Ibrance and faslodex
Hi. Just wondering if anyone went off these two meds because they stopped working after years and then went back on them and they worked again. I read a article from Dana Farber in Boston and it looked interesting. Thanks so much. M

Follow up after MO Visit and PSMA Pet
I have taken a lot of information from this group and so very much appreciate it... Here is where my husband is at.. Saw MO and discussed the PSMA... he is castrate resistant, psa is at .20 as of Friday.. The most interesting idea she has was to try to immediately get rid of the cancer still looming

UPDATE AFTER IMRT
Haven't posted in a while, but here's a quick update (My Bio has the full details from diagnosis to present.). After recovering from RALP in mid February I had my PSA checked in late May. PSA was 8.11 which led to my Urology Oncologist (UO) starting me on Casodex & Eligard, and ordering a GA-68 PSMA-PET

Excruciating Pain!
I’ve just started Verzenio and should start
Faslodex
next Thursday. I am totally confused as whether I should be continuing on this treatment or is that my life over now? Can anyone give me any advice? Chris

CDK12 mutation
We have had Foundation One test and Gradient Blood biopsy which both report CDK12 mutation. There is no “definitive” SOC for this rare mutation. We are in yr 5 since RP surgery, radiation, and two rounds of Lupron/Casodex. The Lupron/Casodex has stopped working. PSA went from .9 to 2.9 in 6 months

Switching from Faslodex to Xeloda
At my appointment this morning, the oncologist reported that he is switching me off the hormonal (
Faslodex
) and putting me on chemo (Xeloda). I know many of you have taken this path. If you have any suggestions, please share.

Recurrence after 2.5 year break from ADT
This is a quick note to thank all of the members here who have shared their experiences and knowledge. After a 2.5 year break from Casodex and Lupron, my husband's PSA started increasing in August 2022. It's still low but is now at 2.9. His oncologist ordered several scans including a PSMA. As results

Night Sweats from Faslodex
Hi everyone, I have been experiencing night sweats and the occasional hot flash presumably a side effect of
Faslodex
. I have been getting it since September, but this has not been an issue until recently.

Opinion?
Newly diagnosed, Gleason 9, PSA about 40 at biopsy, aggressive, PET shows low burden, two bone mets. At my age 82, although health "very good", Onc wants to avoid chemo. Just started on Casodex and will add Lupron, until PSA under control then add (switch to?) Zytiga and radiation to clean up prostate

Ibrance
I have been on ibrance and
faslodex
shots for 60 months. Well today I had scans which were stable but my tumor markers started creeping up a few month ago. They are now at 38 and my doctor said I might have to change meds.

intermittent anti androgen monotheray and bipolar androgen therapy
casodex mono therapy raised T to 1000 and going off cycle exposing naked pc to high T would be a mild form of BAT. MAYBE EVEN MORE WITH NEW AA. Has anyone thought of this interesting possibility. I have done this once for a 2-3yr period of 23 yrs of HT

New Skin lesions-- with metastatic breast cancer
I have now been 6 years on Ibrance with varied combo drugs including Exemestane, letrozole and
Faslodex
,. Numbers on my PET scan are increasing so the onc is looking to change things up. but what is most concerning to both of us is that I now have multiple skin mets on my chest.

Helpful hints starting Xeloda
After 5 1/2 years success with Ibrance, only 9 months of success with
Faslodex
. Starting on Xeloda on a few days, any helpful hints and what to expect would be appreciated.
