Starting Xofigo RA 223

Yesterday, we met with the Radiation Oncologist at Mayo Phoenix and he recommended 6 cycles of Xofigo. My question is - have any of you tried Xofigo after Docetaxel and did you have any luck with it. I am feeling the best I have felt in a year after the chemo.

My life has gotten much more complicated since Abiraterone suddenly quit working about 6 months ago

I just had the 4th of 6 Xofigo (Radium-223) injections last Wednesday. I feel like the pain from bone metastases is improving. I have also undergone 15 External Beam Radiation Therapy EBRT treatments during the same period.

Low hemoglobin & Platelets - Xofigo

He is on a phase 3 trial (Peace 3) with Xofigo /xtandi & zometa. They are bringing him in to give him possibleh 2 units of blood this time to try and boost him. Has anyone experience with levels reducing to this rate with Xofigo?

Advice - Thoughts - Bone Marrow Suppression - Blood Counts

I think between the Xofigo and the cancer it’s wiped out my bone marrow. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also my AwBC are low I’ve been taking filgastrim shots. Also Xgeva and gosserlin shots We’re still in the fight but things are looking tough.

Third Jevtana/Carboplatin treatment completed. Total of 10 chemo treatments are now completed overall. Hoping for better results.

My oncologist indicates Other options including Provenge, xofigo , mitoxantrone, clinical trials. I'm adding the possibility of Lu-177 to the mix. We're all in this together! Keep Going!

Can I get neulasta with xofigo?

Had my first xofigo injection 3 weeks ago. WBC today is 2.28. Can I get neulasta to help bump this up?

Next Move

Taxanes,Provenge,Xofigo or something else? My first thought is to switch to dexamethasone from prednisone and see if I can extend the Zytiga's effectiveness for a little while longer. Next thought was Xofigo due to having just bone mets at this time.

PSA spike while on Xofigo

I completed Xofigo on Oct 29th. My PSA was .45 when we started. It slowly crept up the first 4 doses. Then it was 2.7 in SEP, 4.08 in OCT and now 7.76 in NOV. Do you think this is normal or that the Xtandi is failing. We are doing a PET in 2 weeks to see how the Xofigo worked on the bone METs.

Xofigo - Finished

Good morning everyone. After a 1 month delay between 4&5 we finished the last dose on Friday. I was really surprised they gave it to me. My WBC was 1.8, ANC .6 and platelets at 42. The RO said he spoke with my MO and they both agreed since it was the last one to finish. I’ll find out Wednesday what my

PET Scan results.

I haven’t seen the full report but it looks like overall Xofigo has worked well. I’ll find out all the details on the 22nd. Thankful to see the words significant improvement. That surely beats the last one in February. Hopefully we have this beast on the run at least for a little while.

Castration Resistant Stage 4 Advanced Prostate Cancer Therapy Update - Starting EBRT and Xofigo Today

I will be going to the Levine Cancer Institute today to begin 10 cycles of External Beam Radio Therapy (EBRT) and 6-months of intravenous Xofigo. We don't have the results back yet from a bone density test that I took yesterday to determine the dosage of Fosamax needed to prevent bone fractures.

Xofigo with xtandi

Was it ever determined if xtandi was safe to give concurrently with Xofigo?
