chemotherapy
. I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and can give me their thoughts and/or experiences of this process.Many thanks George

After Zofigo, what next?
Posting an update. My husband just finished 6 sessions of Zofigo (Ra223), which his doctor (MO) recommended after he failed Lupron in 12/21, and then Xtandi in 11/22. He weathered it great, with only mild digestive issues and he continues to be asymptomatic. He meets with his oncologist in two weeks

Hi ladies I’ve seen my oncologist today for results on my latest CT scan. It’s showing 2 new growths in addition to several others which have been slowly creeping in which weve been watching and waiting on. I’ve been on Letrozole for few months which hasn’t worked. One of the new ones is in my left

However, at my last CT scan this June my lymph nodes had swollen suggesting the rucaparib was no longer working. I was

Sadly Pluvicto did not work ...
After receiving the results from my PSMA PET scan at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, I am sad to say my disease is progressing. I had four Pluvicto infusions with no SE's what so ever.. I felt that they mirrored my Docetaxel treatments again other than my hair falling out I had no other SE's. which

And so it goes.
I didn't want to write this maybe because I won't have to admit it until I wrote it down - but I owe it to you guys. So after radiation and 2 yrs of ADT/Zytiga where my PSA was undetectable - i went on a vacation. Then my PSA started to come back - I had an initial PETscan in October 2022 which showed

Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant
My decision was based on the availability of a suitable donor and being able to get to remission through aggressive
chemotherapy
. Other treatments had no effect on my rapidly growing leukemia. As of today I’m still in remission, showing 97% chimerism. I understand your fear, as I too was reluctant.

PSA down but mets increasing?
I've been on ADT + Xtandi for about a year (see my Bio for details) and my PSA has been slowly and steadily reducing over that time - now down to 0.05. However, my 3 CT scans (last August, December and last month) are showing a slight increase each time in the size of my lymph node mets and the bone

Next Steps?
Good morning my fellow warriors. I have reached another cross roads in my treatment. I was set up to have HDR and SbRT as salvage treatment, but a PSMA scan showed disease progression to more lymph nodes which caused my Radiation Onc. to cancel the HDR. My regular ONC is now recommending Chemo after
