Thank you.

My Patient Biography: 77 Yo
Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) DX in 06/14
• Medications currently taken: Xtandi & Xgeva- from Feb 2015
• Current PSA: 13.6 (as of 03/03/2015)
• Bone mets: 3 spots identified for the first time in Jan 2015
• Gleason Score: N/A biopsy never performed
Bilateral Orchidectomy- done in June 2014
• PSA before surgery: 565ng/ml -(on 31th May 2014)
• Meds taken after orchidectomy: Casodex - June to Dec 2014
PSA during that period:
7/14-18.2
9/14-.491
01/15-50.1
02/15-51.6
• Bones were not affected by the cancer at that time (until around January 2015);
General Health:
Physically fit. high blood pressure ; Occasional heart arrhythmia; Historically high blood sugar levels.
Has not had any serious pain yet. Side effects, from medications (Casodex, Xtandi,Xgeva) so far have been manageable.
Have been going to the toilet 3-4 times a night for the last 2 decades; Urinating less frequently (almost normal) during the day. Urination is not painful. Only within last 2 weeks of February 2015 had occasional incontinence of urine. Hoping that this is temporary, due to Xgeva and Xtandi being new to the system.
