First CT scan tomorrow after starting new treatment
After ibrance and
faslodex
stopped working in the summer, and afinitor and exemestane didn't work for me, the oncologist thinks that the cancer is now hormone negative, though the bones remained stable. I was accepted on a trial for cabazitaxel in January.

Doubling Flare after 7 days of Casodex and 1 day of Zolodex
Questions: My husband diagnosed Stage IV 13 years ago. He's not been on Casodex or Zolodex since 2014. We hadn't taken a PSA for about 6 weeks. His psa went from 55 to 64 in that time. It was the alk phos that scared us, it shot up to 740, I honestly can't remember the number.. it was at another blood

Hello All, My husband (diagnosed 8/19 with APC - Gleason 9 PSA 77 - stage four with three mets) is nearing completion of radiation treatment for oligometastatic PC (three Cyberknife treatments with subsequent five weeks IMRT - seven treatments remaining). He has been on Casodex and Eligard since diagnosis

Afinitor or clinical trial
The ibrance or possibly the
faslodex
is no longer working for me or my cancer is progressing now on that. I am advised that I have a mutation that would indicate afinitor is the best med. Or another option would be to go on a clinical trial.

Abiraterone Failure
I began Abiraterone on Jan 11,2020...my last three PSA readings are .76 12/11/20), 2.1 (2/25/20), 3.9 (3/27/20)...so I have failed abiraterone...(have ruled out BRCA2+ mutation...also I believe we have ruled out AR-V7 expression)..my alkaline phosphate remains good at 45...next choice seems to be enzalutamide

Lupron Altarnatives
Can anyone recommend a urologist in eastern US who is currently using Vantas implants with Casodex as an alternative to Lupron? I have been unable to find one anywhere near my location. From other posts, it appears that some community members are using this combo with success. Any advice will be much

Borders and Chemotherapy
I'm up against a unique problem and do not know where to go to get an answer. A quick update on me. 65, initial psa 55, Gleason 9 in 16. No mets visible. Radiation summer of 16. Been on Erleada, Zolodex, Xtandi, Casodex, and Zytiga recently. All failed eventually. Doctor said Docetaxal is all that

experience w/neutropenia?!
hey all- my husband is dealing w/neutropenia. he takes casodex & tamoxifen daily. have any of you experienced this before? hematologist thinks it may be related to the tamoxifen, but isn't sure. worried about him being even more immunocompromised right now.

Salvage Radiation Delay due to COVID 19
RO Mychalczak at Memorial Sloan Kettering Westchester (just outside Manhattan) wants to delay my 8 weeks of salvage radiation to Pelvic Lymph Nodes Prostate Bed due to Pandemic. Suggesting a 3 month shot of Lupron to keep PSA down in the interim My concern is that the Lupron may be keeping the PSA

Stats... devils (or angels) in the details?
I came across an interesting example of why it can be worthwhile to dig into the details that underlie statistic-based conclusions. (And I wasn't really digging that hard, this one fell into my lap.) In considering anti-androgen monotherapy as an initial systemic treatment for my metastatic 3+4=7 PC,

Visiting the hospital amidst COVID 19 scare ?
My dad is due for his 3-monthly Lupron shot on April 3rd. He is currently on Casodex + Lupron. He completed his chemo this January. As if dealing with the idea of advanced Pca wasn’t enough, the COVID-19 is a reminder of the fragility of our lives once again. How is everyone managing visiting the hospital

Basic Question About Casodex
Is Casodex used primarily to avoid PSA flare when starting Lupron? If so how long does it need to be taken? If so would starting ADT with a degaralix injection instead and then transitioning to lupron after a month be equally or more effective?

Imaging at Low PSA
I was on Lupron + Casodex for a year for lymph node metastasis. In November 2019, I started ADT vacation. My last Lupron shot was in September, 2019. In February 2020, my PSA was 0.07 (slightly up from 0.06 in November 2019) and T <20. Today, I learned that my MO wants me to have chest X ray, Abdomen
