Update on myself and looking for all of your wisdom out there.
Just got all of my bloodwork back. My PSA is steadily climbing. After 6 rounds of chemo, daily casodex, 2 Lupron shots. Went from 138 psa, down to .09. My MO then started the Zytiga, prednisone, and continual lupron shots. Went to 1.71 then 3.71 and now 7.78. I also had a colonoscopy two weeks ago. Found

Results/question after passing of Dad
We have finally received the Foundation One results. They listed 3 genomic findings of CDKN2A/B loss, microsatellite status MS-Stable, Tumor Mutation Burden-intermediate; 8 muts. There were no FDA approved or potential clinical trials. We have about 30 pages of medical terminology that we dont understand

Side effects from Eliquis
I am now on 100 MG of Ibrance and
Faslodex
but after only 2 weeks my WBC and neutrophil count are so low I have had to hold it for 2 weeks. Has any one experienced a pulmonary embolism and been put on Eliquis and had nausea ? Does lowering the Ibrance dose improve your WBC ?

Possible side effects of drugs
I'm on Ibrance
Faslodex
and Xgeva. My ability to walk has been comprimised drastically and I've been experiencing numb feet at times. Has anyone else had any of these problems and if so can you offer any advice?

Advanced prostate cancer-gleason 9 with lupron
My father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer-gleason 9. He had a bone scan last week that revealed 3 bone mets in his pelvis and his psa is currently at a .998. Doctors were shocked about the mets because his psa is so low. They started him on Lupron and Bicutamude under the brand name Casodex

PSA dropping but pain
My husband has been Lupron, casodex and finished upfront Docetaxel( 6 cycles finished in October). DX metastatic 2/1/2017 with PSA of 1044 at 47 yrs old. His PSA has steadily dropped to 2.4 as of 6 weeks ago. This week he’s experiencing pain in his back and ribs. Is this pain a probable sign of progression

Thanks all
I have received quite a few replies following my posts about stopping treatment. I have since deleted the post while trying to delete the picture that accompanied it, that was a mistake. Thank you all for the positive and warm replies to my post. I realize that stopping treatment is not something that

Slow recovery from Chemo, Round 4, Session 2
PSA 1124, Age 59, Stage 4, Dx 3-22-16 So after watching my PSA slowly climb from the nadir at 1.45 on 12/19/16, 2017 was a year of steady increases and a bunch of therapies tried, and failed.

A wife's introductory post

He was totally symptom-less until a couple of weeks prior to official diagnosis. Because he was declared as being beyond surgery and

A month of Casodex monotherapy
I did 30 months ADT and stopped, with MedOnc approval, last shot on 03/31/17. Didn't want PCa to go castrate resistant. So, monthly PSA went 0.1- 0.1- 0.2 - 0.5 - 1.3 and 3.3. Did a month of Casodex monotherapy and got down to 3.0 and T at 291 - up 40 from last month. Same lab. maybe an outlier. Was

XTANDI SIDE EFFECTS
Hello I'm a newbie.. Here's my story. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1994, very little treatment available at that time. We started out with 38 treatments of radiation, opted out of removing the prostate since Dr. said, "cancer was detected in lymph nodes". Started taking Lupron months

Why I Like Right To Try
Lets say you have a rising PSA on Xtandi..with crossover resistance Zytiga will usually work for a few months. Hello Apalutamide..the problem here is Apalutamide is very similar to Xtandi and both drugs have a chemical structure based on Casodex...so if Apalutamide works you get maybe 3 months. Darolutamide

Xtandi
I have been on Xtandi for two months and PSA is now down to .59 and I feel much better than when I was on Lupron and Casodex. I have read the literature and it seems that Xtandi may work from three to 22 months. They don't ever seem to tell you what the standard deviation is. Has anyone on this forum

Thoughts
I have had 3 rounds of ibrance and on the
Faslodex
shots. My Dr. wants to keep me on those but wants me to do another stereotactic radiation again this will be my 2nd time for that but 4th time for radiation. Any thoughts?

Durable remission? This is from 2014 and I feel like this Dr. From the Mayo Clinic is "ahead" of my Oncologist(s)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkqizmvqJPo I'm wondering why my oncologist at U of M, (Sylvester) and my second opinion at the Moffitt Cancer Center....both said after Lupron for 10 months and 6 session of Taxoter..I'm doing so great...all of my bone mets disappeared and the few lymph nodes have either
