Ten year battle is over.
After 10 years of ADT, brachytherapy, IMRT, HDK, Xtandi, Zytiga,
Xofigo
, etc., my husband, Bob, passed away on Monday evening, November 6. He was able to go to Duke in late August and was approved for Keytruda under Merck's open access program.

The
Xofigo
is actually helping the rib cage. I’ve had less pain at the known lesions since the second infusion. I had appetite, nausea and GI issues from the
Xofigo
, but as they often say, “there’s a pill for that.”

Xofigo
Hello I was wondering if anyone has been on
xofigo
and if so how did it work for you? My dads next step is to try that he has bone Mets and has a lot of pain. Anyone’s thoughts? He is still doing xgeva and Lupron injections.

Xofigo Timing.
Made reference to the ALSYMPCA trial, where "42% of patients on the radium 223 arm had not received all 6 doses" [2], suggesting that
Xofigo
should have started earlier in those men.

Happy Fall Y’all
I will begin
Xofigo
injections next week, for six months. Wanted to see if any one of you have had this radioactive medicine. Been dealing with a lot of back & bone pain after my ten rounds of chemo. Also a quick hospital stay. Anxious for this new “phase” , also very concerned.

Introduction - Wife/Caretaker of Advanced Prostate Cancer Husband
We have finished our 5 th of 6 rounds of chemo (Taxotere and Carboplatin) The next path the Doctor is discussing is
Xofigo
right after the Chemo is done. We had a scan before Chemo it showed bone mets and some lymph node activity. My sweetie is tolerating chemo beautifully.

Approved for Xofigo
After my successful run on Zytiga, I've now been approved for
Xofigo
. My first labs were yesterday, and my first injection is next Monday. I've done A LOT of reading about
Xofigo
.

A clinical trial for me.
Taxotere, Zoladex, Lupron, Zytiga, Prednisone,
Xofigo
and now back to taxotere. I have a pacemaker, kidney failure, liver disease (non alcohol related).

Moving on from Zytiga
My MedOnc has referred me to the RadOnc with the expectation of starting
Xofigo
. I had a CT scan in May that did not show soft tissue mets, but the RadOnc may want to repeat that. If I turn out to be ARV7 Neg, then we may add Xtandi simultaneously.

Trouble walking, balance, etc - on Xofigo
Have had two doses of
Xofigo
and my pain has not gotten much better. In addition, all of a sudden in the last few days, my equilibrium has gone haywire. I look like I have had "one too many"- actually wish I had!!! Has any one else had this problem.

Diagnosis + 18 years; update since Xofigo
I finished
Xofigo
last October. My experience with it was good. Minimal side effects, no complications. Pain relief from multiple bone mets started after about 6 weeks on
Xofigo
. PSA was .66 on completion of
Xofigo
treatments. Unfortunately in January I fractured my T7 & T8 vertebrae in a fall.

Lutetium-177 PSMA - A new experimental treatment
Unlike
Xofigo
, this "targeted therapy" attacks cancer in soft tissue, not just in bones. So if you've got metastases, for example, in the liver, lungs, stomach, etc., they can be treated by this therapy. 2. Results. Not everyone with PCa has lots of PSMA. Those who don't won't benefit.
