PSA 1124, Age 59, Stage 4, Dx 3-22-16 So after watching my PSA slowly climb from the nadir at 1.45 on 12/19/16, 2017 was a year of steady increases and a bunch of therapies tried, and failed. After my first chemo session of 6 cycles from 7/18/16 thru 10/31/16, along with 3 month Lupron shots and Zometa

EliasJ is my husband and in December of 2015 he was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer - pT3BM1NO/Gleason 4+3=7. His PSA level then was 1,142 - a shocking number. He was totally symptom-less until a couple of weeks prior to official diagnosis. Because he was declared as being beyond surgery and

I did 30 months ADT and stopped, with MedOnc approval, last shot on 03/31/17. Didn't want PCa to go castrate resistant. So, monthly PSA went 0.1- 0.1- 0.2 - 0.5 - 1.3 and 3.3. Did a month of Casodex monotherapy and got down to 3.0 and T at 291 - up 40 from last month. Same lab. maybe an outlier. Was

Hi all, quick recap. Dx with PCa in February, 2017. PSA was 8.9 and G, 8 at time of dx. left seminal vesicle was grossly impacted. Right femur and right pelvis impacted as well as a few suspicious lymph nodes in pelvic region. No evidence of distant mets. Went on Lupron and Casodex end of March 2017

only ordered 4 shots of xgeva {1} every 4 weeks.Received last one. He said we could stop the casodex or to keep taking it. we see the dr. at Hillman middle of May. His PSA dropped from 11 on Nov 23 to 0.02 . They are planning on putting him on zytiga so it is up to us weather to take {casodex} or

Hello I'm a newbie.. Here's my story. My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1994, very little treatment available at that time. We started out with 38 treatments of radiation, opted out of removing the prostate since Dr. said, "cancer was detected in lymph nodes". Started taking Lupron months

my name is Ross I am 59 yrs old and on Jan. 23, 2018 was diagnosed with stage IV prostrate cancer I was in the ER on am unrelated event and after 2 CT scans the reason for being in the ER got really serious, after a little looking around on the internet it was obvious that I was a Stage IV with no symptoms

Lets say you have a rising PSA on Xtandi..with crossover resistance Zytiga will usually work for a few months. Hello Apalutamide..the problem here is Apalutamide is very similar to Xtandi and both drugs have a chemical structure based on Casodex...so if Apalutamide works you get maybe 3 months. Darolutamide

I have been on Xtandi for two months and PSA is now down to .59 and I feel much better than when I was on Lupron and Casodex. I have read the literature and it seems that Xtandi may work from three to 22 months. They don't ever seem to tell you what the standard deviation is. Has anyone on this forum

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkqizmvqJPo I'm wondering why my oncologist at U of M, (Sylvester) and my second opinion at the Moffitt Cancer Center....both said after Lupron for 10 months and 6 session of Taxoter..I'm doing so great...all of my bone mets disappeared and the few lymph nodes have either

I have had 3 rounds of ibrance and on the Faslodex shots. My Dr. wants to keep me on those but wants me to do another stereotactic radiation again this will be my 2nd time for that but 4th time for radiation. Any thoughts?

My husband has Stage IV, advanced prostate cancer with mets to the bone and intraabdominal lymph nodes. He had a PSA in September 2017 of 540 and his doctor didn't do a biopsy until late December 2017. By then, his PSA was 1250. Gleason score 10 of all 12 biopsies. He's had Casodex, Lupron shot and

Have been on Ibrance and faslodex injection for about 22 months. I have a history of fibroids and just saw my gyn and had a normal pap test.

Fifth chemo finished yesterday. Had neulasta with first three rounds but wbc rose to 45 and only dropped to 18 on day of fourth round.WBC was 25.86 yesterday when he received his fifth round. He is also on casodex and prednisone. Dr ordered blood test yesterday. His WBC was 18 on Dec.5th when we started

Went for a second opinion last Friday, and even though I appear to have responded well to my first 3 months of treatment, it was an eye opener. Because I believe the quality of care we receive is to a significant degree related to our willingness to ask informed questions, to engage our oncologists

I finally got into a trial. Have any of you seen this one or better yet are in the study? A Phase 1 Study To Evaluate Escalating Doses Of A Vaccine-Based Immunotherapy Regimen For Prostate Cancer (PrCa VBIR) NCT02616185 I've been stage four for 6 years psa around 100...no chemo, but Provenge, Casodex

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

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?

Oct 2009 psa was 39. Put on Casodex for 3 yrs. 2010 gold seeds implanted and radiology every day for 7 weeks. after this psa was less than 0.1 but as slowly risen to 0.77 in oct 2017. Due next obs in July. Sex is out, but otherwise things seem a feel "normal".

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
