Verify then trust, not vice versa; energy issues
Well, today the doc gave us an overview of
Xofigo
, Provenge, and chemo, and told my dad to start taking Xtandi again, at a lower dose (he’d been taking 4 tablets daily, with some balance issues). Hmmm maybe the nurse mgr was just having a super bad day?

Metastatic prostate cancer
They have included syberknife, xytegia, xtandi,taxotere,
xofigo
,and now cabazitnxel(jevtana) with carboplatin. I don’t know if there is anything else that can be done. Is there any one else out there in the same situation and if so what are you doing?

Help me ask
They apparently agree on the remaining options for my Dad: chemo, Provenge,
Xofigo
. It was a bummer to hear the onco tell me that Dr. A said we didn’t need to come see him now...we like Dr. A so much and I obviously had been feeling very hopeful that he might have something to offer us.

Xofigo (Radium-223)
Just wondering how many men have had
Xofigo
and if it worked for them. And if it worked, for how long? Our radiation oncologist has recommended this as our next step (as has Tall Allen). Wondering about side effects also - thanks!

Do not know what to think???
Doctor stopped the
xofigo
, he is going to try and get him in a clinical trial and also setting up chemotherapy training for us. Both of his doctors think the chemotherapy will be too hard on him. Urologist said he should get everything in order such as his will and ect.

Looking for data-
Yes I have bone and liver Mets- but this is second rechallenge with Taxotere after first in 2016- numerous treatments-
Xofigo
Xtandi Zytiga - You would think if taxotere is effecting cancer growth those levels would go down and not sharply increase. No pain- just chemo side effects.

Starting Radium 223 (Xofigo) next week
Having just finished a trial of carboplatin + docetaxel, I'll be starting
Xofigo
next week as a bridge to a pembro+ trial early next year. My latest PSA is 940, with no visible soft tissue involvement. I have a single-strand CDK12 defect.

Next Step
After my dad completes
Xofigo
, he will require a new CT scan and bone scan for staging purposes. If he has soft-tissue metastases, he might be eligible for the COMBAT trial. Alternatively, he might be a candidate for the VERU-111 clinical trial. My Dad has the somatic TP53 mutation.

Xofigo sent me to the ER
June 13th I had my 4th
Xofigo
infusion and over the next three days I grew weaker and more fatigued until Sunday night, I couldn't move. My muscles would not work in my legs or arms and my wife had to call EMTs to get me and take me to the ER.

Our Short Journey
After 2 surgeries, many radiation treatments, Zytiga, and the past 3 months of
Xofigo
the doctor has informed us the Derek’s cancer has taken a very aggressive turn. He has a tumor in each lung and several in his liver, along with a lot more Mets throughout his bones.

Red blood cells count is down
My husband had just got done with his third shot of
Xofigo
. His red blood cell count is down, not enough for a blood transfusion. He is totally exhausted all the time. Is there anything he can take to give him some energy? This is very depressing for him.

Keep on fighting guys
Before that my dad tried everything from radium injections, chemo,radiation,
xofigo
. He did it all with a smile on his face. Dont lose hope and keep looking for new treatments. I believe my father fought so hard for me, his wife of 44 years and my siblings. Stay strong and keep fighting guys

Should be wait?
My husband received two injections of
Xofigo
, had blood test last week and seen the doctor yesterday. His psa went from 160 to 270. My husband wants to give
Xofigo
a chance and the doctor agreed to have him get two more injections. If his psa does not go down, he will start docetaxel infusions.
