Shorter time castrate resistant = Zytiga and Xtandi will last even less than first line ADT?
Not always the case, my father became castrate resistant in 2 months with Casodex but is currently on almost his 5th month on Zytiga and doing well so far, so if you fail first line ADT it doesn't necessarily mean that 2nd line ADT will last less. Every patient is unique and responds differently to different

Preferred Time of Day to Take Ibrance?
After completing a course of Taxol she has been prescribed a combination of
Faslodex
and IBrance. She has completed the first 4 cycles of
Faslodex
and will, within the next month or so, start the IBrance. My questions: 1. Is there a preferred time of day to take IBrance? 2.

Hi We have just returned home from a most disappointing appointment with the oncologist. A quick reminder my husband was diagnosed in 2009 with locally advanced prostate cancer. Surgery to remove prostate was aborted due to lymph node involvement, started zoladex injections and had 39 fractions of radiotherapy

Any advice on how/ what to eat to increase calorie intake - I’m starting to look anorexic and although always on slimmer side, this is getting scary 😕 MBC dx last November and have been on Ibrance /
faslodex

Knee, foot and joint pain on Ibrance, Faslodex and Xgeva
Dr. says probably from
Faslodex
and that it's building in my system. No estrogen=joint pain. First, anyone else having this issue? If so, what did you do about it? Should I try to cut back on
faslodex
? Anyone had experience with this?

PSA from 86.6-1
On 7/18 PSA at 86.6. 8/7/18 Lupron + Casodex On 9/14 PSA at 1. Question- is that kind of a PSA drop normal, average? Is Lupron + Casodex considered a cancer killer or just slows it down?

Risk of infection
I'm taking Ibrance 125,
faslodex
and Denosomab and I'm a bit confused about its effect on my immune system, so I'm hoping that you may be able to help. My job involves working in a crowded office and attending meetings where there are members of the public.

Seriousness of "Flair" on Eligard
wondering about flair and what help is casodex? I'm in 2 weeks since 6mo shot and other than a few surprise "stiffie's" the SE are not bad yet.. last check of T before shot was 230 maybe that might be some of the answer. Ed

New Meds
They may change both my meds
Faslodex
and Ibrance. Is anyone on Verzenio and having good results and no side effects? Not sure if she is putting me on it just asking in case.

Is anyone having side effects of the Ibrance, Faslodex and Xgeva?
I'm starting my 5 month of IBRANCE, Xgeva and
Faslodex
for Mets in my lumbar, sternum and pelvis. I Had 15 radiation treatments to the lumbar prior to starting the treatment.

Good appointment!
My Ca 2729 was down only 7 but I’m only taking
Faslodex
. I got my
Faslodex
injections and tolerated well. No need for scans as I haven’t been on anything to test. Now September is when I start something but not sure what. I believe all of you that prayed for me is helping, thank you 🙏!

Drop in psa a bad thing?
Initial Psa 352 on August 8. Gleason 9 with extensive Mets. Casodex started August 20 Telstar shot on August 28 PSA on Sept 4 is 89. I thought this was a good result, but I have read some reports that suggests such a rapid response is a poor prognosis indicator, or a shorter time to crpc.

Got My Scan Results
Guess I got second best News: no new lesions but some have grown And Onc wants to stop letrozole and start
Faslodex
. I have read about women on this board who take this. My lesions are in my lungs. Besides this being a progression, I have to go for shots instead of popping a pill.

Hi. I started my adventure a year ago today, 8/31/2017. I guess it's time to say hello. I'll throw down my numbers. Maybe it will make some of you feel better about your numbers. Last summer I started to have some old-man urinary symptoms. I was 51, so they seemed par for the course. I was feeling a
