Now my cancer is now under control, my wife no longer wants to be with me.
I went straight on
Casodex
and 2 years of Eligard shots. 9 rounds of Docetaxel, kidney stents and VMAT radiation therapy. Following my last PET scan, no new growth was evident and my PSA has been under 1.0 for the last 18 months.

73, RP 2021, BCR peaked PSA 2.2 2023, scrambling
Just got Lupron 8/30 and phasing off
Casodex
to avoid T flare 9/17. MO says plan is to stabilize then add Abiraterone/Prednisone, worried a bit about blood pressure. Is BAT a viable way to push out the castration resistance window?

Questions about ADT drugs and insurance
As for
Casodex
, I believe it is a relatively inexpensive/generic drug and thus much cheaper also only given at the beginning of hormone treatment...correct? Thank you! Joe

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
A repeat psa on 12/5/23 revealed his psa had risen to .273 (so a definite biochemical occurence).My husband's surgical oncologist at Yale immediately referred him to a Medical Oncologist who started him on
Casodex
followed by Lupron two weeks later.

Casodex
Is anyone doing only
Casodex
for their ADT together with their salvage rad? Are there any disadvantages for a six month course? Seems like it would make T recovery less of a problem.

Side effects experienced once you add Zytiga to Orgovyx
He is almost done with 28 Proton Radiation treatments, was on
Casodex
a few weeks then started Orgovyx.( at least two years recommended) He is considering adding Zytiga. He has met with one MO and is planning to meet with another MO for a second opinion.

Treatment options
His report was sent to my brother’s oncologist and he immediately received a Lupron shot and started taking
Casodex
per instructions from the other doctor. At this time the PET scan showed the cancer had moved to the sacrum area and now my brother can barely walk and has a catheter.

confused
Eligard shot,
Casodex
for a month and 33 EBRT treatments. Psa dropped to undetectable with the addition ( immediately after radiation ) of Erleada. Remains the same to this day. Still on both meds. My question is about the scans. Couldn’t get a straight answer from my MO.

puzzled with Orgovyx
I was on
casodex
for 2 years then it slowly stopped working. My PSA shot up to 37. Then Doc said to try orgovyx. Started orgovyx last month. This is starting my second month. When I started orgovyx, my PSA was 37.

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
Switch to xtandi or
Casodex
5. Try docetaxel, which works by directly killing cancer cells, but can have substantial side effects, 6. Try Cabazitaxel chemo used together with prednisoneto other parts of the body (metastatic).

Casodex after castration resistance?
The doctor recommended to add
Casodex
. After a month, in April his PSA was 0.024 and testosterone was 0.9. I have two questions: 1) How relevant is using
Casodex
at this stage?

Newly diagnosed with N1M1a
My father is given the option to start
Casodex
for 1.5 weeks before ADT or start ADT directly. Do folks think
Casodex
is worth to take while waiting to get 2nd opinions? Thanks a lot!

Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
He stayed on Lupron and
Casodex
for five years until it failed and he had 2/3 rounds of provenge (covid interfered 🙄) and started on Xtandi. He was on Xtandi for three years when his PSA started to rise. It went from .07 to 2.38.

My story of my 23 year battle with Pca.
I gave him the go ahead and started
Casodex
for thirty days and half way through that I started monthly Lupron injections. My Psa by now was 5664. It came down to 278 in a month and over the course of the next 9 months dropped to 6.6 which is as far as it dropped. This was March 2023.

experience with ADT, specifically Casodex followed by Eligard shots?
The RO is recommending a 30 day treatment of
Casodex
hormone therapy concurrent with PET scan scheduling, followed by injections every 4 months of Eligard for 2 years or so. Radiation to follow in about 6 months (5 weeks, 25 sessions at a rate of 68 gray).

Bicalutamide (Casodex) then Eligard - Question
OK, Another quick question. I've been on Bical for 11 days and in 3 days I get my first 1 month injection of Eligard. I have had almost zero side effects with Bical, maybe a little extra fatigue but hardly noticeable. Does this mean that perhaps I will tolerate Eligard better than what some people experience

Casodex query
When I went to collect my script the Pharmacist noticed that along with the Decapeptyl there was a six month supply of
Casodex
We both failed to contact my MO for an explanation, Can anybody give me an idea as to what or why I got a six month supply… I thought it might be a 4 week supply of

Blood work on radiation and Lupron
Background Started Lupron 6 weeks prior to radiation and
Casodex
one week before that to reduce the spike of testosterone. Next week will be my last of 20 radiation treatments.
