Does anyone have any problems with getting a little sun while on Faslodex or Ibrance? I mean I will wear sun screen but I’m dark olive skin. I never burn but I will wear sun screen which I never had to do. We are going on vacation in June and I would like to get some sun 🌞.Thanks

Faslodex
I get my first Faslodex injection tomorrow! I’m very scared because I have heard it makes you ache. I already ache enough and if anyone gets Faslodex please let me know how you are feeling and doing! Thanks for your help. Also start Verzenio and all of this is getting me down. I would appreciate any

Port...
I’m thinking about getting my Port removed. I will be taking Faslodex but isn’t that injections? It’s very large and on my left side of my chest. I know some women that keep them forever. I know women that just keep them in if Chemo is needed again. I’m sure my oncologist will say keep it in..😞. Just

Thanks all
After only four days off of
Casodex
and no new Lupron shot I can feel my head clearing and some indications of my old self coming back. If I can have an "old self" for a few months I'm a happy camper. Once again, this is a special place and I thank you all. Stay tuned.....:)) Wayne

Why I Like Right To Try
Hello Apalutamide..the problem here is Apalutamide is very similar to Xtandi and both drugs have a chemical structure based on
Casodex
...so if Apalutamide works you get maybe 3 months.

A wife's introductory post
Because he was declared as being beyond surgery and radiation, the monthly injection of LupronDepot was prescribed by his urologist plus the daily med -a generic of
Casodex
and the Tamusolin (sp?).

Xtandi
I have been on Xtandi for two months and PSA is now down to .59 and I feel much better than when I was on Lupron and
Casodex
. I have read the literature and it seems that Xtandi may work from three to 22 months. They don't ever seem to tell you what the standard deviation is.

Muscle Aches
I am currently on Ibrance and Faslodex and have muscle aches and spasms. I just finished the 3rd cycle amends. Has anyone noted increased muscle pain on these meds?

Slow recovery from Chemo, Round 4, Session 2
So the chemo did it's job the first go round, and after that treatment was concluded my MO rechallenged with
Casodex
from February 17 through May. PSA jumped from 1.25 to 56 in 4 months. So we tried Zytiga, and that began on 7/4/17.

Non Standard of Care Advice!
Went on Lupron and
Casodex
end of March 2017, and switched to Lupron and Abiraterone in August, 2017. My PSA and T have been 0 ever since. Based on advice from this board, i opted (found a very good surgeon) who performed a RP end of January 2017.

XTANDI SIDE EFFECTS
Moving along the timeline, PSA started rising and then came
Casodex
, few years later Lupron was added every three months. 2012 was introduced to Zytiga with Lupron every three months. My father has maintained a very active lifestyle, (hunting, fishing, gardening and etc).

Durable remission? This is from 2014 and I feel like this Dr. From the Mayo Clinic is "ahead" of my Oncologist(s)
session of Taxoter..I'm doing so great...all of my bone mets disappeared and the few lymph nodes have either disappeared are are almost 1/2 their size...instead of wanting to create a "durable remission/cure"...they told me "you're doing great..stay on the Lupron and when the PSA goes up...you'll start

BRCA And Parp inhibitors
I have been through Bicalutamide (
Casodex
), Chemo (Docataxel), Zytiga and Xtandi treatments. All have worked for a while and then failed. Recently I was confirmed with BRCA2 gene mutation, both germaine and in a sample tumor.

Second opinion update
Says
casodex
only a temporary drug to prevent testosterone spikes when main ADT drug is started. Says Xgeva has significant risk for liver damage and understated risk for osteonecrosis of jaw. He would give Xgeva once every 6 months.

Genetic testing
At this point it seems the chemo,
casodex
, Zytiga that have done nothing was a big waist of time and money. I am now on a targeted theropy called lymparza that took months to get as it is not approved for prostate cancer .
