PSA blip
He’s on Lupron-3,
Zytiga
& Prednisone. He got his blood results back yesterday and his PSA blipped a bit by 0.5 ; from 5.6 to 6.1. Is that a normal occurrence this early in his journey? He was dx back in July 2021.

Some Questions
- Does the fact that there is “minimally increased uptake” in one area imply that the Eligard and
Zytiga
are losing their effectiveness? - Can “increased uptake” be expected to continue? - Should any further steps be taken at this point?

Update
Have been on
Zytiga
/Dexa since August, went froom 36 to 5, held here for 6-7 months. Any suggestions on what might be next from you great set of folks. I see my MO this week and referral at Ohio State, hopefully within a couple weeks. I suspect bone scans, etc will be coming. Thanks.

I’m new here. Does Carboplatin sound right for my next course of treatment?
Currently on Lupron but stopped
Zytiga
because my PSA is rising. My PSA increased from 0.13 to 0.52 in a 3 three month span. My Oncologist wants to begin chemo with Carboplatin, but what other effective options are there.

Side effects of zytiga
Does
zytiga
or prednisone tend to cause back pain or metallic taste? And if so does anyone know any tricks or recommendations that can help? My dad is experiencing this and isn’t really sure if old age or the meds are causing the back pain and is pretty sure metallic taste is from prednisone.

Questions on treatment?
I have been taking
Zytiga
for about three years now. Just curious what your recommendations would be for me? Seems like it may be worth the try.

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?)

On Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone for nearly 1 YR - Stage 4 w/Bone Met
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 (Gleason 8-9) last August and was immediately put on Lupron, then Zytig/Pred after 3 months. PSA was only 1.2 but actually more like 2.4 since I was on Finestride. Testosterone was 650. Now after 1 year, I'm at 0.02 PSA and <5 Testosterone, both immeasurable. Prior PET

High Blood Pressure and ADT
I’m currently on 1000mg
Zytiga
and 5 mg of prednisone and 7.5 mg of Amlodpine. Based on the feedback here, I talked with my MO and I am going to increase to 10 mg of prednisone to address the increased HBP and edema issues.

Nubeqa or Zytiga, which should come first?
Urologist suggested
Zytiga
also but RO said he did not think that was necessary. From what I see adding another medication ups delay to mets, although they are probably already present. Would it be better to add Nubeqa rather than
Zytiga
?

I wasn't embracing ADT as those I knew were getting Lupron shots combined with
Zytiga
and Prednisone...and had all kind of side effects The only side effect I have had is some very transient hot flushes a couple of times a day. FWIW

DRAMATIC PSA RISE W/ZYTIGA
He did well on Xtandi for about 3-1/2 years until 03-07-22, when he was switched to
Zytiga
/Prednisone because his PSA had risen to 27 by 11-10-21. He has also not tolerated the
Zytiga
well (especially extreme fatigue), should that be relevant.

Experience with Aranesp (darbepoetin alfa) to improve HGB count
In my case,
Zytiga
, Xtandi, and now Lynparza all seemed to contribute to my low HGB count (while continuing Lupron throughout). My HGB has been between 9.6 and 10.7 over the last 18 months, last reading 10.1.
