My husband (GL 9, PSA 77, 3-4 bone mets-diagnosed 8/19 -
Casodex
, Eligard, Zytiga/prednisone, plus radiation) had a CT and bone scan yesterday. Nothing of consequence on the CT. Bone scan showed “Focus of minimally increased uptake in T7 decreased conspicuity. No other significant interval change.

Faslodex
Hi ladies. So I have been on ibrance and faslodex for almost 5 years with small issues with fatigue. But this month the shots did me in 4 days after taking them. The fatigue was so bad I couldn’t even get out of bed. Has anyone had this happened. Feeling a little better today which is a week after shots

Faslodex side effects?
My oncologist switched me to Faslodex (Fuverstrant) after 2-1/2 years on Letrozole/Ibrance combo as my cancer antigen marker went up to 50. So far some fatigue, some difficulty sleeping and occasional heat flush. What side effects have others had? I got my first injections, one in each butt cheek,

IS A Post-SBRT bounce similar to primary radiation tx. bounce?
Had HT (Lupron +
Casodex
). Great response, Enough to do HT vacations after a year. When PSA would start rising, did best scans at the time (C11 Scan at Mayo in 2014; Ga-68 PSMA scan at Umich in 2018). Each scan found 1 or 2 hot ext. abdominal node. SBRT each time.

Excruciating Pain!
Last Friday I had severe pain. I’ve been laying in bed most of the week as the pain walking is unbearable. My husband took me to Immediate care and after an X-ray. They say it’s schlerosis in the L4 vertebrae that’s impinging on a nerve. Other than taking ibuprofen and acetaminophen there is no solution

Hi everyone, my last scan showed some progression so I’m off Ibrance and faslodex (only got 13 months with that combo) now on Everolimus and exemestane. Anyone have any experiences to share? Hopefully good ones? Thanks Patty

Hormone therapy…
Hi ladies. I’ve noticed lots of you ladies are on Faslodex. What is the difference between Letrozole and Faslodex. I’ve googled it and it says it the same hormone therapy. Then why some people here on Faslodex? Is it better in terms of tolerance and why shots? Thank you, Saba

What next?
After one month of
Casodex
I started on Lupron and Erleada (Apalutamide) and had a PSMA/PET scan followed by 6 x 6 GY radiation to my prostate in Dec. 2020. For the past year my PSA has been undetectable (<0.008).

New Data: Finasteride Safely Prevents Prostate Cancer'These Results Are Transformational,' Says Researcher May 20, 2018
Casodex
blocks the cell receptors so they cannot get T entirely also. Avadart /finasteride only blocks the ability to convert T to DHT and allows the body to make and use T consequently no CRPC / bone loss/ heart / dementia etc. M D Anderson admitted that ADT does not extend OS or cure PCa.

Switching from Faslodex to Xeloda
Hi All, I hope your journeys will be easy this week. I had my every-six-months CT scan a couple of weeks ago. The results were pretty good, but there seems to be some development in and about my liver. At my appointment this morning, the oncologist reported that he is switching me off the hormonal

Ibrance and faslodex
Hi. Just wondering if anyone went off these two meds because they stopped working after years and then went back on them and they worked again. I read a article from Dana Farber in Boston and it looked interesting. Thanks so much. M

They are now at 38 and my doctor said I might have to change meds. I just don’t get it if my scans are stable but the

Night Sweats from Faslodex
Hi everyone, I have been experiencing night sweats and the occasional hot flash presumably a side effect of Faslodex. I have been getting it since September, but this has not been an issue until recently. I wake up and my night gown is too damp to wear and the worst part is my shoulder length hair is
