Migraines with Faslodex?
Hi All, I have been taking a combination therapy of Ibrance (100mg), Aromasin since 4/16 and had
Faslodex
shots added in April of 2018 because of some new spots found. Stage 4 with Bone Mets only so far.

Faslodex and Xeloda
I have been on
Faslodex
for nearly 7 years now some flunctuation is very normal, although I have never had CA 27 29 higher than 80. My Mets is to the bone and that seems to be the best of the Mets.

WTF?
Hey Boys, I rarely post on here. Here's my history: Diagnosed 09/05, stage IV aged 45. Gleason 4+3. Treatment path: Lupron for 2 years, seeds and 36 sessions of radiation. My PSA eventually goes up and I am put back on Lupron. Six months ago my PSA was 2.3. In August it was 8.5 and I started back on

Xtandi - Please help
Hi everyone, My father's PSA keeps rising. It is now 460. It was 300 three weeks ago. He had Casodex, Lucrin, Zytiga, prostatetomy, radiation therapy, orchietomy, chemo (Taxotere, Taxotere+carboplatin, Jevtana). All failed. We saw a doctor (in the US) who prescribed Xtandi. My father does not live in

Brain mets
I was switched from
Faslodex
and Verzenio to Temodar which is used in brain cancer and Xeloda. My optimism of finding a drug that works is failing.

Hormone therapy and endo-brain
Letrozole has now been switched to
Faslodex
. I had noticed recently that I was having trouble finding a word I wanted to say. Like making a phone call and then a word I needed, like “refill a prescription “, would not come into my mind.

My prostate cancer diagnosed Gleason 3 + 3 in 2011 and treated with brachytherapy in 2011 is now a metastatic disease with many lymph nodes involved. Today I took the first Casodex pill in preparation for the first Lupron shot in two weeks time. Previously, I was treated with ADT and cyberknife in 2016

My latest update
Well it is now November 2018 and things have progressed. In July my baby daughter, 56 this year, accompanied to see my urologist to review my latest PSA test. It was 0.98; my lowest ever was 0.3 and highest 1.03. My urologist saw this as a positive sign and I laughed out loud. My reading of published

CA 27 29 fluctuating
Started
Faslodex
and Ibrance in July. ANC dropped to 0.3. Had to take 3 weeks off to recover. Last months CA 27 29 dropped to 113. Started the 100 mg Ibrance about 3 weeks ago, but last weeks CA 27 29 was up to 123. Are fluctuations to be expected or was it due to 3 weeks off?

Quesey stomach and slight headache
I was taking 125 Ibrance for 3 months and my doctor lowered the dose to 100, along with Xgeva and
Faslodex
injections. I was feeling pretty good but for the past several days I wake up with a sick stomach and dull headache. In addition I am more tired than usual.

Enzalutamide Resistant already?
After my husband's PSA did not respond to zytiga, after rising post docetaxel while on Lupron and Casodex, he was switched to Enzalutamide. His PSA went from 6 to 1.0 ( August to September 12) in a month, now a month later( September 12-October 28) it's already back up to 1.6. Is he really already resistant
