Dad: no change in Mets in two years psa never dropped below 4
Hi my healing buddies. I have two questions. One is that my father has over 100 Mets in his body. He's on lupron and exgeva. Did chemo last year and immunotheapy this year. The scans have remained exactly the same except one came back with one of the tumors slightly bigger. He has asked the doctors how

Adding Zytiga to Lupron and Casodex
Recurrent after RP and XRT. One bone met detected with PSMA scan. I had SBRT to the met and have been on Lupron and Casodex for nine months. The numbers are good. T=6 and PSA <0.02. The MO is suggesting adding Zytiga for another six months then stopping to watch the numbers. He feels that intensifying

PSA from 575 to 15 in three months - good progress?
Hi. My father PSA was 575 three months ago at diagnosis. He was diagnosed mPC with multiple bone mets, had pubic bone fractures. He was put on casodex and lupron shots. Now after three months PSA is 15. Is the progress good and the same approach should be continued, or is there any cause of worry? I

Starting Apalutamide
Just got back from the doc and my PSA has inched up to 0.93 from 0.64 3 months ago while on Casodex and Lupron. We have decided to replace the Casodex with Apalutamide. I know this drug is pretty new, but if any of you have thoughts, suggestions, experiences to share I'm all ears. I'm expecting just

Hormone refractory/ castrate resistant
If you respond to Zytiga/ Enzalutamide are you still considered hormone sensitive? I assumed my husband was hormone refractory once his PSA started rising on Lupron/ Casodex combo. It’s still to be determined if he will respond to the Enzalutamide.

Hello, I'm so grateful to all who have reached out to help answer my naive questions regarding this new journey we are taking with my dad.
