A small rise in PSA What do you think of my plan
I'm a 76 1/3 yo that has spent 2 1/4 yrs on Zytiga had IMRT, SBRT to the bone and on
Xgeva
. Psa was <.1 for 8 mos and has risen to .2 Alk Phos looks good. I'm expecting PSA will not go down and plan to try again to get Dexamethasone prescribed in lieu of pred.

CA 15-3
She is on Ibrance 125mg, Faslodex and
Xgeva
. She has extensive bone mets, but PET-CTs are showing important reduction on SUV levels (From 16 to 3.5, for example). My question here is about CA 15-3 levels. She started with 352 and gradually reduced to 86. Now she is 86/88 for 4 months in a row.

Slowly Rising PSA
And in November started
Xgeva
. His Psa has been trending upward past two times. And Alk Phosphate going down. And in light of this Covid 19 it’s making me anxious. Any questions you think I should send his MO? He’s at a teaching hospital.

Poems and Prayers and Promises. Radiation to two lymph nodes in abdomen and to a bone met on left Pelvic bone.... 18 session done out of 25.
A bit MORE fatigue and weakness than with just Lupron and
Xgeva
and Xtandi ~~BUT, luckily NO BLOOD in my urine yet or any major G.I. issues(but I really have to watch eating any fiber or fried things).... AND this Coronavirus is making every day going to the hospital another adventure.

Ibrance and the Flu
I needed to have blood work done to check levels for blood counts and to see if
xgeva
calcium levels were ok . I was too sick to go to the clinic and didn’t want to spread the flu. I also had only fluids in me so I opted to give myself another week off ibrance and start again this coming week .

Medical bill for hormone treatment
I am getting Degarelix and
Xgeva
injections. The doctor's office sent me a bill amounting $2600 which is the deductible from Anthem blue cross. I am covered at the same time by Medicare. It seems I have to pay only 20 per cent of the $2600. But they insists I am responsible for the amount.

Anyone taking Darolutamide develope asthenia, a known side effect? I've read similar SEs with Xtandi, so is this with all lutamide drugs?
MO then put him on Lynparza (he had somatic BRCA) , then a couple months later added Zytiga and
Xgeva
. This worked WONDERFULY for over 1-1/2 years! Life was almost completely 'normal'!!

The Waiting Game/Post 5 weeks of Radiation for Oligomatastic (3 spots) Prostate cancer after 4 years+ of Stage 4. During "Quarantine"
Today was bloodwork and Xtandi and
Xgeva
...first ones after the radiation. Two days from now (Thursday) I have my Zoom visit with the oncologist. The last couple of weeks of radiation brought quite a bit of stomach and intestinal discomfort....nausea, diarrhea, pain and fatigue.

Darolutamide vs Proxalutamide - for a Hail Mary??
This leaves him 'only' on 2mg dexamethasone, Lupron shots (every 3 months) and
Xgeva
shots (monthly), and now, no surprise, a rapidly rising PSA (was 36 yesterday, and was 11.5 4 weeks ago).
