First a recap: Diagnosed April 2018 PSA 23 Gleason 9 , cancer escaped the capsule so no surgery for me. PET/CT PSMA found no distant/bone mets but several

Phone call from my Oncologist
Firstly, she gave me the great news that the cost of Ibrance/
Faslodex
would now be free of charge. Previously it was costing $852.00 per month. Yippee! Not sure if Phizer or the Ontario government is absorbing the cost.

Xtandi not working?
Started Xtandi a month ago after my PSA went to 8.3 almost a year after radiation and Lupron every three months also started casodex prior to Xtandi. Had second opinion from another Oncologist and said this was the right course to take and suggested have PSA in a month. Had PSA last week and PSA has

Lupron/Radiation Treatment and Autoimmunity
Given that older people (I'm 70) are more exposed to COVID, how would radiation and 2 years of Lupron and Casodex affect my autoimmunity, given few other chronic conditions?

Told to discontinue Casodex (Bicalutamide)
My dad was put on Casodex for 3 months immediately post-chemo. So he was on Lupride + Casodex. Today we got his 3-monthly blood work reviewed, the MO has instructed to stop Casodex and continue with only Lupride and get back again after 3 months with blood reports. Jan (after chemo): PSA: 0.04, ALP

WELL ITS ON NOW
Received call from oncologist for first Lupron shot next Tuesday and measurement for radiation. I took first Casodex last night before watching end of Homeland. I fell for Claire Dane. With Lupron this feeling will undoubtedly pass.

Casodex and Lupron
I had surgery in 2014, SRT in 2018, an axium scan last week that show uptake of PC in left nodes. My oncologist says he can microwave it. I will take casodex and lupron. Do I start taking casodex before lupron injection.

Does Casodex Cause Testosterone Spike?
Does anyone know if Casodex can cause an initial spike in testosterone levels? I had been on Casodex for almost 2 weeks in preparation for my ADT treatment. In that time, my testosterone level nearly doubled from 404 to 760 (my PSA dropped from. 0.022 to 0.009). I thought one purpose of the Casodex

update on changed cancer
She suggested my staying on Ibrance and
Faslodex
. I said I didn't like the expense and we then decided to go to Xeloda alone. Saw my young oncologist and she was sure my Cancer had changed and she was arranging a meeting with a group to decide how to proceed.

Alkaline phos rising yet symptoms lessing?
My husband began Zolodex close to 2 weeks ago. He's a 13 year Stage IV survivor. His alk phos is increasing and yet after he did the initial Casodex, got the injection of Zolodex, his symptoms are lessening greatly.

Feet Swelling?
I am on 100mg Ibrance and
faslodex
, now in my 4th month. Does anyone else notice swelling of their ankles and/or feet? My onc checked me for clots, mentioning that would be of concern. Just curious if it's a side effect or something else entirely. Thanks.
