Durable remission? This is from 2014 and I feel like this Dr. From the Mayo Clinic is "ahead" of my Oncologist(s)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkqizmvqJPo I'm wondering why my oncologist at U of M, (Sylvester) and my second opinion at the Moffitt Cancer Center....both said after Lupron for 10 months and 6 session of Taxoter..I'm doing so great...all of my bone mets disappeared and the few lymph nodes have either

Help and hope
My husband has Stage IV, advanced prostate cancer with mets to the bone and intraabdominal lymph nodes. He had a PSA in September 2017 of 540 and his doctor didn't do a biopsy until late December 2017. By then, his PSA was 1250. Gleason score 10 of all 12 biopsies. He's had Casodex, Lupron shot and

Second opinion update
Went for a second opinion last Friday, and even though I appear to have responded well to my first 3 months of treatment, it was an eye opener. Because I believe the quality of care we receive is to a significant degree related to our willingness to ask informed questions, to engage our oncologists

Genetic testing
Just curious how many people have had g-nome testing done. I feel I should have done this from the beginning to figure out what will work best. 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

Zytiga, Prednisone, Lupron
My Oncologist is now prescribing daily 1000 mg of Zytiga, 5 mg Prednisone along with my every 3rd month of Lupron. Was on daily 50 mg Casodex after 6 infusions of chemo. Had my 3rd Lupron injection today. My past posts pretty much tell my beginnings. Can anyone tell me what I am in for?

Update on husband's condition - hopeful?
First off, a huge 'Thank-you' to all who replied to my posting a few days ago. We met with a nurse practitioner and the regular MO on Monday to discuss 'what's next' for Mike. It's clear that something else needs to be done -- the Lupron and Casodex are no longer keeping his PSA at a reasonable level

My story
I still do the zomeda but I will do the
faslodex
1more time next Tues. So far I have been ok but all of a sudden I started having extreme pain in my buttocks and down both legs. My nurse told me it could be myalgia. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I am new to faslodex
Now my oncologist has decided that
Faslodex
may be the answer for a while. She advised against going to IV chemo (I am terrified of that!) at present as she feels my quality of life would be compromised earlier than necessary. Anyone out there on
Faslodex
? How do you do on it?

3 years of bliss
I was put on Ibrance 125mg. with the monthly Xgeva &
Faslodex
injections. I just had my first scan after being on the Ibrance for 4 cycles & it showed the cancer is "controlled" not in remission, but controlled. Not sure what that means but will get more info when I see my Onc. next week.

According to his urologist, he was (approximately) stage 2A. He had a relatively successful run with Lupron for nearly three years ( which became

Newbie with questions
So glad I found this site - seems like the best source of info and ideas I have seen. So it’s time to stop lurking and start participating. I am 67, still work, was diagnosed in Nov. 2017. Gleason 4+4, metasteses to local lymph nodes, pelvis, hip and one rib. Large tumor on the prostate itself.

17 years of various treatments
Hi Y'all, Regarding my husband, I have dragged him through 17 years of various treatments--all failed. However, he is still alive and kicking after all these years and we are grateful for that. He has lived a mostly normal, unaffected life through it all. He had a laparoscopic prostatectomy done
