Is it possible to loss weight?
Hello everyone, Been battling the Beast for 5 and a half years. First 2 years casodex, lupron, and zometa; the next 3 and a half years- zytiga, prednisone, lupron, and zometa. I have gained 50 lbs during this time. I just found out that I am now prediabetic. I realize that I have to exercise and watch

Faslodex
Just a few questions about
Faslodex
. I've been getting these injections now for over 40 months and now it seems as tho my nurse is running out of viable spots to inject. This past Fri. I got 2 more but 1 was placed very high up and has caused me considerable pain while in bed.

Starting Adt
Again hello from Sweden! My husband is now starting Trelstar, every 6 month. He has already started Casodex 50 mg. He has got cardiac problems,stents. Currently he is taking Broccomax, but also baby Aspirin and a statin. Is it advisable for him to add Natto now? What about K2D3? Thinking of ADT worsening

Femara vs tamoxifen for gynecomastia
Femara was suggested to prevent gynecomastia while taking casodex, however it seems tamoxifen is overwhelmingly referenced on this board. Can either of these drugs affect PSA lowering results of casodex, and is tamoxifen preferred and if so why. Thanks as always for your support.

Bone Mets
If so, I will start piqray with
faslodex
(which I currently do)..If no mutation he will start me on affinator (again w
faslodex
). He feels these are better second lines of treatment now that there is more bone activity.

Casodex cross-resistes Zytiga?
Hi, my dad is taking Casodex and if it doesn't work with him, he has to move to Zytiga. Do you know if there is any cross-resistance between Casodex and Zytiga? I read from this forum and understand that Zytiga and Xtandi are cross-resistant and Casodex and Xtandi are both Lutamide. Therefore, I am a

Neuropathy from IBrance or Chemo?
After SBRT I started IBrance,
Faslodex
& Xgeva. I have been responding well to treatment but I am suffering from IBrance related neuropathy. I was speaking to my Case Manager with the cancer center & she recommended L-Glutamine.

? Should I stop casodex prior to PSMA Pet scan for better detection rate.
I am anticipating having PSMA Pet scan at UCLA in March. At 22 months post RP PSA has risen to .19 with a PSADT of <=3 mths. Per urologists, started casodex 50 mg 1x. After 23 days on casodex my PSA went to .14 from .19. I am considering stopping casodex for 2 months in the belief that the scan may

PSA raised rapidly after 2 months finishing chemo
My dad just took the PSA test and it increased from 0.29 to 1.16 and ALP of 134.2 U/L (40 - 129) after 2 months finishing chemo. He did this test for himself since his doctor askes him take the test after 3 months from chemo. With the above result, we think he need a treatment. -My dad had taken Casodex

ADT and growth of breasts
I was not a victim of breast enlargement during my first injection of Lupron or while on Casodex but I do not know if it is any indication that my breasts won't grow once I start ADT again in a few weeks. Did any of you experience growing breasts while under ADT? If yes, did they go away after treatment
