Switching gears due to insurance denial of treatment plan
I guess cost wasn't in the insurance reps mind as
Xofigo
is 130k where chemo would be 20k. My headstone will read "im here because insurance wouldn't let me have life saving treatment" First injection done today, so far so good. PS. got results back from Gardant.

I asked if I could do Provenge and
Xofigo
together and he said no. He still pushes for that first instead of docetaxel. I asked him if we could do
xofigo
directly after the Provenge and he seemed agreeable to that.

Next steps with high PSA during Jevtana
My doc and I agreed to take Xtandi again for 2 months or so to see if it can attack the PSA again, then to consider
Xofigo
radiation to attack the bones. Do you folks have any suggestions?

Synergy between radiation of metastases and immunotherapy confirmed
In a short-term phase 2 trial,
Xofigo
(radium 223 chloride) was combined with Provenge (sipuleucel-T) in castration-resistant patients.

Return of spinal soft tissue Mets. What to do?
Not sure that
Xofigo
( radium 223) will work with soft tissue Mets but my alkaline phosphotase has gone from 80 to 160 if that means anything. Might also be able to do surgery again and/ or stereotactic radiation. I am now 58 , took a couple of Tylenol and went and played golf with my son today.

Next step: Jevtana or Xofigo?
Hussain again on August 6th to decide what's next, but she mentioned both
Xofigo
and Jevtana as options. (I'm also going to push to switch to dexamethasone before we give up on Zytiga.) Dr. Hussain sounded like she favors
Xofigo
.

Revisiting the ORIOLE trial--SBRT vs Observation--Key Take Home points for the Oligometastatic PCa patient
Tran mentions the RAVENS trial using Radium 223/
Xofigo
with SBRT in an effort to wipe out micrometastasis along with SBRT. This trial is still enrolling and worth considering for those interested. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04037358 Welcoming thoughts and feedback... Don Pescado

It was suggested to proceed with a harpoon trial at Ohsu led by Dr beers. Every week until until it no longer works,
Dr beers thinks another form of chemo or
xofigo
may not be very ineffective or short lived results.

4th chemo session of docetaxal PSA increased from 2.7 to 4.4 to 9.3 in three consecutive sessions every 3rd week.
It was suggested
xofigo
, and if anybody knows of something different or a combination of above mentioned drug. I know I have some options left, although things seem to be accelerating pretty fast.
