casodex

Avatar f tn My Brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 9 months ago, doctors removed his testicles instead of his prostate( tumor was too big), he’s been taking casodex for the past 9 month, but the last couple of days he’s peeing blood, he also has a couple of stents in his kidney which the doctor said he didn’t need to remove because his kidneys were functioning on their own again, I’m concern, any idea what could be going on
Avatar m tn The side effects were so bad from the injection that I am not having any more.I am starting casodex 50g daily. The worst was my memory loss. How long can I expect the side effects to wear off.
Avatar m tn Terrible side effects with Zoladex so switching to 150 casodex daily.
Avatar f tn In 2004 his PSA started to climb and then he was on Lupon intermittently and, a couple of years later, an injection every 4 months. Casodex was also added along the way. The Lupron and Casodex were effective for 5 years as he had no outward symptoms until now and his PSA remained under 30. My husband had the hot flashes also at first, but they did go away. If I recall, the doc gave him something for that, but he didn't take it for very long.
Avatar n tn t Have Radiation Again And He Wants Me To Start On Hormone Therapy Immediately.He Even Gave Me A Prescription For Casodex When I Left His Office This Past Monday. Obviously,This Needs To Be Furthered Discussed With My Oncologist Who Feels 2.5 Is Still Within The Safety Zone. I Also Need To Be Educated On Side Effects,Duration Of Treatment,Etc.

Avatar f tn Question concerns Merkel Cell Carcinoma and CLL. Patient is 63 yo male, dx'd with prostate cancer '95 and treated with seeds. PCa metastatic to bone in '99. PCa controlled with double dose Casodex. Patient dx'd with CLL '99-no treatment given. WBC mostly 35-45K asymptomatic except slow wound healing. Patient dx'd with Merkel Cell Carcinoma '07. Merkel cell treated unsuccessfully with chemo and successfully with radiation.
Avatar m tn I am currently doing antiandrogen monotherapy with casodex with a rising PSA. 0.17 to 2.8 in one year. How long does one stay on such treament,and what are the best treatments for hormone refractive prostate cancer. No prostate cells or metastatis has been detected,however possible micrometastasis. Taxatere only has a survival rate of 2 months.I am more interested in QOL and no chemo for me.
Avatar f tn 1st Lupron injection coupled with oral Casodex in May 2010. Three month PSA immeasureable. PSA results every three months as follows: Jan.2011 - 0.12, April 2011 - 0.30, July 2011 - 5.35, January 14, 2012 - 6.20. He only had the one Lupron injection because the side effects were so bad. He has been on no treatment since then. He is going for a bone scan on Wednesday. Looking for your advice. Do you think a PSA of 6.20 is of concern at this point.

For this purpose, it uses several mechanisms: It secretes Neurokinin B containing phosphocholine molecules. This is the same mechanism used by parasitic nematodes to avoid detection by the immune system of their host.[2]" http://en.wikipedia.
