With good Zytiga response, do I really need Lupron for adjunctive ADT pre-Brachy?
Five weeks ago, started adjunctive ADT in prep for HDR Brachy in a few weeks. Scholz at POS recommended Casodex, Lupron, and Zytiga together. Due to delays in approvals, and whatnot, the first 3 weeks I was on Casodex alone, dropped PSA from 33 to 21. Then added Zytiga+Pred for last two weeks, and PSA

What’s next? Hearing different approaches from different people.
Dad had his orchiectomy 6 months ago. He lives in India. He was diagnosed with PSA of 64, bone Mets (stage 4) and Gleason 9. He was put on casodex and zolendronic acid (bone medicine). His 3 months check up after orchiectomy was 18, so he continued with the current plan. On His 6 months check up, the

Stop Casodex if on Lupron and Zytiga?
See my profile for more details. I've been on Casodex + Lupron + Zytiga for about 3 months. PSA is decreasing fast. During recent appointment, my oncologist said I can stop taking Casodex. I was a bit surprised because I've read that simultaneous Casodex (50mg tablet 1/d) and Lupron (injection 1/3 mo

Rapid PSA decrease?
Newbie here. See my icon summary (what do you call it?) for specifics. I was diagnosed Stage IV PC January 2019, and started Casodex + Lupron + Zytiga + Xgeva + Prednisone. My PSA was 111 on 1/15/19, 65 on 3/15/19, and 4.6 on 4/10/19. Is that change typical for someone after 3 months od ADT? Does it

I was switched to
Faslodex

My situation summary
Learned of my PC through an odd sequence of events: Late 2018, I mentioned to my neurologist that my L index finger was a bit numb, and she ordered a neck MRI (overkill for such a small issue, I thought). 1/11/19 MRI indicated metastatic tumor on C6 & C7 (neck bones), so off to the oncologist and other

Questions about assembling a care team
What a long week and a half this has been. My husband was diagnosed something like 14 days ago and admitted last Friday for bleeding from a kidney stone procedure. He's been in and out of critical ever since. Yesterday, he took his first walk and ate semi solid food (whipped sweet potatoes and eggs).

A year into MBC to Bones
Oncologist saw a small amount of progression and changed letrozole to
Faslodex
. My scans are stable with no progression to organs. I've struggled with neutropenia and am now on the lowest strength of Ibrance (75mg). My last blood work again showed mild neutropenia.

Hi 👋 everyone.....
I take Ibrance and
Faslodex
. I had to lower dosage of Ibrance because WBC dangerously low all the time. Now they want to lower to 75mg because still low and getting a lot of fevers. This is awful. I found out I had bc 6 months after I got engaged.

Today's "Report Card" 2 mos. into Zytiga/Pred added to Lupron
My husband and I saw Dr. Matthew Smith at Mass General today. Everyone's satisfied with the trend: the 1.8 PSA today dropped down from 4.08 on 2/28/19. This is nine weeks after Zytiga/Prednisone was added to Lupron on 2/9/2019. I recently added Alkaline Phostaphase data to the signature below. Here's

Recent liver progression after stable bone mets. Researching treatments and reaching out. X
My oncologist has started me on Everolimus and exemestane as Ibrance and
faslodex
isn't available in the channel islands unless it's first line only. Can I ask what other lines of treatment others are taking and whether surgery was an option for you? I'm also considering S.I.R.T treatment.

Adding Casodex (Bicalutamide) a good idea ?
I’d like to ask this community about the wisdom of adding Casodex to standard ADT. Background: Dx Feb 2018, PSA 168; multiple mets to bones. Firmagon monthly Feb - Nov switched to 3 monthly Dipherelin in Nov. 6 rounds of Docetaxel Apr - Jul. PSA nadir 0.4 in Aug. rose slightly to 0.64 by Mar 2019
