I have had PC for 10 years. Had a RP and Radiation 9 years ago. It has taken 8 years for my PSA to rise to 4.2. My doctor has me on a Cassodex only, 50mg, regime and in 2 months it has reduced my PSA from 4.2 0.27.
I have a friend who takes only Cassodex when his PSA gets to 5, then stops 3 month later when his PSA gets below 1.0. It usually it takes 2 years to climb back to 5.0.
Has anyone else tried this? The side effects on Cassodex are not nearly as bad as Lupron, but I seem to have less energy and sore nipples.
Doe anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.
