After months of urinary tract problems, I was finally diagnosed with Stage 4 Advanced Prostate Cancer with a Gleason score of 9 by the VA
The oncologist put me on Firmagon in February and
Zytiga
plus prednisone in March. The PSA went from a high of 160 down to under 4, after 3 or 4 months on ADT. A couple of months ago my PSA started creeping back up. Now it is at 20. Testosterone is less than 7. The normal range is 241-827.

information on BITE trial: anyone have experience with BITE?
it seems my partner is losing ground fast on Standard Care Lupron + (
Zytiga
failed in less than 8 months); he's on Chemo (Docetaxel (the first 4 failed out of 7 infusions) + Carboplatin (3).

day by day
(Docetaxel(Taxotere) and
Zytiga
have already failed him.) This shitty disease. I’ve never felt so hopeless and useless. My heart breaks over and over. I don’t respond with empty sentiments that may not be true and softly tell him we’ll deal with the test results when we get them.

Not responding
Zytiga
, Lynparza, Keytruda. With the Docetaxel his psa just keeps going up. He just had his fourth round. Spoke with his local oncologist yesterday. He said if someone doesn’t respond to Docetaxel it ususally is a poor prognosis. I have not yet heard from Dana Farber Dr Beltran.

Zytiga and Prednisone dosage
I’m currently taking 5mg prednisone daily along with my 1000mg abiraterone. I’ve noticed that my blood pressure has been creeping up… averaging maybe 140/80. Is this a case where I would maybe be a candidate for 10 mg of prednisone instead of just 5mg? I see my oncologist next week and plan on asking

Immediate vs Deferred Treatment of BCR after primary and adjuvant therapies. ADT, now or later?
I have low but notable PSA (<.05, 0.15, 0.29, 0.16, 0.29 over the last few months), all after after RALP and adjuvant RT with 18 months of ADT +
Zytiga
. Will learn results from from genomic testing and a PSMA PET MRI last week and then meeting with my MO on Wednesday.

How is PSMA PET scan being used in your experience?
He feels that FDG imaging has been sensitive enough to follow any changes in my disease process and is not motivated to send me elsewhere for a PSMA PET since he does not think it would change my current treatment which is Lupron and
Zytiga
/pred with a PSA that rose and plateaued at about 18.

13 year Battle with Stage 4 PC
Then he was offered a clinical trial of
zytiga
+ Predisone with Xgeva every 6 weeks. He was on this trial for a year until lymph node involvement made him ineligible. The oncologist offered the chemo Taxotere - he had 3 infusions and scans showed no improvement and significant weight loss.

1st meeting with RO tomorrow morning what questions should I ask?
I have been on Eligard for 50 days, well tolerated so far. planning to start
Zytiga
on Nov. 2nd. Not sure when radiation treatments will actually start. The plan they have proposed for me is 28 sessions with a total of 60 Gray using VMAT , IMRT. they use tattoos vs gold pellets.

Docetaxel
My husband has been on
Zytiga
, Lynparza as well as Keytruda all which have failed. He is now on Docetaxel he had his fourth round today. Psa does not seem to be responding. He will have bone scans and ct scan.Is there something he can take in conjunction with the chemo?

PSA .04 up from undetectable six weeks ago
My question is should I get back on the Xtandi or possibly try
Zytiga
and prednisone. My understanding is when I become resistant to the
Zytiga
that the Xtandi has a good chance of still working where that may not be the case the other way around. Looking for what you guys think. Thank you

Zytiga
about 6 months in. Any thoughts or info would be much appreciated.

ADT Failure?
I am on Eligard and
Zytiga
. Since starting one year ago, my PSA had dropped from 340 to 0.18. I just received my third Eligard injection earlier this week and it had been six month and a week since the prior injection.

New Game plan
Plan is to get PSMA scan and use aggressive radiation, including SBRT if needed, as well as IMRT in conjunction with Eligard and
Zytiga
to attack the spots that show up when they are small and not to let them have a chance to grow or spread.

He received external beam radiation and ADT therapy followed by
zytiga
and xtandi. Found to have a Brip1 mutation and started on the PARP lynparza but it didn’t have much effect on the PSA. He received.

Got PSMA SCAN Results-Now What?
Dr Sartor was able to start me on 1000 mg of abiraterone acetate (
Zytiga
) and 5 mg of prednisone, that same day. April 9 a local oncologist gave me a 3 month dose of leoprolide acetate (Lupron).
