Genetic testing
Just curious how many people have had g-nome testing done. I feel I should have done this from the beginning to figure out what will work best. At this point it seems the chemo, casodex, Zytiga that have done nothing was a big waist of time and money. I am now on a targeted theropy called lymparza that

Zytiga, Prednisone, Lupron
My Oncologist is now prescribing daily 1000 mg of Zytiga, 5 mg Prednisone along with my every 3rd month of Lupron. Was on daily 50 mg Casodex after 6 infusions of chemo. Had my 3rd Lupron injection today. My past posts pretty much tell my beginnings. Can anyone tell me what I am in for?

My story
I still do the zomeda but I will do the
faslodex
1more time next Tues. So far I have been ok but all of a sudden I started having extreme pain in my buttocks and down both legs. My nurse told me it could be myalgia. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Update on husband's condition - hopeful?
First off, a huge 'Thank-you' to all who replied to my posting a few days ago. We met with a nurse practitioner and the regular MO on Monday to discuss 'what's next' for Mike. It's clear that something else needs to be done -- the Lupron and Casodex are no longer keeping his PSA at a reasonable level

I am new to faslodex
Now my oncologist has decided that
Faslodex
may be the answer for a while. She advised against going to IV chemo (I am terrified of that!) at present as she feels my quality of life would be compromised earlier than necessary. Anyone out there on
Faslodex
? How do you do on it?

3 years of bliss
I was put on Ibrance 125mg. with the monthly Xgeva &
Faslodex
injections. I just had my first scan after being on the Ibrance for 4 cycles & it showed the cancer is "controlled" not in remission, but controlled. Not sure what that means but will get more info when I see my Onc. next week.

17 years of various treatments
Hi Y'all, Regarding my husband, I have dragged him through 17 years of various treatments--all failed. However, he is still alive and kicking after all these years and we are grateful for that. He has lived a mostly normal, unaffected life through it all. He had a laparoscopic prostatectomy done

Castrate Resistant
My husband currently is taking casodex and Lupron. He did 6 cycles of Docetaxel last Summer. If his PSA starts to rise on Casodex and Lupron does that mean his PC would be considered castrate resistant? Thanks for the info.

Hi all. My father (76 years old) is on casodex monotherapy. This is quite common theraphy in our parts of the world - they use it untill it works, than they add Lupron. He Gleason is 7 (4+3, tumor present in 10% of tissue evaluated (it was discovered during TURP procedure, stage 2b) and has been on Casodex

CRPC & Avodart [Dutasteride].
New study below. Some may recall that I'm in favor of shutting off all escape paths while on ADT - e.g. via Zytiga, Casodex, Simvastatin & Avodart. If you are closing the door, close the windows too. The conventional view is that since 5alpha-reductase converts testosterone [T] to dihtdrotestosterone

Zytiga+Zoladex instead of Taxotere
Good day everyone, Just wish to share with you this update.. I sought a second opinion on whether Taxotere was the most appropriate course of action after casodex and Zoladex which reduced PSA only to a certain level and stopped to drive it down. The second oncologist advised me to do Zytiga and

Low Testosterone Level
I'm stage 4 close to 5 years since devinci removal, lupron, casodex and xgeva, PSA under 0.02. Question - my testosterone level is "3" which sounds good but I can't get a response I understand on its relationship with PSA, etc. Can someone kindly explain the significance and hopefully good news on
