Zometa for bone strength to be given only with multiple bone Mets or to all stage 4 patients ? Even stage 4 with multiple lymph node Mets ?
Hi, My dad, 75.5 years old was recently diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer with PSMA PET SCAN showing Mets to multiple distant lymph nodes and one met on the pelvic lymph node. He does not have any pain and got detected due to a constipation problem. His initial psa was 114 ng/ml, Gleason 4+4, he

Just came back from Dr. Appt. Erleada failing
Hi all. First posting here. I "had" nmCRPC and was put on Erleada about a year ago. It worked great for a while. My PSA went down to .15. Then three months ago it went to .3. In addition, I was having a great deal of problems with side effects. Basically, I would feel good for a few days, and

Afinitor and diabetes and other questions.
My metastatic breast cancer has not responded well to Ibrance,
Faslodex
, and Xgeva. My wbc count tanked/cancer markers soared. She wants to move me to afinitor and aromasin. I am diabetic and worry that the afinitor will mess with my blood sugar. Anyone have any experience with this?

Looks like a bit of ADT induced anemia
CBC test shows below normal RBCs, HGBs, and hemtocrit. Maybe, that's why i feel sluggish during my walk/runs :-) On a sorta good note PSA at 4.4 and T at 14 - so no doubling! It was 4.0 last month. Still on Metformin (2000mg/day) and Lipitor(10mg) and Casodex I'm going to try and supplement with this

Dr. Is Recommending Xeloda
My wife has been on Ibrance and
Faslodex
but it appears to not be as effective as it was. The doctor has recommended Xeloda. What has been your experience with Xeloda?

Positive immunotherapy trial results
Side effects are minimal and less than ibrance/
faslodex
that did not work for me. This is the first time any of my mets have shrunk, so needless to say, I am thrilled!

possible treatment change/ markers increasing
I did 2 years of arimidex, and have been on
faslodex
since 2/2018 and ibrance since 4/2018. I had to stop xgeva after a year due to ONJ (last dose 12/2018). Onc had me hold my ibrance/
faslodex
to draw markers after my week off.

Remedy for Extremely Dry Face?
I am assuming this is from the
Faslodex
(& in combination with IBrance). I am on my 2nd round of
Faslodex
shots in 2 weeks. I have another round in two weeks then it goes to monthly, Does anyone else have this. If so, what do you recommend?

change in meds to afinitor & exemestance
Hi again, I was on ibrance &
faslodex
but the past 3 months my ca 27 29 markers have been climbing 71 to 97 to 109. My Onc is leaving my healthcare system and has set me up with a new Onc. They met before I was seen today, and decided to switch me to Afinitor 5mg and Exemestance 25 mg.

PET Scan Results
He told me that we will continue with present meds which means that I will still be on Ibrance/
Faslodex
. What was new though but is not cancerous is that I have developed fibrosis in my left lung which may be due to inflammation or infection.

Any one knows of a spontaneous regression
Hi everyone My father in law has advanced prostate cancer, the cancer has metastasized to his hip, one vertebra and a rib. He is currently on Xtandi after he showed resistance to Casodex. I read about spontaneous regression of cancer, and I was wondering if there are any cases among this community and

Anyone heard of Piqray?
You take it with
Faslodex
which I was on for 11 years before the damn cancer showed up again. Just curious if anyone had heard of it. I know we end up having to change treatments some times but do you ever feel like you are just over it. I am sick of being a patient.

Liver scan after finding new growths after cat scan?
Went on Ibrance, Xgeva, and
faslodex
. My cancer markers dropped dramatically. Then, at my June labs, it showed that my cancer markers had nearly doubled. My wbc and neuts were in the toilet. I was taken off all meds and got a cat scan.

Good news
Treatment is working- ibrance/
faslodex
/cygeva. No new Mets- no progression. Decreased activity in most tumors and many are forming sclerotic tissue (healing?!). He can’t explain pain in my ribs where there are 2 but they are stable. Okay.
