Hi I'm new to this group from KS
I was originally diagnosed with Stage 2B in August of 2011, I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction surgery, followed by Chemo, radiation and hormone therapy. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 when it moved to my bones. I'm still Estrogen Positive and have gone through all the oral meds for hormone

statins (lipitor) and metastatic prostate cancer
My current cancer meds are
casodex
and lupron. Has anyone have any positive, negative reactions with Lipitor. I'm in the metastatic phase of my battle, mets to bone, a few enlarged lymph nodes. I'm getting some information that a statin med might actually help slow my cancers growth. Opinions?

Question For The Board
Casodex
has fewer side effects because T is not lowered but DHT is still a problem. I just read a study where
Casodex
+ Avodart was just as effective as Lupron in controlling PCa. So, why take Lupron when you can take
Casodex
+ Avodart and lessen so many of the side effects of Lupron therapy.

Elgie Starting Xtandi
He says that if it is....then the
casodex
is not working so he changed him to Xtandi. Wondering what we should expect from Xtandi. He will start him out on two pills and hopefully work him up to 4 which makes me wonder about the side effects if he can get to 4.

Non-PCa Prescription Drugs: Valproic Acid / Valproate
Aim of this study was to evaluate whether the PTEN downmodulation, observed during bicalutamide {
Casodex
} treatment, was due to epigentic events." "... 54 and 68% of primary cultures displayed detectable amounts of PTEN protein and mRNA, respectively."

GOING FOR IT!
My urologist according to his cancer nurse, would not prescribe
casodex
tablets for my cancer whether it was T2 or T3 though in his letter things are more ambiguous as he says he cannot rule out T3 and it says localised advanced prostate cancer would have
casodex
prescribed - well T3 in the Prostate

Hot Flashes
Been on intermittent lupron +
casodex
since 2011. Have hot flashes every 45 minutes, even when off treatment. Have found nothing that works. Am thinking of estrodil patch. Anyone have any experience with this? Joe

Bicalutamide (Casodex) plus Dutasteride (Avodart)
The rationale behind the combination of
Casodex
& Avodart was articulated in a 2009 paper [2]: "Bicalutamide blocks androgen action in men with prostate cancer but has low affinity for the androgen receptor compared to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

PCA and Agent Orange survivor
Currently on Lupron with
Casodex
recently added and also a swarm of other issues; kidney stones, urosepsis, now arthritis. Basic treatment was HDR brachetherapy since no surgery possible; not the implants but 18 steel rods through crotch into prostate where they felt cancer was.

4 month Casodex + radiation
He suggested a course of
Casodex
for 4 mos with radiation and 28 months of Lupron. No Dx or node involvement at this time. I am not interested in the 28 months of Lupron now, I most likely will have time for that later. But I am considering the 4 months of
Casodex
with the radiation.

Husband is Stage IV Metastatic to Bones with Rising PSA
He was put on one month of
Casodex
and received his first Lupron shot on 3/10 and started RT on 3/22. We were told surgery was out because it had spread so much. We met with oncologist who set up chemo for after radiation.

Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Apigenin
Anyway, a 2015 paper reported that
Casodex
& Xtandi (both antiandrogens) could resensitize PCa to Taxotere by inhibiting ABCB1 efflux.
