Starting Apalutamide
Just got back from the doc and my PSA has inched up to 0.93 from 0.64 3 months ago while on Casodex and Lupron. We have decided to replace the Casodex with Apalutamide. I know this drug is pretty new, but if any of you have thoughts, suggestions, experiences to share I'm all ears. I'm expecting just

Is my PSA score of 2.33 good, OK or bad ?
My previous PSA score 7 months back was 16.51. I was given Casodex 50 mg for 14 days, then Eligard 22.5 mg for 3 months and a further Eligard 45 mg for 6 months. In the interim, I had 38 sessions of radiation (IMRT). I have oligometastatic prostate cancer with the L4 vertebrae being affected. I have

Hormone refractory/ castrate resistant
If you respond to Zytiga/ Enzalutamide are you still considered hormone sensitive? I assumed my husband was hormone refractory once his PSA started rising on Lupron/ Casodex combo. It’s still to be determined if he will respond to the Enzalutamide.

Suggestions to prevent Chemotherapy side effects
Hello, I'm so grateful to all who have reached out to help answer my naive questions regarding this new journey we are taking with my dad. We were given a plan of treatment today and gave the green light to proceed. As many have assured me.......it will be difficult but do-able. Casodex began today..

I’ve been posting here for about six months, but I am always uncomfortable about posting personal updates. I wonder whether I am bragging, whining, boring people or some combination of the above. Regardless, I enjoy reading the experiences of others, both positive and negative. I personally think

Beware of nose sprays
I went off of it and went back to
Nasonex
. What an improvement! My mouth is getting back to normal now. So thankful! But my ENT had my sinuses scanned. He found a cyst or polyp and now I have to have surgery. I can't win! Solve one problem and get another one. Grrrr! A little photo to relax you.

During my 28 years in the military I commanded several different units and the best way I was able to make the unit achieve outstanding levels of performance was to find a few of the most talented and motivated soldiers or cadets and assign them a task to put into place a plan that would use my general
