Our Short Journey
After 2 surgeries, many radiation treatments, Zytiga, and the past 3 months of
Xofigo
the doctor has informed us the Derek’s cancer has taken a very aggressive turn. He has a tumor in each lung and several in his liver, along with a lot more Mets throughout his bones.

Red blood cells count is down
My husband had just got done with his third shot of
Xofigo
. His red blood cell count is down, not enough for a blood transfusion. He is totally exhausted all the time. Is there anything he can take to give him some energy? This is very depressing for him.

Should be wait?
My husband received two injections of
Xofigo
, had blood test last week and seen the doctor yesterday. His psa went from 160 to 270. My husband wants to give
Xofigo
a chance and the doctor agreed to have him get two more injections. If his psa does not go down, he will start docetaxel infusions.

Making the Best CHOICE for Daddy. What to do next.....
MO also mentioned
Xofigo
for later down the road. My Dad still works full-time in AutoPaint and Auto Body repair. He is 76 years old.

He just received his first shot of
xofigo
. He is still losing weight and has no energy. Next week he gets a blood test for his Ps a and blood count. I take this one day at a time. I know that not all prostate cancer victims have the same experience but I would like to hear more stories like mine.

New Chapter: Xofigo!
I received my first injection of
Xofigo
on 032019. Four days later, it seems to be a no impact event. I have not experienced any of the listed possible side effects. Still working on the ranch despite the bone mets. I hope the
Xofigo
will provide some relief from pain in one hip.

How much to interact with care?
I asked his MO about clinical trials on lu 177 vs
Xofigo
as his next treatment option and was told I should stay off the internet. My husband acts as if he would prefer I not go with him. I feel helpless. I want my husband to fight and ask questions but he seems to have given up.

Currently my MO is searching for a suitable Trial Study, if none are found he is suggesting Cabazitaxel/Carboplatin chemo or Xtandi/
Xofigo
combos. I welcome any thoughts or suggestions regarding treatments going forward. Best to everyone.

Question on Xtandi
I was unable to complete the
Xofigo
schedule of treatment- six shots- only got to 3 due to hemoglobin too low. MO prescribed Xtandi at this point- However says it takes about 3-4 weeks to get the drug from time of prescribing.

Ups and downs......
Strange disease this MCRPC- Blood levels so low they could not do 4th
Xofigo
treatment. They did fecal test and found blood- Thought anemia may be caused by bleeding somewhere- so off to the GI I go next week. I was one of the few with
Xofigo
reaction also- so rather nice to have a break.

Chemo again -- after all other treatments for advance PCa
In the first two years he went through just about everything (
Xofigo
, Provenge, then Xtandi, and squeezed a few months out of Zytiga). Bugger cells have found their work arounds. So what's up now?

You never know
I’m now trying
Xofigo
as the cancer is only in my bones in a few spots. So what I’m getting at is sometimes a CT will find cancer where you never thought it was. For me a fall and a trip to the ER have made a huge difference in my life.

I am searching out anyone with severe bone pain after this injection, Extreme fatigue- life changing! Not sure I can tolerate injection 4 and 5, 6. I cannot find info on this and radiation oncologist did not warn of this. Bone pain tripled. Currently obviously off Zytiga so no ADT going on for nearly
