Post Docetaxel treatment plan
Next step we are awaiting support approvals for Xtandi (so expensive $$$$),
Xgeva
injection on the 29th, and Provenge hopefully in January. What are some experiences with those treatments Xtandi and
Xgeva
? my Dad is overwhelmed with all the literature of side effects.

Starting xgeva next month
Has anybody had a reaction to
xgeva
, starting next month, taking prednisone with the abritone . Now castration resistant moving on to the more expensive and stronger drugs. I also read in trials that
xgeva
kills cancer cells by red flagging the cells so the immune system can kill them.

Tumor markers up
I went for blood and
Xgeva
shot. My tumor markers were high. I called onc and got a response that I did not expect. When undergoing new treatment Affinitor and exestamane the proteins that are being attacked can break up and go into blood. So it’s wait and see til next blood work and scan.

Neuropathy from IBrance or Chemo?
After SBRT I started IBrance, Faslodex &
Xgeva
. I have been responding well to treatment but I am suffering from IBrance related neuropathy. I was speaking to my Case Manager with the cancer center & she recommended L-Glutamine.

Osteonecrosis of the top jaw with Xgeva?
All the research articles I've found don't delineate between top and bottom jaw, so I was wondering if anybody here has more detailed info. Thanks!

How much memory loss is due to Lupron?
He was diagnosed in March, 2019 and has been taking on Lupron, every six months, Zytiga, prednisone, and
Xgeva
every four weeks. First his memory loss was naming things, short term memory, now it has increased to long term memory too.

Update Bone Scan
I continue with Ibrance- Letrozole- Zoladex-
xgeva
. The doctor told me that the knee is not clear because "the pet scan looks from the head as well as above the knee we do not know if the injury was there", She does not see anything that may seem new, we continue on.

Pray for good results fromPet Scan
I thought I’d fractured my ribs, since I have fractured several bones since I’m still waiting to get back on
Xgeva
(which helps my bones) due to my bone infection in my mouth, which aches as I type this. I go for a pet scan today to see what’s going on.

Once I start Xgeva will I ever be able stop taking it?
I've tried to find information on the web, but came up blank. What have you all seen? My MO suggested taking it only every 3 months, so I've already crossed that bridge. Realistically, will I be on it till the end?

I Can Do an Oil Change
In other news, I completed chemo back in June, finished radiation in July, and continue on Atezolizumab, Lupron, Abiraterone, and
Xgeva
. I'm finally beginning to see glimpses of improving health as I recover from the chemo and radiation.

Can A Person Take a Break From Lupron?
My dad is on Lupron and
Xgeva
. He hates the shots and I don't why he has to receive them along with Xtandi and numerous horrible side effects. Why do doctors make you get the shots every month?
