Testosterone level rising toward end of Lupron cycle
Hi everyone, I am a 56 year old male with bone mets in hip and femur. (Gleason - 8, 11 of 12 cores cancerous). I went on Casodex two weeks prior to my 3 month Lupron injection almost three months ago. After just over a month, my PSA level dropped from 8.8 to 1.0, and my testosterone level dropped

Choice of treatment: lupron with casodex or degarelix?
Choline PET scan shows PC in one spot of the prostate bed. PSA at 2.47. I am about to begin a course of hormone therapy for 2-3 months prior to 8 weeks of radiation to the prostate bed and continued hormone therapy. The recommended agents for the hormone therapy by the three oncology radiologists

Ranolazine + Xtandi
New study below [1]. Anyone here suffer from angina? Ranolazine might really improve PCa therapy. I have mentioned a few times that PCa cells do not switch to glucose for energy, but continue to favor fatty acids, particularly palmitic acid. "We have found that deficient lipid oxidation via carnitine

Julie new with breast mets
I have had radiation (10) to the hip and I'm taking XGEVA,
FASLODEX
, IBRANCE. My recent scans show no new cancer spots and the bone is slowly healing. I've experienced very little side effects on these 3 drugs.

Ibrance after anti-hormone drugs?
Am Est+ and have cycled through Arimidex, Tamoxifen,
Faslodex
shots, and am now on Xeloda for almost 2 years. My Oncologist wants to put me on Ibrance with Letrozole next, but a consulting Oncologist says NO!

How to determine a true and pristine psa doubling time and use it to manage therapy.
I am casodex 150 mg and avodart .5 mg and has been bouncing around between 3 and 5 for about a yr and a nurse told me about 5yr. doubling time. But now its been going up around .6 every month for the past 3 months. Psa is now 5,83. Had 3d conformal beam r.t. so i I still have a prostate and a high testosterone

Thank you all.
I have been on the same therapy since my stage IV diagnosis (
Faslodex
, Xgeva and Arimidex). Currently, there is no progression of disease. I feel very fortunate to respond this well to this therapy. I find this disease to be very disheartening at times, and hope is my best friend.

Hi, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer right before my 55 birthday. I was diagnosed in Sep. 2015. My PSA was 206 and my Gleason score was 9. 11 of 12 Biopsy cores were positive. The PC was also listed as metastatic in my hips. I have switched my original Oncologist in Tulsa OK to another

Saw a newly diagnosed man's PSA go from 400+ to .61.
I recently met a newly-diagnosed man in a nearby Prostate Cancer Support Group. Already metastatic to many bones, and with pelvic area bone pains. He took Casodex to prevent a "flare" and started Lupron. Also had one Zometa infusion. Then, per the CHAARTED trial results (favoring earlier rather than
