Chemo while low PSA
,
Xofigo
2016 (mets in shoulder and ribs), Lynparza 2016. The PSA never went over 10.5. I have been diagnosed with a BRCA2 mutation, which is the reason I started with Lynparza (Olaparib).

Another promising experimental therapy
I guess it's like
Xofigo
, but not just for bones. As with all the other treatments, some patients experience a dramatic response, some a good response, and some no response. One guy went from a PSA of 3,000 to < 0.1.

Common Treatments for Advanced Prostate Cancer
If your prostate cancer hasn’t spread beyond your bones, your doctor may consider using the drug radium-223 (
Xofigo
), along with medicine to lower your testosterone level. You get radium-223 by injection once a month.

American Horror Story
Chuck went on to fail Zytiga, Xtandi,
Xofigo
and chemo within 13 months...his body lights up like a Christmas tree on Pet Scans with a PSA of 6300. Chuck is now in hospice on a morphine drip. The moral of the story..live with PCa and keep it on a short leash as long as possible. Gus

Xofigo treatment
Hi all, I'm a bit lost as to what Radium-223/
Xofigo
actually does. Does it attack the cancer, or relieve the pain? Or, both? Also, how is it administered? And, how many treatments? I have few mets, but no pain. Actually I've been very lucky in the pain department.

What a turn around!
It was 29 the week I started
Xofigo
. That was July 20, my most recent lab work it's 6. T=0. But, that was a quick response I believe. Has anyone else seen such a drop, in such a short period of time? I'm amazed, but I'm also curious. Peace All, Joe

Had my third
Xofigo
injection this week.
Xofigo
injections are easy and take only about five minutes once a month for six months. So far, little to no side effects. Blood tests have all looked good. PSA down to 1.15 from a high of 9 a few months ago. Testosterone 15.

Surgery not possible for L1-L2 compression fractures related to tumors
Given stronger pain meds and will get direct and
xofigo
radiation soon. What should he expect? PSA is skyrocketing and because PSA and pain only increased in the 5 months of Xtandi, his chance of positive response to zytiga is only about 20%, according to research studies.
