A month of Casodex monotherapy
I did 30 months ADT and stopped, with MedOnc approval, last shot on 03/31/17. Didn't want PCa to go castrate resistant. So, monthly PSA went 0.1- 0.1- 0.2 - 0.5 - 1.3 and 3.3. Did a month of Casodex monotherapy and got down to 3.0 and T at 291 - up 40 from last month. Same lab. maybe an outlier. Was

XTANDI SIDE EFFECTS
Hello I'm a newbie.. Here's my story. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1994, very little treatment available at that time. We started out with 38 treatments of radiation, opted out of removing the prostate since Dr. said, "cancer was detected in lymph nodes". Started taking Lupron months

Why I Like Right To Try
Lets say you have a rising PSA on Xtandi..with crossover resistance Zytiga will usually work for a few months. Hello Apalutamide..the problem here is Apalutamide is very similar to Xtandi and both drugs have a chemical structure based on Casodex...so if Apalutamide works you get maybe 3 months. Darolutamide

Xtandi
I have been on Xtandi for two months and PSA is now down to .59 and I feel much better than when I was on Lupron and Casodex. I have read the literature and it seems that Xtandi may work from three to 22 months. They don't ever seem to tell you what the standard deviation is. Has anyone on this forum

Durable remission? This is from 2014 and I feel like this Dr. From the Mayo Clinic is "ahead" of my Oncologist(s)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkqizmvqJPo I'm wondering why my oncologist at U of M, (Sylvester) and my second opinion at the Moffitt Cancer Center....both said after Lupron for 10 months and 6 session of Taxoter..I'm doing so great...all of my bone mets disappeared and the few lymph nodes have either

Help and hope
My husband has Stage IV, advanced prostate cancer with mets to the bone and intraabdominal lymph nodes. He had a PSA in September 2017 of 540 and his doctor didn't do a biopsy until late December 2017. By then, his PSA was 1250. Gleason score 10 of all 12 biopsies. He's had Casodex, Lupron shot and

Second opinion update
Went for a second opinion last Friday, and even though I appear to have responded well to my first 3 months of treatment, it was an eye opener. Because I believe the quality of care we receive is to a significant degree related to our willingness to ask informed questions, to engage our oncologists

Genetic testing
Just curious how many people have had g-nome testing done. I feel I should have done this from the beginning to figure out what will work best. At this point it seems the chemo, casodex, Zytiga that have done nothing was a big waist of time and money. I am now on a targeted theropy called lymparza that

Zytiga, Prednisone, Lupron
My Oncologist is now prescribing daily 1000 mg of Zytiga, 5 mg Prednisone along with my every 3rd month of Lupron. Was on daily 50 mg Casodex after 6 infusions of chemo. Had my 3rd Lupron injection today. My past posts pretty much tell my beginnings. Can anyone tell me what I am in for?

Update on husband's condition - hopeful?
First off, a huge 'Thank-you' to all who replied to my posting a few days ago. We met with a nurse practitioner and the regular MO on Monday to discuss 'what's next' for Mike. It's clear that something else needs to be done -- the Lupron and Casodex are no longer keeping his PSA at a reasonable level

Newbie with questions
So glad I found this site - seems like the best source of info and ideas I have seen. So it’s time to stop lurking and start participating. I am 67, still work, was diagnosed in Nov. 2017. Gleason 4+4, metasteses to local lymph nodes, pelvis, hip and one rib. Large tumor on the prostate itself.

17 years of various treatments
Hi Y'all, Regarding my husband, I have dragged him through 17 years of various treatments--all failed. However, he is still alive and kicking after all these years and we are grateful for that. He has lived a mostly normal, unaffected life through it all. He had a laparoscopic prostatectomy done
