Latest on Casodex
What is the latest research on Casodex? My MO in Chicago is tells me Casodex has lost favor with many US MO's and most are turning to other drugs. Presently I am on a Casodex vacation (7 months) and trying to determine if I should start Casodex again or try something else. Before the vacation I had been

Desperate for Help
i have been urinating more than normal and retaining urine. Went to a urologist a couple months ago and was diagnosed with pca. The urologist started me on Lupron and Casodex after being catheterized for a few weeks because of retention. The retention has subsided, but i am still urinating frequently

Drug holiday coming to an end
Just a short update on my health. MRI end of October showed no metastasized cancer. Just one lymph node 15.1 mm. Testesterone is coming back into the system. It is now more than 8 months since my last Lucrin injection. But the PSA moved. This week the test showed up from 0.04 to 0.17. My GP freaked out

PSA is still relatively low at just under 2, but doubling time is fast at about 6 weeks. Has anyone that is castrate resistant had good

Zytiga for high-risk non-metastatic PCa?
Hi fellows, My cancer was diagnosed as Gleason 9 and non-metastatic. It's been treated in recent months with EBRT and brachytherapy. I'm on Casodex & Lupron, and the Lupron will continue into 2020. But I feel maybe I could be doing more. Sometimes I'll read on the message boards that someone who seems

8 years since dx, doing well ...
Hi, I'm new here, brief history of my prostate cancer is below. My cancer has been kept under control with very low dose casodex since psa recurrence, so I'm grateful for that. Casodex monotherapy for high risk pca patients is not the standard treatment, however it's working for me, at least until now

Xtandi - Please help
Hi everyone, My father's PSA keeps rising. It is now 460. It was 300 three weeks ago. He had Casodex, Lucrin, Zytiga, prostatetomy, radiation therapy, orchietomy, chemo (Taxotere, Taxotere+carboplatin, Jevtana). All failed. We saw a doctor (in the US) who prescribed Xtandi. My father does not live in

Starting Treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer
My prostate cancer diagnosed Gleason 3 + 3 in 2011 and treated with brachytherapy in 2011 is now a metastatic disease with many lymph nodes involved. Today I took the first Casodex pill in preparation for the first Lupron shot in two weeks time. Previously, I was treated with ADT and cyberknife in 2016

Well it is now November 2018 and things have progressed. In July my baby daughter, 56 this year, accompanied to see my urologist to review my latest PSA test. It was 0.98; my lowest ever was 0.3 and highest 1.03. My urologist saw this as a positive sign and I laughed out loud. My reading of published
