First official meeting with oncologist!
3) Is
Xofigo
only available when cancer stops responding to hormone therapy and becomes castrate resistant? 4) At what point should we try Provenge? 5) Are there significant differences between Zytiga with Prednisone versus Casodex and Lupron?

Our next step
Has more pain in ribs he is having an infusion of
Xofigo
today and come back in 2 months to repeat CT scan and nuclear scan and to take to radiologist about having radiation on the rib area. He is not looking forward to more radiation but better than the chemo I guess

My Next Step?
He was treated with hormonal inj, currently on trelstar every 3 months , Zytega, prednisone daily,
xofigo
every month and Xgeva monthly. His Oncologist, great guy, had an accident and is currently out. His two sons, part of the practice, do not have a great reputation.

Xofigo and Zytiga
He also said one of the VPs at Bayer (makers of
Xofigo
) has issued a medical warning against combining these two drugs. Anyone aware of this?

Xofigo
He is on a high dose of MS Contin and we are hoping
Xofigo
will decrease his pain and need for high dose narcotics. And also improve his quality. Please let us know any of your experiences.

To all those who received XOFIGO treatment :
Oncologist wants to add
XOFIGO
starting in July with 4 treatments one a month for 4 months. The problem is we have a trip planned for my 70th Birthday in September that has been planned for months. The side effects of
XOFIGO
seem to be similar to Taxotere which actually put me in the hospital.

Radium223 Side Effects
I just had my 5th
Xofigo
treatment. I've had bad diarrhea and nausea for 10 days and now a headache. I've had the big D before with the last 4 treatments but not this bad. These are known side effects, but this intense? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks and keep strong.

Discussion about Xofigo with my oncologist today
I met with my oncologist today and we discussed the use of
Xofigo
. He asked me if I would consider starting it and I told him I was concerned because I heard recently of quite a few people who have had their blood numbers "crash" after using it.

Metastatic Prostate cancer to bone - next step chemo
Have done zytega/prednisone, Provenge,
xofigo
, SRS on 3 lumbar bone Mets last month. Psa 1.3 before radiation. Really worried about doing taxotere. Is it really hard? Sick, hair loss, more fatigue?

"OLD" DRUG WORKS PRETTY GOOD
Zytiga/ Xtandi/
Xofigo
/ Provenge/ Olaparib to mention the most important. With the exception of Xtandi I have had them all. As we sequentially go through these wonder drugs we keep an eye to what's next? May 2017 I decided to re-evaluate my situation.

PC Invasion of My Liver
I was just about to have my 4th infusion for
Xofigo
(Radium 223). But my scan from last week showed this movement which made my continuing
Xofigo
not viable since it works on bone only. I'm standing here now waiting for the Oncologists, that are working my case, to decide what to do next.

Update on my husband-Hankwhy(Mike)
After two rounds of
Xofigo
he had to stop. Side affects were brutal, never quite got back to himself after. We are in palliative care, soon transferring to hospice. He did manage to go stripper fishing on Good Friday, collapsed when he got home, but happy he went.
