Saw a newly diagnosed man's PSA go from 400+ to .61.
He took
Casodex
to prevent a "flare" and started Lupron. Also had one Zometa infusion. Then, per the CHAARTED trial results (favoring earlier rather than later chemo), just had his 1st round of docetaxel. His PSA went from 400+ to 12 to .61. An excellent response, so far, to start his journey.

Introduction - 56 years old, stage 4 - bone mets, lymph node and likely lung involvement
I have been on
Casodex
(50 mg per day) for 4 + weeks, and had my three month Lupron shot two weeks ago. The pain is dissipating rapidly and my "slow flow" is getting much better.

Chemical vs surgical ADT.....
I read so much on here about ADT with Lupron,
Casodex
or whatever. I had an Orchedectomy shortly after diagnosis, so when my PSA starts to climb would adding an ADT regimen help me??? There's some topics on here about casturation but mostly just chemicle casturation.

Running out of treatment options? Thoughts?
I have done
casodex
, Lupron , zytiga , 3 chemo ( cabazitaxol, carboplatinum, Etoposide) and currently on olaparib ( parp inhibitor targeted for Brca2 gene mutation which I am positive for) I don't think olaparib is working and now thinking about the next treatment.

Ovaries
I have been stage 4 breast cancer for a little over a year, my past few scans have shown a cyst on my ovary, then send for MRI which classified it as a "complex" cyst, last cat scan classified it as a "suspicious" mass, too make a long story short they have decided to take out my ovaries next week, but

First Chemo and Lupron
My onc said that being on
casodex
50mg for 7 days lowered my PSA from 435 to 210. The side effects so far is mainly fatigue. I make it a point to be as active such as taking walks and do light stretching and it has helped tremendously. Lack of appetite is clearly present.

Ibrance after anti-hormone drugs?
Hello, I have bone mets. Am Est+ and have cycled through Arimidex, Tamoxifen, Faslodex shots, and am now on Xeloda for almost 2 years. My Oncologist wants to put me on Ibrance with Letrozole next, but a consulting Oncologist says NO! She says that Ibrance is strictly used as 1st or 2nd line drugs in

Casodex Discontinued to start Taxotere
He has remained on
Casodex
, and we received a call yesterday to stop the
Casodex
and delay 1st Taxotere x 4 weeks (pushed to April 18). Working with Drs out of Shadyside Hospital/Hilmann Center. Thoughts on stopping
Casodex
? Urologist says no issue, "
Casodex
isn't doing much after orchiectomy."

Hello Asthma friends
Spring turned into winter with fresh snow on the mountains. I am aching a lot. Apart from all the tests under the sun, like coloscopy and immunology, things are better. I am tapering down the Seretide 250mg. They are not sure I have asthma. They think it is the dyspnea from the LAM (lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Dr. Edward Friedman - The Man Who Claims PCa is Caused by Estradiol
He bases some of his conclusions on Lebowitz Triple Androgen Blockade..if you combine the theories of Friedman...Leibowitz...BAT...a protocol to control PCa and prevent CRPC would be: 12 months of Lupron +
Casodex
+ Avodart + Arimidex followed by 3 month cycles of High Dose Testosterone (1500 -2000 ng

Double Continuous ADT Eligard & Casodex Johns Hopkins Clinical Trial
Began Hopkins Clinical Trial Jan 2015 using 3-month Eligard & daily 50mg
Casodex
. PSA undetectable since then & the bladder wall swelling has "resolved." Side effects, sure, but as we like to say "I can live with them."

ADT failure and measuring testosterone
When he added
Casodex
his PSA came down again. I recommend that everyone on ADT get their testosterone level tested along with their PSA. Make sure that the drugs you're taking are doing what you want them to do. Alan
