Fasting Blood Sugar Rising on Casodex Monotherapy
I have been on
Casodex
monotherapy (50 mg) for about 75 days. I was diagnosed in 2002 and had no treatment until the
Casodex
. My PSA has come down incrementally from 950 to 60. However my fasting blood sugar has risen from 105 to 121. My A1c a month before I started
Casodex
was 6.5.

PSA "undetectable" after one month on ADT; What about the PCa?
After only one month on Lupron + 50mg
Casodex
, PSA is now <0.05 "undetectable". No side effects (yet). I assume it's great for the PSA to drop to "undetectable" in a month, but do we know what effect this has had on the PCa during this month?

Dad stage 4 prostate cancer
Since then he has had taxotere,
casodex
, iliguard, zytiga, xtandi, another round of taxotere and getting ready to have second treatment with jevtana. Oncologist says this is the last of the drugs unless there’s a clinica trial. Is this really the end?

Prostate cancer G9 local lymph node positive. Pos margin.
So I started
casodex
/dutasteride (150mg caso a day and 0.5mg duta). Libido is better than zero but still very very low. Strength loss seems to have reversed but perhaps too early to tell (I've been on this combo for 13 days).

My news on Fenbendazole
Yesterday I received the results of my bloodwork since I started Fenbendazole on August 16 and was so happy and relieved that my tumor markers went down CA15-3 from 55.44 to 44.74 and CEA from 15.86 to 15.08. My liver enzymes, creatinine, BUN and CBC were all normal (well normal for my ANC is 1.065)

faslodex
Has anyone had sciatic nerve pain from nurse injecting faslodex shot in sciatic nerve, rather than the buttock muscles. If so, how long did the pain last. I read that this is sometimes done accidentally. It scares me. Blessings, Hannah

Not gaining weight on Lupron
Currently, I am on Lupron plus
Casodex
since November 2018 for metastatic prostate cancer in pelvic and abdominal lymph nodes. This time I have not gained any weight. As a matter of fact I have lost a few pounds.

Casodex, Colonoscopy and the PSA
2.) also, if i feel no noticeable symptoms while taking the
casodex
, does that mean the medicine is not working?

Recurrent Prostate Cancer??
I had hormone therapy with
Casodex
150, followed by Radiation treatment for a 7 week period from March to August 2011. After treatment, my PSA fell to a level around 1, and was constant at a level between 0.5 and 1.5 up to 2018.

Problems with Zytiga / Prednisone
Hi All, I was put on Zytiga and Prednisone by my oncologist about six weeks ago after being on ADT and
casodex
. My onc said that adding Zytiga would extend life. Before starting with the Zytiga and being on adt plus
casodex
, my PSA was .2 and T was 290.

Advice needed please.
He has since done three rounds of intermittent hormone therapy since, and he is currently on Zytiga and Firmagon after
Casodex
previously failed last year. However for the first time his PSA has gone up whilst on Zytiga. From 20 to 32.

Good Scan Results
Went for bone, Mammo, and chest abdomen and pelvic ct last week. Was so lit up with all the contrast and isotopes. Tough long day that I basically read and meditated my way through. Got results yesterday and they’re very good. On Faslodex each scan gets better. Nothing new, everything shrunk. I have
