Ibrance, watery eyes and how other Stage 4 Breast Cancer, HR+ PR+ HER2- are doing 5 1/2 years after diagnosis.
I had radiation treatments and I am now on Ibrance,
Faslodex
and XGeva. Ibrance was not available when I was diagnosed. I have been on Ibrance for 4 or 5 months. I do get really tired, especially lately. My eyes are watering. I have read others on Ibrance have watery eyes too.

Severe left shoulder pain with popping!
I just got my
Faslodex
and Dr. out of country. I go back in less then 2 weeks. This pain didn’t start until injections. I also have bursitis so I’m wondering maybe a combo of cancer, bursitis, and
Faslodex
? Can I wait for follow up since I didn’t fall or lift to heavy.

Switch from Firmagon to Zoladex
Met with my Urologist yesterday. I've been on Firmagon for 3 months, PSA dropped from 38 to 0.44 ug/L and Testosterone down to 0.6 nmol/L. He would like my testosterone to be lower so is switching me to Casodex and Zoladex. For background, I'm Gleason 4+4 and cancer in lymph nodes but not distant

What To Do
For those that don't know me I was diagnosed back in early July with Advanced Prostate Cancer. A biopsy found it in all core samples taken. (12) Gleason 7, stage IV, grade group 3. It wasn't found in my bones but was found in my right iliac chain lymph node & aortocaval lymph node. This was really my

Stopping Zytiga after 6months
After our last checkup with our med onco last Friday, he mentioned that my husband can stop taking Zytiga if his PSA drops to below zero after 6months treatment and just continue with Eligard and Xgeva. Brief info, my husband was diagnosed with advanced pca late June 2018 (PSA 33) with mets to bones

Good pet scan results-
I got my
faslodex
injection today as usual Nd always notice that my urine tends to have a pungent odor for a day or two after. I always want to ask my doctor about it but never remember to do so. Anyone experience this? Just curious.

First official meeting with oncologist!
Hello All, Today I take my father to his oncologist to discuss treatment options. He is already on Casodex and Lupron from his urologist and the oncologist mentioned chemo treatments but have yet to solidify official treatment plan. I have created a few beginner questions to go over with oncologist

Shorter time castrate resistant = Zytiga and Xtandi will last even less than first line ADT?
Not always the case, my father became castrate resistant in 2 months with Casodex but is currently on almost his 5th month on Zytiga and doing well so far, so if you fail first line ADT it doesn't necessarily mean that 2nd line ADT will last less. Every patient is unique and responds differently to different

Preferred Time of Day to Take Ibrance?
After completing a course of Taxol she has been prescribed a combination of
Faslodex
and IBrance. She has completed the first 4 cycles of
Faslodex
and will, within the next month or so, start the IBrance. My questions: 1. Is there a preferred time of day to take IBrance? 2.

Hi We have just returned home from a most disappointing appointment with the oncologist. A quick reminder my husband was diagnosed in 2009 with locally advanced prostate cancer. Surgery to remove prostate was aborted due to lymph node involvement, started zoladex injections and had 39 fractions of radiotherapy

Knee, foot and joint pain on Ibrance, Faslodex and Xgeva
Dr. says probably from
Faslodex
and that it's building in my system. No estrogen=joint pain. First, anyone else having this issue? If so, what did you do about it? Should I try to cut back on
faslodex
? Anyone had experience with this?

PSA from 86.6-1
On 7/18 PSA at 86.6. 8/7/18 Lupron + Casodex On 9/14 PSA at 1. Question- is that kind of a PSA drop normal, average? Is Lupron + Casodex considered a cancer killer or just slows it down?

Risk of infection
I'm taking Ibrance 125,
faslodex
and Denosomab and I'm a bit confused about its effect on my immune system, so I'm hoping that you may be able to help. My job involves working in a crowded office and attending meetings where there are members of the public.
