Asking Local MO to add Avodart and Metformin to Xtandi
My husband takes Xtandi and recently they added
Casodex
again. Because so many here have mentioned adding Avodart and/or Metformin to Xtandi, I need some tips to convince the MO. She doesn't specialize in PCa. I also want to double check why
Casodex
was added. Thanks in advance. Mary

I am curently on hormone therapy, lupron shot once a month and
casodex
daily. My Psa is undetectable according to my urologist and T is close to 40. My last bone scan looked good to my docs, nothing new and some regresion. I dont know if my Url. and Onc. specialize in pca.

Not good news for me today.
At my initial diagnosis last August, I was immediately started on
casodex
along with 6 infusions of taxotere. I will now stop all current treatment and in 3 weeks will start a clinical trial of oral combination, cediranib and olaparib, or just olaparib depending on my full body MRI next week.

Dad's journey
Dad's PSA dropped to 14 in September 2017, so the Lupron and
Casodex
did their job extremely well and in a very short time period too. Pet scan in October 2017 showed several lymph nodes (I think 4 or 5) over his body affected and enlarged.

What's my next line of defense?
At this time I was told to stop taking the daily hormone medication Biclutamide (
Casodex
). Per my oncologist, the Biclutamide (
Casodex
) should have been eliminated/stopped in September 2016 when I started Xtandi (Enzalutamide). This was over-looked.

72 y/o Dad has Stage 4, Mets. Looking for your BEST ADVICE on treatment.
.* Kaiser says Lupron, and
Casodex
, radiotherapy for pain. I hear Lupron has heart risk so not happy with that. I believe he should do Zytiga and Zolodex. What hormone treatment works best for stage 4 D2? Radio yes? Other advice? Zolodex? Zytiga? What combo is best?

Xtandi Side Effects and The BS of 4 Caps Per Day
Casodex
dosing is 50 mg - 100mg - 150mg...I read a paper where the maximum safe dose during trials many times becomes the rec'd dose. That does not means a lesser dose is ineffective.

Is Taking Casodex and Xtandi ok?
He had orchiectomy but hid testosterone isn’t as low as the urologist would like so he suggested to add
Casodex
. I did a quick search and found no contraindications but wanted to check with the experts here. Thanks

Pubic bone fractures in advanced mPC
Started ADT (
casodex
, lupron), zoledronic acid for bones. Had a radiation session too. A few days ago, he developed another fracture this time on the right pubic bone, a bit bigger one. Now very difficult to walk and he's so much in pain with only temporary relief from painkillers.

Weight up index down.
My weight is up and Index down. I’m really gaining weight. Not water wt. just eating more. I guess that’s good because the Faslodex injections you need a little fat.😮 I hope all you ladies are doing well.

After 16 years, Chemo last line of treatment.
Surgery Feb 2002 came back a year later, Lupron +
casodex
failed 2 years later, Meyers protocol Leukine + Ketoconozale + Estrogen patches worked for a very long time, Zytiga did not work, Radiation followed by Provenge gave me a PSA of less than 0.02 and a long remission, XGEVA is ongoing for bone health

MOs for some perspective and second opinion??
We zapped the met with SBRT and I’m currently on Lupron and
Casodex
. I have a very smart MO at Dana Farber in Boston, but he is “conventional.” He wants to try six months of ADT and see what happens. I asked about Metformin and he said no good evidence. Hmmm.

Natural supplements used as Adjuvant Therapy with Lupron (only) by 6 year Stage IV, G8, PSA 0.06, Patient
For the first 3 1/2 years of hormone therapy treatment (diagnosed in late 2012) my wife and I resided in AZ where my urologist had me on
Casodex
pills and Lupron 6-month shots. My schedule of Lupron shots and
Casodex
was intermittent: six months on, six months off.

Xtandi stomach side effects
Lupron was continued but in a few months psa started to rise. along the way
Casodex
was added with minimal effect. It was decided to start Xtandi because Cancer showed definite signs of Androgen resistance mutation. I was able to receive patient assistance for the incredible cost of Xtandi.

Can Faslodex cause flare ups?
Hope everyone here had a great weekend. I’m really feeling tired on Faslodex? Did anyone else have this? I’m sure it’s the combination of cancer and Faslodex. I think the mind plays tricks because before I new the cancer had returned I was not tired. I’m hoping just flare ups causing this and not more

Beware of nose sprays
So after 3 doctors I had to figure out myself that i was having major issues with my non steroid nose spray. I went off of it and went back to Nasonex. What an improvement! My mouth is getting back to normal now. So thankful! But my ENT had my sinuses scanned. He found a cyst or polyp and now I have
