Zometa and Dexa scan
Onco has suggested Zometa as husband has been on ADT for several years. I am reluctant to throw another med at him if it's not definitely necessary. So would you recommend Dexa scan to check for problems before simply accepting Zometa? [Further info: He has never had bone mets show on regular nuclear

Building Bones and Shrinking Moobs
Started transdermal estradiol (0.0375 mg) in November 2023 to counter negative effects of ADT (relugolix and abiraterone) on bone density.

Taxol-Anyone had experience with Taxol
I have ER+ Her2- metastatic breast cancer. Tumors at in my spine, pelvis and a couple ribs. Up to this point in time I have been on Hormonal therapy regimens and the latest one (Orserdu) has failed. My Dr. is now suggesting Taxol (Paclitaxel) IV Chemo treatment. Anyone have experience with this drug?

A 4 Year Journey

Chemo Docetaxel
My husband is in year 7 since RP and ADT Drugs, NUBEQA and Zytiga, all of which eventually failed. He is now having 6 rounds of Docetaxel … My question is: has anyone gone into a period of remission after being on Docetaxel? As of last Auxium scan mid June no visible spread into a major organ or bones

ADT prior to RT
It has been recommended that I use ADT prior to RT. I believe they are intending to use Lupron but I hear there are alternatives with fewer side effects. Any suggestions and studies to support?
