Fourth Jevtana/Carboplatin infusion delayed. PSA is Up 900 pts in three weeks.
He seems to imply that a fourth
Jevtana
/Carboplatin would be in order even with the PSA escalation. I offered up the possibility of switching to Doxitaxal/Carboplatin and he didn't think that would make that much of a difference.

PSMA scan changes treatment yet again
Treatment changed to
Jevtana
and Carboplatin. 3. After two chemo infusions PSMA scan showed lymph nodes resolved but significant spread and growth of Mets on spine. I’m probably now swapping to Xofigo - will know in a few days.

Next step- Zytiga vs Xtandi?
What is the difference with Zytiga and Xtandi, and possibly
Jevtana
? He is still castrate naive and getting Lupron injections every 3 months. Thank you for any responses.

Jevtana/Carboplatin
I’m currently receiving
Jevtana
/Carboplatin treatment under Dr Kwon at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I’m getting my second dose today in Maple Wood, MN. I live South of DC.

High PSMA Predictive of Good Response to Radioisotope Therapy in Prostate Cancer, MedPage Today - by Mike Bassett, Staff Writer, 10/17/22

Xgeva vs Zometa
He will be starting
Jevtana
unless the Lu-177 expanded access opens up soon. His MO also wants him to start Xgeva, but our insurance pushed back and wants him to use the less expensive Zometa. This surprised me, as we have never had any issues getting everything covered. Thoughts on this?

Rising PSA and want to be the best advocate!
He cannot have the prostate bed radiated again, so I'm wondering what the best options are for additional medications when that time presents itself...Zytiga, Xofigo, Provenge,
Jevtana
, etc.? I've always been his biggest cheerleader and he is the greatest warrior I've ever known in my life.

Will any kind of PSA test show levels higher than 1420
The most recent test is after my
Jevtana
chemo failed. Latest PET scan shows increases in mets and now observed mets in liver and pancreas. Also been through two rad treatments to Cervical and Thoracic spine, Xofigo late last year and SBRT to prostate a few months ago, during the Jevtans chemo.

1st round Jevtana/Carboplatin chemo treatment completed.
Updated blood work 3 weeks after initial treatment completed showed PSA drop of almost 80 percent, from 62 to 14! AST and ALT liver enzymes spiked up. MO felt that 2nd chemo treatment should be delayed 1 week to allow liver enzymes to decline by drinking a lot more water each day. Otherwise, there

Update on Lu177 mixed result
Then it looks like
Jevtana
+ Carboplatin. I'm really not looking forward to more numbness in my feet.

13 year Battle with Stage 4 PC
Next would be one infusion of
Jevtana
. In the meantime, I was furiously researching clinical trials and new therapies- we had several Zoom consultations regarding clinical trials but could not find a good fit. I was interested in Lutetium 177 but there were no spots in trials available.

Unfavorable update
As Jeff’s PSA trended up the entire time he was on carboplatin/
jevtana
chemo, Dr. Kwon doesn’t feel like Jeff ever responded to it. Jeff’s last PSA values went from 292 to 365. Several months back Jeff had labs for the guardiant 360 testing.

What kind timeline are we looking at?
Decision was made to switch therapy to
Jevtana
with prednisone. He received his first dose on 8/27/2021 and has also continued xgeva and lupron every 3 months. Interim History: Patient presents to clinic today for follow up. He is feeling okay, but "lousy" compared to last few visits.

My Jevtana/Carboplatin results to date. Plus participation in Bipolar Androgen Therapy testing
He said the
Jevtana
/Carbo combo is what he would have ordered. He indicated that my new oncologist told him when they spoke prior to our appointment that I had suggested the combo be tried.

Questions on Jevtana
So now his oncologist is moving him on to
Jevtana
. I have a couple of
Jevtana
related questions. His doctor put him on 20 mg every two weeks, which seems fine. But he is leaving him on a half dose of Xtandi. Has anyone else stayed on Xtandi when they started
Jevtana
?

Third Jevtana/Carboplatin treatment completed. Total of 10 chemo treatments are now completed overall. Hoping for better results.
PSA increase as seen above. My oncologist's response was "This may be the roller coaster that your PSA is following We will continue to monitor the levels and symptoms" Seems to me the best part of the old wooden coaster was cresting the top of the climb and plunging to the bottom. Hopefully, my next

Jevtana as last treatment
His MO suggested the only treatment left to try would be low dose
Jevtana
. If his blood counts could bounce back, he would be eligible for a trial at Duke. What is your experience with side effects from
Jevtana
? Last year he had 4 cycles of Taxotere and he did not do well with it.

jevtana added to lupron and xtandi, too much?
My MO wants me to add
jevtana
to the meds I already take --- seems to be to much for my body to handle. Any thoughts on this? Thanks...
