PSA after restarting ADT
I restarted ADT with Eligard on August 31 2020 when my PSA was 0.453 and Testosterone 147. Today my PSA is 0.266 and Testosterone < 20. When I started Lupron + Casodex in November 2018 my PSA was 4.48, which dropped to 0.17 in just three months. This time, why the rate of PSA drop is much slower? During

Piqray or Xeloda? What were your experience?
I now have to choose my next treatment by next week: Piqray +
Faslodex
or Xeloda. Here are my thoughts: Piqray cons: horrible, side effects. Could cause diabetes and terrible rash. Relatively new...my cancer center only has 3 patients on it. My onc has none.

New here; lumps from Fulvestrant; fatigue solution
The other thing I was looking up is that, after 18 months on
Faslodex
, for the first time I got big egg shaped lumps at the injection sites, hard and painful and haven't gone away. Did a lot of searching on line; maybe nurse messed up the administration?

How to stop weight loss?
Right now I'm on
Faslodex
and Letrozole and within days of my two year Mets cancerversary. I've had one major pleural effusion and a paracentesis a couple of weeks ago (along with a two night stay in the hospital and liver biopsy).

Ibrance questions
I am on Ibrance/
Faslodex
. Have had to go the lowest dosage because it lowered my immune system badly even though I have tried to boost my immune by eating healthy. No other side affects. Latest scan has shown slight progression in lung nodules for the second time.

Nubeqa anyone?
Hi, I'm in Stage Four PC since 2013. Original PC diagnosis was Nov. 1999. I've been on Lupron for years with add-ons of Casodex, Xtandi and Zytiga. Presently on Zytiga (1000 mgs daily). Along the way I have had Brachi, Prevenge and some blind clinical trials. Here is my question: my MOC is thinking of

Info on clinical trial with "Oral Faslodex/Fulvestrant"?
understanding, this is an attempt to develop an oral Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader (SERD) that acts somewhat like
Faslodex
/Fulvestrant--obviously without the intra-muscular injections. (Sorry if my explanation is not totally accurate, but that was the gist of my understanding!)

Where to next?
Since then I have been on hormone treatment moving to Xeloda Chemo for 18 months and 3 months ago I was moved on to Kisqali (Ribociclib) and
Faslodex
Injections. From a test done from my original surgery in 2016 I also know that my cancer invovles PIK3 pathway.

Next....!!!
Next step is
Faslodex
. Anything I should know on what to expect? Sometimes I feel like they’re just changing meds because they’re not working anymore but also just to buy me time. And eventually my number will be up soon. I’ve never heard of anyone living with MBC for 20-30 years.

Would it work when we go back to the old treatment again? Your input would be appreciated.
I am asking this question as I am curious as to whether or not the old treatment is workable after you have used up all other treatments. For example, Lupron and Casodex (frontline) were used at first diagnosis. After all other treatments like zytiga, xstandi, etc. are castration-resistant, would it

PSA back on the rise - or hitting Nadir?
Hi everyone. I'm hoping to tap back into the wisdom of this crowd. First DX in 2009 with Gleason 3+4/PSA 3.7. Had HDR Brachy and Low-Dose EBRT with Casodex. All good (nadir of 0.11) for 6 years, then BCR. I started Prostap injections \= \\bicalutamide 50 mg in Jan 2020 when PSA was >5. A sudden drop

Xeloda or Taxol
😢 I was put on Afinitor and monthly
Faslodex
injections, and my mets were biopsied. No mutations and no changes to my cancer...just a recurrence. I had no side effects...but my mets did not respond to treatment after 6 mos. On 12/31/19, I started Talzenna.

Update on failing Ibrance!
My onc suggested
Faslodex
as the next line (she is aware I will not do IV chemo again), but I had the option, and it was my choice, to stay on Ibrance till my next scan in November as the progression is minimal and very slow growing.
