Advice - Thoughts - Bone Marrow Suppression - Blood Counts
I think between the
Xofigo
and the cancer it’s wiped out my bone marrow. Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also my AwBC are low I’ve been taking filgastrim shots. Also Xgeva and gosserlin shots We’re still in the fight but things are looking tough.

We have reached castrate resistance...what to do next?
The MO offered basically 3 treatment options, as Dad states he really is not interested in considering any additional attempts at chemo: 1) Zytiga + steroid and stay on the estradiol patches 2) Referral to radiation oncology for
Xofigo
(or similar drug?)

Third Jevtana/Carboplatin treatment completed. Total of 10 chemo treatments are now completed overall. Hoping for better results.
My oncologist indicates Other options including Provenge,
xofigo
, mitoxantrone, clinical trials. I'm adding the possibility of Lu-177 to the mix. We're all in this together! Keep Going!

Starting Xofigo RA 223
Yesterday, we met with the Radiation Oncologist at Mayo Phoenix and he recommended 6 cycles of
Xofigo
. My question is - have any of you tried
Xofigo
after Docetaxel and did you have any luck with it. I am feeling the best I have felt in a year after the chemo.

Next Move
Taxanes,Provenge,
Xofigo
or something else? My first thought is to switch to dexamethasone from prednisone and see if I can extend the Zytiga's effectiveness for a little while longer. Next thought was
Xofigo
due to having just bone mets at this time.

Castration Resistant Stage 4 Advanced Prostate Cancer Therapy Update - Starting EBRT and Xofigo Today
I will be going to the Levine Cancer Institute today to begin 10 cycles of External Beam Radio Therapy (EBRT) and 6-months of intravenous
Xofigo
. We don't have the results back yet from a bone density test that I took yesterday to determine the dosage of Fosamax needed to prevent bone fractures.

PSMA scan changes treatment yet again
I’m probably now swapping to
Xofigo
- will know in a few days. Three times over 6 months a PSMA scan has prevented me from pursuing a treatment that wasn’t working.

According to PSMA PET Scan all metastases found are in bones; so after discussion with Oncologist about options, Xofigo (Radium-223) is next
The Veterans Administration (My cancer is traceable to Agent Orange exposure in Vietnam) is referring me to the Levine Cancer Institute for therapy with
Xofigo
(Radium-223). It is normally given IV once a month for six months.

PET Scan results.
I haven’t seen the full report but it looks like overall
Xofigo
has worked well. I’ll find out all the details on the 22nd. Thankful to see the words significant improvement. That surely beats the last one in February. Hopefully we have this beast on the run at least for a little while.
