Update on my husband-Hankwhy(Mike)
After two rounds of
Xofigo
he had to stop. Side affects were brutal, never quite got back to himself after. We are in palliative care, soon transferring to hospice. He did manage to go stripper fishing on Good Friday, collapsed when he got home, but happy he went.

What's my next line of defense?
By October 2017 my PSA was up to 15.90 so my oncologist recommended injections of Radium 223 (Dichloride,
Xofigo
) Between October 2017 and March 2018 I had (6) injections (1) every four weeks.

Xofigo may fight bone metastasies for 2 or more years
A small, 44 castrate resistent metastatic prostate cancer patient study showed that
Xofigo
could be useful in a repeat adminsitration (six spaced out injections), extending it's use to two or more years. https://malecare.org/metastatic-prostate-cancer-bone-metastases-might-be-controled-with-

Anyone who has done carboplatin after all other treatments, including early Taxotere?
Note: He is only 56, very healthy otherwise, but his blood values really suffered during the Taxotere, and also the RA223/
Xofigo
therapies. He got Neupogen which kept him on schedule with the chemo (so I guess not as bad as some people) but his low blood counts get him really anxious.

Deciding a plan of care for Stage 4 with mets to skull, spine, ribs, shoulder and pelvis.
He has suggested Zytiga with Prednisone or Radium 223 (
Xofigo
) He also mentioned Xtandi. He says he would try to Zytiga first. Does this sound like a good treatment plan? We meet with the medical onc this Wednesday. Hopefully, to get the best plan possible.

Axumin Study: Xofigo Working
I had five
Xofigo
infusions treatments ending in June, 2017. This week, a new Axumin Study showed complete resolution of the hot spots in the Prostate area and really marked reduction of those in the pelvis and spine--reductions in brightness scores for example from 12.3 to 2.6.

ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (Xofigo - Radium-223 retreatment)
Darryl already reported this one, but the abstract is below [1]. Note that the half-life of radium-223 is only 11.4 days. "The recommended regimen is six treatments of 55 kBq/kg (1.3 uCi per kg), repeated at 4-week intervals." [2] "Re-treating with Ra-223 was well tolerated in this select pt population

Ten year battle is over.
After 10 years of ADT, brachytherapy, IMRT, HDK, Xtandi, Zytiga,
Xofigo
, etc., my husband, Bob, passed away on Monday evening, November 6. He was able to go to Duke in late August and was approved for Keytruda under Merck's open access program.

Progression Report
The

Xofigo

Xofigo Timing.
Made reference to the ALSYMPCA trial, where "42% of patients on the radium 223 arm had not received all 6 doses" [2], suggesting that
Xofigo
should have started earlier in those men.

Happy Fall Y’all
I will begin
Xofigo
injections next week, for six months. Wanted to see if any one of you have had this radioactive medicine. Been dealing with a lot of back & bone pain after my ten rounds of chemo. Also a quick hospital stay. Anxious for this new “phase” , also very concerned.

Introduction - Wife/Caretaker of Advanced Prostate Cancer Husband
We have finished our 5 th of 6 rounds of chemo (Taxotere and Carboplatin) The next path the Doctor is discussing is
Xofigo
right after the Chemo is done. We had a scan before Chemo it showed bone mets and some lymph node activity. My sweetie is tolerating chemo beautifully.
