My husband recently started Lupron and Casodex for stage 3b prostate cancer. Will begin 45 radiation treatments soon. Does anyone have any experience as to the effectiveness of this treatment and ..what has been your experience with side effects to the radiation treatment? Thank you.

Stopping/Restarting Endocrine Therapy?
Prior therapies included: - Arimidex for 5 years prior to progression and MBC diagnosis - iBrance/
Faslodex
for 2 years - Talzenna for the past year which now seems to be losing its effectiveness. We’re wondering if Letrozole monotherapy might be an option.

Yikes - progression! 😳
I have mets to my spine & been 2-1/2 years on Ibrance &
Faslodex
. After a recent jump in tumor markers I had a CT scan, which showed "disease progression". I do know it has NOT progressed to any internal organs, but that's all I know at this point.

Medicare part D
I have to go on Medicare part D since I was switched to Ibrance from
faslodex
. Apparently Medicare does not pay for cancer treatments in pill form . My question is which part d do you use. I have straight Medicare, so don't want to go with an HMO or Advantage plan.

Faslodex injections
How much
Faslodex
injection do you get at one time? Because I thought I saw somewhere here that they inject one butt cheek and the following time, the other and so alternating. Today I got my first one and they injected a full large syringe in each butt cheek for a total of 500 mg.

Gemcetabine and Faslodex?
Is anyone else on Gemcetabine and
Faslodex
? Keen to hear your success stories, side effects, experiences! I’m working full time and have done so for the whole five years I’ve been treated for MBC…My lovely oncologist is trying to meet my brief of staying away from harsh chemo treatments!!

Thank you for being here for me!
Post-surgery radiation was initially considered, but ultimately decided against considering extensive spinal cord edema Had an appointment with my oncologist who suggested to change the treatment to abemaciclob and
Faslodex
.

Faslodex refrigerated versus non refrigerated
Faslodex
injections for 3 years with no problems , awesome pet scans to non refrigerated. The side effected were so apparent. I felt horrible. Wonder why ? So I asked and complained because I was that uncomfortable 🥵. I’m not a complainer.

How should I interpret this PSA reading?
Brief summary of my situation: Age 65. aPCa diagnosed 11-30-21. Gleason 9 - 10. PSA was relatively low -- 4.68. Currently on Eligard only, but plan to add Zytiga VERY soon and possibly/probably Docytosel. ************************************************************************************** My question
