Xtandi Results

My dad was diagnosed 3/2001 - he is 71 years old.
TX chemo/ radiation - Lupron- pretty much under control until 3 years ago
Tried Zytiga and no effect - was very disappointing & felt despair. Due to the progressive nature of the rise of PSA and the bone scan results he did not have the chance to go through PROVENGE.

He was on a Docetaxel then Mitoxantrone (which kept the metastasis stable) but rising PSA until Xtandi which was a surprise when he got the call that the medication was available.

PSA- 456 9/12

Started Xtandi mid October -l after two weeks of medication his - PSA dropped to 202(-254)
after 4 weeks November 19 visit - PSA 102 (-100)

His pain meds have been reduced by half. We are very excited.
I know that there is a clinical trial combining Zytiga & Xtandi as well.
