Advice for men who are about to start hormone treatment for metastatic prostate cancer?
I'm writing to request advice about what tests you would recommend I should get before and during hormone treatment, which I probably will begin sometime in the near future. The treatment will probably begin with Casodex and then add Lupron. I have an appointment early Wednesday morning with my urological

Monotherapy to gain extra survival.
I am wondering about studies where you only take one drug at a time to stretch out survival. In no order but for example Xtandi till it stops then ADT till it quits working then Zytiga etc. Would this not give you extra survival? Is the above sequencing. Does combining hurt Monotherapy effective time

Casodex
Saw my Oncologist on the 1st Nov, PSA has been 0.28 since I finished Chemo in May (originally 1386). I'm on Diphereline (ADT) for 12 months now and he just started giving me Casodex. I just wondered why he did this if everything is stable, any ideas?

Saw MO yesterday
Saw my MO yesterday, it's been 3 months and I was a little apprehensive because my pain has been increasing and I suppose you always worry a little around these times. PSA is still .028 so I'll assume the pain is maybe just the colder/damper weather. He gave me an infusion (cannot remember the name)

Continue on Lupron or try Casodex?
I was diagnosed with high risk PC and opted for radiation instead of surgery. I started on Lupron 30 days before treatments and have been on it a year or so now, 6 month shots. The side effects are getting worse as time passes. I can live with the 12-15 daily hot flashes but the fatigue, belly fat, and

Post 2, Strange couple of months
Thanks for all the great suggestions and advice with my last post. This is what happened after. A new scan( SPECT -CT) was done, before any further treatment was talked about. The scan showed that there is no cancer in the prostate,or lymph nodes anymore, but it is still visible in the hip bone, and

Radiation for nipple pain and breast buds
Anyone had radiation treatment for this? How effective is it? Typical side effects? Is there an optimal time to radiate? I will likely return to Lupron when my PSA starts to rise. I stopped Lupron and Xtandi one year ago. My testosterone returned at 236 four months later (April) and has continued

Second opinion at Cleveland Clinic... different treatment plan
So, after my dad's increases in PSA over three month periods (.07, .13, .23) his oncologist suggested we start with Xtandi and sent us to see an oncologist at the Cleveland main campus regarding Provenge. Well, insurance decided that they weren't going to cover Xtandi and said it's Zytiga for you! So

Daily Casodex 50mg and Tamoxifen 10mg - Amazing results in 40 days.
My urologist called yesterday with results of latest PSA and Axumin Scan. PSA fell from 65.7 to 1.7 after starting 50mg Casodex along with 10mg Tamoxifen. The scan showed the tumor next to the wall of the rectum had decreased from 5.4 SUV TO 3.5 SUV and showed no new occurrences of cancer. I was diagnosed

DO I GO WITH CHEMO OR ADT DRUGS?
Recently diagnosed with PC with a PSA of 1800. It has metastasized to my bones with lots of mets in my back. Just finished radiation to the lower spine. Now on Lupron and Casodex, started treatment early August, and my PSA has gone down to 241. Still seems high, but in the right direction. The doc

Any correlation between hot flushes and effectiveness of ADT + Casodex
I started ADT + Casodex in November 2018 for my metastatic PCa in many pelvic and abdominal lymph nodes. Previously, I had Firmagon (three months) and two 3 month Lupron shots in 2016-2017 for extra-capsular- extension. In 2016, after the first Firmagon shot I had severe hot flushes, which gradually
