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

Faslodex

Major issues on GemCarbo and losing weight
Eribulin was a cake walk, Ibrance and
Faslodex
I felt like i didn’t even have cancer. Even Taxol for 9 months was easy for me. Now I’ve had three cycles of Gemcarbo and I feel like I’m back when I was diagnosed.

Ibrance/Faslodex stopped working
I started taking Ibrance/
Faslodex
in January/February. My dr. had me stop taking both and is recommending infusion chemotherapy (ugh!). I meet with the nurse practitioner today to go over recommended treatment. I guess this is pretty serious, but I don't feel awful.

One year into treatment!
Was diagnosed with MBC and have been on Ibrance
Faslodex
and Xgeva for a year. Had spinal stenosis to begin with and am now having a really hard time walking. Anyone else have this problem? Am seeing a vascular doctor next week and a back surgeon the following week.

Dreading Scan.....
I’m just taking
Faslodex
and know that I need targeted therapy for best results. So if I can please get some prayers I would appreciate it. I know you all understand that scan feeling. When I tell people and friends there like oh it will be fine, they mean well but don’t really understand.

Ibrance, watery eyes and how other Stage 4 Breast Cancer, HR+ PR+ HER2- are doing 5 1/2 years after diagnosis.
I had radiation treatments and I am now on Ibrance,
Faslodex
and XGeva. Ibrance was not available when I was diagnosed. I have been on Ibrance for 4 or 5 months. I do get really tired, especially lately. My eyes are watering. I have read others on Ibrance have watery eyes too.

Severe left shoulder pain with popping!
I just got my
Faslodex
and Dr. out of country. I go back in less then 2 weeks. This pain didn’t start until injections. I also have bursitis so I’m wondering maybe a combo of cancer, bursitis, and
Faslodex
? Can I wait for follow up since I didn’t fall or lift to heavy.

Switch from Firmagon to Zoladex
Met with my Urologist yesterday. I've been on Firmagon for 3 months, PSA dropped from 38 to 0.44 ug/L and Testosterone down to 0.6 nmol/L. He would like my testosterone to be lower so is switching me to Casodex and Zoladex. For background, I'm Gleason 4+4 and cancer in lymph nodes but not distant

What To Do
For those that don't know me I was diagnosed back in early July with Advanced Prostate Cancer. A biopsy found it in all core samples taken. (12) Gleason 7, stage IV, grade group 3. It wasn't found in my bones but was found in my right iliac chain lymph node & aortocaval lymph node. This was really my

Stopping Zytiga after 6months
After our last checkup with our med onco last Friday, he mentioned that my husband can stop taking Zytiga if his PSA drops to below zero after 6months treatment and just continue with Eligard and Xgeva. Brief info, my husband was diagnosed with advanced pca late June 2018 (PSA 33) with mets to bones

Good pet scan results-
I got my
faslodex
injection today as usual Nd always notice that my urine tends to have a pungent odor for a day or two after. I always want to ask my doctor about it but never remember to do so. Anyone experience this? Just curious.
