Zometa for bone strength to be given only with multiple bone Mets or to all stage 4 patients ? Even stage 4 with multiple lymph node Mets ?
Hi, My dad, 75.5 years old was recently diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer with PSMA PET SCAN showing Mets to multiple distant lymph nodes and one met on the pelvic lymph node.

Just came back from Dr. Appt. Erleada failing
Hi all. First posting here. I "had" nmCRPC and was put on Erleada about a year ago. It worked great for a while. My PSA went down to .15. Then three months ago it went to .3. In addition, I was having a great deal of problems with side effects. Basically, I would feel good for a few days, and

Looks like a bit of ADT induced anemia
CBC test shows below normal RBCs, HGBs, and hemtocrit. Maybe, that's why i feel sluggish during my walk/runs :-) On a sorta good note PSA at 4.4 and T at 14 - so no doubling! It was 4.0 last month. Still on Metformin (2000mg/day) and Lipitor(10mg) and Casodex I'm going to try and supplement with this

Lutetium LU-177 Trial Acceptance at Duke
I just found out on Tuesday that I have been randomized into receiving LU-177 in the Vision Trial at Duke. My first infusion is on August 8th. I had just failed Zytiga and on the road to Xtandi when I decided that I would try to get into the Vision Trial. I can not say enough about the professionalism

PSA "undetectable" after one month on ADT; What about the PCa?
My second post... PSA prior to RP was 14. Post RP PSA was 0.21 and rose to 0.53 in a couple months. Axumin scan showed one pelvic lymph node was hot. Pelvic and prostate bed radiation scheduled to start in another month. After only one month on Lupron + 50mg Casodex, PSA is now <0.05 "undetectable

Not gaining weight on Lupron
So far I have been on Lupron for a total of fifteen months. In 2017, I had Lurpron for six months when I had cyberknife for recurrent prostate cancer. That time I had some weight gain, between five and ten pounds. Currently, I am on Lupron plus Casodex since November 2018 for metastatic prostate cancer
