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. (

tingling/numb fingers
I read tingling is a listed
Casodex
side effect. Very reluctant to stop use because PSA remains very low. Anyone else experience this with bicalutamide (
casodex
)? Did it get worse - spread? Did it go away? Any supplement or drug therapy help?

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.

Continue Casodex or move to Lupron?
What do you all think about continuing
Casodex
and watch the numbers monthly? If it rises, back on Lupron of course. But if
Casodex
is keeping it at bay, much fewer side effects to deal with. Is 1.6 a livable number, or should I go full-on Lupron and get it to 0?

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%.

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).

The hospital doctor has started him on
Casodex

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?

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.

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.

Transdermal low dose patch Estradiol for ADT S.E.
start using it right away with
Casodex
/Lupron initial treatment or wait to see if you are having S.E. ? Does primary doc do this or ask RO/MO team?

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.

Orgavyx vs Lupron/Casodex
I've done Lupron/
Casodex
before and the cost is very reasonable. In fact, I've already reached my yearly out-of-pocket ins. max and assuming my early Dec. PSA continues upward, if I do the usual at the doctor's office, my cost will be ZERO. Still, Dr. Lam is recommending Orgavyx.

DOES MEDICARE COVER DEXA SCANS FOR MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER
I have been on
Casodex
and Eligard since June 2022. My PSA was still high after RALP so I had a GA-68 PSMA PET Scan done which revealed one 11mm tumor in the Left pelvic Lymph Nodes and one 7mm Tumor in the Right pelvic Lymph Nodes. Those were the only 2 hot spots in my body.

Treatment Options for Gynecomastia
I have also been on
Casodex
for the last one month, which made the problem worse. What are treatment options for gynecomastia. My oncologist mentioned surgery. Would that be a temporary solution because I need to continue taking Lupron?
