RO said 6-12 months
My dad finished radiation a couple days ago and his RO (I was not present) told him he probably has 6-12 months to live, and maybe another 6 months with chemo. I am shocked that he gave such a short time. He did say this was palliative radiation for the prostate and bone mets to his hip and pelvis.

Casodex
I did not have orchiectomy after consulting with the urologist about it. He suggested going back on Lupron. He started me on casodex until I go back to the oncologist for Lupron. I was 3.7 and after 10 days I went Dow to 2.04. PSA Since I have not had any real reactions to the casodex he suggests

A bit of a set back
He thinks that's it's probably a result of coming off
faslodex
and having a month on letrazole before going back onto
faslodex
in February. He's not doing any further tests at the moment but is going to look at it again in 3 months.

METs and Ibrance
But then after the lung biopsy and METs diagnosis I decided to give the Ibrance and
Faslodex
a chance. Started the 125 mg but took a month off because of the drop of my neutrophils and white blood cells.

Taking Ibrance and Faslodex
I just restarted
Faslodex
injection again. I was on it for 4 years and stopped all treatment for 2 years and now the breast cancer has spread to liver and lymph node.

Faslodex lumps??
Last treatment (1month ago today) I developed large lumps at both injection sites. When I say large I mean ovoid, the width of my palm with the length up to the last joint of my fingertips. Today-treatment day, I still have 1” size knots at the sites. Nurse told me it was not uncommon with people who

Scrotum Itch
Shortly after starting ADT, I've developed this excruciating scrotum itch. Has anyone else experienced this? Specifics: About 4 months ago Dx Stage IV. Started Casodex, Lupron, Zytiga, Xgeva, Prednisone. In about a month, developed scrotum itch, which isn't getting better. At first thought it was associated

Still undetectable 56 months after DX w/ original 209 PSA and bone mets..
Hi all; Great news today still showing a PSA of <0.02. I never ever thought that this would have been possible after my initial horrific DX let alone that I would still be alive. Still on the monthly injection of Firmagon (which I hate) and daily 50 mg of Casodex. I do have to admit that the side effects
