Radium 223
We are going to be receiving our 4th
Xofigo
treatment. Can anyone fill us in as to what happens from here? We just had a scan. Still no Mets in the soft tissue just the bones. We would just appreciate some honesty. Should we be looking to go to Germany for treat with LU177?

Moving on to Xtandi
He also highly suggested
Xofigo
. I'm not experiencing any bone pain but due to the rising PSA, I will pursue it. I finished my 3 infusions of Provenge 3 months ago. Others here believe that having Provenge and
xofigo
is beneficial.

PSA jump
They will do a PET scan to make sure it hasn't spread to organs and start
Xofigo
30th April. The would have started the
Xofigo
next week but they said this Virus crap makes everything logistically more complicated.

Low dose cabazitazel for bone marrow infiltration

xofigo
(1 dose). Adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine. PC now in his bone marrow. Trying low dose cabazitazel. Anyone done the same? He so tired.

ADT medications, diet changes, and supplements have lowered PSA from 2900 to current number of 152, lowest PSA was 60, began to climb again
MO is suggesting
Xofigo
as next step, based on recent scans that show Mets have small increase since first scans to bones but no soft tissue spread.

Update on my dad. Need help, hope. Docetaxel over 80?
He was to begin docetaxel after
xofigo
, but oncologist yesterday says he highly advises against it. He is set for mri in May to look at his spine. Sometimes his neck just gives and his head falls forward now (he said its happened a couple of times).

Cabazitaxel vs Docetaxel
Now just over 2 years later, he’s done Zytiga,
Xofigo
and currently on Xtandi. PSA rising (although with COVID-19, we’ve had to skip a month of labs — go Monday). At our last visit, doctor talked about having Cabazitaxel as an option.

Recent 2020 research report, and one in 2017 showing Xofigo may have a much higher risk of serious side effects on bone marrow than thought!
Unfortunately, some of us here have been suspecting this, due to personal experience: "Twenty-three patients received
Xofigo
at UF Health, and one was lost to follow-up. Sixteen patients (73%) completed the full course (six doses) of
Xofigo
, while six did not.

The hits just keep on coming along with 4 new mets.
seems like there are many of you that have lived for years and have many options according to my doc today said it's very limited to clinical trials and chemo for your type cancer which has a low likely hood of sucess 30 to 40% then I mention a combo that was recommended on this forum provenge and

Abiraterone Failure
(have ruled out BRCA2+ mutation...also I believe we have ruled out AR-V7 expression)..my alkaline phosphate remains good at 45...next choice seems to be enzalutamide (I responded well to Casodex and hope to not be cross-sensitive vis-à-vis abiraterone) and
Xofigo
(I already receive Zometa to mitigate

How to get cell counts back to normal after Radium 223 (Xofigo) first dose?
Since my Dad had his first dose of Radium 223 (
Xofigo
), a few months ago now, his cell counts; Neutrophils, white blood cells, Heamoglobin and platelets have decreased. There was mention of a blood transfusion but I don't think it is necessary yet.

Anyone taking Darolutamide develope asthenia, a known side effect? I've read similar SEs with Xtandi, so is this with all lutamide drugs?
Last summer this combo was losing effectiveness, so MO took him off the Lynparza (because it would be too hard on his blood counts with
Xofigo
). MO also switched his steroid from prednisone to dexamethasone (to extend Zytiga) then started
Xofigo
last Sept.

Who has been on Xofigo? What were side effects and outcome?
Saw my onc yesterday and he would like me to start
Xofigo
. I'm currently taking Xtandi and I've had an Orchiectomy so no other drugs. When my PSA reached 123 I went on Xtandi which knocked it down to 6 but then 3 mos later it was 12 then 22 and now is 25. I should also mention I'm BRCA2.

Xofigo (Radium 223) to take with anything else as PSA levels have rocketed since coming off hormone treatment?
My father is hormone resistant and been fighting prostate cancer since 2013. He is 82, a recent scan showed his cancer hasn't spread to organs so has been approved to try Radium 223. His PSA levels have rocketed to 400 which is higher than when he had been on any hormone treatment, which he was taken
