Rising PSA and want to be the best advocate!
He cannot have the prostate bed radiated again, so I'm wondering what the best options are for additional medications when that time presents itself...Zytiga,
Xofigo
, Provenge, Jevtana, etc.? I've always been his biggest cheerleader and he is the greatest warrior I've ever known in my life.

Prostate pain - xtandi/Xofigo & spot radiation
Hi all, just wanted to check if anyone would have any idea as to why Dad's prostate area is sore. He went to do a few minutes on his Excercise bike last week and said the pain in his prostate area was bad, he is getting up more frequently to pee at night (no pain but dribbles) and then today she said

WBC good -Leg Pain Bad
My CBC this week had the best numbers since April before we started
Xofigo
. The bad news is my right leg is hurting really bad. I can limp around the house but it hurts. My MO gave a prescription of morphine and I have a PET scan scheduled next Wednesday. Looking for recommendations.

Cancer Doctor Recommends Xofigo (Radium 223) Because PSA is Rising Again After 10 Months of ADT with Firmagon and Zytiga
The VA oncologist is scheduling me for 2
Xofigo
(Radium 223) treatments at the Levine Cancer Institute. We will continue Firmagon, Zytiga and Prednisone for now.

PSA spike while on Xofigo
I completed
Xofigo
on Oct 29th. My PSA was .45 when we started. It slowly crept up the first 4 doses. Then it was 2.7 in SEP, 4.08 in OCT and now 7.76 in NOV. Do you think this is normal or that the Xtandi is failing. We are doing a PET in 2 weeks to see how the
Xofigo
worked on the bone METs.

Xofigo - Finished
Good morning everyone. After a 1 month delay between 4&5 we finished the last dose on Friday. I was really surprised they gave it to me. My WBC was 1.8, ANC .6 and platelets at 42. The RO said he spoke with my MO and they both agreed since it was the last one to finish. I’ll find out Wednesday what my

Finished Xofigo PSA over 800 Oncolgist says time for Chemo also wants us to talk about a trial why would we?
We have turned down 2 trials in past .My husband wasn’t wanting Chemo but had agreed! I don’t know why we would think about a trial at this point. He has been having more lower back past 2 weeks! Anyone’s thoughts on trial vs chemo.

Xofigo #6 Next Week
It’s hard to wait and see how the
Xofigo
has worked on reducing/eradicating the METS. My PSA jumped from 2.7 to 4.08 over the last month. Has anyone else had this happen? It was at .35 prior to starting the
Xofigo
and has continually increased.

Can I try A rechallenge with Xtandi after using docetaxel and cabazitaxel?
Planning on
xofigo
next but my hemoglobin has been in the 8’s since beginning chemo. Could retrying xtandi benefit me at all while I wait for my hemoglobin to recover ?

5th Xofigo treatment done PSA is at 692.32
Getting nervous with the rise in PSA. I know this treatment does not effect it but what does it mean? We are not close to any areas where the PSMA PET are available so it will be the same scan as before but what if it shows nothing new? Beginning to feel more going on and boom one day soon really bad

XOFIGO Update after round 4
I received a call yesterday postponing my 5th dose of
Xofigo
for a month. My WBC is too low .74 even though I’ve been getting booster shots each week for the last 6 weeks.

Has anyone experienced excruciating pain after a few weeks of starting Xofigo (Radium 223)? Started 08/04/2021. Hospitalized since Sat-8/21
She states it could be from the
Xofigo
attacking the cancer cells. Thoughts?
