Rezvilutamide: new anti-androgen is better than Casodex added to ADT for newly diagnosed high-met HSPC. But is field too crowded?
They randomized patients with 4 or more bone metastases to Rezvilutamide+ADT or
Casodex
+ADT. It increased 2-year radiographic progression-free survival by 56% and 2-year overall survival by 42%. It also significantly increased time to castration resistance by 79%.

Dumb Question on Casodex
Four weeks of
Casodex
50 mg alone reduced my PSA from 1.10 to 0.42.
Casodex
stops testosterone from all sources from binding to cancer cells. While Lupron decreases testosterone produced by the testicles. Why shouldn't
Casodex
be better than Lupron?

Verzenio loss of taste
Hi Ladies, I’ve been on been on Faslodex and Verzenio since August 2022 for MBC and after 3 months developed altered/loss of taste. I also was recently diagnosed with hyperthyroid and don’t know if that has anything to do with it. It’s been maddening ! Has anyone else experienced this and what have

Between a rock and another rock...
Was just told by my uro-onc that
Casodex
is about to kill me by shutting down my liver, based on 3 liver enzyme readings (ALT=177; AST=144; ALK.PH.=482). If I stop taking it, PCa will kill me. Right now, PSA is undetectable.

platlets
hi ladies. Strange thing happened the other day. I have been on ibrance and faslodex for over 5 years and usually all my blood work is good but this time my platlets were 515 and should be 440. My doctor isn’t concerned but of course I am. Has anyone ever had this issue. Thanks so much. Marianne

does Ibrance cause gastritis? FODMAP diet helps diarrhea from Ibrance.
I have estrogen positive MBC since 2018 and on Ibrance and Faslodex since that time. I have been in remission for 18 months. one year ago I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which showed severe stomach inflammation. My symptoms were persistent nausea and frequent diarrhea. I took a course of proton pump

Introducing myself. Have mostly lurked for a couple of months, but time to formally say I'm here and start asking my own questions.
The ONLY treatment I've had to date for the PCa is an ELIGARD injection, no
Casodex
or Xtandi, etc. yet. I've already met with an MO and an RO, but both are waiting for a pelvic bone biopsy before finalizing plans, but the RO's propose treatment is in my profile.

Dad has brain cancer, heart issues, and now PSA has increased. Concerned about medication complications..
He had 6 rounds of chemo and began on Lupron +
Casodex
. That worked for five years until his PSA started increasing again and he was able to receive a two of three rounds of Provenge immunotherapy (the last round was cancelled due to Covid just starting in March 2020).

Who has ESR1 how are you doing
I just developed the ESR1 mutation and went on Faslodex and switched to Kisquali. I was wondering if anyone has this mutation and how your meds working. I’m only looking to hear about ESR1 stories and if it impacted your treatment or progression and how you are doing. If you do not have the mutation

tumor markers rising but scans show tumors stable/ shrinking?
Hello! So my tumor markers have been going up for the last 3 months but the last set of scans showed everything stable/shrinking. I feel well. I have lobular so I know it can be sneaky. I have been on Faslodex and Ibrance for a year. Doc doesn’t want to change med because of tumor markers. (

Ending ADT Vacation
I had been on 50 mg
Casodex
for 4 weeks before this Lupron shot. Originally, it was planned for a 2 week on
Casodex
. Unfortunately, 2 weeks extended to 4 weeks because my wife got Covid 19 after a trip to London. On June 1 my PSA was 1.10 and testosterone 163.

Faslodex and hip pain
Does anyone experience severe hip pain after faslodex shots? Not at the injection site, just muscle/nerve pain in hip area.

not sure my Onco (or I)understood the Denmeade BAT paper.
Casodex
only one month (PSA 33) Lupron (PSA Nadir 0.76) Lupron + Zytiga, Orchiectomy + Zytiga (PSA Nadir with Zytiga = 2.74) Zytiga failed but continued with Zytiga because of lengthy delay in obtaining Xtandi. By the time I got the XTandi from India my PSA was 67.

Casodex
/Lupron initial treatment or wait to see if you are having S.E. ? Does primary doc do this or ask RO/MO team?
