Holy Cow - The Benefit Of Most Cancer Drugs Is Marginal and Clinical Trials Overstate Benefits
No wonder most drugs have such dismal results...Give me IADT with 50 mg Casodex Gus http://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/general-oncology/cancer-clinical-trials-overstate-new-drug-survival-benefit/article/634236/

Metastatic prostate cancer and Zytiga is probably failing.
Sister of brother with advanced prostate cancer. My brother is 68 years old and was diagnosed in 8/2015. His PSA was at about 1200 at one point. Casodex worked for a couple of months and now he is on Zytiga. I am hoping to get him into Dana Farber soon

Lupron Almost Always Works but Is The Grim Reaper...But Here is a Case when Less is Better Than More
I have read hundreds of case histories of PCa because the best predictor of the future is to study the past. The usual scenario...BCR after primary therapy or mPCa at diagnosis. At this point you can do a PSMA scan or Choline 11 scan to locate the hot spots. If Oligo ( 5 or fewer) go after the PCa again

Starting ADT
We met with the oncologist at UCSF. My husband will be part of the PSMA MRI clinical study that evaluates a new scan being developed for prostate cancer. They will be doing gene sequencing on his primary cancer in the prostate as well as sequencing the lymph nodes. Since he has been diagnosed as stage

Hi! Lobular BC with bone mets....
I did not respond well with the anti- hormone drugs Arimidex, Tamoxifen, or
Faslodex
. I am currently on Xeloda, an oral chemo pill, and am responding pretty well. I just completed 24 infusions or 2 years of Zometa, a bone strengthener.

What would you do?
Brothers: Two pelvic lymph nodes, tumor burden in one, was 2.7cm, in the other it was 2.5cm. Now, one year later, with only 150mg daily of casodex monotherapy, both nodes have been reduced to 1.6cm. PSA one year ago was 105; now it is 6.7 I am thinking of adding Advodart and monitoring the two nodes

Starting the journey with family
Hi all, My father was diagnosed about a month ago with advanced prostate cancer that has metastasized. English is not his first language and he is still absorbing all the information and its implications, so I am doing my best to research and communicate information. We are being treated at NYU Langone

Support Group in Los Angeles anyone?
I am wondering if anyone knows of a support group in Los Angeles area. I am stage 4 with bone and visceral Mets and failing chemo. PSA 150 and all prior stuff like Lupron Casodex zytiga xtandi etc. Insurance won't pay for xofigo. Need some advice. Can't get any at my hospital as I only see interns

Metastatic and moving forward
I am currently on Afinitor,
Faslodex
and have added CBD oil (medical marijuana) and other essential oils to my daily meds. I am not in much pain and am able to function quite normally. I treat this as a chronic disease and don't let it stop me from doing anything.

Cycling T and ADT?
I sure like the concept of Cycling T and ADT to prevent CRPC. Dr. Myers does not use this protocol and when I asked an oncologist at The Mayo Clinic about it, he drew a diagram of PCa, and said it would not work because PCa is made up of many different genetic variants including populations of cancer
