xofigo treatment
My father has been taking the
xofigo
treatment for 4 months now (one treatment per month). He will be taking his 5th treatment tomorrow, in addition to Lupron and Xgeva (every three months). His PSA continues to increase - when he started the treatment 4 months ago it was 56.

Xofigo - Update after round 3
Good morning everyone. I’m now halfway through the 6 month cycle. For the last 2 months I’ve had to get a booster shot for my white blood count being low. The ANC drops below 1.5 and I have antibiotics in case of a fever. Thankfully that hasn’t happened. Of course the shot does have a side effect of

Change in plans - looks like neuroendocrine
From my last post, I had an allergic reaction 15 minutes into my first dose of Docetaxel - part of a clinical trial combining Docetaxel and
Xofigo
(Radium-223).

Why can't I get Prostate SBRT when I'm metastatic?
I've been through
Xofigo
series and a month after that finished, had more Mets than I started with. Seems like the bone is left in a weakened state and CTCs repopulate everything. PET scan after
Xofigo
says one major hot spot, the Prostate and Prostate Bed.

Failed Chemo 101
While this is disappointing, I will continue with
Xofigo
(Radium 223) as soon as it clears insurance. What is the likelihood that I wiped out the entire class of taxanes by having reactions to Docetaxel? I'm sure that before long, I will need chemo for non-bone tumors, and I'm looking at options.

Lu-177 switch from Xofigo. How long an interval?
The nuclear medicine physician administering the
Xofigo
said I should wait six months to get the
Xofigo
out of my system before beginning another radio pharmaceutical (therefore Lu-177.) Is this true or just one opinion?

What to do next?
My Pop had a Axumin Pet Scan earlier this week, and was supposed to have his second
Xofigo
injection which was cancelled because of results/progression. Impression shows lung nodules, which demonstrate mild radiotracer uptake which are new and concerning for lung involvement.

Long delay getting new therapy
My MO and I talked a couple of weeks ago and suspended
Xofigo
due to monthly doubling PSA and the MO promised a decision on new therapy but "I need a little time". After 2 weeks of not hearing back, I grow worried.

XOFIGO Update
I received my lab results back in preparation for round 2 of
Xofigo
on Friday. My white blood cell count was low, down to 2.2, taking a booster shot tomorrow to address that issue. The Alkaline Photophase is down to 75 and back in the normal range for the first time since before DX.

What next after chemo, neuroendocrine cancer
Started
Xofigo
in early May. My question is, what next after
xofigo
? Genetic testing indicates lutetium not likely to be successful.

Very important to ALWAYS use a bone-strengthening agent with Xofigo
I added a section to my article on
Xofigo
, highlighting the results of the REASSURE trial.

Off label use of Mekinist (Trametinib)
Xofigo
started in Feb 2014. Became anemic and could only be kept alive with monthly blood transfusions.
Xofigo
stopped in August. PSA over 120. Bills chance of living another 6 months bleak. Started Mekinist. Bill purchased it at $10,000 per month. By December 2014 PSA had dropped to 18.
