Petscan shows improvement but Ca 27-29 keeps on rising
Her oncologist started her ibrance, Fasodex and
Xgeva
which seemed to be the treatment recommended by several second opinion oncologists. Her last petscan showed no new cancer, some of the lesions have disappeared, some have shrunk and a couple of them did not change.

Thanking God for NED - With prayer took Ibrance, Letrozole, Lupron, & Xgeva (and some supplements like Tumeric)
Hi everyone, I wanted to start my own post because I didn't want to take up more of Susan's NED post with my stories and replies to others. I am a VERY private person. But since being diagnosed with cancer, I only share this story to help others....or even one person. Here is my story....Part I.....

Continuing with hormone shots (firmagon) &
Xgeva
. On a happy note, my youngest daughter & I on the Feather River last week. She caught the biggest catch of the season (according to our guide) and made the cover of his website! 32 lb king salmon.

Is an RP viable in later term PCa?
I've been on Lupron the whole time, Zytiga added last year after a spike in PSA, and
Xgeva
started 7 months ago. Last year I had three mets, today I have none. My question: Is it too late for surgery? Can it even be an option? Would it improve my Quality of Life?

Ibrance
I've been on Ibrance and Letrozole with monthly
Xgeva
injections since April. Had bone scan and CT in March and recently in August. Showed some mild progression in SI area and a possible new spot in upper lumbar spine. I have numerous mets throughout my torso which appear to be stable.

A clinical trial for me.
My oncologist has suspended
xgeva
because I may have ostenecorsis. He will continue to hold
xgeva
until the oral surgeon verifies what it is. Here is a list of my meds so far. Taxotere, Zoladex, Lupron, Zytiga, Prednisone, Xofigo and now back to taxotere.

Vanishing Mets?
I'm almost eight years on Lupron, Zytiga added 12/16, then
Xgeva
started 3/17, BIRM started 5/17. Hey, had to mention it. There is a trade off though, my PSA continues to creep up at .2 increments every four weeks. I get labs done tomorrow, but last month it was 2.9, up from a nadir of 1.

Weakness in my legs
Also taking Lupron every 3 month and
xgeva
once a month. Have had a ton of cat scans and nothing is obvious other than bone mets. Now doc has suggested Cat Scan Myelogram to check my spinal cord even though I have no pain in my lower back. No way I will have a Myelogram.

New to group
I have done radiation and now taking Ibrance, Letrozole and a monthly
Xgeva
injection. Side effects of all are tolerable but still have moderate lower back discomfort. My hope is these drugs will continue to work for a long time and I can enjoy time with my family and friends.

Elgie's bone scan and CT scan
We were able to keep the
Xgeva
but went from every 3 months to every 6 months. I'm still working on finding a replacement for Dr. Myers. Left messages for appoitments.....still waiting for return calls. I hope everyone's doing okay with little to no pain. Always good wishes ;)) Jackie

I also receive firmagon shots once month, along with
Xgeva
once a month. Experiencing bone pain, and a bit of neuropathy pain in feet. Had a radical prostatectomy two years ago, then cancer spread to seminal vesicles (T3B). Had radiation two different times, for a month each go.

Xgeva Vs Zometa
Hi Folks ;) We received a notice from our local oncologist that Elgie would now be receiving Zometa infusions instead of
Xgeva
due to the cost. They say it is the same quality at a lower cost. Does anyone have experience or does anyone know if this is true? Thanks so much :) Jackie

Question about IMRT on multiple targets simultaneously
I take
Xgeva
for the bone metastases and for the last 18 months they do not show up on bone scans nor do I have any bone pain. About a month ago, I had a PET scan specific for prostate cancer performed.

First post: Father with metastatic PCa, looking for natural treatment experiences after stoping oral chemo/radiation.
In February this year, his PSA had jumped from 3 (when he was residing in the hospital on Xtandi,
Xgeva
and Lupron injections) to 8. They stopped the Xtandi and prescribed him Zytiga (+ Prednisone) in it's place since the PSA kept rising.

Dad was told to stop Xtandi
I thought my dad would be taking the meds indefinately along with lupron and
xgeva
shots. I couldnt ask why we should stop the pills all she said were numbers were low. And come in and talk to the doctor in 2 weeks. Anyone know why he would stop the pills I thought they want the PSA at 0?

Checking in.
I have started to have a reaction to my
xgeva
injection and have decided with my oncologist to take it every other month instead of once a month. The letrozole is causing severe achy joints. That being said it's still been a rather great year thus far. Stage IV with mets over and out.

Thank you all.
I have been on the same therapy since my stage IV diagnosis (Faslodex,
Xgeva
and Arimidex). Currently, there is no progression of disease. I feel very fortunate to respond this well to this therapy. I find this disease to be very disheartening at times, and hope is my best friend.
