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

Hair loss
Hi all I am on month seven of Ibrance
Faslodex
and Xgeva. Starting to lose my hair. I first noticed it was thinning and now see pieces of hair all over. Any ideas or information about this. I’m going to buy a snood today. Does it eventually come back. ? Gwennie

Ibrance changed to Faslodex
Mom was just changed from Ibrance to
faslodex
. Last scan showed a couple of very small but new spots in bones but it still hasn’t spread anywhere else. Anyone else have this happen? She’s discouraged of course but our team says this is “normal” to tweak and change meds. Thanks all!

ADT PSA
I am on Lupron and Casodex. My PSA went from 0.1 to 0.01. Is this common?

Ibrance honeymoon over
It's been a good run, but after 18 months on Ibrance and
Faslodex
, indicators are telling my oncologist it's time for a change in meds. He put me on Xeloda, which I start in 2 weeks. Of course, I'm scared of the side effects and how this new drug will react in my body.

Next line of treatment: too many options
Hello all, I would be so grateful for some advice or thoughts on my dad's situation. He's 70 y/o, diagnosed metastatic PC in March 2018, with numerous mets to many bones. We were caught off guard--he was (and still is) physically feeling pretty well. At its highest, PSA was 56. He's being treated by

Itchy Eyes with Discharge on Ibrance/Faslodex
I’ve been on Ibrance/
Faslodex
for 11 cycles now and have recently been experiencing itchy, watery eyes with some discharge. Has anyone experienced this as a side effect while on Ibrance/
Faslodex
? Or is this an allergic reaction? If so, what medication did you take to alleviate it?

RO said 6-12 months
My dad finished radiation a couple days ago and his RO (I was not present) told him he probably has 6-12 months to live, and maybe another 6 months with chemo. I am shocked that he gave such a short time. He did say this was palliative radiation for the prostate and bone mets to his hip and pelvis.

Casodex
I did not have orchiectomy after consulting with the urologist about it. He suggested going back on Lupron. He started me on casodex until I go back to the oncologist for Lupron. I was 3.7 and after 10 days I went Dow to 2.04. PSA Since I have not had any real reactions to the casodex he suggests

A bit of a set back
He thinks that's it's probably a result of coming off
faslodex
and having a month on letrazole before going back onto
faslodex
in February. He's not doing any further tests at the moment but is going to look at it again in 3 months.
