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.

Suggestions to prevent Chemotherapy side effects
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. We were given a plan of treatment today and gave the green light to proceed. As many have assured me.......it will be difficult but do-able. Casodex began today..

Treatment update
I’ve been posting here for about six months, but I am always uncomfortable about posting personal updates. I wonder whether I am bragging, whining, boring people or some combination of the above. Regardless, I enjoy reading the experiences of others, both positive and negative. I personally think

One consolidated, easy to follow modality
During my 28 years in the military I commanded several different units and the best way I was able to make the unit achieve outstanding levels of performance was to find a few of the most talented and motivated soldiers or cadets and assign them a task to put into place a plan that would use my general

Casodex + Lupron (Blockers v Killers)
I am on the generic for Casodex + the Lupron shot. My question is: Since Casodex is the hormone receptor blocker and Lupron is the T killer, why not just take drugs that block T and skip the Lupron? If we get the T down and the PSA down, what if those results were from the hormones being blocked at

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

Would like to know about Casodex
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
