.

Xtandi stomach side effects
Lupron was continued but in a few months psa started to rise. along the way
Casodex
was added with minimal effect. It was decided to start Xtandi because Cancer showed definite signs of Androgen resistance mutation. I was able to receive patient assistance for the incredible cost of Xtandi.

Can Faslodex cause flare ups?
Hope everyone here had a great weekend. I’m really feeling tired on Faslodex? Did anyone else have this? I’m sure it’s the combination of cancer and Faslodex. I think the mind plays tricks because before I new the cancer had returned I was not tired. I’m hoping just flare ups causing this and not more

Beware of nose sprays
So after 3 doctors I had to figure out myself that i was having major issues with my non steroid nose spray. I went off of it and went back to Nasonex. What an improvement! My mouth is getting back to normal now. So thankful! But my ENT had my sinuses scanned. He found a cyst or polyp and now I have

Faslodex and weight gain?
Another question? I would like to know if anyone on Faslodex has gained weight? I gained 2 pounds and was reading Faslodex causes weight gain. I’m not worried about a few pounds but some said 20 pounds... I know I have gotten older but don’t need extra weight to slow me down more. I know that’s a small

EO up
Hey everyone, had my Faslodex second injections yesterday no pain. My blood work is back to normal except my EO Went from 2.2 to 8.1 in 2 weeks. It was normal before my Faslodex injection. Has anyone else had this with Faslodex? It says infection or sinus can cause increase. Now I’m worried the Faslodex

Update on myself and looking for all of your wisdom out there.
After 6 rounds of chemo, daily
casodex
, 2 Lupron shots. Went from 138 psa, down to .09. My MO then started the Zytiga, prednisone, and continual lupron shots. Went to 1.71 then 3.71 and now 7.78. I also had a colonoscopy two weeks ago.

PSA dropping but pain
My husband has been Lupron,
casodex
and finished upfront Docetaxel( 6 cycles finished in October). DX metastatic 2/1/2017 with PSA of 1044 at 47 yrs old. His PSA has steadily dropped to 2.4 as of 6 weeks ago. This week he’s experiencing pain in his back and ribs.

According to mother, they tried
casodex

Post Radiation PSA Questions
Also, I have been on hormone therapy (Bicalutamide/
casodex
) for the past 6 months. Radiation oncologist said there were no studies for Bicalutamide for less than 2 years. When I told doc that I want to quit the Bicalutamide, he responded that was up to me as a “quality of life” decision.

A month of Casodex monotherapy
Did a month of
Casodex
monotherapy and got down to 3.0 and T at 291 - up 40 from last month. Same lab. maybe an outlier. Was braced for another PSA doubling, but will be spared an ADT reboot at least for another month. Have a MedOnc appt on Friday.
