Coming off Naproxen safely?
Hi After 3 doses of
Radium
223
, my pain and general core strength seems to be improving after a rocky start. I'm also taking low dose Dexamethasone. I'd like to come off Naproxen gently and just take Paracetamol. I'm taking 2 x500 mg a day after meals.

Broken shattered femur
He has had Chemo and is now on
Radium
223
. Had his 3rd shot and scheduled for his 4th next week. Not sure what is going to happen with his cancer treatment now that his recovery time for healing after femur surgery is anywhere from 2 -6 months.

Stopping Firmagon if castration resistant
The cocktail of painkillers plus
Radium
223
is making me very tired at the moment. This may seem like a daft question but what is the position with continuing or stopping Firmagon when you're castration resistant?

Updated treatment plan for progressing MCRPC
Will start Xofigo
Radium

that was approved last week. I am still taking abiraterone and dexamethasone and it is not working, PSA has been climbing. My Question is, should I switch the abiraterone for enzalutamide.

Radium 223 -Is this tumour flare?
I started
Radium
223
therapy on Tuesday and since then I suffered from general stiffness and pain from the back of the pelvis down to the lower leg. I was wondering if anyone else had suffered these symptoms and if it was tumour flare? Thanks

Radium 223 and (AdcalD3) calcium supplements
Hi I was hoping for some clarity here as I've been getting different advice in the UK. I think the advice is to keep off the calcium supplements 7 days before a Ra 223 injection and then return to the tablets a few days after. Similarly my Zometa (Zoledronic Acid )injection should be timed so it

Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could

Timing of XGeva & Radium 223.
My husband is due to start
Radium
223
treatments at Stanford. His oncologist wants him to also start XGeva. The XGeva injections were postponed until after he had dental crown work done. He had an appointment for that on 2/6 which has been delayed because he tested + for Covid.

Further advice please
Options on the table for discussion this week include Carboplatin,
Radium
223
and Pluvicto (BTW, Pluvicto is "currently" not available in Ottawa Canada and is also not currently funded resulting in a patient price per dose of 27 thousand $).

Advice Please
Future options could include,
Radium
223
, Pluvicto, other. Also, Dr has put Carbolatin on the table as a “stand alone” therapy i.e., not combined with Cabazitaxel. My question: Does anyone have experience/advice with respect to using Carbolatin alone? Thank you.

Cabazitaxel for dad
My dad’s had 4 sessions of
Radium
223
but is feeling generally tired, low energy and is losing weight and new small spots have appeared on a scan. Doc has now suggested no more Radium and trying Cabazitaxel now. He had enzalutamide but this stopped working too.
