I will still take my victorys. I was represcribed xtandi and zytiga

An Enigma
I have written a number of posts earlier detailing my 22 year journey since RP in 1999. The issue that I face is a high PSA(146) after Lupron, Casodex, Zytiga and Chemo ( Taxotere). I still receive an injection of Trelstar every 3 months and am currently taking the chemo drug Lynparza. Thankfully I have

Hospice again
Well it has been a few days since my last post about my particular hospice journey. I will try to update every Friday if possible. I have to say that the last five days have been rather difficult. My pain has increased significantly. I'm currently on a 75 mcg/h fentanyl patch, 15mg methadone three

PSA rising and does not want to go on lupron
I've read some of the answers to your situation and I think that by by casadex would be your best option and depending on how fast his PSA is rising if he doesn't want to go on lupron you have firmagon which is a monthly thing so once you get it you if it doesn't agree with you it'll be out of your system

Good Report
Hello Brothers, just got my six month scans reports back. There was no progression to any vital organs ,lymph nodes,or my multiple bone mets. It's been a four year journey so far. As you all know waiting on scans can be nerve racking to say the least. My only treatments so far have been Zytiga, Eligard

A long wait, but gremlins did NOT win the day!!!
Despite several attempts, it has taken me almost three and a half years to get the opportunity to run it again; between stress
fractures
, covid, not being in the right place on a Saturday morning ... well let's say a lot of things have gotten in the way.

Adrenal Gland mets common?
No evidence of pathological
fractures
. Just celebrated 5 years since being diagnosed at 55 with BRCA2 ! Not going to do chemo because of thalassemia. Any other suggestions? No pain, mostly Restless Leg Syndrome keeping up at night!

Mix Up?
In July I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, GP said my dexa scan results show left hip T-score is -3•5 and lumber spine -3•1 and 36% chance of fracture. Fast forward to today I finally remembered to ask for a copy of that Dexa Scan and it read, left femoral neck -2•9, lumber spine -3•1 and left hip

Immediate vs Deferred Treatment of BCR after primary and adjuvant therapies. ADT, now or later?

Ok, so I have been a little foolish!
Having gotten no further than week 8 on C25k a couple of times, I started back again and now at the end of week 3 and wanted to run a bit further. So ended up doing 10k, felt really good but now have the same twinge in my shin I had when I first started. A little history, first time around I stopped

XTANDI dosage questions - do we need a different dosage to attain steady state and to maintain steady state??
Has anyone seen – or done some calculations on Xtandi dosage? From what I can see they arrived at 160 as the standard dosage after trials showed increasing side effects at higher doses. But I cant find any reliable info on effectiveness at lower doses- Heres my thinking: A single dose of 160mg has a

Bone Scan question
Hello fellow warriors, my latest CT and bone scan is showing no new lesions, hoping for Zytiga to lower PSA further, asked oncologist if bone scan would show decrease of mets in the future and he responded that the tracer used will still be taken up by the repaired areas as well so that we would not

Anyone added Xtandi while on Taxotere?
I am wondering if anyone has added Xtandi while undergoing chemo (taxotere)? I am doing a re-challenge (3 rounds done) with PSA holding - not going up or down. I understand Xtandi after chemo is a good option - but what about "during" to hit things hard. Thanks.

Baclofen
My doctor has just prescribed it for the muscle pain I am getting around my waist due to compression caused by the 6 vertebral
fractures
I had earlier this year and two and a half inches height loss. I have done a little research on Baclofen and saw that it can cause bone loss!
