Still undetectable 56 months after DX w/ original 209 PSA and bone mets..
Hi all; Great news today still showing a PSA of <0.02. I never ever thought that this would have been possible after my initial horrific DX let alone that I would still be alive. Still on the monthly injection of Firmagon (which I hate) and daily 50 mg of Casodex. I do have to admit that the side effects

Update on Radiation Onocologist second opinion. Confused?
I visited a radiation Onocologist at MD Anderson in Tuscaloosa Al. He had a different opinion that my current Onocologist. I had surgery on March 19, 2019.

Has anyone done docetaxel with ADT as a first line treatment?
My husband was diagnosed in the last month and has only has a Firmagon shot and ~10 days of Casodex. We know he has a high volume of mets. Curious if anyone else has gone right to chemo instead of Zytiga/Xtandi or used it in conjunction as a first-line treatment? Also, are there any trials or studies

With good Zytiga response, do I really need Lupron for adjunctive ADT pre-Brachy?
Five weeks ago, started adjunctive ADT in prep for HDR Brachy in a few weeks. Scholz at POS recommended Casodex, Lupron, and Zytiga together. Due to delays in approvals, and whatnot, the first 3 weeks I was on Casodex alone, dropped PSA from 33 to 21. Then added Zytiga+Pred for last two weeks, and PSA

What’s next? Hearing different approaches from different people.
Dad had his orchiectomy 6 months ago. He lives in India. He was diagnosed with PSA of 64, bone Mets (stage 4) and Gleason 9. He was put on casodex and zolendronic acid (bone medicine). His 3 months check up after orchiectomy was 18, so he continued with the current plan. On His 6 months check up, the

Stop Casodex if on Lupron and Zytiga?
See my profile for more details. I've been on Casodex + Lupron + Zytiga for about 3 months. PSA is decreasing fast. During recent appointment, my oncologist said I can stop taking Casodex.

Rapid PSA decrease?
Newbie here. See my icon summary (what do you call it?) for specifics. I was diagnosed Stage IV PC January 2019, and started Casodex + Lupron + Zytiga + Xgeva + Prednisone. My PSA was 111 on 1/15/19, 65 on 3/15/19, and 4.6 on 4/10/19. Is that change typical for someone after 3 months od ADT? Does it

Questions about assembling a care team
What a long week and a half this has been. My husband was diagnosed something like 14 days ago and admitted last Friday for bleeding from a kidney stone procedure. He's been in and out of critical ever since. Yesterday, he took his first walk and ate semi solid food (whipped sweet potatoes and eggs).
