first PSMA
I know my RO said in our last meeting, assuming PSMA is node neg and distant met neg), that I would start
Casodex
(I already have the pills) day after the scan, a couple weeks later, Lupron, and the a couple weeks later the first full pelvic radiation (35 at 70 grey) Is that SOC?

Confused on next step
Have done GREAT using
Casodex
2 weeks then Lupron +
Casodex
(50 mg/day), usually 9-12 months. Numerous HT vacations. 3 times scans found a very few ext. lymph node hot spots. Each time did a 3-month Lupron shot +
Casodex
+ SBRT one month after starting Lupron. OK, fast forward to now. PSA rising.

PSMA scan
Wondering if I should be patient in the appeal or start the prescribed
Casodex
and subsequent Lupron. Apparently even on approval it can take 6 to 8 weeks to get it done

Ache all over but stable. What to do?
I seem to be going through a stage for want of a better description that every fiber of my body aches. All of my recent tests show me as being stable including a pet and CT scan.. . I am on Faslodex shots and Xgeva every third month. I’ve been taking ibuprofen and Tylenol and it really doesn’t help.

Recurrence after 2.5 year break from ADT
After a 2.5 year break from
Casodex
and Lupron, my husband's PSA started increasing in August 2022. It's still low but is now at 2.9. His oncologist ordered several scans including a PSMA.

Starting Xeloda soon
I am a rare case for Johns Hopkins. Dx de novo ER/Pr +, Her2 - almost 8 years ago. Two very tiny liver mets only. Did extremely well and achieved NED status on Ibrance and AI for 6.5 years when we noticed the primary site of cancer in the breast was growing. Switched to Faslodex and Fulvestrant.

lymph nodes
Started on Lupron, hot flashes, very very tiredness, switched to
Casodex
. PSA went down back up and dow again, from .23 to .83 recently. Went in for nuclear scan, showed lymph nodes only area positive. What is the treatment now, Radiation, Chemotherapy, different drug. ?

Hello eyebrows, my old friend
I don’t quite know how to put this, or where this post will end up. I have had super thin/missing eyebrows since iv chemo in 2016. Was on Arimidex follow up for 5 years and noticed that they never returned. Fast forward to my current ibrance/faslodex and xgeva protocol and more of the same. Unit

Restaging
MRI showed IV PCa and 2 inguinal nodes: started 30 days
Casodex
, now on second Eligard. Local pelvis and LN Rad to start in November. We have reached out to RO to see if he agrees. She says now that PSA is 2, down from 100, no current benefit to PSMA.

UPDATE AFTER IMRT
PSA was 8.11 which led to my Urology Oncologist (UO) starting me on
Casodex
& Eligard, and ordering a GA-68 PSMA-PET scan which was done in mid June (2 weeks after starting ADT).

Vacation or Zytiga...Onco says Zytiga...
Did 28 days of
Casodex
then 3 months of Lupron received another injection last month. PSA now .02 and husband tried Zytiga in past month and went off due to High BP. Onco says no vacation because data does not favor it... but on here I have read otherwise... All input greatly appreciated.

tingling/numb fingers
I read tingling is a listed
Casodex
side effect. Very reluctant to stop use because PSA remains very low. Anyone else experience this with bicalutamide (
casodex
)? Did it get worse - spread? Did it go away? Any supplement or drug therapy help?

Continue Casodex or move to Lupron?
What do you all think about continuing
Casodex
and watch the numbers monthly? If it rises, back on Lupron of course. But if
Casodex
is keeping it at bay, much fewer side effects to deal with. Is 1.6 a livable number, or should I go full-on Lupron and get it to 0?
