xtandi
lasted two months. Then a L3 met zapped off Sept 2019 yay . But then a rapid 4 more came back on board.

PSA levels rising, Oncologist says to consider alternatives
He is looking into Cosmic clinical trial to see if I qualify, and considering
Xtandi
, Taxotere, and Jevtana. I have tolerated Firmagon and Zytiga comparatively well, and feel good with plenty of energy. I would appreciate ideas, thoughts, and information.

I need help understanding enlarged lymph node
Both of them were resolved with
Xtandi
which I have been on for 18 months. Also on Lupron and Zometa. I feel great. The only side effects are things that I would consider very minor.

Questions to ask at new consult tomorrow AM (and future ones)? Also info on clinical trials? Other MO's you like?
Resistant to docetaxel first and then to
Xtandi
(confirmed by scans). Now on Cabazitaxel plus Neulasta, had 2 treatments. PSA increased (might be flare, might not). No side effects docetaxel; miserable on Cabazitaxel. Still on Lupron and Xgeva.

Next Step - Rising PSA
When do I look at the next bullet - Zytiga or
Xtandi
. 2. Are the side effects worse than just Lupron?? I am very active in spite of the fatigue. Sure appreciate your input. Tom

Did you take Xtandi after surgery?
My husband has taken
Xtandi
& Lypron for 8 mos then last month had his prostate removed (also has mets to the back). Did anyone continue these medications after surgery?

Rising PSA
Time for
xtandi
or some other drug? Oh. Axiom scan in Oct 2019 showed no areas of metastasis. Thanks

Zytiga vs Xtandi
I am sure Zytiga is causing my Lymphopenia (recent test 361 cells/uL), so is
Xtandi
an option for replacement. I am also on Lupron. Other than Lymphopenia I don't seem to have any side effects that I can't handle and I feel relatively good.

Question about xtandi response during initial treatment :)
Is there an initial flare of ALP from starting
xtandi
? And if the PSA drops after
xtandi
, does it mean that it’s a hormone-sensitive cancer? Thank you guys so much - Mary

After Zytiga & Extandi....?
Besides increasing the
Xtandi
(Rob nor the doctor feel he will be able to handle it at a higher dose.), what other treatment options would you suggest? Thanking you and praying for your safe keeping and good health during our present Covid crisis.

Vertigo
Started
Xtandi
8 months ago. I know
Xtandi
can cause seizures, but I think that would have shown up before now. Still working at 68 yo and in good health as far as my doctors and I know. It doesn't happen often, but often enough to notice.

$200 for you! Patient research for metastatic stage 4 prostate cancer (aka MPC)
This research is for men with MPC whose disease progressed after hormonal treatment (Zytiga,
Xtandi
, etc) and received chemotherapy. It's very easy to participate in. It's one call with one moderator talking about your experience.

By way of introduction...
Started 3-mo Lupron/
Xtandi
therapy. Progress PET scheduled October 2020. Genetic testing identified PIK3CA as probably driver. 100% UI/ED. This is high risk disease with distant metastisis and unresponsive PSA indicator, meaning almost total reliance on imaging.

How about a Foundation One Genomic blood or tumor test; Pending results of my next 06/08 CT/NM bone scan results??
May be able to throw in AR-V7 Gene Splices--which can indicate effectiveness of
Xtandi
, and Zytiga, My reasoning is: I’m having my 2nd set of CT scans Pelvis, Abs, Chest and NM total body bone Scan June 8th one week from Monday.

If casodex switches to feeding PCA
If casodex switched to feeding PCA would not
XTANDI
do the same thing since they are similiar drugs?

Xtandi not working?
Started
Xtandi
a month ago after my PSA went to 8.3 almost a year after radiation and Lupron every three months also started casodex prior to
Xtandi
. Had second opinion from another Oncologist and said this was the right course to take and suggested have PSA in a month.

Round 3 of docetaxal June 4th. I almost dont want it to end.
Rad prostectomy 2016, 37 sessions rad 2017 zytiga lupron 2018 to 2019 stopped PSA soared, then
xtandi
and lupron stopped within a couple months. Currently cruising into round 3 of docetaxal 5 bone Mets detected that prompted chemo decision, L3 zapped by rad 6 months ago.

What’s next: Xtandi, Cabazitaxel or Lutetium-177
And, our onco recommended 3 options:
Xtandi
, Cabazitaxel or Lu-177 (Btw, husband doesnt have any genetic mutations like BRCA1/2 based on germline test done in Singapore last yr.

Followers have been checking in on me...I'm STILL here!!! and so is my food! Pasta with chicken breast and peas in a creamy sauce
Doctor says this is a GOOD result...just going to be staying the course with Lupron and
Xtandi
...and I get to drop the Xgeva...ALREADY after two months off my bone pain is almost completely gone. She's mentioned "ball removal" and I'm thinking about it.
