Hello everyone, I saw my oncologist last Monday. I left the office feeling depressed for the first time in a while. She is a good doctor and she really is trying to help me. What it is, I am on my third kind of treatment; first letrozole/palbociclib, then everolimus/exemestane, now Faslodex since November

Hi All I've just got back from seeing my oncologist to get my latest scan results, and the good news is that the bone mets are stable but he thinks there may be a nodule on my liver. The scan has gone back to the radiologist for further intereptation but the oncologist wasn't hopeful. It looks like

Casodex
He started me on
casodex
until I go back to the oncologist for Lupron. I was 3.7 and after 10 days I went Dow to 2.04. PSA Since I have not had any real reactions to the
casodex
he suggests I continue with it for another month to see if PSA continues to drop.

"Bicalutamide {
Casodex
} treatment significantly increased aromatase expression, and CYP19A1 expression positively correlated with estrogen responses and epithelial-mesenchymal transition."

Long Overdue Update
Degarelix and
Casodex
tried first. First dose of docetaxel started in ICU and he survived to be discharged, wasn’t expected to live six months. 9 rounds of docetaxel, taken off my MD Anderson. Nadir was 2.28 I believe. Two months later PSA rising again and Xtandi started.

Faslodex and Xgeva Part II

Lowering Ibrance dose
Anyone else have their Ibrance dose lowered, and found it helps with side effects? I have asked my onc to consider lowering my 125mg Ibrance to 100. I’ve read the 100mg dose is just as effective. Anyone else lower their dose? Did it help side effects? Also at onc suggestion, I’m about to switch from

Next line of treatment: too many options
Casodex
was removed but PSA and Alkaline Phos is still trending up, despite very low testosterone. So now we are faced with some options, and feeling overwhelmed by them. Option 1: Move forward with the standard next line of treatment, Zytiga or Xtandi.

How Long Does it Take a Bone Mets Fracture to Heal?
I really want to know how long a fractured bone takes to heal while on IBrance, Faslodex & Xgeva (every 3mos)? In April 2019, after thinking I had a pulled quad muscle for 8 mos, learned I had stage 4 Bone Mets in my left pelvis bone at the mid-point of the hip socket. There is no way to do bone cement

Update on Lymph Node Metastatic Prostate cancer
Previously, my PSA was 4.48 at the start of
Casodex
and Lupron in Nov '18. It went down by 96% by end of Feb '19. Should my PSA gone down to undetectable by now? The CT Scan contains: Abdominal lymph nodes: There are small retroperitoneal lymph nodes that are not enlarged by size criteria.
