Problems with Zytiga / Prednisone
Hi All, I was put on Zytiga and Prednisone by my oncologist about six weeks ago after being on ADT and casodex. My onc said that adding Zytiga would extend life. Before starting with the Zytiga and being on adt plus casodex, my PSA was .2 and T was 290. With Zytiga and Prednisone added after six weeks

continued pain
my bone mets started in my pelvis last November. have been on ibrance and
faslodex
since then. - having an aching discomfort in same area that doesn't seem to go away. Do you think that means the drugs are not working or does it take a long time for bones to heal? Starting to worry!

PSA dropped to 3.9 this month after rising to 4.3 from the 3.8 two months ago
After the scare last month, I added 1000mg of Metformin to the daily 2gms, doubled the daily Lipitor and Casodex. Maybe the PSA was just an outlier. Still doing IF and CBD oil. Gonna add DIM and Nattokinase this time and check again. Did a 5k race and got a great view of the Queen Mary. I came in 3rd

Erleads Medication
Started Erleada roughly 1 month ago. Have prostate Cancer diagnosed since early 2001. Various treatments over the years Lupron, Casodex, firmagon injection have kept my PSA low at the cost of severe side effects, I.e. moody, angry, tired, etc. All have kept the Prostate Cancer contained.

Long Overdue Update
I’ve been hiding from this site because sometimes I feel like I’m already drowning in cancer. Yet, I find whenever I post I have received useful information, kind support, and I hope pieces of our experience may benefit others. We are nearing 2 years since my husband was diagnosed. At time of diagnosis

Second opinion with well known bc onc
When I started on
Faslodex

No Med changed- continue Ibrance’s,
faslodex
and xygeva. I think my theory was more accurate— what came up on mri did not show up on pet scan. So unless other symptoms develop I will have mri’ s done. I am tired of this issue.

Advanced Metastatic P C with a PSA of 1.2?
At the time of diagnosis, 29May19, the PSA was only 2.14. I've had Casodex and a 6 month shot of Lupron. This week the PSA is down to 1.2. Is there any significance to having an aggressive Prostate Cancer despite having a low PSA? Ten years ago my PSA was 1.5, five years ago it was 2.1. Biopsy: "FINAL

Seeking advice about Xeloda dosing and side effect management.
After two months on
Faslodex
/Ibrance my CA 15-3 is skyrocketing and liver mets are increasing. I will probably be starting oral Xeloda very soon. I would really appreciate hearing from those of you who have used it.

Gleason score without prostate biopsy
My dad has stage four PC with bone and spinal mets. He’s on Casodex and Lupron. Seeing his urologist again next week. Does he need an oncologist too? Can we get a Gleason if the Doctor doesn’t want to do a biopsy of prostate. It has been classified as adenocarcinoma. So many questions.... what else should
