No appetite after chemo
He is also on Loupron ,
Casodex
and Prednisone. Made it thru the Neulasta bone aches and the other side effects but he says food doesn't taste right. He is hungry. How long does this last and will his taste come back before his next treatment on Dec.26.

Lupron and antiandrogen monotherapy to avoid castrate resistant pc and increase survival and better quality of life
When
casodex
fails to extend off cycle of lupron would exstandi do the same or even the older antiandrogen, nilutamide or even rechallenge with
casodex
after another cycle lupron This therapy keeps the testosterone intact longer and even raises it during the antiandrogen monotherapy phase thus keeping

Jevtana [Cabazitaxel] & Androgen Status.
(d) An antiandrogen such as
Casodex
of Xtandi, if not resistant, will inhibit AR activity. (e) Zytiga, if not resistant, will prevent the conversion of pregnenolone and progesterone to androgens.

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and I felt like I was reading about myself for the most part. I started out in 2012 with breast cancer stage 2. Right now my brain isn't working very well but I wanted to introduce myself to all of you. I did the chemo and 40rounds of radiation. I though everything

IMAGING TO STAGE
Hormone Lupron and
Casodex
. Gleason 6/7 with lymph node found on 3 tesla MRI. CT guided biopsy of node positive. So Stage III. 80 Centigray to prostate external beam and 60 to lymph node. PSA was only 7-8 pre treatment. Had I not had the MRI, I would be Stage IIb.

My Father's Journey / Interest in High Dose Testoserone
Using Degarelix,
Casodex
, Dutesteride and Finisteride. Scans in Germany revealed no bone metastasis and no PCa in any organs. But several lymph nodes were involved. After one year of TAB my Father’s PSA was 0.24.

Should I Pay for Enzalutamide
In the meantime, urologist has added
Casodex
to my Zolodex. He did say that Enzalutamide is much better, but in Australia it is not covered by PBS until you have had chemo (and PSA is rising). He did say that some men self-fund Enza, it costs $4k per month.

Xtandi/Enzalutamide & Curcumin/Turmeric
It binds to the androgen receptor [AR], but unlike
Casodex
, the AR does not translocate to the nucleus. Also unlike
Casodex
, Xtandi remains an AR antagonist (
Casodex
can eventually become an agonist for mutant AR).

I am new to faslodex
Hi I seem to be posting almost exclusively because I have been put on a new treatment and not often enough replying to others! I have been stage 4 almost from the get-go. Had laradex for almost 3 years then Xeloda for a year and for the last 3 months Navelbine. At some point each has failed and my CEA

Nasal Spray
Just picked-up a repeat prescription from my GPs for a Nasal Spray - Mometasone (50micrograms). I always use the same pharmacy and have been dispensed 'Nasonex' against the previous 2 prescriptions. Now they say they cannot dispense 'Nasonex' and have given me 'Mometasone Furoate', which they say is

Experience with Xtandi
Have done the ususal regimen: radiation, seeds,
casodex
, etc. Been on Lupron and Xgeva ( for bone mets) for 6 years and got 5years out of Zytiga and now on Xtandi 2 mos ago and PSA has been stuck at 15-16. If no drop at next lab test, my Onco will start something else.

Introduction
He was then also started on
casodex
, and the last PSA test a week ago was 0.73..... We are now hoping it stays there for a long time, and hopefully in the meantime some other drugs can be found to help beat this thing completely !
