Which scans are suitable for recurrent PCa with very low PSA
I had surgery in 2011 and adjuvant IMRT to prostate bed in 2012. Pt3b, Gleason 8 (4+4) with tertiary 5. Psa recurrence 5 years ago, PSA rose from nadir 0.003 to 0.8. Treatment with Casodex since recurrence. Current regimen 50 mg / day. PSA gradually went down from 0.18 at the beginning of 2019 to 0.05

Tumor markers
I’m not happy with Ibrance/
Faslodex
combo. I was switched from anastrazole last year to this combo and 27.29 antigen is higher than before. I started out st 33 and went up to 80 then they switched me and now it’s 105.

Afinator and Exemestane
Oncologist has taken me off ibrance and
faslodex
after 18 months. Starting Afinator and Exemestane. Been reading about the side effects and they look horrible. Would like to hear others experience on these drugs.

Good news on scans!
I am currently on Verzenio (150 mg. twice a day),
Faslodex
and Zoladex, (monthly). They seem to be working! Anne (in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA)

IRE-CT as a probable option
I've just returned from visiting the Vitus Clinic in Offenbach tp discuss a possible way forward. My circumstances: Experienced BCR late 2017. MO prescribed Casodex 150mg as monotherapy, which has kept PSA <3. Now has risen to 3.7 so time to act. PSMA scan and yesterday's MRI showed it's still localised

Afinitor 10mg and exemestane 25mg
I've just done my first 4 weeks on this drug combination after 18 cycles of ibrance 125mg and
faslodex
. Not to pull punches it's been quite an awful month.

To how much hair loss?
I am on my 6th cycle of Ibrance/
faslodex
after finding out I have MBC to my spine (t11). A PET scan 3 months ago showed improvement. I am on 125 mg dose. I am noticing significant hair loss (no other side effects except low WBC). Will this continue?

Advice for men who are about to start hormone treatment for metastatic prostate cancer?
I'm writing to request advice about what tests you would recommend I should get before and during hormone treatment, which I probably will begin sometime in the near future. The treatment will probably begin with Casodex and then add Lupron. I have an appointment early Wednesday morning with my urological

Not sure if I was clear about the source of the wounds.
I have just started on
Faslodex
/Ibrance . Maybe that will kill the cancer or at least shrink the tumours away from the skin. I know the doctors were hoping for shrinkage. Taking a week off Ibrance because of low blood. Anyone out there heard of t his happening?

Monotherapy to gain extra survival.
I am wondering about studies where you only take one drug at a time to stretch out survival. In no order but for example Xtandi till it stops then ADT till it quits working then Zytiga etc. Would this not give you extra survival? Is the above sequencing. Does combining hurt Monotherapy effective time

Continue teaching while on Ibrance?
I am 48 and will be starting Ibrance and
Faslodex
soon. During IV chemo in 2017, I was able to keep working as a high school teacher with only one trip to the hospital for a fever after the first round of six.

CT Scan - Update
My test results will also let my oncologist know if I should come off of
Faslodex
and/or Lupron as well. Chemo teaching on October 4th so we should know everything by then. :-) Good news is that this can be worked around my travel plans but we’re playing it by ear.

Casodex
Saw my Oncologist on the 1st Nov, PSA has been 0.28 since I finished Chemo in May (originally 1386). I'm on Diphereline (ADT) for 12 months now and he just started giving me Casodex. I just wondered why he did this if everything is stable, any ideas?

Has anyone had sciatic nerve pain from nurse injecting
faslodex
shot in sciatic nerve, rather than the buttock muscles. If so, how long did the pain last. I read that this is sometimes done accidentally. It scares me. Blessings, Hannah

Saw MO yesterday
Saw my MO yesterday, it's been 3 months and I was a little apprehensive because my pain has been increasing and I suppose you always worry a little around these times. PSA is still .028 so I'll assume the pain is maybe just the colder/damper weather. He gave me an infusion (cannot remember the name)
