American Horror Story
Chuck went on to fail Zytiga, Xtandi,
Xofigo
and chemo within 13 months...his body lights up like a Christmas tree on Pet Scans with a PSA of 6300. Chuck is now in hospice on a morphine drip. The moral of the story..live with PCa and keep it on a short leash as long as possible. Gus

Xofigo treatment
Hi all, I'm a bit lost as to what Radium-223/
Xofigo
actually does. Does it attack the cancer, or relieve the pain? Or, both? Also, how is it administered? And, how many treatments? I have few mets, but no pain. Actually I've been very lucky in the pain department.

What a turn around!
It was 29 the week I started
Xofigo
. That was July 20, my most recent lab work it's 6. T=0. But, that was a quick response I believe. Has anyone else seen such a drop, in such a short period of time? I'm amazed, but I'm also curious. Peace All, Joe

Had my third
Xofigo
injection this week.
Xofigo
injections are easy and take only about five minutes once a month for six months. So far, little to no side effects. Blood tests have all looked good. PSA down to 1.15 from a high of 9 a few months ago. Testosterone 15.

Surgery not possible for L1-L2 compression fractures related to tumors
Given stronger pain meds and will get direct and
xofigo
radiation soon. What should he expect? PSA is skyrocketing and because PSA and pain only increased in the 5 months of Xtandi, his chance of positive response to zytiga is only about 20%, according to research studies.

Xofigo;Stomach pain
Anyone know can I expect about the same side effects for remaining 5 injections of
Xofigo
? I am told it could take 2 weeks to 2 months for the
Xofigo
to relieve the Cancer pain. Any experience with this?

Need guidance: maybe stopping treatment Due to treatment failure
Onc wants to try
Xofigo
and Zytiga now. He received his 3month lupron shot but is considering ceasing all other treatments. I'm not sure how to guide him. He is 45 years old and we have two children under 8 years old. He was diagnosed 1 year ago with a very aggressive cancer, PSA over 2700.
