Experiences with

Cilodex

Aged 60 when Diagnosed Stage 3 in December 2016 - dealt with using radiation Please see profile for further information. Chemical recurrence in 2020 - more radiation treatment plus Casodex Feb '22, Casodex dropped, so Decapeptyl only treatment since then. PSA has dropped from <0.08 in March 21 and

Following day 13 of a 26-day adaptive SbRT program, my partner has developed significant pain in his lower back and thighs. The radiation is targeting his pelvic bed, with particular focus on his prostate and the one lymph node that lit up on PSMA PET. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, was there

I never did, though I was diagnosed in 2018. I did have a TURP, however, which was completely ineffective (the goal was freeing urination; didn't work). It occurred to me that most of the posters here probably had prostatectomies, which would make them far more concerned about rises in PSA. My PSA

Hi folks, really starting to ponder some help here. Quick summary - dx'd August 2023 with metastatic PC. I never stopped working as at the time I thought I didn't need to and being busy would keep my mind off of things. I have gone through chemo and radiation and of course started with Casodex,

Please feel free to provide any thoughts, concerns, etc. 1.) prostrate cancer has NOT spread beyond prostrate. 2.) prostrate treatment on hold as we address lung cancer3a. 3.) on 9/24 will stop casodex and get lupron injection to hold back prostrate cancer for 3 months while we treat lung cancer

Hello everyone! I posted on here a little while back and everyone gave me such great information and high hopes for my dad's future treatment options! I have updated his bio, but just to recap - He was diagnosed on 8/15/24 with advanced metastatic prostate cancer (spread to bones) with an initial PSA

Prevent further Weight LOSS? BACKGROUND: From June 2024 til PCa was D'gxd on Sept 5, 2024 I lost 20 lbs and I now only weigh 145 and am 6 foot tall.

Hello everyone! My name is Ashley and I set up an account here for my dad (60 years old) who has been recently diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bones. I have been reading many of the posts on this website and have learned so much already. It has helped me reassure

Hey everyone...don't know if anyone has had this experience. I'm about 12 months into my PCa battle...been on Firmagon for most of it (including now). Started on Zytiga last year but had to stop due to elevated liver enzymes, so I switched to Casodex about two months ago, but PSA numbers started to

Does anyone have experience with Casodex? I'm especially interested in potential side effects; have read much of what's online and it certainly is daunting, at the least.

Does anyone have advice or tips on getting a catheter removed? My husband had it inserted due to urinary retention. The oncologist said his prostrate is full of cancer and pressing on the urethra. He has started adt with casodex and lupron. Soon to add zytiga. He also takes flomax. He’s tried twice

St. Patrick’s Day I collapsed in pain and was rushed to ER. A CT ABD PE revealed a perforated colon near my rectum, broad internal infection (sepsis) with kidneys and liver shutting down. A life flight, three surgeries later, 3 weeks sedated and immobile in an ICU, and seven weeks in hospital rehabs

I had my RP last January but the cancers had sneaked out to my lymph node already (no other met) so my PSA was always detectable. I started hormonal therapy last April and my PSA went down right away. It had been that way till this week ( PSA was up and down, the lowest was 0.02, usually was 0.05.).

My husband was diagnosed in Feb. 2018 with oligo metastatic - 2 spots on spine and local lymph node involvement. Had radiation to the lymph nodes and was on Lupron and Casodex for 5 years. Went off treatment a year and three months ago. Cancer returned to one lung only - no Mets to bone or lymph

I recently developed sclerosis in my left hip area...painful to sit on a hard surface. PSMA tech wrote 'sclerosis developed consistent with treatment'. Oncologist seems unconcerned. I've read that sclerosis can sometime happen when ADT reduces tumor size, which means the bone has to adjust. The recent

Our cancer treatment centres are a disaster here. I need to purchase some drugs on my own if I am to survive. Would you please recommend someone you trust to buy from the following: 1. Zytiga. 500 mg. dosage or whatever is available, I need three months worth, taken twice daily 2. Prednisone 5 mg

After 26 years, my combo IHT has finally failed. My psa started to go up while unicycle-a first, in November, pas rose to 8, since then and after a disaster of my cancer set up here, my pas has gone to 20. My testosterone has gone up from around 3 max to over 9 so no idea how or why this happened while

First, as one of the longest living men with prostate cancer, I will update you. in 1997, I was disanosted with PC, having a Gleeson 7 later upgraded to an 8 but who cares, my pas was 4.9 at this time. I had my prostate out in 1998, reoccurrence by way of psa went up t o5.5. Surgery was done, all was

Dad , 83 , got diagnosed last month with bone mets and psa 18. The urologist started him on Casodex 100 mg to take daily and then take a lupron shot after 2-3 weeks. Before starting the Casodex he had bone pain in a femur and was taking Ibuprofen sometimes but since starting the Casodex since the
