Completed 2 rounds of chemo 8 to go. I can do this
When it went up the this last time me tried zytiga and
xtandi
. Both fail as my PSA was rapidly climbing. Well I was put on chemo (taxotere). My first round was terrible. I was as sick as you can get and experienced every side effect and more. It put me down hard for about 2 weeks but I got better.

Xtandi dosage
I am confused about the dosage of
Xtandi
, I'm sure I read some patients are taking 1 pill 4 times a day while others take 4 pills once a day. Did I read about these dosages on this site? I know what my oncologist said but I want it verified. Thank you.

I'm at the scary door labeled chemo
I have gone thru Zytiga and now
Xtandi
all while on Lupron and Exgeva. I was a gleason 8 with an initial PSA of 35. Prostate was removed in 2013 at 55yo. My previous scans showed I have 6 bone mets all centered in the pelvic and lower spine and no soft tissue involvement.

Diagnosis + 18 years; update since Xofigo
My PSA has risen to 5.35 so my medical oncologist has started me on
Xtandi
. The fetanyl patch has made controlling the pain much easier. I am still able to do my daily activities, play bocce 5 days a week, and light exercises.

Preparing for Round Two
I have appointments in September with my oncologist and two doctors at the Cancer Agency and I am guessing it won't be long before they put me on an androgen receptor inhibitory drug like
Xtandi
or Zytiga.

Apalutamide (ARN-509) & the SPARTAN Trial.

Gleason 9 (5+4) 10+ years ago - widely metastatic cancer and running out of options!
He’s considering clinical trials (now that his cancer has been let loose, so to speak), but he won’t do any chemo, Zytiga, or
Xtandi
. I appreciate advice!

AR-V7 Video.
New video for those interested/concerned about AR-V7 & Zytiga/
Xtandi
resistance. I don't know what form AR-V7 test results takes. One can have a few AR-V7 cells at diagnosis, but that shouldn't stop one from using either drug.

Quercetin & AR-V7.
A common form of resistance to
Xtandi
& Zytiga is the emergence of androgen receptor [AR] splice variant AR-V7, which retains AR functionality but does not need androgen for activation.

Treatment after Taxotere
I have a very aggressive form of MCRPA and Lupron,
Xtandi
, Zytiga and now Taxotere have not been effective. Has anyone gone through Jetvana or other chemo drugs other than Taxotere? Lou

Xtandi is costly in the Philippines
Uro-onc wanted to try Docetaxel but my dad wanted to postpone chemo and instead is leaning towards
Xtandi
which is another option. But it is quite costly and we cant afford it. I was reading articles from the internet and they say that Canadian pharmacies give
Xtandi
for a lower price?

Question about IMRT on multiple targets simultaneously
I have gone through Lupron, Zytiga, and
Xtandi
. I take Xgeva for the bone metastases and for the last 18 months they do not show up on bone scans nor do I have any bone pain. About a month ago, I had a PET scan specific for prostate cancer performed.

First post: Father with metastatic PCa, looking for natural treatment experiences after stoping oral chemo/radiation.
In February this year, his PSA had jumped from 3 (when he was residing in the hospital on
Xtandi
, Xgeva and Lupron injections) to 8. They stopped the
Xtandi
and prescribed him Zytiga (+ Prednisone) in it's place since the PSA kept rising.

Taking it one day at a time!
My oncologist has recently started me on Lupron with Casodex (temporary) as we're awaiting the arrival of my
Xtandi
drug. During this time period my mets became active again and the met in my spine has now aggravated a nerve that travels to my inner groin making walking any distance a challenge.

Correct Dosage of Calciterol(50,000IU D3) and any results
I have stage IV PCa and have gone through
Xtandi
, Zytiga and now on 3 treatment of taxotere. I heard that large dosed of vitamin D3 has had an effect of lowering PSA (mine is 126). Has anyone had good results with D3? And if so, what dosage should I take daily or weekly? LP16
