Dealing with advanced stage 4 metastatic APC age 70
When it doubled I started treatment AdT drugs
Zytiga
. Lupron, xygeva and pednistone. But it has metastasized to my bone. Find Vicodin to give me pain felines and energy to physically force myself to be active and try not to sleep too late. Ok good luck everyone. CaptSquid 2u

Update and question
Lupron,
Zytiga
, prednisone and 35 radiation treatments. My last 4 PSA (every 3 months) have been less than 0.015. Side affects are gone. Changed diet and I work out. I feel like a time bomb....just waiting. Yesterday I began having blood in my urine. My oncologist is on maternity leave.

, pred and spread of pca itself (2) i asked dr that since pred is needed with
zytiga
to replace what
zytiga
takes away re adrenals (this may not be accurate description but ok for this topic) , that is, - that since pred is

Penis pump - no effect :-( Any experience/advice?
I got on Eligard and
Zytiga
+pred. right away and currently I am undergoing radiation to prostate (AND the 3 pelvic bone metastases - I challenged them to do so and they agreed due to my young age).. Anyways... PSA has dropped steadily since: 90->33->3.0->2.1 (start day radiation March 4th).

Stooping to Pick Up a Pill ...
But then -- there it is, my precious
Zytiga
, the pill of the gods, $120 apiece on the open market, the mud-colored pearl that keeps my cancer at bay, now bearded weird with bunny dust.

Guess I can't lurk forever
Lupron all 2018-9, added
Zytiga
+ prednisone in December 2019. Need pain meds for pain from rib fractures early 2019, learning to balance need for them with supplements to avert constipation they cause. I am in the Kaiser health system.

The Mental Game
I have been taking Lupron and
Zytiga
with prednisone following a Divinci prostatectomy since June 2019 and my PSA remains undetectable. Dear wife, children, and MO all say to be thankful for the results so far and enjoy life.

Vaxchora and other year ends news
I had no side effects from the drug, which is a live virus oral vaccine I remain PSA undetectable, 18 months, and 6 months after I stopped Lupron/
Zytiga
. The bad news is that the prednisone taken with
Zytiga
apparently controlled my “radiation colitis.”

Some good news today On PSMA SCAN
Scholz, wanted to hit it hard an early so I did four sessions of chemo,
Zytiga
, Lupron, SBRT radiation on the three mets, metformin, simivastin and for good measure I added Zometa and Celebrex (which together was proven to reduce deaths by over 20%).

Car-t vs regeneron vs Lu177
I had a long conversation with Dr Drake today regarding my treatment options for mCRPC after having failed xtandi and
zytiga
, and after recently finishing chemoRx with progression on my latest scans.

Follow-up...and perhaps hope for us all
Been on ADT and
Zytiga
for 11 months to hopefully cleanup anything that may remain. PSA has been undetectable since the treatment for recurrence began last January. All things considered, I feel great and am hopeful that that just maybe we got it this time.

First PSA rise in three years, watch for doubling time? Or look into scans?
And another question, should he go for another line of systemic such as Abiraterone (
zytiga
). I apologize for all of the questions, but we have been coasting for the last three years (and feel very lucky) and I feel we must be prepared for the future.

Lung biopsy experience?
I started
Zytiga
a week ago. The cancer has spread to my lymph nodes. I also have 4 small spots in my lungs, largest 1 cm, initially they said it was my prostate cancer. Doc said “what else can it be”? My bone scan was negative.

Disease progressing after chemo. What now.
Xtandi and
zytiga
have failed. Had chemo with docetaxil and carboplatin this summer, 6 cycles. PSA went from 18 to 6.8. Last chemo was October. PSA now 20 with evidence of progression in lymph nodes and bones. Lungs and liver clear. Need to decide next treatment. Would appreciate any advice.

Severe joint pain while on Zytiga + dexamethasone + temazepam (for insomnia from dexamethasone) along with xofigo and xgeva
After taxotere, then 1-1/2 years doing very well on Lynparza +
Zytiga
+ Prednisone + Xgeva, PSA went up (last July - 5 months ago) so stopped Oliparib and switched steroids to dexamethasone (higher, 4mg. doses at first, now tapered down to 1mg) and added Xofigo for widespread bone mets.
