Experiences with

Faslodex

Hello all. I hope everyone is doing well. Just wanted to give everyone an update on my husband. I had to take mike to the emergency room Sunday afternoon because he was having shortness of breath and thought his hemoglobin might have been low and he might need a blood transfusion (he’s already had 3)

I was just switched to it as the Ibrance/ faslodex stopped working ( over the year it had shrunk all 8 tumors) yet now have 3 new tumors in spine. Also started radiation again( SABRT) it’s very targeted and strong so only get zapped 3 days a week so body can recover before next zap.

Press release below. {On a side note, I have used "ADT" in the past to mean classic ADT, because everyone seemed to be doing it. It made me uneasy, since Abiraterone is a form of ADT, and the androgen receptor antagonists, such as Casodex & Enzalutamide can be viewed as forms of ADT. In fact, I was

Thankfully, the Ibrance-which I chose to continue at 75 mg, and the Faslodex are working. The scan in December came back as ......Great News, the treatment is working, no new tumors and no growth or activity in original tumors. Merry Christmas to me.

I'm a 79 year old first diagnosed in 2007 (Gleason 6) and treated then with radioactive seeds. PSA got as low as .21 in 2011 but in 2015 began a rapid rise. Multiple prostate biopsies and scans could not find the cancer until nodules in the lungs were considered suspicious and I started taking Casodex

Can be zytiga, zalodex and casodex can be given together monthly?

On Nov. 25, 2018 I lost my soul mate of 45 years to recurrent prostate cancer. He was diagnosed 7 years ago as Gleason 8, underwent 42 radiation treatments and 2 Lupron shots, and in Feb., 2018 at age 83 his PSA started rising, to 5.0. When they did a CT scan to restage the prostate cancer, they found

Hi everybody, Looking for some advice if possible please. My Father restarted his third round of hormone blockade ON 22.11.18 (Firmagon and Zytiga) He used Casodex on his first round with Firmagon. Second round was Firmagon and Zytiga only. His starting PSA when diagnosed was 433 in February 2014.

Well, we were debating between xeloda and faslodex for a week. But, 3 opinions say faslodex. The 3rd dr said “it probably won’t work but there is a small chance it may”.

Hi everyone....this is my 2nd post. Diagnosed with pca in September of 2018. Gleason 8 psa was very high. My MO started me on Lupron and Casodex in Oct. 2018. Psa taken on 1/18/19 now (2.0). I am tolerating this combo very well. My ONC wants to switch to Zytiga. Not sure how I will tolerate this combo

Is anyone being treated with Ibrance and Faslodex despite having a low level of estrogen? The alternative is to assume the cancer is triple negative and treat with capecitabene.

Hi Everyone: Just a brief heads-up on my SO who is oligometastatic with two involved lymph nodes. When he was rediagnosed in July ‘17, his PSA was 74. After various permutations to find the most effective therapy, he was put on Casodex 150/day. Today he discovered that his PSA has plummeted to 0.3. We

I am almost 73 and am wondering how many of you taking faslodex are post menopausal? It seems like it is a stronger hormone blocker than letrozole. I am currently taking Ibrance/Letrozole. Blessings, Hannah.
