A year into MBC to Bones
Oncologist saw a small amount of progression and changed letrozole to
Faslodex
. My scans are stable with no progression to organs. I've struggled with neutropenia and am now on the lowest strength of Ibrance (75mg). My last blood work again showed mild neutropenia.

Hi đź‘‹ everyone.....
I take Ibrance and
Faslodex
. I had to lower dosage of Ibrance because WBC dangerously low all the time. Now they want to lower to 75mg because still low and getting a lot of fevers. This is awful. I found out I had bc 6 months after I got engaged.

Today's "Report Card" 2 mos. into Zytiga/Pred added to Lupron
My husband and I saw Dr. Matthew Smith at Mass General today. Everyone's satisfied with the trend: the 1.8 PSA today dropped down from 4.08 on 2/28/19. This is nine weeks after Zytiga/Prednisone was added to Lupron on 2/9/2019. I recently added Alkaline Phostaphase data to the signature below. Here's

Recent liver progression after stable bone mets. Researching treatments and reaching out. X
My oncologist has started me on Everolimus and exemestane as Ibrance and
faslodex
isn't available in the channel islands unless it's first line only. Can I ask what other lines of treatment others are taking and whether surgery was an option for you? I'm also considering S.I.R.T treatment.

Adding Casodex (Bicalutamide) a good idea ?
I’d like to ask this community about the wisdom of adding Casodex to standard ADT. Background: Dx Feb 2018, PSA 168; multiple mets to bones. Firmagon monthly Feb - Nov switched to 3 monthly Dipherelin in Nov. 6 rounds of Docetaxel Apr - Jul. PSA nadir 0.4 in Aug. rose slightly to 0.64 by Mar 2019

Low WBC on Faslodex?
I had my first
Faslodex
shots 2 weeks ago. No immediate side effects (just slightly sore butt) but my WBC dropped from 4.4 to 3.5.....the very bottom of "normal". Wondering if others have this side effect and if your count kept dropping with successive shots.

My Story
It all started in October 2017 with a regular visit to my PCP for prescription refills. Once the check up was completed and I was leaving he called out to me and said "Hey, you're due for your annual blood work" sure I got some time and they drew the blood. 12 hours later I get the results online. Normal

Rising CA15.3 and 27.29 but no PET evidence of anything
Radiation destroyed the tumor as of Aug 2017 and I was put on Ibrance and
Faslodex
. White counts suffered so was reduced from 125 to 100 to 75mg Ibrance. As of Sep 2018 markers began to rise, and not fall as they have for past year. Numbers are low - only 40 when active cancer found.

LU 177 now or later?
I had a prostectomy by robotic surgery 7 years ago. It was Gleason 9 and had a little outside the capsule, but my surgeon thought he got it all, so sent me home to have PSA'a 4 x per year. The highest my PSA had been was 8.8 before surgery. In 2018, my PSA started to climb to about 0.6, so I was sent
