Casodex + Lupron (Blockers v Killers)
I am on the generic for Casodex + the Lupron shot. My question is: Since Casodex is the hormone receptor blocker and Lupron is the T killer, why not just take drugs that block T and skip the Lupron? If we get the T down and the PSA down, what if those results were from the hormones being blocked at

EO up
Hey everyone, had my
Faslodex
second injections yesterday no pain. My blood work is back to normal except my EO Went from 2.2 to 8.1 in 2 weeks. It was normal before my
Faslodex
injection. Has anyone else had this with
Faslodex
? It says infection or sinus can cause increase.

Casodex
My husband (metastatic PCa) has had encouraging results on Casodex monotherapy: in one month on 50mg/day his PSA plunged from 73 to 5.2. On the increased dose of 150 mg/day the following month (Pharmacy gave incorrect instructions) after one month it is now 1.6. He takes the generic form of the drug,

Xtandi stomach pain
Started my PC journey 9 years ago, diagnosed with Gleason 9, and a poor prognosis. I was told surgery was not an option and started radiation. 54 treatments kept my psa under 1.0 for almost 3 years, then Lupron on and of for another 3 years...very effective. Side effects were terrible but eventually

Would like to know about Casodex
What is the reason for adding Casodex for someone who is already on Lupron?

Faslodex and weight gain?
I would like to know if anyone on
Faslodex
has gained weight? I gained 2 pounds and was reading
Faslodex
causes weight gain. I’m not worried about a few pounds but some said 20 pounds... I know I have gotten older but don’t need extra weight to slow me down more.

Lucrin Side Effects
Has anyone developed a chronic cough and trying to clear throat whilst on Lucrin? My husband Bob has been on Lucrin, Casodex and Avodart for about a year, and for at least the last 3 months has a chronic cough. Had an X-ray & CT Scan but all clear. Cheers Lee

The Importance Of Regular Scans
Hi everyone. I am posting this here tonight because I feel that it is so important that all of you brave men ask for scans to be carried out regularly. In Paul's case, I think we could have discovered the liver mets sooner if a scan had been performed earlier. Now I am not saying that the doctors made

Update on my situation and request opinion
I wrote 5 month ago asking for opinion on the Sex Hormone Binding Globulin possible effect on the testosterone available for PC cells. I had prostatectomy in 2004, external beam radiation in 2006 when PSA increased from 0.064 to 0.89. Resulting PSA 0.077. PSA 2.2 in late 2009 prompted an evaluation

Port...
I will be taking
Faslodex
but isn’t that injections? It’s very large and on my left side of my chest. I know some women that keep them forever. I know women that just keep them in if Chemo is needed again. I’m sure my oncologist will say keep it in..😞.

Response to Zytiga
Can anyone point me towards stats on how many men respond to Zytiga once the PSA starts to rise on Lupron/ casodex? Also, how long the average response is? Thanks ❤️🌈

Muscle Aches
I am currently on Ibrance and
Faslodex
and have muscle aches and spasms. I just finished the 3rd cycle amends. Has anyone noted increased muscle pain on these meds?
