Faslodex and stomach issues
Just wondering if anyone experiences stomach issues after
faslodex
shots. It seems that two or three days after the shots I get cramps, bloating, vomiting. I have ended up in hospital the last two months and feel a bit nervous about my upcoming injections.

Looking for some perspective
My only line of treatment has been Ibrance 100mg and
Faslodex
injections 1x a month. My last PET scan in May showed no evidence of disease. It was certainly something to celebrate, but as we all know our diagnosis is one that never actually goes away. I have 2 questions today.

My Update
I was prepared for new treatment of Ibrance and
Faslodex
. My oncologist called yesterday, I was out in a public place, and he tells me, my scans look better then did 7 years ago. No sign of cancer anywhere. Tumor markers are going up, so yes something might be going on, but isn’t showing up yet.

BCR - what might be next ...
It was bound to happen – came as no surprise (although you could hope for a different outcome). My PSA has jumped dramatically, in the last 6 months. Previous reading was 1.7 – jumped to 3.2 a week ago - no reason to believe that the rising numbers are going to stop 'naturally'. I was on an ADT holiday

Just starting ibrance
Yesterday I had my first
faslodex
injection, and today I take my first ibrance. I’m one of those who reads all prescribing info, and it sounds identical to the warnings about the IV chemo I had before.

Starting cosadex
The scans were good in spite of a slight rise in PSA pelvis/amdomen showed no progression and bone scan showed no new mets and no progression. He agreed to start casodex and feels I should get a long run with it along with lupron 3 month. The bladder issue is an overactive bladder and taking meds for

Will Lupron and Casodex affect a PSMA PET Scan?
In 2017, with a PSA of 9 and Gleason of 3+4 on left of prostate, I had HIFU on left side. After 6 months my PSA of 2 became almost 4. In june, with a PSA of 7 I had a biopsy. Out of 12 cores, 8 were 3+4, 1 was 4+3, and one was 4+4, that one was on the right side. I had a CT of abdomen and pelvis last

Recent scan concerning
My onc switched me to
faslodex
with Ibrance. Everything has been stable and resolved since then. However my last scan this week now shows some very small areas in my liver. Bones are still stable. Which of course is upsetting.

The Difficult Question most all of us will face.
Hello All. i wanted to give an update since my last Chemo adventure, and discuss where I am now. If you were following (and if not please look through my posts as you will to get the whole story), I last reported after my 6th Docetaxel session. My PSA was still rising. 3.02 when I started to 6.98 at

Good news on tumor markers
I guess treatment (Abemaciclig/Verzenio, Zometa, Fulvestrant/
Faslodex
) is working. Let's hope it keeps working for a very long time. Good luck everyone! Anne (in Cincinnati)

Rising psa
Saw article on eggs affecting psa, cut back to 3 instead of 7 a week but it increased. It was 3.8, 4.1, 4.6 now 6.6, I think it is time for a second line of defense like casodex, the high price not an option plus like to start then when that fails go to the others that could go down in price by then.

Gemcitabine (Gemzar) - Your experience??
Exhausted usefulness of Ibrance/
Faslodex
. Experienced heart issues on 1st treatment of Xeloda, and onc says not wise to try again. So, knowing I react poorly to Taxol, he’s recommending gemcitabine infusions. Reading paper specifics are one thing- hearing your experiences are quite another.

Ibrance Side effect question.
Does anyone have back discomfort on ibrance and or ibrance and
Faslodex
? It’s not like a pain but a pressure, gassy type thing. Seems to happen toward the end of the cycle. I do have lung and pleura Mets of the left side. This happens on the right mostly.
