Casodex
My husband (metastatic PCa) has had encouraging results on Casodex monotherapy: in one month on 50mg/day his PSA plunged from 73 to 5.2. On the increased dose of 150 mg/day the following month (Pharmacy gave incorrect instructions) after one month it is now 1.6. He takes the generic form of the drug,

Xtandi stomach pain
Started my PC journey 9 years ago, diagnosed with Gleason 9, and a poor prognosis. I was told surgery was not an option and started radiation. 54 treatments kept my psa under 1.0 for almost 3 years, then Lupron on and of for another 3 years...very effective. Side effects were terrible but eventually

What is the reason for adding Casodex for someone who is already on Lupron?

Lucrin Side Effects
Has anyone developed a chronic cough and trying to clear throat whilst on Lucrin? My husband Bob has been on Lucrin, Casodex and Avodart for about a year, and for at least the last 3 months has a chronic cough. Had an X-ray & CT Scan but all clear. Cheers Lee

The Importance Of Regular Scans
Hi everyone. I am posting this here tonight because I feel that it is so important that all of you brave men ask for scans to be carried out regularly. In Paul's case, I think we could have discovered the liver mets sooner if a scan had been performed earlier. Now I am not saying that the doctors made

Update on my situation and request opinion
I wrote 5 month ago asking for opinion on the Sex Hormone Binding Globulin possible effect on the testosterone available for PC cells. I had prostatectomy in 2004, external beam radiation in 2006 when PSA increased from 0.064 to 0.89. Resulting PSA 0.077. PSA 2.2 in late 2009 prompted an evaluation

PSA
Initial treatment brought PSA from 1044 to 1.6. This month it had gone up to 2.4. He’s done upfront Docetaxel and is on Lupron and Casodex. What does a bump up mean? Is he castrate resistant now???

An Update To My Profile And Entering A New Phase In My Journey
I have just had my fourth Zoladex implant and this is a summary my progress since I posted my profile. After three months my PSA had dropped to 0.5 from its previous 1.0. I was having occasional blood in my urine but was told this should settle down. At six months my PSA was 0.4. I had begun to experience
