went off Xgeva for a year, have to go back on it. Ideas or tips helpful
I’m also having to go back on the
Xgeva
. I’m really discouraged and feel out of options but obviously saving my life comes first.

Long Journey
I was placed on Lupron,
Xgeva
and Erleada (apalutamide). That worked for 5.5 years until we figured out Erleada was making me dizzy. Tried Zytiga, S/E were too much. My Dad passed 5/22. One month later had my first PSMA PET. Found out I had mets to my bones. I freaked out. Had Provenge.

Becoming mCRPC despite falling PSA
Since then, he still gets his 3month Lupron shot,
Xgeva
and daily Zytiga (2x500mg and 5mg Prednison). The PSA declined further in 2023 every time it got measured and is now around ~0.03. During the summer he had no pain and one could forget that he has this terminal illness.

Update on dads visit with his MO today
They gave him his lupron and
xgeva
shot and refilled his xtandi, follow up mid july in 6 months. He said that dad has some tangential speech going on (subject jumping) but overall for almost 91 he's doing very well.

is Xgeva given for bone density or also bone met treatment
I know
xgeva
is given to prevent bone loss when one is osteoporotic but does it also serve any purpose also as a medicine for bone mets ?

Xgeva
(started 6- month schedule recently). Failed Zytiga.

Still true that using same scan type is preferable to changing scan type?
He's been stable since chemo with his current Eligard &
Xgeva
treatment--see full Profile for his record of Lupron, radiation, Zytiga (failed), Docetaxel at year five, followed by lifelong Eligard and quarterly
Xgeva
.

Taxotere causing horrible neuropathy on just the 3rd day.
On top of that they opted to inject my
Xgeva
dosage on the same day, which has proven to be a bad choice. My teeth feel as if they're disconnected from my skull and floating, and i have pain radiating back in my jaw towards my ears.

Piqray Scans
She did say if the markers go up again she is going to want me to start the
xgeva
AGAON monthly ( we switched it to every three months) I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with their markers, trending up, but having amazing results in your scan.

xgeva or zoledronic acid for bones ?
One MO has prescribed
Xgeva
and another MO has prescribed zoledronic acid to strengthen dad’s bones as he has to start ADT from Tomorrow. What are most people taking and how do you react to it ? Do you take it at the same as taking the ADT injection ?

First blood tests since starting Abi.
Xgeva
is the next step. I get a Dex scan in Dec. I have a great MO and Urologist and I thank God for them and that these treatments are available. God Bless.

Update On Eclipse Trial-another failure. Has LU-177 worked for anyone?
Dorf, continued Orgovyx with 90-day shots of
Xgeva
. (My hemoglobin immediately dropped to 12.) At the thirteenth month on Orgovyx, PSA began a slow rise indicating castrate resistance. We briefly added 250mg Zytiga + 5mg prednisone before starting Eclipse trial (LU-177 I&T) in June 2023.

He is on 3 monthly zoladex monthly
xgeva
he takes the steroid they give him dexamethsone (I think it’s called) day before , day of and day after the chemo . They said it shouldn’t be the cause . They said they might put a stent in each kidney to leery the tubes open .?

radiation whack-a-mole?
In 2021 I had cyberknife radiation to new lesions in spinal vertebrae L3 and T9, which knocked the cancer back but also weakened the bone and led to compression fractures, to harden the bone I'm now also getting an
Xgeva
(bisphospehante) injection every 90 days, along with a ton of calcium every day.

Xgeva side effects?????
drug interaction between the the
Xgeva
and my cholesterol meds. I'm wondering if it is going to be worth continuing the
Xgeva
. Any thoughts or comments?

Xgeva and Pluvicto
I seem to recall that you shouldn't have an
Xgeva
shot just before starting Pluvicto. Thoughts? Thanks to all the great contributors on this site. I rely on you more than you know as I enter the last months of my existence.
