Sick again
I had a UTI then the reaction to the new
Faslodex
and now I’m home sick with the worst cold ever. I don’t know if this is from stress or just my immune system saying quit your job. Anyone have this experience?

Faslodex
Had a horrible reaction this past Monday after my injections. I’ve been having this treatment for 3 years and I had so much pain during the second injection. When I left I felt horrible. BP dropped to 78/56. I almost hit the deck. I experienced nausea, weakness, sweating and coworkers called 911 and

DOES MEDICARE COVER DEXA SCANS FOR MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER
I have been on Casodex and Eligard since June 2022. My PSA was still high after RALP so I had a GA-68 PSMA PET Scan done which revealed one 11mm tumor in the Left pelvic Lymph Nodes and one 7mm Tumor in the Right pelvic Lymph Nodes. Those were the only 2 hot spots in my body. My Dr. scheduled me for

Continue Casodex or move to Lupron?
Hi guys, All the details are in my profile but the thumbnail is - RP 3 1/2 years ago with persistent PSA thus radiation and Lupron for a year. One year off, rising PSA at 1.6. Opted for monotherapy Casodex 50 mg. Two months later, PSA dropped to 0.5 so we stayed with it for another 6 months whereupon

Update
It was just a bad reaction to preservatives in the
faslodex
injection which was generic. He’s going to go back and order the
Faslodex
by Astra Zeneca which I had for the first two years and never had a problem.

Between a rock and another rock...
Was just told by my uro-onc that Casodex is about to kill me by shutting down my liver, based on 3 liver enzyme readings (ALT=177; AST=144; ALK.PH.=482). If I stop taking it, PCa will kill me. Right now, PSA is undetectable. Casodex monotherapy has worked for 4 yrs, but now I have very little choice

Faslodex/Fulvestrant update
Faslodex
is my second line treatment- after Ibrance, Femara & zoladex. I’ve been feeling well on
Faslodex
- still going about my daily routine and working. After second MRI, my onc called with good news that there has been good shrinkage in liver and clavicle, and my femur had healed… yay!

Anyone Having to change to Verzenio
So we quickly changed from Ibrance/
faslodex
to Verzenio/ aromasin. Onc says she is trying to get more time( just 18 months so far) out of the CDK 4-6 class before the rear view window.

Liver Mets - Ibrance - Tumor Markers
Well she was put on Ibrance/
Faslodex
and has been on it since. Her tumor markers were down to around 258. She has done great on it. She works full time and is just a fighter. We were given the impression she would not be here at Christmas so to be sitting here a year later is impressive!

T and PSA basically undetectable. Is adding testosterone or having a colonoscopy 3 years post treatment a good or bad idea for the elderly?
Cancer in late 2019 was G9 with no indication of escaping the capsule. PSA was <10. Treatment initially casodex followed by one session high dose brachy, 25 sessions IMRT and 18 months Lupron. Currently PSA undetectable and T still <2.5. Pushing through a regular exercise routine but have no energy

No Evidence of Disease!!
Have been in Ibrance 125 and
Faslodex
since February 2021. My mets are in my liver only. I have been asymptomatic from the beginning (MBC found in scan for another issue). I see my oncologist monthly and like her very much. I have PET scans every 3 months. Brain MRI annually.

2nd opinion about treatment change?
So switched to Everolimus +
Faslodex
, which also gave a complete response for about 9 months. When the original breast tumour showed up again on a PET scan I was switched to Talazoparib, which I have felt very well on, much better than with the previous two lines of treatment.

Treatment Options for Gynecomastia
I have been on Lupron/Eligard since November 2018 with a nine month and a one year break. Gynecomastia (breast enlargement) has not been a serious problem until now. During the last six months gynecomastia getting worse even during ADT break. I just restarted my Lupron shot a week ago. I have also been
