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.

hello, i'd like some help from all who's willing. my RO called and told me that my PSA is 18.67. so in addition to HDR, he wants to add eligard and EBRT. what has me so confused is, when looking at the results of my bone scan, and MRI, there's no evidence that the cancer has spread outside of my prostate

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.

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.

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

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

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

Monotherapy or ADT3?
Hola Friends, I need advice concerning Lupron as a Monotherapy or switching to ADT(3) as suggested by Maack C (2019). Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3): A Patient’s Perspective.

Update from onc today
We discussed the mixed results again- he said if they are new it depends on how resistant they are to meds-
faslodex
, ibrance. He would be more inclined to have them radiated but depends. Omg! My tumor markers just stabilized and this month showed slight decrease.

Guiding care for 76 yo husband with aggressive pca
I know most men eventually get pca. It lingers or it doesn’t. We got attacked. Psa was 3 for years. Didn’t have it checked often. Last year in the 7s. Urology said normal for 76yo. Prostate not enlarged when palpated. Went to urology for slow stream. Had that for 20 years. Started flomax

Update on Radiation Onocologist second opinion. Confused?
I visited a radiation Onocologist at MD Anderson in Tuscaloosa Al. He had a different opinion that my current Onocologist. I had surgery on March 19, 2019. Lymph node positive and seminal vessel positive. One week after surgery I had one shot of firmagon and last week one shot of Lupron. Current Onocologist

Has anyone done docetaxel with ADT as a first line treatment?
My husband was diagnosed in the last month and has only has a Firmagon shot and ~10 days of Casodex. We know he has a high volume of mets. Curious if anyone else has gone right to chemo instead of Zytiga/Xtandi or used it in conjunction as a first-line treatment? Also, are there any trials or studies
