This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
It should drop in a week or two. I had a psa of 30 and in two weeks it was 15 and in 1 month it was 0.6.
Ask your doctor about Femera, it's expensive, but if your insurance will pay it's worth it. It stops any breast growth while taking Casodex.
I've had practically no side affects except loss of libido. I had hot flashes a couple of times a day that lasted for 3 or 4 min. I rarely get hot flashes now after being on it for 5 months.
I'm currenty into week 3 of 5 weeks of IMRT after seed placements. PSA last week was undetectable; I don't know if it is the Casodex or the radiation, but I'll take it.
