Change in plans - looks like neuroendocrine
From my last post, I had an allergic reaction 15 minutes into my first dose of Docetaxel - part of a clinical trial combining Docetaxel and Xofigo (Radium-223).

Constipation
Hi everyone , could anyone tell me the amount of sodium picosulfate they give their child please , more so on a maintenance dose. I’m really struggling to find a happy medium for a maintenance dose for my son. We are constantly having to disimpact because he get blocked up whenever I reduce the laxatives

Options after Zytiga fails
I've been on the Magnitude clinical trial for 8 months and now Zytiga has failed. I have extensive bone mets (greater than 30). The most recent bone scan shows 5 new mets so I'll be off the trial. I'm in Canada and think my next options are either Radium 223 or chemo. I've had genetic testing and

What aspects of CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel) in my blood should I be most concerned ?
Hello fellow warriors! I had a blood draw today and have some comments and questions. Comment - I am the one to suggest every blood draw to monitor PSA, Testosterone , and other “numbers” that are reported from CMP results.
