Radium 223 offered
What can we expect, as I have read that
Radium
223
, does not take PSA down.If this treatment 'kills the Cancer cells' then I don't understand why PSA dosn't fall ? Could be offered more chemo, after
Radium
. So is
Radium
223
worth having ?

ALP AND RADIUM 223
We thought the PSA count wasn’t of much relevance when someone is on
radium
223
as the Pca on the bones releases PSA when it’s being attacked by the radium - is this incorrect and should we be worried? Thanks All

Radium

Chemo Update March 27, 2024
I have been CRPC since 2022 and have tried abiraterone and
Radium
223
(Xofigo). I just completed 7 rounds of docetaxel again and PSA went from 105 to 3.1 after 4 rounds then started doubling. Now I will be switching to cabazitaxel for another 6 to 10 rounds. Has anyone switched and had any luck?

Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels
Hi All, my husband had to abandon
radium
223
when it was discovered that he had several lung nodules (around 8mm).

At the crossroads (again)
So, my SOC choices are cabazataxel or
radium
223
. Other options are trial, which are a crapshoot or go overseas for Actinium. BTW, diagnosed less than 2 years ago with denovo high volume metastatic, Gleason 4 & 5, PSA 28.2. Any thoughts?

My husband has passed.
I believe that
Radium
223
precipitated his death. I have written before here on his experiences. It took everything from him and left him bed bound and unable to do anything. The same happened to a friend he made while doing the same treatment. We were together for 47 years.

Radium-223 and [177Lu]Lu-PSMA
Has anyone here from Canada had experience with either of the two PSMA treatments. I was all excited about this until I looked into it a bit more and the results seem to be very mixed not to mention the cost of upwards of $27K per treatment (5 or 6 treatments seems to be typical). I have completed 8

4th line palliative systemic options?
He was on Xtandi for 15 months, then Chemo and last treatment was
Radium
223
. He handled side effects well. Any suggestions on what should be next with the 3 options offered? We are in Kawartha Lakes, north of Toronto, Ontario

Steroids and Radium 223
Hi Hopefully my husband will start
Radium
223
in 4-6 weeks. He recently stopped abiraterone after 5 months as his PSA was doubling every month. While he was on abiraterone he was taking 2mgs of dexamethasone, although 1mg for the last month.

Dad with Stage 4 PCa - Need some words of wisdom...again please!
If he does qualify for
Radium
223
, is this a good treatment? I'm not naive as to the severity of his disease, but I always try and look for the light at the end of the tunnel....but if
Radium
223
does not help, are there many other options?

My 80 year-old dad with MPCa, broke his leg and now seems to be giving up. Advice on best anti-anxiety meds desperately needed.
He was doing well until March, still actively farming though fatigued, and was due to start
Radium
223
in April. Sadly, he broke his leg on March 12 in a fall, was put in a full-leg cast, and told to not put weight on his leg so he became bedbound.

Moving on to hospice care
Radium
223
is out of the picture for him as he is just not well and it would not aid his survival at this point. They suggested some radiation for the epidural lesion as the bone is encroaching on the spinal cord. Unfortunately he is not well enough to attend that.

Following SOC here in BC Canada
Had
Radium
223
and it was okay but did nothing to the PSA. Cancer kept progressing and had to get targeted radiation to painful spots on ribs. Started chemotherapy again and had 7 cycles of Docetaxel then switched over to cabazitaxel for 2 cycles so far.
