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.

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.

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.

PSMA scan changes treatment yet again
I’m probably now swapping to
Xofigo
- will know in a few days. Three times over 6 months a PSMA scan has prevented me from pursuing a treatment that wasn’t working.

According to PSMA PET Scan all metastases found are in bones; so after discussion with Oncologist about options, Xofigo (Radium-223) is next
The Veterans Administration (My cancer is traceable to Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam) is referring me to the Levine Cancer Institute for therapy with
Xofigo
(Radium-223). It is normally given IV once a month for six months.

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.

Rising PSA and want to be the best advocate!
He cannot have the prostate bed radiated again, so I'm wondering what the best options are for additional medications when that time presents itself...Zytiga,
Xofigo
, Provenge, Jevtana, etc.? I've always been his biggest cheerleader and he is the greatest warrior I've ever known in my life.

The VA oncologist is scheduling me for 2

WBC good -Leg Pain Bad
My CBC this week had the best numbers since April before we started
Xofigo
. The bad news is my right leg is hurting really bad. I can limp around the house but it hurts. My MO gave a prescription of morphine and I have a PET scan scheduled next Wednesday. Looking for recommendations.

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.

Prostate pain - xtandi/Xofigo & spot radiation
Hi all, just wanted to check if anyone would have any idea as to why Dad's prostate area is sore. He went to do a few minutes on his Excercise bike last week and said the pain in his prostate area was bad, he is getting up more frequently to pee at night (no pain but dribbles) and then today she said
