Good appointment!
I had my CMP done and ALT was only thing that was higher at 49. My Ca 2729 was down only 7 but I’m only taking Faslodex. I got my Faslodex injections and tolerated well. No need for scans as I haven’t been on anything to test. Now September is when I start something but not sure what. I believe all of

I would now have
Casodex
added to Zoladex my PSA checked in two months. I asked about Zytega ot Xtandi but was lold that there required special approval on the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme as they Chemotherapy. I didn't think they were.

Day of Reckoning
ADT treatment of
Casodex
and Lupron started in March. Just had second Lupron shot ten days ago. He’s about 1/3 done with 40 EBRT sessions. All along, my husband has said he feels no different from how he was prior to diagnosis and ADT. He claimed to be totally devoid of ADT side effects.

Introducing Myself
I immediately started on Lipton and
casodex
followed by 39 treatments of external beam radiation finishing in in 9/17. Since then I have had undetectable PSA with the normal side effects from Lipton. Fatigue is an ongoing issue and I can only imagine it would be without 4-4 gym trips per week.

Need prayers Faslodex only!
Hey ladies, just wanted you to know that I just came from the oncologist. Blood work excellent, weight good. However I can’t take Verzenino due to my body rejecting it. So I’ll be on Faslodex only until September. Please pray that I can get markers down and keep on fighting till we can find something

Prostate Cancer Stage 4 Metastasized
Jan 31 18 MRI showed one suspicious bone lesion in the hip area. 2/14/18 started Lupron 22.5 every 1/4 along with
Casodex
. 5/16/18 2nd MRI/BONE scan shows uptake on bones. I have been taken off the
Casodex
still on Lupron. May be switching over to Zytiga.

Low Iron in Blood
He immediately started with ADT and
Casodex
and had microsurgery in February for a prostate and pelvic nodes removal. He quickly responded to ADT and PSA dropped to 0.06. One week ago he started with Zytiga + Predisone and he is really tired.

What next after chemo fails
He then started
Casodex
but it did not work so he was prescribed Enzalutamide, this worked well for almost 2 years but then PSA started to climb and scans revealed bone mets and he had 5 Radium 223 treatments. Further scans showed spots in the abdomen.

PSA 209 originally 42 months ago now undetectable still
My Dr. thinks that as long as
Casodex
keeps working to stay on it before considering Zytiga and/or Xtanti

Update to my treatment & A question
No surgery, 45 IMRT radiation treatments and ADT2 (
Casodex
& Eligard) After 6 weeks off of the ADT my PSA remains near the Nadir 0.48. Testosterone = only 9.9 virtually nothing. Oncologist happy but there has been no increase in energy and hot flashes continue.

Faslodex alone?
Does anyone know if they can use Faslodex alone for mbc? The reason I ask is because I’m having a hard time with the class of drugs Ibrance and Verzenio. I want some quality of life at this point. I’m 63 and can’t even enjoy a dinner with my husband due to nausea and weakness. Any suggestions? I go back

Dr. Myers Was Right About Supplements
Before I got a hold of Xtandi I used
Casodex
50 mg monotherapy...worked really well...kept PSA at <.1. Instead of all the pills I tried powders....Food Science of Vermont Purple Power, Red Power, Yellow Power, Green Power.
